+ FEMALE SEX.
+
+
+ The maid that walks in folly’s path,
+ Thoughtless and heedless as she goes;
+ Will land in misery at last,
+ Beset around with many foes:
+
+ But she who minds instruction young,
+ Attentive to her bus’ness stays;
+ In sweetest notes her name is sung,
+ On harps of gold, where virtue plays.

+
+
+ _ADVERTISEMENT._
+
+The following hints were originally designed for the benefit of a few
+individuals, for whom the author had a particular regard, and also felt
+himself under obligations to give them all that instruction which might
+be deemed necessary to guide them in the paths of virtue and morality,
+and to shun those vices which often ruin the female sex, and are too
+predominant in the world.
+
+But as all young people are in one predicament, and instructions that
+are suitable for one, may be equally applied to the whole; therefore,
+for the benefit of the present, and future rising generations, these
+few lines are made public.
+
+And although the Author would not blush to own this piece of work, yet,
+for certain reasons, his name is concealed.
+
+
+
+
+ [Illustration]
+
+ TO
+ YOUNG FEMALES, &c.
+
+
+The most critical time of youth, especially of the female sex, is
+while they are in their juvenile years. At this age, when they are
+entering as it were upon the borders of life, to act in some degree for
+themselves, the greatest care and attention ought to be paid to them.
+And from the age of puberty, until they arrive to maturity, and are
+settled in the world, they ever ought to be considered as under the
+care and protecting eye of their parents, guardians, or masters.
+
+How can parents, guardians, or masters, feel as though they had
+discharged their duty towards their children, and those under their
+care, in this respect, when they see them, entering on the wheels of
+time, exposed to all the temptations of an alluring world, and scarcely
+or never give them one check or caution!
+
+And as it is to be feared that some parents, &c. are guilty of too
+much neglect on this hand, so others govern with too much restraint
+on the other. If you mean that your children should learn to govern
+themselves, you must learn it to them by experience; that is, by giving
+them a little lenity, together with your good counsel and advice, and
+according to their improvement, give them more and more, until they
+learn the art of self-government. But if you endeavor to keep them
+wholly under restraint, and never let them learn from experience the
+different manners and customs of people abroad; if they should happen
+to break out of your reach (as most likely they will, at certain times)
+they will (according to the vulgar expression) behave more like _hogs
+let out of the sty_; than like ladies; and not knowing the art of self
+government, they will be likely to break over all rules of decency and
+decorum.
+
+But although parents, &c. may pay the strictest attention to their
+children, &c. unless there is the greatest degree of caution and
+circumspection attended to, on the part of the children, it will avail
+but very little.
+
+Young people are apt to be insensible to the danger they are in, until
+their name is stained with a blot that is very hard to wipe away. The
+wise man has justly observed, that “A good name is rather to be chosen
+than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.”
+
+The reputation of youth, a young maiden more especially, may be
+compared to china ware, or transparent glass, which is very easily
+broken, but impossible to mend, so but what it will leave a blemish
+behind.
+
+How often does the thoughtless youth, in some unguarded hour, fall
+into some trifling folly or other which stamps a blur upon their
+characters, and fills their minds with shame and remorse. And it is
+too frequently the case, that in order to prevent the evils of one
+piece of bad conduct, they run into another, which only sinks them
+deeper and deeper. They then begin to give up all hopes of recovery,
+their minds become dissipated, and they give themselves over to all the
+vain delusions and allurements of time and sense. And as they travel
+on in the paths of folly, they become lost to all sense of virtue and
+morality, consequently happiness is fled, and they generally become
+slaves to misery and discontentment.
+
+Such a life as this would be thought scarcely worth possessing! yet how
+often do we behold those who appeared to be very promising when they
+first started in life, and presented to us the most pleasing prospects,
+land on these shores at last, and drag out a miserable life, with shame
+and ignominy: while on the other hand, it often happens, that those
+who make a small appearance, and are thought but a very little of,
+when they first set out in life; yet by attending to good instruction,
+and the strictest caution and prudence, they have arisen to honor and
+dignity in the world, and are loved and esteemed by all virtuous people.
+
+If these are facts, they show the importance of early attending to
+instruction.
+
+And that you, my young friend, blooming with virgin beauty, unsullied
+with vice, and unimpaired with age; that you may shun those pernicious
+practices that will lead you in shame and disgrace, and pursue those
+paths that will lead you to honor and dignity in the world, and gain
+you a name that is more valuable than silver or gold, I leave you the
+following
+
+
+ RULES.
+
+1. Keep a due regard over all your thoughts, and see that they are
+intent upon the business in which you are employed, that you may pay a
+proper attention to the same.
+
+Nothing is more dangerous than an absent mind. It is rude to indulge
+the thoughts to rove upon indifferent objects, even when you are in
+company; but more especially when attending to your domestic concerns.
