Mrs.llaudall said "l cimen teach

. C. H. Verrill said " While it is ne

them to know much beyond theiles.sonis

Schools, said : " Man needs education

" Feeling the, importance of edivaL 1

where money has been poured out for

The readiness with which 'American
girls accept the attention of comparaL
tivostrangors, is forever a Matter of ECEIL
tonishment to strangers. It would be
as much a. matter, of aStotiishment to
ourselves, if we once stepped to think
about it. A gentleman is casually in—
troduced, a liVely conversation folloin,
calls are imi'deAhe next day,, and for a
week to come,/ rides, ffirtations :lid love
makings entered upon, and oftentimes,
after no more than a fortnight'eacquain
tauce, confidence given that not less l
than half a year's acquaintance should
warrant.
~A case of- this sort of eager intimacy
occurred in a pretty inland town 'not .
more than one hundred miles fro& N.'
York, which resulted me4t disastrously.

the town, saw and fancied, a young la-;
dy' upon the street, *ascertained her
name, etc., forged'a letter of introduc
tion, 'presented it, With himself, and
was most,cordially received by the lady
and her parents. Walks, rides and ex
cursions ensued,. and •in less .than one
