,You all want to marry don't yon, girls7
at least you are, making. your calculations

YOU are-Yoh all expect to marry; and the
exbectationsU Of most, IF not all Of you, will

or none at ALL Better live aud die erold maids
than to pair yourselves off with worthless.
Young men. Now, We think we can put: you
in the right road to get good husbands. That's;
lust the road you, have been ;wanting TO find
for some time, but some, Of you have missed
II a long way. We will now point II out to:
YOU, and if you follow, in it, ten to one you:
win find Just such husband as you desire x
: The important thing to be doneis toreDder,
yourselves worthy of good husbands. You
must put off the ways Of children: You
must study to make yourselyea,ussnl, las well
as ornamental. You nqst, for time at least,
lay aside the fashionable. accomplishments OF
life, and study those things which will be of
use to you after marriage. A young man
who is worth having is not easily caught. 'He,
must see something in young lady to COM

There are some girls. who become very
anxious to marry, and they put themselves

Remember, young ladies, that ,your girlish

stationa now occupied by your mothers. How
very important than that yoa get, good hus-

wives. Go:d old Paul left sono excellent
advice to the ladies on, record; 1t was to this
effect-that :. women ad,rn themselves in
modest apparel with shamefacedness and so
briefly; not with braided hair or gold ov
pearls, or costly array Ibut'with good works"

Whcneyrr it becomes known that youns