+If your thoughts are not mostly engaged in the business before you,
+time will steal away faster than you are aware of; night will come on
+before you are ready for it, many things must go undone that you ought
+to have attended to, and that which you have done will be apt to be
+slighted, or done to the halves; and you will thereby get to yourself
+rebukes and reproaches, which you might have easily prevented, and you
+will now begin to repent when it is too late to mend a bad day’s work.
+
+By indulging an absent mind, young people are apt to be deaf to
+all that is said to them, or at least, it does not make an abiding
+impression on their minds; by which means they are apt to do their work
+wrong, have it to undo, and do over again, and sometimes spoil it in
+the end; which will make them feel very much chagrined, and also it
+will fret, perplex, and weary the patience of those who employ them.
+
+All this might have been easily avoided by care and attention; and not
+only so, but you would improve in your business, and thereby make it
+become habitual and easy.
+
+You cannot expect to become master of any kind of business, without
+much care and attention; and this ought to make you more studious in
+the same, for remember, that there is no business that you will be
+likely to be called to attend to, now when young, but what (if you
+should ever have a family of your own) you must attend to the same for
+yourself, or at least, have it attended to; and therefore it is highly
+necessary that you should now become master of it.
+
+This is what ought to excite your mind now when young, that you may
+be well qualified to be mistress of your own family; and even if you
+should never have any family, this will do you no harm.
+
+2. Never flatter yourself that you know how the business should be
+done better than your teachers; therefore hear with patience their
+instructions, and always be submissive to their directions.
+
+Never contradict them in any sense whatever; but if you think that
+any other way, different from what they direct, would do better,
+you may inform them of it, but do it with the greatest modesty and
+circumspection; and if they comply with what you say, it is well, but
+if they do not, add no more, but obey as you were first directed.
+
+Always make the business of the day the first object, and then if you
+have any leisure hours, you may improve them to the best advantage and
+for your own profit and satisfaction.
+
+Never allow yourself to be peevish and fretful about your work, food,
+dress, or any thing of the like nature, even if the business does not
+go on to suit you; for this will only make the business more irksome
+and fatiguing, without any kind of benefit to yourself.
+
+3. Do not expect even from your best endeavors wholly to escape without
+censure. For the mind of youth is so fickle, it would be very strange
+if you did not sometimes go astray, and not do so well as you might;
+and if you do, you must expect reproof, and rebuke, and you ought to
+take it kindly, and endeavour to do better for the future.
+
+But even if you should always do your best, you must expect that you
+will sometimes do wrong, even for want of knowledge; and you cannot
+expect that people will always exercise that patience, so but what they
+will many times chide you, and find fault, even when you have done your
+best. All this you ought to bear with patience without a murmuring
+word: for if you are conscious to yourself that you have done as well
+as you could, even a sharp rebuke need not trouble you; for you may
+gain some knowledge by it, and therefore it may terminate for your own
+advantage. Besides, if you bear it with patience, and try to convince
+them by your future conduct that you used your best endeavors to have
+every thing done as it should be, this will have a tendency to convince
+them of their error, and cause them to exercise more patience for the
+future.
+
+Always pay a proper respect to your parents, guardians, or masters,
+and ever be submissive to their commands. Never try to aggravate them,
+even if they should find fault at trifles; that is, to treat the matter
+with a kind of indifferency, though you did not care to displease them;
+for this will only make them more fretful for the future.―― But if you
+are sensible that you have done wrong, you ought to confess it, and
+endeavour to reform; but if you think you are not to blame let the
+whole matter pass in silence.
+
+4. You must not only pay the greatest attention to your domestic
+concerns, but a proper decorum in all your words and actions must be
+attended to. Your leisure hours should be employed in reading useful
+books, which will be most likely to furnish your mind with a store of
+religious and moral improvements. Read the characters of those ladies
+who have lived virtuous and pious lives, and endeavour to imitate their
+examples.
+
+And if you should ever happen to read the characters of any profligate
+women (not to call them ladies) endeavour to make only this use of
+their characters; that is, to shun their vices, avoid their pernicious
+practices, and thereby escape the miseries that attend them.
+
+5. Endeavour to treat all persons with civility. Pay a proper respect
+to your superiors, complaisance to your equals and courteously treat
+those whom you shall deem to be your inferiors.
+
+Establish in your own mind a certain rule of decency and modesty, to
+be attended to in all companies, and at all times, whether at home or
+abroad.
