None, except in debts"
Good heavens, what an uuprincipIef
man And | thought we were goino
to be so happy, and have so much money
GU are heartless deceiver, What
are We to do p
well, Madam, | think after vouI
conduct YOU had better 90 and live with
some OF your relations, if thew will
have YOU. There can be no use in our
keeping up this farce of love any
longer"
Thank you, sir l find that YOU can
be uncivil as well as dishonest. Allow
me TO advise you to return to your
lucrative profession"
While this happy couple are settling
their arrangements, we will conclude
with some general observations.
Very few of the young ladies who are
ready to make imprudent marriages
have any notion how to economic small
means, so that they may produce the
greatest amount of comfort. And vet
this is the great problem of life and
we may divide the world into good
managers and bad managers "A penny
saved is penny gained" is a wise
proverb, for in the spending there is
generally little pleasure even at the
moment. We hear on all sides people
wishing to be rich and envious of those
who are so but the fact that they are
still poor ought to prove to us that they
are not in earnest. No, the things they
really value are those which money
procures, and for which they are always
ready to part with it. They want
houses, furniture, pictures, horses, rank,
love, society, and regard these as more
important than coin. The worship Of
the golden idol is not so general as we
might suppose from the din of the sack
but and psaltery How often do We
hear person descanting upon the value
of wealth, and telling us almost in the
same breath that he has expended
large sum upon some ridiculous hobby
Sailors are not the only men who make
their money like horses and spend il
like asses. Taking, therefore, the view
that people propose to themselves many
different objects in life and seldom that |
Of accumulation, let us recommend /
young men and women who are looking
forward to pairing time" to consider |
well and deliberately what it is they |
desire. 1t would evidently be a mistake /
for a girl whose ideas of happiness center /
in love to marry a morOse old man |
because he has money, or for one who |
wishes to mix in society to unite herself
to handsome young fellow who has |
neither rank nor means. In the same |
way, man who prizes beauty above |
all things should not marry an ill-fa- |
vored heiress, nor should one who /
desires to rise and "cut a swathe" in .
the world think of uniting himself to
/ penniless wife. A certain amount off
in taste is always essential.
Let no one imagine that he can after
ward bend and mold another to his
Jews he should rather seek one whose
