An Er-oId Maids Advice - Girls.

But such marriages as mine arc not to bs
expected or even hoped for. Il must he ex-
ceedingly rare for a woman Of forty years old
to meet man whose age, taste, habits, and
position make their marriage q promise OF
happiness to both. Such q marriage is to be
gratefully rejoiced over II It comes, but it is.
possible to be happy and useful without II.
What mean to impress upon the girls, when
] write to them, is that they should make
themselves able to stand alone. I'll quote
Margaret Fuller's words ou that subject to
them: With self.support possible, unhappy
years In the paternal home and many unhappy
marriages will be prevented, happy single
life will be made possible, and a happy mar
riage will he more probable Concise dircc-
tions. Well II gave any, they would be
like this:
l. Don't waste any time waiting for him"
9. Don't spend quite so much rs you earn.
g. To prevent nsrrowness, mastcr some
branch of knowledge not connected with your
occupation ....
T. To keep your heart warm love somebody's
children. If possible, connect yourself with
their care and education.
.. When married women confde their troub-
les TO you-and, strange to say, they will do IL
much oitener than they contde them to each
other-don't let II give you a dark view of
married life or of masculine human nature.

BEEN reduced to such II science Ia some circles
that young man belonging among the first
families" of a ncighborinE city thus discourses
OF his woes in a prominent journal of that Sec
ton: am u clerk at small salary in

my acquaintance Is chiefly among fashionable
people; in fact, may say, among the hest
people in town. Now, along with the 'Kera.