+
+In all companies, give each one an opportunity for their proper share
+of conversation. Remember that a talkative, loquacious woman, a
+young woman more especially, often exposes her weakness, and sickens
+the ear with her babblings. “The torrent of her words overwhelmeth
+conversation.” Therefore every species of rudeness ought to be
+avoided as unbecoming your sex. Again, frequent and loud laughter doth
+not become any person, especially a woman, and a young woman more
+especially.―― Therefore it ought to be avoided on all occasions as not
+belonging to the rules of decency, and as unbecoming the fair sex.
+
+6. The strictest attention must be paid to the conversation which you
+may occasionally have with the other sex. Be not forward in beginning a
+conversation with them; but be always ready to return all compliments
+that may be given to you with an easy address, and in a becoming
+manner, without being daunted or even put to the blush.
+
+In order to facilitate this business, endeavour to treasure up in your
+memory, those addresses and compliments, that by constant observation,
+you may hear drop from those whom you deem to be your superiors; and
+endeavor to make them familiar to yourself, so that you may be able to
+use them on any occasion, with propriety, & without the appearance of
+affectation or dissimulation.
+
+And as you would avoid a prudish disposition on the one hand, so you
+must equally avoid a volatile, idle, and wanton disposition on the
+other. To facilitate which, give yourself more to thinking and less to
+talking, so that when you do speak, you may always speak with decency,
+modesty, and propriety. Always mind to speak plain and distinctly,
+and loud enough to be understood, with a modest smile on your face,
+without a rude look in your countenance.
+
+But let your speeches be short and comprehensive; and never try to
+prolong a conversation, unless it be upon topics that are becoming your
+sex. But if the conversation should be disagreeable and unbecoming,
+endeavor to turn the attention to some other object, introduce some
+other topic, or else find an occasion of absence.
+
+7. Remember that the bloom of your youth, your healthy and ruddy
+countenances, the rose on your cheeks, and the sparkling vigor of your
+eyes, will gain you more admirers than real lovers. Here pause for a
+few moments and consider! for it is the most delicate point for you to
+steer through and your name and reputation to remain unsullied.
+
+How often doth the blooming and most promising youth, by one fatal
+misstep, stain their characters with ignominy, and blast their
+reputation forever.
+
+It is much easier to avoid temptation, than to resist the deceitful
+arts of the tempter.
+
+The deceitful heart of a fond admirer, out of a vain pretence of love
+and affection, will work upon every passion that wit can invent or
+lust suggest, in order to allure your affections, intrude upon your
+chastity, and win you over to their fond embraces, and carnal appetites.
+
+O heed not their flatteries, neither give way to their alluring
+and licentious persuasions! for when they have ruined you, their
+flatteries will be turned into contempt, and their pretended love into
+downright hatred. And in the end, they will even forsake you, without
+regard or pity. Therefore beware of sycophants! and be not deceived
+by their enticing words! Even if they reproach you to your face for
+your rigorous treatment, yet behind your back, they will applaud your
+constancy.
+
+Remember that the taste may be satiated with the sweetest fruit,
+where there is a full enjoyment; but let a person participate only by
+anticipation, and the nearer to enjoyment, the more valuable the prize
+will be.
+
+8. Learn to distinguish between true, genuine love, and mere fancy. He
+who truly loves or respects you, will not wish to have you violate
+your honor or chastity, neither will he violently intrude upon the
+same, although he may endeavour to prove your constancy.
+
+Therefore when you have reason to believe that any one sincerely
+respects you, and if you also wish to continue to be worthy of his
+esteem; remember that you cannot do any thing more against yourself
+than to give over your chastity, or go beyond rules of decency.
+
+But if you have reason to believe that any one’s pretended love is
+nothing more than mere fancy, which will generally shew itself by a
+vehement fondness; vows, promises, &c. learn to treat it with a silent
+neglect; for his utmost wishes will never promote your real happiness.
+
+9. Be not anxious to be admired by every one, but only be careful that
+the virtuous have no occasion to speak evil against you; to avoid which
+you have only to live a virtuous life.
+
+Keep a due regard over all your words and actions; not only when you
+are with those whom you esteem to be virtuous, but even if you should
+happen to fall in company with those of the baser sort.
+
+It hath been an old maxim, _that when we are with the Romans, we must
+do as the Romans do_. And the maxim may be a good one, so far as we can
+comply with it, and not break over the rules of decency and propriety;
+but no farther. For it is no rule, neither will it be any excuse for
+you, to be loose, vain, or lascivious, even if you should happen to
+fall in company with persons of this description. But the wiser method
+is, to avoid all such company; for the characters of persons are often
+judged by the company they keep. Therefore, if you would wish to avoid
+the reproaches of every one, you must not only abstain from vice
+yourself, but you must forsake the company of the vicious.
+
+10. Do not reveal your secrets to any one, unless it will be as much
+for their interest to keep, as it will be for yours to have them kept;
+and never reveal the secrets of others, when it will not injure you to
+keep them.
