BEWARE GIRLS.
Witt are girls injudicious in their toleration of dissipated young men? It is very often the case that a thoroughly wood girl will deliberately tnarry a man who makes no secret of bad habits. What can she expect but misery to ensue. A life partnership should not be entered into without at least as much caution as men display in making business combinations for limited periods. No man selects his business partner from among men who drink much liquor or have other bad habits. As for manners anti the -ability to make one-self agreeable, they have not of themselves influence enough among men to secure a dollar’s worth of credit, or justify anyone in believing their possessor on oath. A girl who is old enough or shrewd enough to have learned what are the standards by which men are tested, would bo far surer of a happy life if she were to make her parents select a husband in the prosiest manner possible, than if she were to make her own selection, in the manner peculiar to girls. A life partnership is not easily dissolved.
