Men that wome en- Like Rest,

We know that men naturally shrink
from the attempt to obtain companions
who were their superiors but they will
ind that really intelligent women who
posscsse the most desirable qualities, are
uniformly modest, and hold their charms
In modest estimation. What such wO-
men most admire is gallantry not the
gallantry of courts aud tops, but bold
ness, courage, devotion and refined civil
ity, a mans bearing wins ten superior
women where his dress and family will
win one.
IL a man stands before women with
respect for himself and fearless OF her,
his suit is half won. The rest may be
left TO the parties most interested. There
fore never be afraid of women. Women
are the most harmless and agreeable
creatures in the world to man who
knows 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 a high-souled
woman, and you will be obliged to con-
tent yourself with the simple girl, who,
In quiet way, is endeavoring to attract
and fasten you. But don't be in a hur-
ry about the matter. 1t isn't creditable
to you. Especially don't imagine that
any disappointment 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 a man is TWEEN
ty-five he does not know what he wants
himself. So don't be in a hurry. The
more OF man you may become capable
OF exhibiting in your associations with
women, the better wife you will be able
to obtain, and one years possession of
the heart and hand.ofa really noble speci-
men of her sex is worthy 800 years pos
session of a sweet creature with two ideas
in her head, and nothing new to say
about either of them. So don't be i'm a
hurry, we say again. You don't want a
wife now, and you have no idea of the
kind of a wife YOU will want by-and-by.
Go into female society if you can find
that which will improve you, but not
otherwise.
