Girls, Be Careful!

Never marry a man who only his love for you to recommend him. It is very fascinating, but it doesnot make the man. If he is not otherwise what he should be, you will never be happy. The most perfect man who did not love you should never be your husband. But though marriage without love is terrible, love onlv will not do. If the man is dishonorable to other men, or mean, or given to any vice, the time will come when you will either loathe him or sink to his level. It is hard to remember, amidst kisses and praises, that there is anything else i n the world to be dene- or-thought of but love-making; but the days of life are many, and the husband must be a guide to’ be trusted—a companion, a friend as Well as a lover. Many a girl has married a man whom she knew to be anything good, because he loved her so.” And the flame has died out on the hearthstone home before long, and beside it she has been sitting with one that she could never hope would lead her heavenward—or who, if she followed him as a Wife should, would guide her steps to perdition. Marriage is a solemn thing - a choice for life; be careful in the choosing.— Belgravia.
