"One of the Boys"-His Views. .


Editor Morning Ne,1s:: 1 was pleased
with the article of Zone of the Boys" for
it displayed, thought. reason aid good
common sense. His showing of expenses
were fair and just, and not extravaganza.
Eighty dollars d month to live upon Is not
extravaganza and somewhat close. ANY
man is fool to marry on a salary of 500
month and to have the necessary ex-
penses of $50 per month. Life to him will
be struggle and burden.
/ would say to Zone of the Boys" and to
all others who desire to marry in time, have
definite and fixed object in view in life
and work to that point There is a science
as well as an art in living and planning for
the future. The first great step in the d.
rection of right living, successful living. is
to avoid and shun all expensive or bad hab-
its; habits which call for money, but give
no adequate return. Tobacco, alcohol, or
any kind OF stimulent which does not make
bone, blood or nerve tissue is a bad habit,
an extravaganza habit. Some pleasures are
dangerous, for health and streng tn
are called upon to support them.
Alcohol may stimulate the brain Just as the
lash may stimulate the speed of the horse,
but it does not give any more brain or mus
Gle, but in the end weakens.
Then, to the point, let every young man
who desires TO wed give up habits which call
for money that does not pay. Look ahead
and lay up money before you think of mar
riage; have a sinking fund TO begin life
upon. In a city like Savannah, where living
is high and wages low, young man should
make it point TO Law up from 500 TO $500
year as single man, if he contemplates
marriage. Don't be in hurry about get
ting married until the brain and body are
well matured and developed, and when a
man Is mentally and physically himself
and he is that at 2S years, when he enters his
fourth septennial. In the delicate relation
ship of marriage brain power, thought,
feelings and habits are transmitted. lem
psraments, dispositions and tastes enter
largely into the makeup of domestic life
and happiness. Young man of 81, % and

habits and disappatlons of all sorts. A girl
does run a risk to marry a young man of

from 81 TO 90. Something wrong some
where or there are drawbacks which forbid
him to become benedict. A man is some-

making of his bride cook or washwoman
from necessity. No young man of nice
feelings would desire to take girl from a
home where she has had comfort and ease
to come down to the hard realities of a life
of physical labor. When poverty chills,
love grows cold and has an ague; for want
is a cold rsasoner. Love can bear a good
deal, can suffer good deal, but it cannot
smile and be happy on an empty stomach,
