Advertising for a Wife.

In this issue. and in the last can be
seen an advertisement for a wife. A
correspondent whom We greatly respect,
10 another column warns young ladies
of the danger Of answering any such ad-
verlisements; and is Of the opinion that
they are dangerous.
So far as we are concerned. we pub.
lished the one in question, for the same
reason that We publish any advertise
meni, viz: because we are paia for it,
Ii we thought as does our correspondent.
we would not publish it on any conside
ration; but we Go not quite agree with
him. 1t is true that the mans motive
IN advertising, nay be bad; but ii may
also be good; and We cannot fathom the
thoughts and inteuts of any mans heart.
and be convinced they ale evil, without
some better clue than his simple confes-
sion that he wants a wife.
We thiRk that The doubt implied by
the advertiser, when he says, III hele
are any such on tie Reserve" is in ex-
tremely bad taste, to say the least, and
it is very strong presumplive evidence
that the writer, whoever he may be, has
been in bad company, or he could never
have thrown out such a wholesale slur
upon So large a body Of women, among
whom may be his own mother or sister.
notwithstanding This, as we said before,
the man may really want a good wife,
and if SO. we hope he may get one.
But if otherwise, and has intentions
are such as our correspondent intimates,
he is a base scounGrel. and re only wish
he may fall into the hands of some young
ladies We wot of. If he does, we would
Mt stand in his boots for the price Of
two advertise Dents.

For the Chronicle.
A Man in a pickle"
NesSrs. Eduors:-

MessrS. Ediors:-
l noticed in the Chronicle of yester-
day, an advertisement signed "a PART.
NER FOR LIFE" in which some one pro.
fesses to want "a good nice wJs, thai
can make home happy, and that he could
love and respect-if there are any sucl
on the Reserve"
1t is said in the AdUocae d. Guardian
of Jan. /, 1857, page 6, chat the daily
papers have of late teemed with detail.
of the successful practice of fraud and
deception. by a DR.. Lyon, who had ad.
vertised for a wife. governess, house.
keeper, &c. His plans have been SC
adroitly executed as 10 deceive and en-.
snare several well meaning, but credu.
lous and imprudeRt young women. who
have each learned their error BY finding
that they shared the attentions of thi:
arch deceiver in common with numerous
others; with some of whom, their small
patrimony, to which lie had managed &c
get access, was being unscrupulously
shared. And facts seem TO prove thai
there are men prowling about our cities,
with principles quite as loose as those Of
the citizens of Utah; and parents and
teachers should understand the impor
lance of warning their children and pu
pills against their Devices"
Another Eastern print mentions the
ruin of six girls attending the Boston
school; and the many advertisements in
viting young women to correspond with
a young man of Every correct morals,
and high sense Of honor" Sometime:
he wishes TO marry, at others, for mutu
al Improvement" sometimes the same
man will have several correspondents,
with no dread Of the extension of polyg-
amy"
II is easy TO see that such correspon.
Gence must at once lead TO The entire
loss OF all maiden delicaey, and not un-
likely 10 a Joss of virtue and speedy ru
in.
Aud now for the "good nice WIFE
that is, if there are any ladies on the
Reserve who feel that they can be al
that a nameless stranger, virtuOus or vi
cious. may desire.
The very expression, eff there are
any," reflects a stigma upon female dig
nifty, which is thrown back, like a fiery
dart, upon his own head. IF there are
any," Mark how he doubts it, and why
should he not, if he is under the direful
necessity of throwing himself into the
great market of the Connecticut Western
Reserve.
He hopes ''they will not be afraid"
Yes-In the day ye eat thereof, your
eyes shall be opened-Gcnesis, Ills.
But fig leaves may never grow broad
enough to cover the reproach.
Yours, &c. C. S.