+
+Never make any promise that you do not mean to perform; and fulfil all
+your promises when you have once made them; unless you find that you
+were deceived when you made them, and therefore ought not to have
+promised.
+
+Never speak of the failings of another to a third person, but with the
+greatest reluctance, especially those of your own sex. If you can say
+no good of persons, you had better say nothing about them. For as you
+would not wish to have your own failings published to the world, so you
+must be exceeding careful not to publish the failings of others.
+
+But should you discover a failing in your friend, you may, and ought to
+remind him or her of it, between you and them alone, but do it with the
+greatest modesty. And if your friends should tell you of a fault, take
+it kindly of them and endeavor to reform.
+
+Never appear to slight the company of any one, while in their presence,
+even if it should be disagreeable; but rather endeavor to find some just
+occasion of absence, and avoid their company for the future.
+
+Treat every one with civility, but use no flattery nor dissimulation
+to any one; but let the words of your mouth be the sentiments of your
+heart.
+
+11. Do not try to outvie all others in dress, &c. but let your dress
+be modest, and suited to your circumstances. Remember that a real
+character doth not consist in the outward adornings of the body, but in
+the inward adornings of the mind and understanding.
+
+Although a fop, or a coxcomb, might be charmed at the sight of fine
+ribbons, and embroidered apparel; yet the man of understanding will
+look for the more refined beauties; the adornments of the mind.
+
+12. But however you may appear in company, and abroad, your real
+character for lasting reputation and future happiness in the world,
+must be formed and established at home; even in the kitchen, and in
+attending to your domestic concerns.
+
+Here is where you are to form your character, not only for happiness,
+but also for usefulness in the world. By attending to industry,
+cookery, and all the domestic employments, you will qualify yourself
+to become the mistress of a family; and not only so, but here you will
+prepare yourself to be a worthy companion for a good and honest farmer,
+a laborious mechanic, a rich merchant, or even a minister of the
+gospel, or any other character whatever.
+
+I am willing to own, that was a flaunting beau or a coxcomb, going to
+choose a partner for an afternoon or an evening, he would be likely to
+make choice of one that was set out in what they are pleased to call
+_complete bon ton_, that would please his fancy for just a moment to
+pass away an idle hour.
+
+But was a virtuous young man about to make choice of a partner through
+life; one with whom he expected to participate, not only in the
+pleasures, but also in the sorrows and afflictions of life; one to be
+his bosom companion and mistress of his family, and to travel with him
+thro’ all the chequered scenes of the thorny maze of this wilderness
+world; he would be likely to choose one who was studious in business,
+well acquainted with domestic concerns, of an unsullied character, with
+a soft and easy temper of mind and one to whom the cares of her family
+would be her chief delight.
+
+Such a companion as this would ever make home agreeable. And whether
+it should be their fortune to be rich or poor, every thing would go on
+harmoniously, and the domestic affairs would be attended to in season,
+and all things kept in proper order. And finally to conclude, we may
+join with the poet, and say, that
+
+ “This man while others roam,
+ Among the sons of strife;
+ Would be always happ’est when at home,
+ In converse with his wife.”

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
+Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
+contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
+or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
+intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
+other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
+cannot be read by your equipment.
+
+1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all

+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
+with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
+with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
+lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
+or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
+opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
+the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
+without further opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO

+the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
+or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
+additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
+Defect you cause.
