FFERSON COUNTY VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEP 1874 NEW
MEN WHOM woasN LIKE BEST.

We know that men naturally shrink
from the attempt TO obtain companions
who are their superiors; but you viii
find that really intelligent women, who
possess the most desirable qualities, are
uniformly modest, and hold their
charms id modest estimation. What
such women most admire is gallantry--
not the gallantry of courts and tops
but boldness, courage, devotion aud
refined civility. \ mans bearing wins
ten superior women where his boots
and brains win one.
If a man stands before woman with
respect for himself and fearless of her,
his suit is halt Won. The TEST may
safely be LETT to the parties most inter
ested. Therefore never be afraid Of
woman. Women are the most harmless
and agreeable creatures in the world to
a man who shows that he has got
mans soul in him. If You have not
the spirit to come up TO the test like
this, you have not that in You which
most pleases high souled woman, and
YOU will be obliged TO content yourself
with the simple g,rl, Sho, III a 4niat
way, is endeayoring to attract aud fas-
ten YOU. But don't be ip hurry about
the matter. 1t isn't creditable to YOU.
Especially don't imagine that any dis
appointment in love which takes place
before you are twenty-one years old,
will be of any material consequence to
YOU. The truth is that before man is
twenty-gve he does not know what no
wants himself. So don't be in hurry.
The more of Il man You become, and
the more manliness YOU become capable
Of exhibiting in Your association with
women, the better wife YOU Will be able
to obtain; aud one years possession OF
the heart aud hand of really noble
specimen Of her sex, is worth niue bun
drod and ninety-uiuc years possession
of sweet creation with two ideas IN
her head. and nothing new to say about
either of them SO don't b. in hurry,
we say again.
