they were to have half the proceeds,

This was not ngreeable, however. The

proceeds did not meet expenses, the

* A Waste of Time.
The average girl has not the right
idea of what it means to be accomp
lished, we wish to be understood
ns meaning that the one spoken of
has perfected some acquirement. To
be accomplished does not Imply that
we must sit at all the different graces
of society; young girls waste much
valuable time in obtaining a fire-fly
glow of knowledge of everything.
Custom says that girls must, whether
they have any talent or not, loam to
play tho piano; sheet after sheet of
music is furnished them, dollars are
paid -for Instructors, hours are de
voted to practice, and how many suc
ceed in making good players? At any
pleasant homo gathering, at. a con
cert or church service, how many
girls can play for tho occasion? Tho
average girl takes up piano playing
simply for the reason that she must
know a little something of music;
she must bo able to run over the pop
ular melodies; but beyond this, she
has no ambition. Time is wasted in
abusing tho beautiful art Instead of
acquiring the art. In the same man
ner we find much valuable time wast
ed gaining a little smattering of tho
languages; also voice culture, paint
ing, needle work nnd many other
things that go to make the definition
of the so-called accomplishments. Us
ually an accomplished girl can paint
a little, play a little, do a little needle
work, but not one of them enn she do
well enough to earn money. This Is
one of tho girl’s greatest faults, that
she does not devote sufficient time to
learn one thing perfectly. All young
people should early learn to appreci
ate the great power resulting from
acquiring the art of application. Lot
tho young people do that for which
they have a talent and a liking, and
let them do it thoroughly, nnd not be
content with a little smattering—Ex.
