About Marrying.

Occasionally young men of good
character indulge in gloomy doubts
concerning the average American
woman. but such doubts can easily
be traced to disappointed affection,
or perhaps it may be produced by
the horrors Of a cheap boarding.
house. Marriage is sanctioned by
God and common sense. 1t IS the
only means whereby a young man
in this country can hope to lead d
respectable and c~leanly life. But
there are too classes OF persons who
are exempt from its joys and its
sorrows. u
If you, young man, are deaf:
dumb, lame, blind and idiotlc, and
if your ancestors have been such,
Or if YOU are so mean that yonr lie
is that of a fricndless, snarlin% cur,
and you feel that you could not be
anything else, even to your wife,
you~can stand aside.
If you,' young man, have con
ceived that ambition so common
nowadays, Of being a "fast man"
ifyou have made up your mind to
keep a fast horse and a cOncublne
if your idea of happiness is to have
your hands full OF cards and your
stomach full OF oysters; if Non, in
short, have made your arrangements
to 60 straight to periition, without
change of cars, you'd better not
marry. You viii spend the money
that the honorable man lavishes on
q home and its "light and iife,7 Oh
painted creatures who drag your
polluted name through every sink
in the land; who will display the
.jewelry and gifts you have bestowed
OH them, and curse yog, with II Glib,
round oath for a spoony and q fool,
You, too economical to marry, will
have plenty to spend on l~Ong-haired
cut-throats, who will leave YOU at
last, it may be, to die Witcless, amid
the dust and cObwebs, Of the
garrett Fanny Fern.
