A,sad oaper says: This 10 subject which
.,ways important, 10 becoming pecuiiafly %,
.rd we design to call the sstsution Of the
Young people occasionally, in hope ef ares
ting at, alarming and destructive evil
aYoune ladies are bound to fall in love 40
coon as'possible, and bound to be bound TO
partner fot life, - soon - the necessary pre-
i;m;n.,;e. can be made-.such ss getting
lover, Fascinating him thoroughly, being
cour,ed,. having the question popped, getting
tho wedding garments in array, and inviting
friend, to see them prettily married. The
vounp man Is bound to be gallant and polite,
and admire without stint all the pretty young
sirls known and unknown, to doH the beaver,
offer his arm, invite to ride, pleasant saunte'
in short, to all and sundries, indeedto show
his devotion and gallantry towards the sex,
until some enchan,ress throws her spell a.
round him, and he sinks, subdued, into COM
mon place, Indifferent careless Benedict
aNow ont Of these things grow difficulties
A young man admires pretty girl, and ' must
manifest it; he cannot help so doing tor the
life Of him. The young lady has tender
heart, reaching out like vine tendrils Tor
something to cling to she sees the admira'
,ion, is flattered, begins soon to love, expects
some tender avowal, and perhaps gets so lar
"a TO decide tha, she will choose white sa-
tin under thin gauze, at the very moment
the eallan, that she loves, is popping the
Question (cood ah /! ah y to another damsel
ten miles off. Now the difficulty lies in not
precisely understanding the difference be-
tween polite attentions and the tender mani
festation of sighing and love. Admiring a
beautiful girl, and wishing 10 make wife Of
her, are not always the same; therefore, ii
is necessary that a girl should be on the
aler, 10 discover to which class the attentions
paid her by handsome and fashionable
young gentleman belong. Is is hard 10 draw
the exact line of separation between polite
attentions and downright courting, but ouI
great age and extensive appearance have en-
abled us 10 observe enough to aid the young
and artless in deciding the matter.
"First then-If a young fellow greets yor
in loud, free, hearty voice-if he knows
precisely were to put his hat, or his hands, j
he s,ares you straight in the eye with hi
own wide open-if he turns his back to speal
to another-if he tells you who made his Goa
if he squeezes your hand-if ne fails to b
very foolish in fifty ways every hour, the'
don't fall in love with him for the world h
only admires you, let him say or do what h
will. But if he be merry with every on
else, but quiet with you-if he be anxion
to see that your tea is sweetened, and you
dear person wrapped up when you 60 out in
to the cold; if he talks very low and neve
looks you in the eye-if his cheeks are re-
or if he be pale, and his nose blush, it
enough; if he romps with your sister, sigh
like a pair Of bellows, looks solemn whel
addressed by another gentleman, and in fac
is the most still, awkward, stupid, yet an
xious of your male friends, you may go ahea
and invoke the shaft of Cupid with perfsc
safety, and make the poor fellow too happ
for his skin 10 hold him."
