Advice TO Young Men.

sensible suggestion TO young men:
Dear gentlemen, between the ages OF
eighteen and forty-five, listen to a few
words of gratuitous remark. When yen
make social call of an evening on
young lady, 60 away at a reasonable
hour. Say you come at eight o'clock,
an hour and half is certainly as long
as the most fascinating of you in con-.
versation can, or rather ought, to desire
F, to use his charms. Two hours, indeed,
are very pleasantly spent with music,
chess, or other games. to lend variety;
but, kind sirs, by no means stay longer.
Make short calls and come otteher a
girl-that is sensible, truehearted girl
will enjoy it better, and really value
your acquaintance more.
Just conceive the agony of girl who,
well knowing the feeling of father and
mother on the subject, hears the clock
strike ten, and yet must sit on the edge
of her chair in mortal terror, lest papa
should put his oft repeated threat into
execution-that of coming down and
inviting the gentleman TO breakfast
All, We girls understand it all by expert
ence, and know what it is to dread the
prognostic of displeasure. In such ca
ses a sigh of relief generally accompan-
les the closing Of the door behind the
gallant, and one don't get over the feel
ing of trouble till safe in the arms of
Morpheus. Even then, sometimes the
dreams are troubled with SOME phan-
tom of an angry father and distressed
! for all parties-mother; and all because
a Young man viii make longer call
than he ought to.
Now, young gentleman friends, I'll
tell you what we girls will do. For an
hour and a halt we will be most irreSls-
tibly charming and fascinating; then
beware, morosyllahle responses will be
all you need accept. And if, when the
limits shall have been passed, start
ling query shall be heard coming down
stairs: "Isn't il time to close upf you
must consider it righteous punish
ment, and taking your hat, meekly de
| part, sadder and it is 10 be hoped a
wiser man. Do not get angry; but the
next time yoa come, be careful to keep
within bounds.
We want TO rise early these pleasant
mornings, and improve the shining
hours" but when forced to be up At
such unreasonable hours at night, ex-
hausted nature will speak, aud, as
natural consequence, with the utmost
speed in dressing, we can barely get
down to breakfast in time to escape
reprimand from papa, who don't believe
in beaux-as though he never was
young-and mild reproving glance
from mamma who understands a little
better poor daughters feelings but still
must dsapprove ontwardly, to keep up
appearances. And now, young men
think about these things, and don't
for PHYS sake, don't throw down your
paper with a pshaw but remember the
safe side of ten.
