anxious to hear favorable opinion from
Audrey concerning his face. Am / the
man yet?' he asked. Doth my simple
feature content you?' Your features,
was the lady's reply, Lord warrant US
what features Some Of the correspond
ents are very much Of the Audrey stamp
but they are little more particular about
features. The answers of the gentlemen
are, therefore, highly colored, and, where
no great personal attractions are claimed,
the appeal is earnest on other grounds.
/ Here, for instance, is one Of the helpless
bachelors whom the worthy editor takes
kindly by the nand:--
| "A Liverpool printer entreats US to inter-
cede with our fair correspondents, as with

/ self he is unable TO do so by the present

I young man is tweniy-one, and yirtuous
and amiable wife might save him from ruin.
/ We strongly recommend him to the notice

/ ing, although at present his income is no
more than thirty shilllngs week. He is a
/ printer just out of his time, and only wants
to find good, true, and loving wife, heart

The coolness with which the iudicious
/ friend of the young man speaks of rather
rare virtues in womankind, shows how sU-
perior are the ladies who place themselves
under his paternal care Strange as it may
seem, it is actually the fact that some of
these fair correspondents are persons OF
moderately good station, often possessing
independent means, aud not scrupling to
give their real names and addresses. How
far their peculiar mode of hunting for hus-
band may be justified by the 'present frivo-
lous and artificial state of society we shall
leave Miss Ray and others TO determine.
No doubt the poor girls who are silly enough
to write these letters are often duped by
the replies they receive, but this is no con-
cern OF the editors. He does not trouble
himself about the misery he may occasion
by introducing persons totally unacquainted
with each others past life and habits
The candidates for uatrimony are not
always free from blemish. One cores

cure for blushing; we should scarcely
have thought that bashfulness troubled any
one capable of writing letters of the kind
we have described. A young woman limps
in her gait and begs for advice which will
enable her to walk straight; and another
asks whether going into Mysteries would be
likely TO move a tardy lover to speedy
declaration of his suit. One lady lamenls
that her lover has 'brun highes and red
whishkers'-colors which she is of opinion
do not harmonize well together. Very
many of the fair correspondents complain
that the young men of the present day
are dreadtully shy AN imperfection which
certainly cannot be charged against the
clamorous and impatient writers themselves.
There is, in truth, subject beyond the
range of the editors knowledge. Some
times an answer is made the vehicle of
putting off quack medicine, though it is fair
TO state that in one publication only have
we detected instances of this. Subscribers
are there advised to take the universal
medicines. one Of which, called the tonic
pill cures almost every malady that troub-
les human kind. The London journal and
Family Herald are perfectly unobjection-
able in this respect, and the replies given
are obviously likely to be useful to the per-
sons who seek for information. i is, as
we have said, upon questions Of love that
the editors are most amusing. The Fami-
ly Herald bids its readers to disbelieve in
first love, which is more frequently de-
lusion of the senses than an enduring senti-
ment. First love is generally attended with
all the symptoms of delrium, in which rea-
son is prostrated, and all consideration of
the future hopelessly ignored. 1t is, IN
fact. an exaggeration, which time, accident,
or alienation, in the majority of instances,
mercifully dilutes with the dictates of COM
nonsense.
Whether love, first or last, is not more
or less delusion of the senses. Is a theme
upon which It would be interesting to hear
this sage discourse. He Is evidently at
home in the subject, although his DEGREES
are probably opposed to the morals OF the
