Rules for Young Ladies.

In marrying make your own match.
Never marry mao to get rid of him
Do not marry in haste to repent at
leisure.
Do not marry Tor home and living.
when there are 50 many avenues Tor
making both.
Do not let parent or guardians marry
you to suit themselves, for they cannot
suffer for you the lifelong misery which
may be in store for you.
Do not place yourself hobitually in
the company Of any suitor. Get away
from them, make up your mind alone,
when you are not bewildcred and when
your head is cool. Many young lady
has yielded to wild protestations and
afterwards regretted it.
Do not look to high lest you secure a
companion who will despiSe you.
Do not marry in haste. Love can
wait; that which cannot wait is of a
different nature.
Do not marry at the bidding of pa
rents merely. Let the heart be firm y
fixed, and be sure you know what you
are doing,
Do not marry hastily against the
wishes and counsel of friends, consider
whether or not their objections are
well founded
Do not image that because you arc
miserable when you are away from your
lover that you will always be happy
with him. The opposite will often be
the case.