+
+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
+U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
+Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
+to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
+and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
+widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<p>The following hints were originally designed
+for the benefit of a few individuals,
+for whom the author had a particular regard,
+and also felt himself under obligations
+to give them all that instruction which might
+be deemed necessary to guide them in the
+paths of virtue and morality, and to shun
+those vices which often ruin the female sex,
+and are too predominant in the world.</p>
+
+<p>But as all young people are in one predicament,
+and instructions that are suitable
+for one, may be equally applied to the
+whole; therefore, for the benefit of the
+present, and future rising generations, these
+few lines are made public.</p>
+
+<p>And although the Author would not blush
+to own this piece of work, yet, for certain
+reasons, his name is concealed.</p>

+<h2 class="nobreak" id="YOUNG"><small>TO</small><br>
+YOUNG FEMALES, &c.</h2>
+</div>
+
+
+<p>The most critical time of youth,
+especially of the female sex, is while
+they are in their juvenile years. At
+this age, when they are entering as
+it were upon the borders of life, to
+act in some degree for themselves,
+the greatest care and attention ought
+to be paid to them. And from the
+age of puberty, until they arrive to
+maturity, and are settled in the
+world, they ever ought to be considered
+as under the care and protecting
+eye of their parents, guardians,
+or masters.</p>
+
+<p>How can parents, guardians, or
+masters, feel as though they had<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_6"></a>[6]</span>
+discharged their duty towards their
+children, and those under their care,
+in this respect, when they see them,
+entering on the wheels of time, exposed
+to all the temptations of an
+alluring world, and scarcely or never
+give them one check or caution!</p>
+
+<p>And as it is to be feared that some
+parents, &c. are guilty of too much
+neglect on this hand, so others govern
+with too much restraint on the
+other. If you mean that your children
+should learn to govern themselves,
+you must learn it to them by
+experience; that is, by giving them
+a little lenity, together with your
+good counsel and advice, and according
+to their improvement, give them
+more and more, until they learn the
+art of self-government. But if you
+endeavor to keep them wholly under<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_7"></a>[7]</span>
+restraint, and never let them learn
+from experience the different manners
+and customs of people abroad; if
+they should happen to break out of
+your reach (as most likely they will,
+at certain times) they will (according
+to the vulgar expression) behave
+more like <em>hogs let out of the sty</em>; than
+like ladies; and not knowing the
+art of self government, they will be
+likely to break over all rules of decency
+and decorum.</p>
+
+<p>But although parents, &c. may
+pay the strictest attention to their
+children, &c. unless there is the
+greatest degree of caution and circumspection
+attended to, on the part
+of the children, it will avail but very
+little.</p>
+
+<p>Young people are apt to be insensible
+to the danger they are in,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_8"></a>[8]</span>
+until their name is stained with a
+blot that is very hard to wipe away.
+The wise man has justly observed,
+that “A good name is rather to be
+chosen than great riches, and loving
+favor rather than silver and gold.”</p>
+
+<p>The reputation of youth, a young
+maiden more especially, may be compared
+to china ware, or transparent
+glass, which is very easily broken,
+but impossible to mend, so but what
+it will leave a blemish behind.</p>
+
+<p>How often does the thoughtless
+youth, in some unguarded hour,
+fall into some trifling folly or other
+which stamps a blur upon their characters,
+and fills their minds with
+shame and remorse. And it is too
+frequently the case, that in order to
+prevent the evils of one piece of
+bad conduct, they run into another,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_9"></a>[9]</span>
+which only sinks them deeper and
+deeper. They then begin to give
+up all hopes of recovery, their minds
+become dissipated, and they give
+themselves over to all the vain delusions
+and allurements of time and
+sense. And as they travel on in the
+paths of folly, they become lost to
+all sense of virtue and morality,
+consequently happiness is fled, and
+they generally become slaves to misery
+and discontentment.</p>
+
+<p>Such a life as this would be thought
+scarcely worth possessing! yet how
+often do we behold those who appeared
+to be very promising when
+they first started in life, and presented
+to us the most pleasing prospects,
+land on these shores at last, and
+drag out a miserable life, with shame
+and ignominy: while on the other<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_10"></a>[10]</span>
+hand, it often happens, that those
+who make a small appearance, and
+are thought but a very little of,
+when they first set out in life; yet
+by attending to good instruction, and
+the strictest caution and prudence,
+they have arisen to honor and dignity
+in the world, and are loved and
+esteemed by all virtuous people.</p>
+
+<p>If these are facts, they show the
+importance of early attending to instruction.</p>
+
+<p>And that you, my young friend,
+blooming with virgin beauty, unsullied
+with vice, and unimpaired with
+age; that you may shun those pernicious
+practices that will lead you
+in shame and disgrace, and pursue
+those paths that will lead you to honor
+and dignity in the world, and
+gain you a name that is more valuable<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_11"></a>[11]</span>
+than silver or gold, I leave you
+the following</p>
+
+
+<h3>RULES.</h3>
+
+<p>1. Keep a due regard over all
+your thoughts, and see that they are
+intent upon the business in which
+you are employed, that you may pay
+a proper attention to the same.</p>
+
+<p>Nothing is more dangerous than
+an absent mind. It is rude to indulge
+the thoughts to rove upon indifferent
+objects, even when you are
+in company; but more especially
+when attending to your domestic
+concerns. If your thoughts are not
+mostly engaged in the business before
