gagged to be married to ones own cousin OF
most intimate friend !; I tell you, girls, it:
all luck, after all. It depends altogether
upon circumstances whether or not you ev'
er make the acquaintance of the man you
love. By the way, I ought to remark just
here, that young lady should endeavor to
place her affections upon one whose ac'
quaintance she has already formed and
whose sentiments she understands. But,
%, my it is so hard to school and discip.
line womau's heart. Aint it; girls?


However, don't drink poison, or throw
yourself into the pond, because your love
affairs do not go exactly according to youl
wishes. I'm quite philosopher, girls
indeed I am-and my advice to every
body with headaches and heart-aches, is
quite simple: Keep cool, do the best you
can to remedy matters, and trust to God.


aNever say die !'-never allow any
thing to unnerve your hearts, but cheer up
and take courage, for, if you try to do all
in your power to rend the clouds and let
out the warm, bright sunshine all around
your path, many withered flower will be
revived, and the snow about the door o!
your hearts will soon, very soon be thaw,
ed, and the green clover and wild daisy
will look all the fresher and prettier be.

Young men, don't-please don't-make
fools of yourself, because some heartless
woman has so far forgotten her exalted
position as to triAe with the holiest feelings
of your heart. If she has deceived you,
ifshe has broken the sacred VOWS of love,
and finally discarded you, take off your hat
and raise it high above your head with a
hearty hurrah for common sense. Con-
gratulate yourself that you have so easily
got clear of such heartless woman, and
do not for moment imagine, that such
creatures are true representatives of all the
girls in the world. I know that you will
have struggle, for the heart of man can

o my! I do wish everybody would try
to be happy, that the. days were longer,
and the nights shorter, in our hearts! ]
declare my reader, I sometimes think that,
asa people, we are very much given tc
grumbliDg, and that our dispositions are
becoming morose, sour, fretful and all that
kind of thing. .,. ..: .


There is much left in the world for which
our hearts should be profoundly grateful
The daily experience is not all dark and
sad, as some would have US believe, bu,
blessings as thick as the dust of the desert
and as bright as the stars of heaven are con-
tinually falling into our lives and hard in
sensible hearts.


But, cannot make it otherwise, though
I wrote thousand columns; and as


"Little boats should keep near Shore"
perhaps I should get into deep water if
I do not bring these remarks to close.
In 80 doing, I would remind that 'laugh-
ter loving young girl, that used to stand on
his head when he was boy, to keep his
promise, and follow me in all my literary (O

anxious to hear what you have to say on
this subject.


Good bye, dear reader, but Never say
