shouhs You also wish to marrya donA
you? 1i IF you do not, you are free either
1nore, e,or less than woman. Presuming
that you are; all right in this matter, we
call your raattentien to the following ex-
tract, thas words of unpopular author:
"a wife looks prettiers if she did not
kkDeEf itsin sherxneat4 morning frocks tot
calico, than in the incongruous pile OF
fnery which she dignifes with the title
of full dress. Many an unmarried fe-
male first wins the heart of her future
husband in some simple, unpretending
attire which, if consulted about, she
would pronounce too cheap except for
ordinary wear, but which, by its acciden-
tai suitability to her figure, face and
carriage, idealize her youth wonderfully.
If the sex would study taste in dress
more, and care less for costliness, they
would have no reason to regret it." 4ga3
Now we. assure one and all-the un-
married of the fair sex-that we have
known many females, who really wished
to marry, to live in single blessedness,
for no other reason, in all human proba-
bility, than that of dressing gaudily.-
We have heard the sentiments of the
sex expressed a thousand times on this
point, and in every instance, whether
the observer was young or old, young
man, bachelor, or widower, rich or poor,
ugly or handsome, wise man, fop, or
dandy, in every instance an over dressed
or expensively "rigged out" female has
lost caste in his estimation. .es.s-s..
This is perfectly natural and proper.
A foolish and silly man is not. worth
marrying; and sensible men will surely
judge you advantageously in exact, ra-
ito to the plainness and simplicity of
your dress .,r, e.. -,s.. .....,.- .r....ll.e
A poor man, or a man in moderate
circumstances, however worthy and de-
serving, dare not marry female who is
superfuously done up in ribbons and
hounces, however learned and talented
she may be, because he has sense enough
to suspect she will be an expensive treas
ure. He may love her, and still feel
that he cannot afford to marry her.
And the rich man, though he likes
her personally, and admires her other
accomplishments, dare not take her for
better or worse, because the dashing
style of her habiliments, indicate too
great passion for the admiration of the
world. He fears, justly too, that her
passion for general admiration will be a
serious obstacle in the way, the manifes-
tationl of affection for him individually.
And as all men are selfish, whether wo-
men are or not, both rich, and poor, and
in selecting.a wife, act on the principle,

Advice to the Newly Married. :.,-r.. 4E
:: Zchokke in one of his tales, gives the
following advice to bride: i~1i- aeJ
'In the first solitary hour after the cer-
emony, take the bridegroom and demand
a solemn VOW of him and give him one
in return Promise one another sacredly
never not even in jest, to wrangle with
each other, never to handy. words or in
dulge in the least ill-humor. Never, /
say, never! Wrangling in jest and put
ting on an air of ill-humor merely to
tease becomes earnest in practice, Mark
that Next promise each other sincerity
and solemnly never to have secret from
each other under whatever prtext, with
whatever excuse it might be-. You must
and every moment see into
each others bosom. Even when. one of
you has committed fault wait not an
instant but confess it freely; let it cost
tears; but confess it. luse zg.5f .l.1l
And as you keep nothing secret from
each other, SO, on the contrary, preserve
the privacies of house, marriage state
and heart, from father, mother sister,
brother, aunt and all the world. ou
two with Cod help build your own quiet
world; every third or fourth one whom
you draw into it with you will form a
party and stand between you two.
That should never be. Promise this
each to the other. Renew the VOW at
Zach temptation. You will find your ac-
count in it, Your souls will grow as it
we're together, and at last will become
is one. All! if many young pair had
IN their wedding day known this secret,
low many marriages were happier than,
las, they are!' aioa,1fs -"a s5-i
