Two girls in Jersey City wrote
1--WE are sure that We are the right
girls those young men are looking
for. We think that We could surely
make them happy We are tired and
sick OF the sort or young men who
hang around on street corners and
drink beer and then eat cloves before
coming TO call upon Us. This Is sad
old world and we are getting very
old. My chum is nearly 81 and l am
a year or so younger; but we have
come TO the conclusion that II is bet
ter to marry honest men who per
haps have not as much education as
some In the city. but who have had
spunk enough 10 get together little
money and a few acres of land an
who want TO marry educated women
&c be the mothers OF their children.
A Brooklyn girl writes:

old, dark hair aud complexion and
loving heart II this is true ] would
like very much TO hear from one or
them"

willing 20 work.
Il am a Yankee, but ! have seen
this town 20 year after year in the
same old rut and no excitement.
Why, | would be willing to go as
missionary 10 Timbuctoo II ] was sure
there would be any variety 10 the
life would like a husband who
would say something original now and
then, even II he beat me. l have been
good all my life-and they say good
ness is it's own reward. Well am

so good butter wouldn't melt in their
mouths. I'd like TO meet a gunman-
or a burglar. or a cattle rustler, just
to change the monotony or my life.
Il am a homely girl, they say, but
7 notice that all the men turn and
look after me when tlAy meet me on
the road-but they never come back
TO speak a second word. have known
some very handsome men who were
happy and contented with wives who
were called homely. Though / am
homely am healthy and strong and
buxom, and / laugh a good deal-and
my old sweetheart used TO tell me
that when | laughed ! was positively
so 1 laughed a good
deal

there in Canada reilly wants a wife
