Young man! if you have arrived at
:. .,sh, point in life for II, lei every other
,,..siieration give way to that, Of getting
;narried. Don't think Of doing any thing
else. Keep poking about among the rub
.isb of the world ill you have stirred up a
pem worth possessing, in the shape OF a
wife. Never lhiuk Of delaying the matter;
for YOU know that delays are dangerous;
A good wife is the mos, constant aud
faithful companion you can possibly have
by your side, while performing The journey
Of ife--a dog isn't touch 10 her. She
is of more service, too, Than you may at
frs, imagine. She can smooth your linen
and your cares for you-mend your trow-
sers, and perchance your manners-sweet-
en- your sour moments as well as your lea
and coffee for you-rutlle, perhaps your
shir, bosom, but not your temper-and in
stead of sewing the seeds ofsorro ~ in your
path, SIZE will sow buttons on your shirts,
and plan, happiness instead of harrow
teeth in your bosom. Yes-and if you are
TOO confounded lazy or too proud to 40
such work yourself, she will chop wood,
and die potatoes for dinner; for her love for
her husband is such that she will do any
hing 10 please bim-except receive COM
oauY m,'n her every day clolhes.-
When woman loves, she loves with
double distilled devoiedness aud when
she hates, she hates on The high pres
sure principle. Her love is as deep as the
ocean, as strong as hempen halter, and
as immutable as The rock Of ages. She
won't change it; except il is in very
strong Git Of jealousy and even then II lin
gers, as if 10th TO tpart like evening ,wi'
light at the windows of the west. Get
married by all means: All The excuses
YOU can fish up against doing the deed
amt worth a spoonful full Of pigeons
milk. Mark lhis--if blest with health and
employment. you are not able To suppor, a
wife, depend upon ii you are not capable
disappearing yourself. Therefore, so much
the more need Of annexation; for, in un-
ion, as we'll as in an onion, There is strength.
Get married, T. repeat, young men! Con.
centrate your affections upon one object.
and not distribute them crumb by crumb,
among host Of Susans, Sarahs, Marys,
Loranas, Olivias, Elizas, Augustus, Bet
sizes, Peggies,aud Dorothies-allowing each
scarcely enough to ni5ble at. Get mar
ried, and have somebody to cheer you as
you journey through this 'lowly vale of
lears'-somebody TO scour up your dull
melancholy movements, aud keep your
whole life, and whatever linen you possess.

Young woman ] need not tell you TO
look out !ot your husband, for know you
are fixing contrwauces to catch one, and
are as naturally on the watch as cat is

If sou please. Don't bait your hook with
an artificial fly of beauty; if you do the
changes are ten to one that you will catch
gudgeou--some silly fool of a fish that
isn't worth his weight in sawdust. Array
the inner lady wishthe beautiful garments
Of virtue, ,modesty, truth, morality, wis
dom, and unsophistica,ed love, and you
will dispose of yourself quicker. and to
much better advantage than you would if
you displayed all The gewgaws, fipperiugs,
