Avoid all proposed alliances through
newspaper advertisements. Many women
just for fun, have answered such advertise
ments, and have been lead on from steT
to step to catastrophe infinite. All The
men who write such advertisements are
villains and lepers-all, without O single
exception. All All Do you answer
them just for fun2 I will tell you a safer
and healthier fun. Thrust your hand
through the cage at menagerie, and
stroke the back Of cobra from the East
Indies Put your head in the mouth of a
Numidian lion to see if he will bite Take q
glassful OF Paris green mixed with some
delightful henbane. These are safer and
healthier fun than answering newspaper
advertisements for wife.
Ny advice is;
MARRY A MAN WHO IS A FORTUNE IN HIMSELF.
Houses. lands and large inheritance are
well enough, but he wheel Of fortune turns
so rapidly, that through some investment
all these in few years may be gone. There
are some things, however, that are per-
petual fortune-good manners, geniality
Of ssul, kindness, intelligence, sympathy,
courage perseverance,, industry and whole
heartedness Marry such one and you
have married fortune, whether he have
an income row Of fifty thousand dollars O
year or an income of five hundred dollars
A bank is secure according 10 the capital
stock, and not TO be Judged by the deposits
for day or week. A man is rich &c,
cording 10 his sterling qualities aud
not according TO the vacllation OF cir
cumstances, which may leave with
him large amount of resources to-day and
withdraw them tomorrow. If q maR 10
worth nothing but money, he is poor in
deed II man has upright character he
is rich Property may como and go,
he is independent OF the markets Nothing
can buy him out, nothing can sell him out
lie may have more money one year than
another, bat his better iortunes never
vacilate.
Yet,
10 NOT E2rECT TO FIND a PERFECT MAN.
If you find oIe without any faults, ircaps-
BILE of mistakes, never having guessed
wrongly, his patience never having been
perturbed immaculate in speech, in TEN.
per, in habits, do not marry him. Why
Because you would enact swindle
What would you do with perfect man
who are not perfect YOURSELF And how
dare you hitch your imperfection fast on
such supernatural excellenceY What q
companion you would make for an angel
In other words, there are no perfect men,
Tnere never was but one perfect pair,
and they slipped down the uanks OF
Paradise together. We occasionally find
q man who says he never sins. We know
lie lies when he says it. We have had
financial dealings with two or three per.
fec. men, and they cheated us woefully.
DO, not therefore, look for an immaculate
husband, for you will not find him.
But
DO NOT BECOME CYNICAL on THIS sURJECT.
Society has q great multitude of grand
men, who know how TO make home happy.
When they come 10 LIE husbands they
evince nobility OF nature and selfsacri'
fcine spirit that surprise even the wife.
Thege re the men who cheertully sit in
dark and dirty business offices, ten feet by
twelve, in summer time hard at work,
while the wives and daughters are oil at
Saratoga Mount Desert or the White Sui
phur These are the men who never
having much education themselves, have
their own cons at Yale and Harvard and
( Virginia IiniYer.ity. These are the men
( who work themselves to death by fifty years
Of age, and 90 out to Greenwood, leaving
large estate aud generous life insurance
provision for their families. There are
husbands aud fathers here by the hun
dreds who would die for their households
I If outasry should ever become dominant
( in cur cities. they would stand in their
doorwaT, and with their one arm would
cllave down, one by one, fifty lnvadera,
| face to face, foot TO loot and every stroke
@ demolition. This is what makes an ar
my in defense Of q country fight more des'
perately thun an army of conquest. II is
! not go much the abstract sentiment OF a
! hag as it is wife and children and home,
that turns enthusiasm into fury. The
world has such men by the million and
j tho hcmuneuii that iniest all our oommu'
mites must not hinder women from sppre'
ciatirg the glory Of true manhood.
| was reading Of bridal reception. The
yonng man had brought home the choice
Of his heart, in her elaborGt3 and
exquisite apparel. AS she stood
in tie gay drawing room, and amid the
CAV group, the young mans eyes filled with
tears of 10y as he thought that she vas his.
Years passed BY, aad they stood at the
same parlor on another iestai occasion,
She wore the same dress, for business had
not opened as brightly to the young hus'
band as he expected, and he had never
been able TO purchase for her another
dress. Her face was not as bright and
smooth as it had been years before, and q
careworn look had made its signature on
her countensnce. 20 the husband Doked
At her he saw the difference between this
occasion and the former and he went over
where she sat, and ssid: "You remember
the time when we were here before. Ion
