A SISTER’S INFLUENCE OVER HER BROTHER. “Gain your brother’s confi¬ dence, my dear girl, else you will have no influence over him, ’’ writes Ruth Ashmore, “A Sister,s Influence Over Her Brother,” in the August Ladies Home Journal. ‘Force your-self to be interested in whatever he tells you. Let no escort be as charming to you as he is. Make him And pleasure in the same so¬ ciety that you do, and if, for some reason find it tiresome then arrange to go in another set, but always a good one, and which he will appreciate appreciat¬ in which he will be ed.

A brother is very often the It reproduction is if he of his sister. as were a mirror into which when the sister looked she found re fleeted all her faults and most of her virtues.” THE OLD FASHIONED GIRL. She was a little girl until she was fifteen years old, and then she helped her mother in her househould duties. She had her hours to play, and enjoyed herself to the ful¬ lest extent. She never said to her mother, “I dont want to,” for obedience was to her a cherished virtue.— She arose in tl;e morning when called, and we do not sup¬ pose she had her hair done in curling papers and crimp¬ ing-pins, or banged over her forehead. She did not grow into a young lady and talk about her beau before she was in her teens, and she did not read dime novels, nor was she fancying a hero in every boy she met. The old fashioned girl was modest in demeanor, and never talked slang or used by-woids. She did not laugh at old peo¬ ple nor make fun of cripples. She had respect for her el¬ ders and was not above list¬ ening to words of counsel from those older than her¬ self. She did not know as much as her mother, nor did she think that her judge¬ ment was as good as that of her grandmother.— She did not go to parties by the time she was ten years old and stay till after midnight dancing with chance young men who happened to be present, She went to bed in season. and doubtless .said her prayers, and the sleep of innocence, up in the morning, happy and capable of giving happiness, And now, if there is an old fashioned girl in the world to day, may Heaven bless and keep her and raise up others like her. This paper gives the news. Good Advice to Girls. The following taken from a wes¬ tern journal, contains a great deal of good sense, and will be food for profitable thought to those who feel themselves addressed: ‘Girls, let me talk to ycu a little while. Not to you, wild girls, who do not care much what you do; nor to you, very proper girls who never laugh out of the wrong side of your mouth nor at the wrong time, nor ever do anything you shouldn’t. But the common, averagsgirls, whom we meet at the railway station and in the academy. In the farm house, and in the village, and who have ‘Allows’ and enjoy ‘going’ with them. ‘When I see you at church, and lectures with these same ‘fellows’ “ lo96 ther h ; n,3 ,' n hand I w ant to say to you don t do , Don t do anyth,ng that you «11 look took « pon from the .naturer age o£ thirty, and w,sh you hadn t.

Your careless words and actions may inflame his passions and presently some one falls and you can but say that it is partly your fault. No doubt it is very pleasant to be supported in your evening walk or ride by the arms of y»ur dear Augustus, or to lean your head to rest upon his con venient shoulder, holding his hand and give him a parting kiss, but, as sure as you live to ten years old¬ er, you will be sorry that you did it. In strength of your virtue, did you eyer think that some weaker sister may see or know of the act and think if you do so, it cannot be improper? The consequence is that some body takes advantage of her weakness, and she is lost.
