TO THE NEWLY MARRIED.
During the past few weeks
many young men in this country
have changed their lives from
celibacy to conjugal relations, In
other words, tired of living alone,
they have married; and in this
they have done well, provided,
however, they have made judicious
selections in their life long COM
panions. No man who has been
once happily married wants to live
single again if his surroundings in
life will admit of another mar
riage. But it is to the young the
newly married-tha we would
address a word of counsel. And
first we would say, much depends
upon the manner III which you be-
gin life rs to whether your mar
ried life is happy or unhappy;
successful or unsuccessful. The
presumption is that nearly all the
young men who have married
within the past few weeks are
poor young men,a leastso far as the
term relates to this worlds goods.
To all such we would say, be care
fal, in the very beginning, that
you live within your income. Let
nothing induce you to contract a
debt that you Will be unable to
pay promptly at its maturity, In
deed, it IS better, still, to contract
no debts at all. Let it be q rule
Of life that if you want an article
and are not able to pay the cash
for it, do withoutiti Until you can get
the money to pay for it.
There is nothing so valuable to a
young man just entering life as a
good credit, and what is meant by
credit, after all, is nothing more
than the confidence Of his fellow
man. When men lose confidence
in another they lose respect for
him, and without the respect Of
your fellow man, life would be a
drudge indeed. Then how i'm
portant is it that you should seek
to establish and preserve a good
credit in the very beginning OF
life. Yon need not be afraid tc
tell your wife that you are poor
let her know all in the very out
set, and # she be a sensible girl.
Of which there is usually little
doubt, her intuition and fine wo-
manly judgement will be able al
once to suggest a course that will
be both happy and wise.

her happy, and in proportion as
she is happy she will love you the
more. But if you are unfortunate
and adversely begins to frown up
on you, keep it not from her, baN
let her know all, aud she will hell
you in a way that you had no
thought OF. But few men proper.
