make it cndurablc.
Some marry for love- without cent
in their pockets nor friend in the
world, nor drop of pedigree. This
looks desperate, but it is the strength Of
the game.
If marrying for love amt a success,
then matrimony is dcd beet.
Some marry brkaws thn think wimmpn
will be scarce next year. and live TO won
der how the crop holds out,
Some marry 10 get rid of themselves
and discover that the game was one tmt
two could play at and neither win.
Some marry the second time to get
even, and find it gambling game--thr
more they put down the less tina take up.
Some marry to be happy and missing
it, wonder where all the happiness goes
To when it dies.
Some marry they can't teh why, and
live tha can't tell how
Almost everybody gets married, and
it is good joke Some think it over
careful tust, and then set down and
marry
Both ways are right if they hit the
mark.
Some marry rakes to convert them.
This is - little risky, and it takeb sharp
miss onary to do it.
Some marry coquctis. This is like
buying poor farm heavily mortgaged,
aud working the balance oi your days to
clear off the mortgage.
Married life has its chances, and this
is just what gives it flavor. Everybody
loves to phool with chances, because he
everybody expects to win. But l am
authorised to state that every body don't
win.
But, after all, married life is full as
certain as the dry goods business.
No man can swear exactly where he
will fetch up when be touches calico.
No man can tell just what calico has
a mind to do next.
Calico don't even know herself.
Dry goods of all kinds is the child of
circumstances.
The man who stands on the bank shv-
ering and dassent, is more apt to catch
cold than he who pitches head furst in
the river.
Marry young IS my motto.
| have tried it, and know what am
talking about.
Ii any body asks you why you got
married, say you don't recolect.
