For the information of those who
are of the conclusion that as the
reason of my celibacy l am too
hard to please, l will say that l
am not now and never was a candi-
date for the bliss and sweets of
welded life. When l offer myself
as 8 sacrifice at the Hymenial altar,
then the public will be appraised OF
the fact. / do not claim to be in
vulnerable to Capid's darts, insensi-
bic to the attractions of some of
the fair nymphs of our land, nor
wanting in the proper appreciation
of those who are disposed to favor
me with their smiles. would ra
ther be dead to almost anything
else than TO the smiles Of young la
dies. Their bewitching smiles and
captivating charms will almost
drive a man to desperation. My
ideal of wife is about this. One
whose husbands interest will be
her own-whose life will be devoted
to the objects of her care, rendering
happy those with whom she associ-
ates, dispelling the gloom that may
gather about her own hearth stone
by her social charms and the sun
light of her countenance. One that
will run her dainty fingers through
my hair, and will meet me at our
little cottage door with kiss and a
smile when | come in from
my days labor. Such is my ideal
if l never realize it. do not pro
pose to say that a woman must be
able to throw a pot out through the
chimney and then run around and |
be able to catch it before it gets TO |
the ground, at all.
When l start out to get wife l |
shall seek for neither wealth nor
beauty, though l will mot allow Ell
ther to be a barrier in the way. A
woman may be as rich as Cresus,
and as beautiful as Venus, and yet
not make good wife.
The honorable j. Parker Of the
Pulaski bar made us visit
the other day. He is certainly fat
tening on something good, judging
from his appearance.
