young man, who win be compelled to earn by
severe labos the subsistence Of himself and his

girl dresses aud reasons as if she entertained a
romantic confidence in her Cindirel!a-like desti-
nv Of marrying, il not prince, a weakly

Il is because girls cherish these ideas that
the young men are afraid to marry.
The young women they meet with are also
im6ued with no,.oas o( marriage so utterly in-
