ADVICE TO YOUNG LADIES'


The editress of the Literary Gazette,
Mrs. Lydia Jane Perason, in an article
addressed to young ladies, upon the SUBJ
ject of marriage discourses as follows:
DO not, as you value life and its com.
forts, marry a man who is naturally cru
ell. If he will wantonly torture poor
dumb dog, cat, or even snak, fy
from him as you would from the chole-
ra. We would sooner see our daughter
dying Of the cholera, than married to
cruel hearted man. If his nature de-
lights in torture. he will not spare his
wife, or his helpless children. When
we see a man practising cruelty on any
poor, helpless creature; or beating a
fractious horse numerically, we write
over against his name-devil, and shun
him accordingly.
we once knew man. ay, a gentle
man, who during ride for pleasure, be-
came so Economically enraged at his
horse, which refused to go, that he sprang
from his carriage, drew his knife, and
cut out an eye of the poor brute. The
tu,
fered long nervous illness, and will
never recover from the horror the out
rage gave her. And we knew the young
lady who, knowing this of him, was fool
hardy enough to become his wife. Ana
we know how he tortured her. How
he outraged all her feelings; how he de-
lighted to destroy whatever she priced,
or took pleasure in. How in his fits
of passion he broke up her furniture,
seized her by the shoulder ana shook her
Till she could not crawl to bed; how he
beat her; how he kept her poor babe
black and blue with blows and pinches.
until her parents took her home, and shell
tered her from his cruelty.
IF you have a suitor whom you feel
inclined to favor. look narrowly into the
temper and disposition of the man.
Love may soften it for a while, or it
may induce him to restrain, or disguise
it, but. be assured the natural temper
will remain, and the time will come
when your presence will be no restraint
upon him. We have heard wives COM
plain, Il was so deceived in my husband;
men are so deceitful, &C. But we be-
lieve in nine cases out of ten these wo-
men deceived themselves. They suffer
the romance of their own foolish heart
to adorn their lover with all the excel
lencies which their fancy attributed to
a perfect manly character, and to draw
veil over all his vices and defects, which
if 1t did not conceal them, greatly soft
ened or disguised their features.
Men are not perfect-women are not
perfect. In all cases, there must exist
necessity to bear and forbear, but it does
not therefore follow that you should
marry bad man. If you do so, you
deserve chastisment: but life long mise
ry is terrible punishment. A bad mans
wife must either live in a continual tor
ment of fear, apprehension, and the
bitter disappointment of her fruitless ef-
forts TO please; or she must become cal
lous. cold, insensible to pain, and con-
sequcntly to pleasure. Will you take
upon yourselves either of these bitter
alternatives We hope not
NOVELTY OF BLoOMERIsM-NO
Why, the Bloomer dress is as old as the
hills; worn out, rejected vulgarity in
the very country where first it was '.in-
vented" We speak by the book, when
we assert that wherever civilization has
penetrated, the European dress has at
tanned an immediate .ascendancy. The
ted, the respectable, and even those
who merely pretended to be respectable,
adopt it i'll every community, where
barbarism is not actually rampant; a
sense of its fitness and propriety has
penetrated to the remotest corners of the
world, and will outlast this foolish effort
at barbaric Yankee Blade

United States; ii is in Webster, Mass.