+you, time will steal away faster
+than you are aware of; night will
+come on before you are ready for it,
+many things must go undone that<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_12"></a>[12]</span>
+you ought to have attended to, and
+that which you have done will be
+apt to be slighted, or done to the
+halves; and you will thereby get to
+yourself rebukes and reproaches,
+which you might have easily prevented,
+and you will now begin to
+repent when it is too late to mend
+a bad day’s work.</p>
+
+<p>By indulging an absent mind,
+young people are apt to be deaf to
+all that is said to them, or at least, it
+does not make an abiding impression
+on their minds; by which means
+they are apt to do their work wrong,
+have it to undo, and do over again,
+and sometimes spoil it in the end;
+which will make them feel very
+much chagrined, and also it will fret,
+perplex, and weary the patience of
+those who employ them.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_13"></a>[13]</span></p>
+
+<p>All this might have been easily avoided
+by care and attention; and
+not only so, but you would improve
+in your business, and thereby make
+it become habitual and easy.</p>
+
+<p>You cannot expect to become
+master of any kind of business, without
+much care and attention; and
+this ought to make you more studious
+in the same, for remember, that
+there is no business that you will be
+likely to be called to attend to, now
+when young, but what (if you should
+ever have a family of your own) you
+must attend to the same for yourself,
+or at least, have it attended to;
+and therefore it is highly necessary
+that you should now become master
+of it.</p>
+
+<p>This is what ought to excite
+your mind now when young, that<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_14"></a>[14]</span>
+you may be well qualified to be mistress
+of your own family; and even
+if you should never have any family,
+this will do you no harm.</p>
+
+<p>2. Never flatter yourself that
+you know how the business should
+be done better than your teachers;
+therefore hear with patience their
+instructions, and always be submissive
+to their directions.</p>
+
+<p>Never contradict them in any sense
+whatever; but if you think that any
+other way, different from what they
+direct, would do better, you may inform
+them of it, but do it with the
+greatest modesty and circumspection;
+and if they comply with what
+you say, it is well, but if they do not,
+add no more, but obey as you were
+first directed.</p>
+
+<p>Always make the business of the<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_15"></a>[15]</span>
+day the first object, and then if you
+have any leisure hours, you may
+improve them to the best advantage
+and for your own profit and satisfaction.</p>
+
+<p>Never allow yourself to be peevish
+and fretful about your work,
+food, dress, or any thing of the like
+nature, even if the business does
+not go on to suit you; for this will
+only make the business more irksome
+and fatiguing, without any
+kind of benefit to yourself.</p>
+
+<p>3. Do not expect even from your
+best endeavors wholly to escape
+without censure. For the mind of
+youth is so fickle, it would be very
+strange if you did not sometimes go
+astray, and not do so well as you
+might; and if you do, you must expect
+reproof, and rebuke, and you<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_16"></a>[16]</span>
+ought to take it kindly, and endeavour
+to do better for the future.</p>
+
+<p>But even if you should always do
+your best, you must expect that you
+will sometimes do wrong, even for
+want of knowledge; and you cannot
+expect that people will always
+exercise that patience, so but what
+they will many times chide you,
+and find fault, even when you have
+done your best. All this you ought
+to bear with patience without a murmuring
+word: for if you are conscious
+to yourself that you have
+done as well as you could, even a
+sharp rebuke need not trouble you;
+for you may gain some knowledge by
+it, and therefore it may terminate for
+your own advantage. Besides, if
+you bear it with patience, and try to
+convince them by your future conduct<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_17"></a>[17]</span>
+that you used your best endeavors
+to have every thing done
+as it should be, this will have a tendency
+to convince them of their error,
+and cause them to exercise
+more patience for the future.</p>
+
+<p>Always pay a proper respect
+to your parents, guardians, or masters,
+and ever be submissive to their
+commands. Never try to aggravate
+them, even if they should find
+fault at trifles; that is, to treat the
+matter with a kind of indifferency,
+though you did not care to displease
+them; for this will only make
+them more fretful for the future.—
+But if you are sensible that you
+have done wrong, you ought to confess
+it, and endeavour to reform;
+but if you think you are not to blame
+let the whole matter pass in silence.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_18"></a>[18]</span></p>
+
+<p>4. You must not only pay the
+greatest attention to your domestic
+concerns, but a proper decorum in
+all your words and actions must be
+attended to. Your leisure hours
+should be employed in reading useful
+books, which will be most likely
+to furnish your mind with a store
+of religious and moral improvements.
+Read the characters of those ladies
+who have lived virtuous and pious
+lives, and endeavour to imitate their
+examples.</p>
+
+<p>And if you should ever happen
+to read the characters of any profligate
+women (not to call them ladies)
+endeavour to make only this use of
+their characters; that is, to shun
+their vices, avoid their pernicious
+practices, and thereby escape the
+miseries that attend them.</p>
+
+<p><span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_19"></a>[19]</span></p>
+
+<p>5. Endeavour to treat all persons
+with civility. Pay a proper respect
+to your superiors, complaisance to
+your equals and courteously treat
+those whom you shall deem to be
+your inferiors.</p>
+
+<p>Establish in your own mind a certain
+rule of decency and modesty,
+to be attended to in all companies,
+and at all times, whether at home or
+abroad.</p>
+
+<p>In all companies, give each one
+an opportunity for their proper
+share of conversation. Remember
+that a talkative, loquacious woman,
+a young woman more especially,
+often exposes her weakness,
+and sickens the ear with her babblings.
