James Morgan OF Morgan county,
Indiana, offers ST. for a wife who
must be both young and pretty. He
has had many applications, but the
multiplicity of charms displayed by
the differert candidates confuses the
old gentleman, and he cannot make up
his mind which of the fair damsels TO
take. 1t would be a good idea for him
TO call in jury Of young men, who
are entirely competent to decide on
all questions touching female lowell
ness, and abide by their decision.
Should he fail to find the right kind
of a partner, let him invest his So, 900
in some worthy charity by which the
disappointed ones may be benefited.
