AS it seems to be the inevitable for tune of most girls to get married soon- CT or later, perhaps a fey hints upon the choice of husband will interest some of the young ladies who may 1 chance to read this. Before you link your fortunes with 1 any young man, know something about his position, connections, pursuits, habits and associates. Before any young man has a chance of making known his intentions, find out wheth- CT he is worth having. Seek one in whom dwell good qualities.
 Beware of transient young men. The allurements of dandy Jack, with a gold chain round his neck, walk ing stick in his paw, and three-penny cigar in his mouth, some honest tai lors coat on his back, and brainless though fancy skull, never can make up the loss of a good fathers home, and a good mothers counsel; their af- factions last, while that of a young man of this class is lost in the wane of the honeymoon.
 Don't marry spendthrift, or lazy, shiftless young man. To avoid mis- takes select one who has a trade, and one who is a good workman at his trade. Remember he will have to keep you as we'll as himself, in food, clothes, home, etc. Whatever poets may say or sing of the sweets of poverty it is painful thing to be poor; and no man is justified in expecting you to consent to be married until he gives you fair evidence that he has counted the cost of keeping you.
 If an honest man is the noblest work of God, then avoid any man who can not look you fairly in the face and speak out boldly the thoughts of his heart and mind. Let him be man of sense, and he will soon learn to ac- commodate himself to your peculiari- ties, just as you will find it needful to drop into some of his ways.
 Lastly, in the choice of a husband seek one whom you can most heartily and devotedly love. Remember that a true union in life is and ever must be a union of hearts. Marriage should be the perfected life of love between two kindred or suitably adapted na' lures. It should never be a mere mer- cenary bargain between property own CTS, or simply a society affair between two exquisite fools Marry the mar whom you feel and believe will make you the most happy.
 ''Wedded love is founded on esteem, Which the real merits of the mind en gage,
 For these are charms which never cal decay"
