LOVE AND THE WOMAN.
A Patent sermon.

Love the womsn---if not spoiIt in the ma

does MT nave the real lave Of the woman IN

every species Of meanness his birth was i
blander aud he ought to be kicked out Of
creation by I'D maids. and hen compelled to

to calico as readily as au lrishman toa pick,
or i. duck to water.
Take httla good advice. Mind now

goods and whal9bone, aud has mere cotton

moths. They keep their ends o the cvener
w to the scratch Their house is clean aod
well ordered, their victuals we'll cooked, mus.
baads clothes mended children washed aud
spanked and babies taken care Of. They
spin more yara ia the house than in the street
and never carry their wealth, like snail, ON
their backs. they never leave their own
work undone at home to prs into othes reo
pie business They do not Withhold the sym
pathies If our commoU humanity from an err
ring sister, and at the same time pet the he
devil who caused her to err. they do not
desyse that labor viii b is she iouudaiIou OF

corner, set the arm chair or give an arm for
them to lean upon. They are not afraid Of
dishwater or dough. They car be the lady
il the pallor, or the accomplished housewife in
the kitchen.
Such are the pretty wonan-itis good for
man to 90 sucks with sucb. Single them out
from the counter,eits. avoid he'll upoa Garth,
and prosper 10 all things. Love such and
never give them cause 10 regret the part

deserve broomsticks AND sour Tread in life

who are made up of full pattern, and 50 shall
