The most unfortunate position in which a
poor sutton for rich young lady's hand can
be placed. is when her father happens 10 be
a successful member of The young mans OWL
profession. The wealthy lawyer, physician

are just entering upon the pursuit by which
he has made his wealth, that he scans their
pretensons and characters with a most care
iul and critic eye. No mere hope is entered
by such father as cash in the account; and
no expectations are credited as actual CAPT
tai. The young merchant may pass fol
more than he is worth with any body but the
merchant; and the young doctor or lawyer
may be ra.ed above his professional value by
any body but The veteran in his own line Of
life.
