Something for the Girls. —Men who are worth having, want women for their wives. A bundle of gewgaws, bound with a string of flats and quavers, sprinkled with Cologne, and set in a carmine saucer—this is no help for a man who expects to raise a family, of boys on veritable bread and meat. The piano and the lace frame are good in their places; and so are ribbons, frills, and tinsel; but you cannot make a dinner of the former, nor a bed blanket of the latter. And awful as the idea may seem to you, both dinner and bed-blankets are necessary to domestic happiness. Life I as its realities as well as its fancies, but you make it all a matter of decoration, remembering tbe tassels and inr ainf, but forgetting tbe bedstead. Suppose a young man of good sense, and of course good prospects* to be looking for a wife—what chance have you to becbosen? You may pap bin*, or trap him, or catch him; but bow much better to make it an object for him .te catch you? Render yourself wprthy of catching, and you will need up shrewd mothers or managing brothers to help you jo find a market. —American Courier.
