ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES.

hDNlCE ~ 1OONu LADIES.
Always have as large a number of beauS
around you as possible. Play one off agains
another, yet manage to make each one believ,
that you are dcvoiedly attached to him. An
.gltrs always catch more fish with three hook,
than one.
If a suitor abandons you, swear that you
discarded him. Say that he was fool an,
You could not endure him, or rogue, anC
your father refused him. Say nothing but
the ruth-and swear to everything you say
and your family and friends will also swear ic
it as a matter OF course. 1t is wicked to lie
but then young ady's prospects are injured
by having it rumorcd aboad that she is re-
jecie one.
AT eighteen, If you are pretty, you may look
for husband in It higher rank than your own.
At twenty, marry an equal; at thirty an infe-
rior, if you are sure good bed and board,
at thirty-ive, any body you can get.
Never allow your affections 10 be engaged.
1t is very vulgar to fall in love; besides it is
apt to annoy one, and take away the appetite,
aud wrinkle the face. Time was, when people
married from pure devotion. Matches were
made in heaven then, hot heaven dropped the
business long ago-there was so much grum-
bnng Afterwards. None but boarding school
girls do such ioolishly romantic things now,
aud they, poor creatures, suffer dreadlully for
their lndiscretion.
II there is any danger your being an old
maui go and loln church, or benevolent
society at once. The temperance societies
VIII do very well now, that is II you have no
chew flag root. Whatever you do in this; do
y zeaonsiy. 10 lnto the benevolent opera
IONS WIN perfect rush-ii you pitch on
cnurchIbe very attentive to the pastor, but
hfst hnd out whether ne Is single
your ioVer uies, make iona lamentalon,
anu swear you WIN De IN mourning all your
ia - lie melancholy and distracted; inquire
the regulations Of convents-whelher they are
suiiicIenty secluded and severe for one who
desires TO bury herself from the world. OF
course you will make the inquiry of the poor
devil you wish to catch. Men are frequently
trapped in this manner ! have known seve-
raj disconsnlate and broken hearted girls, TO
get hne husbands by Judcious play on the
sympathles OF masculine fools.
young widows chances are often times
better than maids. The latter is unex-
peuenced, but the former has been through
the mil, as the sailors say--she knows evey |
rope and when 10 pull. Widows should be
cautious however, Tor men are beginning to |
light shy.
When you have got man to the sticking
point, that is when he proposes, don't turn
away your head, or affect To blush, or refer
him to Pa, or ask for more time; all those tricks
are understood now, but just look him right
~ the face, give him hearty smack, and Tell
him to go and order the furniture.
