The Pioneer and woman's advocate. (Providence, R.I.) 1852-185?, 1852-10-09

ESGu n A1 SOOxA4xs
I'VE earnestly advise all our young
friends to court the society of the ladies.
1t would be heard to find surer protec-
tion from temptation to evil"
The above advice is good, and we
join in its recommendation.
But how happens it that when such
a natural inclinati ton is to be found in
the heart of most young men,-a cery
few exceptions,-to visit the other sex,
that such advice could ever be thought
necessary by the editor of the City Items.
He perhaps, may have been SO situated
in his young days, that he had not the
opportunity of availing himself of the
advantage ever attending an early as
sociation with female society, and ,chen
the opportunity occurred, he might have
been so sensitive from one, among many
common causes, that he was indisposed
to make the effort. and from his own ex.
perience, bestows the above advice up
on the young men of the present time.
That such supposition is correct cannot
be stated, as the name of the editor is
not known to US. Be this as it may,
he we'll knows that many young man,
Kindred by some one Of the many OBJ
structing causes, has waited so long that
he feels too awkward to undergo the
trying ordeal of making acquaintance
among the young women, and so post
poned the day until he finds himself
sliding gradually out of the years be-
longing to the young. man,-35-into
those Of middle life He then, perhaps,
calls himself and old bachelor, and, un-
repiningly as possible settles down as
one of that class for life. Some are ad-
mitted to be voluntary single men, more,
hover, are so involuntarily; and if in a
confidential moment the question why
they are not married is put to them,
amid variety Of reasons which might
be given, it is apprehended that a very
common one would stand prominent,
one that has deferred, and nov deters
many a man from putting himself into
the way of becoming sufficiently ac-
quainted with the good qualities Of a
young woman, to be able to decide as
to making her an offer Of his heart and
hand. Many readers will need no
further insight, but for the information
of others it will be stated that it is the
too common practise of reporting an en-
gagement as subsisting between two
persons who have in reality met so few
times that they are not able to say
whether they would wish to be so.-
The report, perhaps, startles both par.
ties, and leads to change from more
free to constrained manner, mutually
misunderstood, and ending, perhaps, in
the cessation of visits hitherto agreea-
bic. Will not many young friends say
the Pioneer tells true story; and add
they wish the hint. so kindly intended,
may be taken by some one Of their as
sociates, whom they think the coat
would fit as we'll as if he or she had
been measured for it?
