■We should be very glad to impress our brethren of the press with the very great* dangers that lie in wait for the multitude of young girls that are flocking to •our great cities, especially to St. iliouis, and notably at this time. The eountry press is a power for good, and if they keep this matter before the readers, constantly warning all of this open door to ruia, many might be saved who else wrre lost. The gateway to St. Louis, our great union depot, us beset by a thousand snares for unwary feet. Any young girl who oomes through the cpen gates into the midway, if possible, s snare will be spread in her path that sh- oanuot escape. No girl ahouid ojme here unless absolutely certain as to her oourse. The tempting advertisements are often mere bait for ignorance and innocence. Aud if she oomes to the ■city to enter the first carriage whose driver proposes to take her to a good cheap boarding house or to accept the first situa tion offered where “no experience is necessary,'’ she may as well bid adieu to iunooenoe and hope when she leaves her home. And as*a matter of oourse the man if almoat equally exposed as far ae moral or physioal safety is concerned. If the country pipers will only keep these things before their r-aders they will serve God and huaianity.—St. Louis Christian Advocate.
