It is not only bad for: physical health, but is bad for moral alo. A very serious and common mistake in the training of our girls is the neglect definitely to provide against the vicissitudes of life with the faculty of noble, self support. Just think of. your daughter, well born and rocked in theJa J) of luxury, commg, onepf these days, to sewing5 or keeping boarders for a livelihood. Yet thousands of girls, herupon whose gifts, have come to that. It .seems to us that a very rich man who has daughters should provide for them with visions of the almshouseeontinuallyfloating before his eyes. No amount of pecuniary endowmentswill be a sure defence against the demons of pauperism, Tno fires may burn it up, tno waves may engulf it, prodigal scoundrels of huslwnds may waste it, rascally trustees and ; girlhool-fortune-lavish- - etl - -" executors may pillage it. These and a thousand kindred contingencies considered, besides the proverbial helplessness - oman, are almost enough to make a thought ful and cautious man pray that daughters may not be born unto him. So,' then, we say, let the education of our girls provide for the possible problems of self-hel-p In the noblest-possib- le way. The . daughters of millionaire and mechanics alike should be made distinctly to understand that all the love romances lie, and that there is no such thing as making compact with fortune to avert the necessity of honest toil. Nay, more, we would have the girls taught that labor, especially brain labor, for the benefit of the world, is too noble to be un dertaken for mere mercenary ends, albeit the world must and will pay for it. Our American girls need a great deal of and their fathers discipline and mothers need to have a great many of their foolish notions of propriety about toil, and the wicked caste idea it encourages, killed as the rank social weed it is. You will hardly find a girl who will teach school, orn parent who will allow it, except1 under the compulsion of a scanty purse. What a shame to our Christianity is this! A fine lady, rustling in her silks, boasts that she has had all masters in literature and art, has seen all the galleries of Europe, speaks three languages, can draw from nature, and we know not what else; and yet she would not soil her respectibility by teaching a child of ignorance the alphabet or hammering the multiplication table into a class of little in calico!