+“The torrent of her words
+overwhelmeth conversation.” Therefore
+every species of rudeness ought<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_20"></a>[20]</span>
+to be avoided as unbecoming your
+sex. Again, frequent and loud
+laughter doth not become any person,
+especially a woman, and a
+young woman more especially.—
+Therefore it ought to be avoided
+on all occasions as not belonging to
+the rules of decency, and as unbecoming
+the fair sex.</p>
+
+<p>6. The strictest attention must
+be paid to the conversation which
+you may occasionally have with the
+other sex. Be not forward in beginning
+a conversation with them;
+but be always ready to return all
+compliments that may be given to
+you with an easy address, and in
+a becoming manner, without being
+daunted or even put to the blush.</p>
+
+<p>In order to facilitate this business,
+endeavour to treasure up in your<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_21"></a>[21]</span>
+memory, those addresses and compliments,
+that by constant observation,
+you may hear drop from those
+whom you deem to be your superiors;
+and endeavor to make them
+familiar to yourself, so that you may
+be able to use them on any occasion,
+with propriety, & without the appearance
+of affectation or dissimulation.</p>
+
+<p>And as you would avoid a prudish
+disposition on the one hand, so
+you must equally avoid a volatile,
+idle, and wanton disposition on the
+other. To facilitate which, give
+yourself more to thinking and less
+to talking, so that when you do
+speak, you may always speak with
+decency, modesty, and propriety.
+Always mind to speak plain
+and distinctly, and loud enough to
+be understood, with a modest smile<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_22"></a>[22]</span>
+on your face, without a rude look in
+your countenance.</p>
+
+<p>But let your speeches be short and
+comprehensive; and never try to
+prolong a conversation, unless it be
+upon topics that are becoming your
+sex. But if the conversation should
+be disagreeable and unbecoming,
+endeavor to turn the attention to
+some other object, introduce some
+other topic, or else find an occasion
+of absence.</p>
+
+<p>7. Remember that the bloom of
+your youth, your healthy and ruddy
+countenances, the rose on your
+cheeks, and the sparkling vigor of
+your eyes, will gain you more admirers
+than real lovers. Here pause
+for a few moments and consider!
+for it is the most delicate point for
+you to steer through and your name<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_23"></a>[23]</span>
+and reputation to remain unsullied.</p>
+
+<p>How often doth the blooming and
+most promising youth, by one fatal
+misstep, stain their characters with
+ignominy, and blast their reputation
+forever.</p>
+
+<p>It is much easier to avoid temptation,
+than to resist the deceitful arts
+of the tempter.</p>
+
+<p>The deceitful heart of a fond
+admirer, out of a vain pretence
+of love and affection, will work upon
+every passion that wit can invent or
+lust suggest, in order to allure your
+affections, intrude upon your chastity,
+and win you over to their fond
+embraces, and carnal appetites.</p>
+
+<p>O heed not their flatteries, neither
+give way to their alluring and licentious
+persuasions! for when they
+have ruined you, their flatteries will<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_24"></a>[24]</span>
+be turned into contempt, and their
+pretended love into downright hatred.
+And in the end, they will even
+forsake you, without regard or pity.
+Therefore beware of sycophants!
+and be not deceived by their enticing
+words! Even if they reproach
+you to your face for your rigorous
+treatment, yet behind your back,
+they will applaud your constancy.</p>
+
+<p>Remember that the taste may be
+satiated with the sweetest fruit,
+where there is a full enjoyment;
+but let a person participate only by
+anticipation, and the nearer to enjoyment,
+the more valuable the prize
+will be.</p>
+
+<p>8. Learn to distinguish between
+true, genuine love, and mere fancy.
+He who truly loves or respects you,
+will not wish to have you violate<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_25"></a>[25]</span>
+your honor or chastity, neither will
+he violently intrude upon the same,
+although he may endeavour to prove
+your constancy.</p>
+
+<p>Therefore when you have reason
+to believe that any one sincerely respects
+you, and if you also wish to
+continue to be worthy of his esteem;
+remember that you cannot do any
+thing more against yourself than to
+give over your chastity, or go beyond
+rules of decency.</p>
+
+<p>But if you have reason to believe
+that any one’s pretended love is
+nothing more than mere fancy, which
+will generally shew itself by a vehement
+fondness; vows, promises, &c.
