Perhaps the blackest crime of which man can become guilty is the use of slanderous remarks about women. We look upon the man who trifles with the fair fume of women as being a murderer of the foulest kind, and one who should be shunned as you would a most venomous reptile. Never use a woman's name at an im proper time or in mixed company. Never make assertions about her that you think are untrue, or allu sions that you feel she herself would blush to hoar. When you meet ence of thoso whoso lack of judgmont urged thom to circulato the report. A slander is soon propagatod, and the smallest thing derogatory to a woman's character will fly on tho wings of the wind, and magnify as it circulates, until its enormous weight crushes the victim. Eospect the name of woman, for our mothers, wives and sisters are womon, and as we would have thoir fair fame un tarnished, and thoir fair lives unbit torod by slander's vicious tonguo, wo should heed the ill that our words may bring upon the mother, wifo or sister of some follow creature A man who, with inky fingers, wrote to a friend of the enlargement of his income, was told that his letter was good evidence of its ink-crease. r .lifer i A party of young follows found fault with the buttor on the boarding house table.

No ono will con tond thnt thore are no orimos com mitted by married man. Facts would look such an as sertion out of coun tenance. But it may bo said with truth, thnt there are very few orimos committed by mornod mon,com pared with tho number commit ted by thoso who are unmarried. m Whatever fan Its Voltaire may havo had, ho corlainly showed himjolf a man of souse when ho said, "Tho moro married mou you linvo, the fewer crimosthoro will bo.
