A Few Useful Bules.

It is easy, of coarse, to keep your huebend’s love. In the first places never agree with him. When at home, keep yourself in a “bine” state. Take from him all the money he can spare, and even more. Flirt with every man you meet, if he—the man —gives you a chance. At the same time, be frantically jealous of him. Snub him and tyrannise over him in the presence of hi* bachelor friends before whom he is solicitous of appearing as the moet enviable man in existence, and to whoa he is particularly anxious to rehearse the delights of Benedictdom. The mortification he will feel at the frustration of his laudable desire will most assuredly produce a reaction in your favor. Should all other means seem likely to fail, become violently attached to your dear parents, and if they reside in a different city from that in which you live, spend all the time you poeeibly can with them, naking life dismal while you are at home with moans because you can’t see your dear parents every day. Should your husband manifest any dissatisfaction with this, open a private deluge at once and tell him that you never knew before that you had married a brute. By using all these means, your object kill soon be accomplished.

Few men reject girts who are ready to be wooed. The custom prevalent among a certain dais of young ladies of taking, directly, or indirectly, the attentions of young gentlemen, is not an admirable custom. “My son,” said s lady to me, not long since, “is much prejudiced against a young girl, whom I admire, because she is constantly sending him notes, inviting him to be nar escort here and there, and planning to have ■Him with her.” A modest, dignified reserve, which is .neither prudery nor affectation, should distinguish your manner to gentlemen. Too great kmiliarity and too evident pleasure in the society of young men are errors into which no delicate and pure-minded girl should 28, if she dedreto retain th?rrepedtof the oppomte sex. - .
