SELECTIONS.
I low to Get Married*
Do you wish your husband to
be a ronn of sense or a coxcomb ?
tho first bold every species of nff-
fection in dread and abhorencc.
Be, if possible what yon would
wish to appear, but never attempt
to seem what you are not. The
affectation of wealth by dressing
beyond ono’s means is a very com
mon folly, and one replete with
mischief.
If a female can reconcile it to
her oonsoienco to deceive a man in
respeot to her worldly oireninstm
ces, she will seldom find it practi
cable to mislead liiin on that
ground into an offer of wedlock.
Suitors, with whom fortune is a
primary object, are generally scru
tinising and circumspect in such
mntters. If you wisii to net. mar
ried and to ntnrry well, keep not.
too nnioli company, nor be too of
ten away from home at parties and
other plnces of amusement; study
to bo amiable, not merely to seem
so ; give some attention to domes
tic economy, nvoid extravagance
in nli things, cultivate your mind,
slum all levity of manners, perser-
ving nt the snnie’time a proper de
gree of cheerfulness.
Tf these rules will not.avail, sup
pose the facts to* bn asrninst you)
resign yourself patiently, remem
bering, always that it is bettor to
lie a happy old maid than a mis
erable wife. Never expect felioity
from nay mnrriage which is
brought about by improper menus
nr by any kind of dereptlon nr ur-
tifico. Mntrimnny is too serious
and permanent a thing to bo tri
fled with.
“Now will you go?’’ observed
Mrs. Jtibliuk.
Emitting a short, rasping
laugh, tho burdened umn went to
the bureau, opened the drawer and
quietly took threfrom the six shirts
that remained to him, and before
the horrified eyes of his abused
wife, tore them with seeming calm-
mss into shreds. When lie lmd
completed the destruction of his
own linen the man, with the same
terribly collected manner, opened
another drnwor and commenced
the wmk upon his wife’s wnrdrobe.
Tlie shriek which burst from her
lips before she fainted brought in
tile other lodgers,
Ami this accounts for tho pecu
liar manner which .lobtink hat

All fish arc not to ho caught
with the same bait nor with the

—they are captured without muoli

family they are not to be taken
without a great deal of mancour-

Neither of these sorts make the
heat of husbands ; for if a man nas
not sense enough to discover arti
fices, or to despise it when discov-
eil, he is scarcely worth the trou
ble whioh must be employed to
captivate him. Plain dealing is
the best policy in matters of love
and courtship, as well as in every
thing else,
Elegant accomplishments, music
painting, dancing, cto., are often
considered as the strongest attrac
tions to young men who are in
search of a partner for life, and yet,
perhaps, a good husband is obtain
ed by danoing, drawing or sing

if substantial, like the desert after
the dinner—by themselves they
are all desert and no dinner.
