WHEN, AND WHOM is 1T SAFE TO MARRY?
1. Young ladies ought not to marry at
Is or Is or II, they are too young-know
nothing about housekeeping and providing
for family, &c.
2. They ought not to marry until they
have got the consent Of their minds to give
up tight lacing-because the married state
should be free from bondage and opprss-
SION and compression, &c.
8. A young lady should not marry until
she had got the consent of her mind to o.
hey her husband. Because if she cannot,
and will not obey her husband, she does
not love him-obedience is the strongest
evidence of love. These are the times
when young ladies' ought not to marry
Now say,
1. They ought not to marry d ysnng
man who when he comes to address them
can stay a week or two-such an one will
be more likly to love the fire and the house
too well-will not go to the bGrn-and the
nesO ground, the corn.Geld, &c. often @
nough.
2. Never marry man without some
occupation by which he could support
family. He will be apt TO need the pro-
ceeds Of such occupation, when the trade
must be learned. Say, you marry him,
he must be DR.. not Quack-a lawyer
not petit ogger-a merchant, onhis own
lcapital, NOT a borrowed ons--a shoemaker,
, not cobler; haze the thing itsel ia far
mer, or mechanic OF some order, if he be,
bGsket-maker, have the profitable OccH-
patton in the bargain, don't marry without
il.
8. Never marry young man who wears
fine clothes, and swears profanely-be-
+ cause if he will not treat his Makers laws
with reverence, he is very unapt to treat
you with kindness and respect-moreover
he who swears will lie, and Of all charac-
ters a liar is to be detested and avoided
and not chosen as companion.
A.. A young lady should not marry a
young man who is in the habit of gamb-
: ling, attending h0rse-races and theatres
e because he will, ten to one, spend every
cent Of his, and his wife's estate, and bring
:. her at last to beggary. Reformed gamblers
:, are not safe, would advise no young lady
;, to marry one at least under ten years re-
n formation.
a $. A young lady will be very unsafe in
q marrying young man who uses ardent
;. spirits either temporarily or incorporate
:. ly-because more women have been rem
:, dered wretched on account of drunken
y husbands than any one thing else. Don't
= marry a reformed drunkard, as man
= hardly ever gets clear Of this awful disease.
:. If YOU want to be miserable-if you want
;, babblings-if you want wounds without
" causc-a husband with red eyes, &c. mar
nv n man who drinks, sChO takes q Atfie,
!; and you are more likely to have the above
" enioyments than in marrying any other
:, character. II q man can't give up ms
}, dram. he can sacrifice tho happiness, OF
property Ofany woman, by taking niue
r But methinks hear some one say by thiS
, time" where arc young ladies to get
husbands? You lop so close you leave Us
none 7" o yes-look for them in the hon
est. yirtuous walks of life. Don't marry
profane swcarer-a gambler-an inlidel-
one who takes a Httle-a debaucher--a
& man without an occupation--you mao Def
. tor die 40 0ld maid than marry eiiher.-
D Young ladies' remember tuns J""s sS1S
: salvation is involved IN your marriage
then look to God for direction. LUTHsE.
