Young Ladies.
The day-dreams of life often turn into sober realities. It is a matter-of-fact business to live in this world, and encounter all its trials and responsibilities. The bright and sunny morning often becomes overcast and cloudy. Trials and sorrows will come. The wisest and best way is to prepare early to meet them with calmness and fortitude, and trust in God. Young ladies in making preparations for life, should keep their eye on the objects for which they are to live, and make their preparations accordingly. If it be merely to flutter in the sunshine like a butterfly, let them spend their time in painting their wings, but if they are to grapple with the realities of life, let them spend childhood and youth in acquiring that education, which will fit them for the scenes before them.
