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.

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 ing.
