You arc al1apt to complain (writcs

lovers, when they become husbands.
cannot unite tho two characters. You
lay this mostly to tho mems charge.
Do.yon think it is their fault entirely ?
L ON disposed TO say no. l will tell
you why. Before marriage you tako
tho greatest pains to elevate your

woiSh'rpcl accol dirsIy. Men, cs-
prc'a'iy !hrs, rcSsasaitS superior In
telcct"al qualities and ,rctincncnt of

you as something nearer 10 heaven
than themselves; and 10. no sooner
has the honeymoon passed than your
husbands discover, by impcrccplitlo
BIZ. sure degrees, that you arc (tEouYh

How frequent is the spectacle Of
neat, scrupulous ma;dcn$, Who, when
they become wives, neglect their per.
sonal appearance; and who, if asked
why they do SO, would answer, "Oh,

was his weakness. uo easily lost
sclf-control; then was very abusive ;
and then repemted. On tho occasion re-
ferrcd to he was 80 chagrined at the

that he soon called upon his ncighbor,
