WHOM TO MARRY.
Never marry because the person has a handsome face or a well turned figure ; for we soon become insensible to angelic forms and faces. Handsome is as handsome does. If the countenance has life and intellegenee if the walk is -ndictive of firmness, the carriage modest, and the whole appearance proves the professor to have a clear mind, a pure heart and a religious soul, that persons is worth all the skin-deep beauties —men and women —that ever went up to the marriage -altar, with nothing but their good looks to commend them If the admired one is rich in real estate, bank stock or railroad shares, do not let them prove an insurmountable objection but if poor like yourself, so much the .better. There is nothing like a young couple about the age of twenty-two, starting in life with fond hearts, -clear heads, easy consciences, and empty pockets. You have something to hope for, to to work for, to live for ! Your early struggles will only bind yeur hearts closer together. Fidelity, good humour, and complacency of temper outlive the charms of a fine face, and make the decay of it invisible.
