bring upon yourself the hatred of those
whom you look down upon, and contempt
of those whose society you affect
Is it not the extreme of folly to sacrifice
independence, self respect, and home COM
fort that you may be called on by fashion
ably dressed persons, and by such recog-
nlzed in the street, when by this course you
forfeit the respect of every sensible person.
1t is really distressing to see care worn
man toiling all day and deep into the night,
that his wife and daughters may be fash
onably attired and live in genteel idleness
This kind of conjugal happiness is confn-
ed exclusively to cities and little upstart
villages. In the country, people live ra-
tionally. When girl becomes wife, she
expects to keep her husbands home and
assist in getting living. And country
people are in no haste to have their girls
married, because they are the beauty, the
sunshine of their home, and valuable assis-
tance in all the labors of life Now boys |
am going to say do not marry out of your
sphere or class. Glasses do not make peo-
pie though they form habits Ifyou know
an agreeable and amiable girl, who is will
ling to take you for what you are, and ac-
commodate herself to such mode of life as
your income warrants, take her and be
happy; but beware how you deceive. If
you WOO her under false colors, if you per-
NIT her to deem you what you are not, and
promise what you are not able to perform,
and so win her deceitfully, YOU richly de-
serve all the miseries that follow When
you see your wife disappointed and weep
ing, when you hear her complaints and up
braidiugs, and feel that she despises you
as a vile deceiver, what can you reply? A
woman will forgive man almost every sin
but deception. n deceiver she can neither
honor, trust nor love. Therefore use no
concealment. If young lady refuse to
marry YOU on account of your pecuniary
circumstances, let her go; she does not love
you. Surely you would not deceive such a
one into becomming your wife? If you do
live miserably, or drudge yourself to death
to maintain the appearance of her accus-
toned rank, why YOU are poor poltroon,
slave, very fool and it is your own
fault.
Never marry girl who is ashamed to be
seen engaged in any useful and suitable en-
ployment. Flee from the girl who sits
toying in the parlor while her mother
drudGes in the kitchen, as you would from
the leprosy. She has neither heart nor
soul. She will never care how hard YOU
toll to support her selfish idleness. Once
more, | conjure You, if you must make
your own fortune by mental or mutual Ia
Dor, seek wife who will assist you by
cheerful labor; her gentle sympathy and
judicious advice. If you cannot find such
an one. live an old bachelor and be as sour
and surly as you please Better so than
be burdened with proud, silly and unrea-
sonable wife, and children of her traininr.
So says a woman

YOUNG MEN.
AN ESSAY DELIVERED BEFORE TIE INDIANA
POLLS LYCECM.

POLLS LYCECM.
There has been much said TO us of late
about the young men, telling them what
their duties were, and exhorting them to
faithfully discharge the same; but as the
majority of us belong to that class, and as
there is no danger ofour knowing our duties
too well, or of our discharging them too
faithfully, l trust you will excuse me for
attempting to interest you farther upon the
same subject. We have beer cited to the
great and good men Of other days, who
have risen high in the scale of human ele-
vation, and won for themselves names that
generations vet to come will honor even
more than we, some of whom were raised
almost from beggary to the highest honors
within the gift of mortal man; others have
left no valuable productions of their giant
intellects; that although they have worked
almost a revolution, they have not finished
their work, but continue to brighten with
age, and, with the assistance of modern in
genuity. are prosecuting their work with
success. There are others inspired by a
love for their country, for humanity, and
for freedom, to resist tyranny and oppres-
sion, and through their good judgment and
firm determination, assisted by just and
true God. have not only made us free and
independent, but the most enterprising, re-
fined and happy people upon the face of the
globe. And as an evidence that our great
men are not confined to the highly favored
of fortune only, history tells us that a ma
jority of our great men have been raised
from humble stations in life, but who had
true merit and, thanks to the great ruler of
our universe, true merit is vet appreciated
by our people. Riches, for a time, may
command influence, but it is but momenta-
~, and soon vanishes. for persons reared
in the lap of luxury seldom do honor to
themselves or good to their country They
come among us as the gay butterfly, but
the days are few until they are numbered
among the things that were. Their tene-
mcnts of clay ale then like the street beg
