No woman will be likely to dispute US,
when we assert that marriage is her destiny.
A man may possible fill up some sort of an
existance without loving; but woman with
nothing 10 love, cherish, care for, and min.
lister TO, is an anomaly in the uniVerse-an
existance without an object. tits as natural
Tor woman 10 have some one to cling to for
protection-some one to look up to for advice
and assistance, az to breathe. Without it
no woman ever was or ever can be happy.
1t is the grand want Of her nature, and no.
thing can satisfy her heart with such a void
untitled.
Now, with the excepting Of some occa.
sional Irregularities in the relative proper
items of the sexes, produced by circumstan-
ces, such az the settlement Of new countries,
there is no reason why every man should not
have a wife, g. every woman have husband /;
and this would be easily brought about by the
exercise Of more common sense, and less
ambition. Each sex ID looking up for some-
thing above its own sphere. The son Of an
industrious and successful mechanic must
be professional man or merchant, instead
of following in his fathers footsteps-and
this is folly the FIRST. When he looks round
for a wife, the neat, industrious daughter
of q mechanic like his father, is not good
enough for him; he must make love to some
6ne lady, who il one generation in advance !:
that is, her grandfather was a mechanic, in-
stead of her father-a very aristocTatic dis
tinclion. On the other hand, the girl who
works for her living, earning it BY her honest
labors, would not deign to encourage the
addresses Of a laboring man; she must sci
her cap for a gentleman, foFsooth! The
mechanics daughter, educated upon bel
fathers hard earnings, to be enc lady, en-,
courages the attentions Of a set of fops and
ldangloTs, who drive sensible and honest mel
away from her in disgust, and SIZE becomes
the victim Of some sorry. sharper or shallow
fool.
Now this is all wrong -depIoFably, wretch
edly wrong. Girls should know that men
superior to themselves in education and pc
: siiion, do not associate with them for an,
good. Men should know that BY marrying
girls educated In habits of life above thei
j. fortunes, they are not likely to have goo,
: wives.
