Tub Slandering of Women.
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
