No woman will be likely 10 dispute with US
when we assert that marriage is her destiny.
A man may possibly fill up some sort Of an
existence without loving; but woman with
nothing 10 love, cherish, care for, and minister
to, is an anomaly in the universe, an existence
without an object. IL is as natural for wo.


man TO have some one to look 10 for protection,
some one TO look 10 for advice and assistance,
as to breathe Without il no woman ever
was or ever can be happy II is the want Of
her nature, and nothing can satisfy her heart
with such void untitled Now, with the ex-
cepiion Of some occasional irregularities in the
in the relative proportions Of the sexes, pro-
duced by circumstances, such as the settle
ment Of new countries, there is no reason why
every man should not have wife, and every
woman husband; and this would easily be
brought about by the exercise Of more com
mon sense and less ambition. Each sex is
looking up for something above its own sphere.
The son Of an industrious and successful me-
chanic must be professional man or mer-
chant instead of following in his fathers foot
sleps-and this is folly the first When he
looks for wife, the neat industrious daughter
of mechanic like his father is not good enough
for him; he must make love to some fine lady


who is one age in advance, that is, her grand


father was mechanic instead Of her father, a
very aristocratic distinction. On the other
hand, the girl who works for her living, earn
ing it by her honest labors, would not deign
TO encourage the addresses of laboring man I;
she would set her cap for gentleman, for
sooth. The mechanics daughter, educated on
her fathers earnings 10 be fine lady, encour-
ages the attentions of sci OF fops and dang
lers, who drive honest men away from her in
disgust, and she becomes the victim of some
sorry sharper or shallow fool Now this is
all wrong-deplorably, wrelchedly wrong
Girls should know that men superior to them
selves, lin education and position, do moi al
ways associate with them for good. Men
should know that by marrying girls educated
in habits Of life above their fortunes, they are
not likely to have good wives. A little sound
sense will enable any man to see that it is bet
ter 10 have a..wife grateful for more than she
expected than grumbing at less. It is de-
lightful going up the hill of fortune; but hor-
rible, jolting, aggravating work TO come down.
