Marrying Advice to Young La
'r -'1 dies,

--1t dies,
When I sec man miser--a lover Of
gold more than God-sacrif fcing integrity
itself to mistaken interest, guess that man
is seeking happidess where it is not to be
found, and that he would be miserable pp.
der any circumstances. Ladies, do not
marry miser; he will deny you not only
the comforts, but the necessaries Of life,
and make you poor in the midst of plenty.
He will not only destroy your peace Of
mind by eternally talking of anticipated
evils, but he will stint and starve you until
your body shall become as lean as your
soul.
When see a man lover of idleness
more than of industry, sacrificing even his
interests to Incidence, guess that man
will soon learn want, Ladies, do not
marry lazy man for he who is devoid of
energy must be devoid of proper feelings,
and will not be stimulated by affection to
discharge his duty to his family. Holy
Writ informs US that he who will not pro-
vide for his own household is worse than
an infdel, and hath denied the faith.
When.I see a man lover Of whskey
more than Of water, wasting his health in
---nsvu ways, savrffving his health, r,,rru-
tation, and peace of mind to q beastly
appetite, guess that man will soon drai
the cup Of his misery to the very dregs, and
tha. he is not long for this world. Ladies',
do not marry drunkard; of all characters
he is the most to be dreaded and avoided,
for drunkennessis the school of every other
vice, and the high road to ruin. .'.
! When I see man q lover Of self more
than of society, engrossing, while in COM
pany, the whole conversation to himself
sacrificing every principle of politenoss to
dictatorial disposition--I guess that that
man, few as he admire will find still fewer
to admire him, and none to place as high
an estimation upon him as he puts upon
himself. Ladies, do not marry proud,
conceited, talking spark" he is too much
in love with bis noble self to leave any room
in his heart for any one else; and rest
assured, where affection is not mutual, life
cannot be prosperous or happy. "Seest
thou man wise in his own conceit, there
is more hope of a fool than of him."
When see a man lover of pleasure
more than Of property, sacrificing principle
to passion, and prone to PROSTATE his pros
poets before his propensities, guess that
that man will reap pain instead of pleasure,
and that pleasure itself will pail on his
palate. Ladies, do not marry lover Of
pleasure; he cannot perpetually please you,
nor can you please him long.
, When I see a man prodigal with his
, property, pouring it out profusely, without
r regard to the precep:s of prudence, guess
that that man is preciptately pacing the
f path to poverty, and thas therefore he will
not long own property. Ladies, do moi
I marry pr0dligal, unless you choose pow.
S erty. .. t.
$ When see man of virtuous life, with
r clear head and warm heart, and indus
trious habits, laboriug with zeal and energ.
for his own and general good, guess that
) man would make fine citizen, happy
b husband, an affectionate father, ana :;
t prosperous man. Ladies, keep good lool
out-and when you find such character
and can get on offer from him, do no
hesitate or pause to inquire whether he j
rich, or descended from great family, bu
C jump at the chance, and your days shal
n pass sweetly and smoothly away.
