mnnity worthy Of q lm'ra pn, il is the
warm gush Of ycu,h(Sklo lovs, as II flows
pure from tho heart, unstsiacd by 4te
knowls !ee Of tho world, anil FREQ from
The taint of hypocrisy which it so soon
acquires after having left the fountaln.
But ] doubt the love OF sty man who
would take the woman Of his choice
from the bosom of u owing family, AMI
'rn'' her happiness or comfort 10 the
chance OF success. Miracles do moi
happen in our days, anl a,c man ,ha,
thinks he can support family by trus.
ting toprovidence, will Gnl himself as
much mistaken as If he use same means
10 pay nole ih was due IN the Bank.
1t is true, that he Christians bread
and water is sure, hut few in these lays
OF refinement AMI luxury care about Iiv.
ing or: such lIomely fare, nor do be.
lieve that it is as snitablcto make siii.
ling wives as something more agreeable
TO the palate.
No doubt many ofmy fair readers, with
po"iins lip and flashing eye. will say:
what munster. 10 compare love IN
means lsupp'r; | couI live in cot.
tage on crust, with pure affection to
season il w.t." Writ gentle reader;
you have not seen as much of this poor
love as | have. You remember Ellen
H., that marie the poor minister, or
Mary l.. tina, married. the young prom.
is NJ lawyer lon't you? Well ii is some
years now since they were marie |, and
ask them how many hours of welle.l Joy
thy have 10 |, or how much nearer The
goal of anticipate bliss than they were
ten years ago! But few suppose will
believe me, an thus ! will have all my

have at East warnc them Of the rock
upon which have seen SO much hap.

Of the trip. How few know the amount

Tnis was The resul, of the co ,i,aions

Young physician that hal lately settle

it woul benefit by taking to himself n
wife, on account of the influence the
connexions Of wife waul bring him.
The doctor ha dis diploma, an the in

patients sen, for him when they were sick
not for his wife or her relations: an his
wife woul fin | it difficult, if not impos
sible, to live upon the small practice of
her husbanl and tha, TO be the wife OF
starving professional man was a po,r
compensation for the sacrifice Of fash
ionable home. How mistaken a notion

With professional mon it is different

which accounts for the success often at

But in mercantile an mechanical 81
