MEN WHO WIN Nj

God has so made the sexes that
women, like children, cling to men,
lean upon them as thougl they were
superior in mind and body. They
make them the sous of systems, and
their children revolve around them.
Men are Gods, if they but knew it,
and women burning incense at these
shrines. Women, therefore, who
have good minds and pure hearts
want mel TO lean upon. Think Of
their ~reverencing a drunkard, a liar,
OF. u libertine. If a man would have
a woman 10 do him homage, he must
be manly in every sense; a true gen.
tleman, not after the Chesterfield
school, but polite, because his heart
is full of kindness to all; one who
treats her with respect, even defence,
because she is a woman; who never
condescends to say silly things to her
who urings her up to his level, if his
mind is never over anxious to do
right, who has 10 time to be frivolous
with her. Always dignifed in speech
and act who never spends too much
upon her never yields to temptation,
even if she puts it in his way; ambi-
tious to make his mark in the world
whether she encourages him or not
who is never familiar with her to the
extent of being an adopted brother OF
q cousin; who is not even careful
about dress; always pleasant and
considerate, bat always keeping his
place of the man, the head, and never
losing it. Such department, with
noble principles, good mind, energy
and industry will win any woman in
the world worth winning.