+learn to treat it with a silent neglect;
+for his utmost wishes will never
+promote your real happiness.</p>
+
+<p>9. Be not anxious to be admired<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_26"></a>[26]</span>
+by every one, but only be careful
+that the virtuous have no occasion
+to speak evil against you; to avoid
+which you have only to live a virtuous
+life.</p>
+
+<p>Keep a due regard over all your
+words and actions; not only when
+you are with those whom you esteem
+to be virtuous, but even if you
+should happen to fall in company
+with those of the baser sort.</p>
+
+<p>It hath been an old maxim, <em>that
+when we are with the Romans, we
+must do as the Romans do</em>. And the
+maxim may be a good one, so far as
+we can comply with it, and not break
+over the rules of decency and propriety;
+but no farther. For it is no
+rule, neither will it be any excuse for
+you, to be loose, vain, or lascivious,
+even if you should happen to fall in<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_27"></a>[27]</span>
+company with persons of this description.
+But the wiser method is,
+to avoid all such company; for the
+characters of persons are often judged
+by the company they keep. Therefore,
+if you would wish to avoid the reproaches
+of every one, you must not
+only abstain from vice yourself, but
+you must forsake the company of
+the vicious.</p>
+
+<p>10. Do not reveal your secrets to
+any one, unless it will be as much for
+their interest to keep, as it will be for
+yours to have them kept; and never
+reveal the secrets of others, when it
+will not injure you to keep them.</p>
+
+<p>Never make any promise that
+you do not mean to perform; and
+fulfil all your promises when you
+have once made them; unless you
+find that you were deceived when<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_28"></a>[28]</span>
+you made them, and therefore ought
+not to have promised.</p>
+
+<p>Never speak of the failings of another
+to a third person, but with the
+greatest reluctance, especially those
+of your own sex. If you can say no
+good of persons, you had better say
+nothing about them. For as you would
+not wish to have your own failings
+published to the world, so you must
+be exceeding careful not to publish
+the failings of others.</p>
+
+<p>But should you discover a failing
+in your friend, you may, and ought
+to remind him or her of it, between
+you and them alone, but do it with
+the greatest modesty. And if your
+friends should tell you of a fault,
+take it kindly of them and endeavor
+to reform.</p>
+
+<p>Never appear to slight the company<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_29"></a>[29]</span>
+of any one, while in their presence,
+even if it should be disagreeable;
+but rather endeavor to find some
+just occasion of absence, and avoid
+their company for the future.</p>
+
+<p>Treat every one with civility, but
+use no flattery nor dissimulation to
+any one; but let the words of your
+mouth be the sentiments of your heart.</p>
+
+<p>11. Do not try to outvie all others
+in dress, &c. but let your dress
+be modest, and suited to your circumstances.
+Remember that a real character
+doth not consist in the outward
+adornings of the body, but in the
+inward adornings of the mind and
+understanding.</p>
+
+<p>Although a fop, or a coxcomb,
+might be charmed at the sight of
+fine ribbons, and embroidered apparel;
+yet the man of understanding<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_30"></a>[30]</span>
+will look for the more refined beauties;
+the adornments of the mind.</p>
+
+<p>12. But however you may appear
+in company, and abroad, your real
+character for lasting reputation and
+future happiness in the world, must
+be formed and established at home;
+even in the kitchen, and in attending
+to your domestic concerns.</p>
+
+<p>Here is where you are to form
+your character, not only for happiness,
+but also for usefulness in the
+world. By attending to industry,
+cookery, and all the domestic employments,
+you will qualify yourself
+to become the mistress of a family;
+and not only so, but here you will
+prepare yourself to be a worthy companion
+for a good and honest farmer,
+a laborious mechanic, a rich merchant,
+or even a minister of the gospel,<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_31"></a>[31]</span>
+or any other character whatever.</p>
+
+<p>I am willing to own, that was a
+flaunting beau or a coxcomb, going
+to choose a partner for an afternoon
+or an evening, he would be likely to
+make choice of one that was set out
+in what they are pleased to call <em>complete
+bon ton</em>, that would please his
+fancy for just a moment to pass away
+an idle hour.</p>
+
+<p>But was a virtuous young man
+about to make choice of a partner
+through life; one with whom he expected
+to participate, not only in the
+pleasures, but also in the sorrows
+and afflictions of life; one to be his
+bosom companion and mistress of his
+family, and to travel with him thro’
+all the chequered scenes of the
+thorny maze of this wilderness world;
+he would be likely to choose one who<span class="pagenum"><a id="Page_32"></a>[32]</span>
+was studious in business, well acquainted
+with domestic concerns, of
+an unsullied character, with a soft
+and easy temper of mind and one to
+whom the cares of her family would
+be her chief delight.</p>
+
+<p>Such a companion as this would
+ever make home agreeable. And
+whether it should be their fortune to
+be rich or poor, every thing would
+go on harmoniously, and the domestic
+affairs would be attended to
+in season, and all things kept in
+proper order. And finally to conclude,
+we may join with the poet,
+and say, that</p>

+Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of

+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future

+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
+public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
+visit <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who

+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+</div>
+
+<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
+Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
