MISCELLA AN EOUS.
YES. GET MARRIED
ADVICE BY DOW, JR.


Young man! if you have arrived at the right
point in life for it, let every other consideration
give way to that of getting married. Don't think
of doing any thing else. Keep pokng about
among the rubbish of the world till you have
stirred up gem worth possessing, in the shape
of wife. Never think Of delaying the matter;
for you know that delays are dangerous. A good
wife is the most constant and faithful companion
you can possibly have by your side, while per-
forming The journey of life-a dog isn't touch
TO her. She is of more service, too, than you
may at first imagine. She can 'smooth your H.
men and your cares" for you mend your trou-
sers, and perchance your manners-sweeten your
suul momens as we'll as your tea and coffee for
you-ruffle, perhaps, your shirt bosom, but not
your temper; and, instead of sowing the seeds of
sorrow in your path, she will sew buttons on your
shirts, and plant happiness instead of harrow
teeth in your bosom Yes.-a if you are too
confoundedly lazy or too proud TO do such work
YOURSELF she will chop wood, and dig potatoes
for dinner: for her love for her husband is such
that she will do any thing to please him-ex-
cept receive company in her every day clothes.
When a woman loves, she loves with double
distilled devotedness; and when she hates, she
hates on the high pressure principle. Her love
is as deep as the ocean, as strong as a hempen
halter, and as immutabe as the rock of ages
She won't change it, except it is ina very strong
fit ofjealousy; and even then it fingers as if 10th
to part, like evening twlights at the windows Of
the west. Get married by all means. All the
excuse you can fish up against "doing the deed'
amt worth a spoonful of pigeons milk. Mark
this if blest with health and employment, you
are not able TO support a wife, depend upon il
you are not capable TO support yourself There,
fore, so much more the need of annexation; for
i'll union, as we'll as an onion, there is strength
IGet married, repeat, young man! Concentrate
your affections upon one object, and not dstr
butte them crumb by crumb, among host of Su
sans, Slrals, Marys, Loranas, Olives EIzas, Au
gustas, Betsies, Peggies, and Dorothies-allow
Ing each scarcely enough to nibbIe at. Get mar
ried, and have somebody to cheer you as you
Tourney though this "owIy vale eoftears"-some
body to scour up your whole life, and whatever
linen you possess, in some sort of Sunday-go-to
meeting order.
Young woman! need not tell you to look ou
for your husband, for know that YOU are fixing
cOntrivanCes to catch one, and are as naturally
on the watch as cat is for mouse. But one
word in your ear, if you please. Don't bait you
: hook with an artificial fly of beauty; if you do
the chances are ten TO one that you will catch
gudgeon-some silly fool of fish that ism
} worth his weight in saw dust. Array the inne
; lady with the beautiful garments of virtue, mo
desty, truth, morality, and unsophisticated love
4 and you will dispose of Yourself quicker, and t,
D much better advant ge than you would if yor
: spayed all the gew-gaws, ,hippe-jigs, fol-derol
! and iddled-de-dees in the universe. Remembe
: that it is an awful thing to live and die sell
manufactured old maid.
f My bearers--get married while you are young
and then when the frosts of age shall fall an,
: wither the flowers of affection, the leaves of con
e nubiaI love will still be green, and, perchance,
g Joyous offspring will surround and grace the pa
n rent tree, like ivy twining and adorning the time
Y scathed oak.
