a bachelor Ia the country, especially on
the question why more young men do
not marry,
lam young man Of moderate means
and fair income for the cOuntry-$S00 to
81 900 per year-but from what | could
observe that would not do, | am afraid,
to venture on marriage with the young
ladies Of my acquaintance, and they have
no great expectations either; but are con.
sidered accomplished and bright mem.
bers OF society, which means they can
dance we'll, play the piano, and make
themselves agreeable. But al / think
something else very necessary, remain
single. l know by experience that can
save every year half my income and live
comfortably, dress respectfully, go in so.

am very fond OF company, and cspe-
cially lively and intelligent young ladies,
and In mingling more or less with them,
| have noticed one thing In particular
Young ladies who have parents in ensy
circumstances, or at least well enough off
to give their children fair education,
and often many accomplishments, IN nine
cases out Of ten II asked to go into the
kitchen and get up meal and put Il on
the table in shape, would have to call In
the neighbOrhood to tell them how to
do II, .
What Is thought Of a young man who
loais around doing npthipg2 I'll tell
you; business men don't want them for
help at any price, for the reason that they
don't know how TO do anything. And
that Ia why young men who have their
own way to make In the world, and know
the way TO do 1t Is to save something ey.

marry girls who don't know how to do
anything only crimp their hair and play
pretty.
The wonder is how so many get along
that do marry. | suspect q gOodly mum.
Der Of husbands don't pay their honest
debts, Go into any thrifty town Of $500
to 5000 inhabitants, and the young ladies
OF what Is called "ihe best society" you
will find associate with clerks, young pro.
fessional men, and the sons Of well.to.do
citizens--which Is oil right. Still they
would be ashamed to be seen by these
same young men doing anything At home.
What Is wanted Is class Of young Ia.
dies who have intelligence, common sense
and are good housekeeper'. Young Ia.
dies often wonder what there was about
Miss A. to attract the attention Of Mr.. H.,
and suppose they will keep wondering
until perhaps some day she may call on
what used 10 be Miss A. and discover In
the looks Of the house; and II she be so
fortunate as to stay to tea she can see
without speCtacleS, perhaps some things
that caught the attention Of NIB. Next
