A Woman's Growing Old.

Ii woman could only believe it,
there ia u wonderful beauty even in
growing old. The charm of express
ion arising from sooened temper or
ripened intellect, often amply atones
tor the loss of form and coloring, and
consequently, to those who never
could boast either Of these latter,
years give much more than they take
away. A sensitive person often re-
quires nalf lifetime to get thor
oughly used to this corporeal ma
chine, to attain wholesome indif-
ference both to its defects and per-
fections-and to learn at last what
nobody would acquire from any
teacher but experience, that it is the
mind alone which is of any conse-
quence; that with a good temper,
sincerity, and a moderate stock OF
brains-or even the two former only
any sort Of body can in time be
made useful, respectable, and agree

soul. Many one, who was abso-
lutely plain in youth, thus grows
pleasant and well-looking in deciin-
ing years. You will hardly eveI
find anybody, not ugly In minG, who
is repulsively ugly in person after

Don't be a Bachelor =.

Young man, don't live q crusty
bachelor; it is not good for you. 1t
will neither improve your morals,
health nor beauty. Marry as soon
as you can make it convenient, and
can shape your affairs 80 as to sup
port wife. But when you marry,
don't fall in love with face instead
Of q woman. Remember that COM
mon sense is o rare virtue, much
better than silver, gold and fashion.
Don't court and marry crinoline and
money bags, simply because it is
crinoline or gold in plenty; but look
for sound practical sense in u wo-
man, first-that is the touch stone
to try hsr other qualities by.
When you have that, all else
comes. Your vile, that is to be, if
she's full Of common sense, will
grow to your way Of thinking, and
make you grow to hers. A woman
who has womanly love in her heart,
will find ways to make your love
toward her grow as the years 60
over you both. And another thing
needs to be needed, and that is-a
common sense woman is not to be
found where fashion insists upon
dragging young females into a whirl
where there is simply idle gossip
and little brain.
Young man don't stand looking
after that young woman who has the
distinguished air, the reputation o.
Q flirt and q belle, whose father has
heaps of cash; for il is not impossi'
BILE that while you are strainine
your eyes, you may be turning you
back upon some unobtrusive little
damsel whom nature has cut as you

enough of you to 90 with you to th'
end Of the world, and stay by ant
