RULES OF COURTSHIP.
The manly youth who would a maiden woo Will profit if he keeps these rules in view* Be not precipitate, nor yet too slow ; Be not abashed at a rebuff or so. If she is unresponsive, distant* oold> The wooer should be delicately bold.. If she is timid, diffident and shy, Don't fret : she'll find more courage by* and by. L^t not her first refusal give distress ; A woman's f no' is often meant for yes.
No news is good new, but it doesn't do to run a newspaper on these lines. A newppaper has been sued for libel by a widow £©r speaking of her deceased husband as having "gone to a happier home." Some people aie very hard to please.
