Mahonet said he experienced in his
dreams about the house of PARADISE
That favors easily obtained are soon at
discount, is proverb as old as the hills
and as fiat as dish wa er, but, neverthe-
less, as true as gospel. Therefore, be
chary of that pretty mouth of yours, Miss
Sweet-lips. You understand me-
Though your teeth were wh;er than the
whiicst water-lily, aud your breath more
fragrant than Oriental otto of roses, Gus
tom would stale the beauty of the one
and the perfume OF the o,her. Keep
your lips to yourself, fair lady, until you
make them over in fee simple at the al
tar. And don't be sen mental. That
style is "pjayed out" The men have
been Rosa Ma ilda'd to death. The
high flown and the extra-poetic Cupid's
market. If you have u leaning toward
the lofty aud The emo ional, carcen the
other way aud lean carthward, like the
tower of Pisa. Depend upon it,. that.the
thigh horse sentiment, is u bad lag for
the ma rinonlal course.
n word with the beauties If heaven
has made you as handsome as St. Cecilia,
young lady don't mar the gift by being
as naughty As Lucifer Above all, don't
play the satrap over your adorer, and
put, fgura'ively speaking, yonr delicate
foot upon his neck. The masculine ami
nal does not like to be abused, even by
Il gal.erboot no bigger than Clnderella's

Should "Woman's Rights" happen to
be your particular weakness, my dear,
/ the less you show your hand to your
sweetheart, as regards that point, the
bet or. Keep your views about 'fcwale
suffrage and all, perdu, as pleasant
surprise for him after the kuo, is tied,
and he Is fairly launched into natrimony.
Otherwise he might SLIDE of. Men, pre-
JUDGED creatures that they are. have il
notion, that strong-mlnded women are all
Mrs. Caudes. ''First catch your hare"
as the old cookery book sa Us, you can
then ''cook his goose" as you think pro-
per. Perhaps, upon the whole, il you
can get rid Of your id,onocrasy i. will
be as well or if you can't do hat, it
may be wise not to marry at all. There
is room on the "plattorm,' believe, for
few more single sis ers.
Lady Bird" if you happen to be ell
gagged, or even if you hope to be engaged,
don't firt too much. A systematic hirt
may succeed in showing her power by
rendering her lover jealous and unhappy
for sine, but she Is sure TO end by dis
gushing and alternating him. The best
way to fr and r,ret the affections of a
lrae man-aud anything below that mark
is not worth any woman's winning and
wcaring-is to be naturai. Some young
ladies, whom | see daily, aud have at
this moment in NY minds eye, are sin
gularly unfortunate in their attempts to
attrac admiration. There are just such
girls everywhere, and dare say, every
female reader of this article knows at
least one or two Of them. They never
attempt to put on a grace or virtue,
wi hout running into its parallel faults.
Thus, when they would seem cheerful
they giggle, and when the propose to
themselves to be bashtul aud re iling,
they play the prude. Reserve with
them degeneralos into the sullcns, and
when they would be lively they are llys-
telical. Even glon-when is their
cue to be saintly-they put on as il it
were a full dress Of black Sackcloth; and
III fact, under no circumstances do they
appear as heaven made them. From
topknot to gaiter-solc they are all ar.i-
fetal. No man ever loved, or ever will
love, an artificial woman very long, take
iha for granted.
So, my pretty dcars, all of you who
desire good Observation-Disclosures .ha, you
can anchor your hear on, and 81
anchored, feel safe and happy in the
hardest yphoon that misfortune ever
bjew-be as the Lord made you, and
put on 10 airs or aiircra ioEs. No
birds hat are worth nesting, are 20 De
caught with such chaff.
You don't want popinjays for partners.
Neither do men, tha+ are men, wan
popniay wives Dip omatize It,le, if
you like, in courtship--nanevre for

the sake of its fruits if you will, but be-
ware Of practising any deceit, or resor.-
ing to any stra agem that, discovered in
the future, might render the nuptial
/ co"ch a bed Of thorns. BE true to your
selves. Govern Jour hearts with your
heads, and choose wisely and de,berate-
ly. Marriage is not lottery to the
prudent and discreet.
