FEMALE REMARKS.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.
Dear girls, are yti in search ov a hus
band P
This iz a pumper, and yu are not re
quested tew say “lTes" out loud, but are
expekted tew throw yure eyes down onto
the earth, az tho yu was looking for a pin,
and reply tew the interrogatory with a
kinder draulin sigh, az tho yu waz eatin
an oyster, juice and all, off "from the half
shell.
Not tu press so tender a theme until it
bektims a thorn in the flesh, we will pre
soom (tew avoid argument) that yu are on
the lookout for sumthing in the male line
tew boost yu in the uphill ov life, and tew
keep his eyes on the brichin when yu be
gin tew go down the other side ov the
mountain. Let me. give yu sum small
chunks ov advice how tew spot your few
tcr husband.
1. The man who iz gealons ov every
little attensbun which yu git from sum
other fellow, yu will find, after yu are
married tew him, luvs himself more than
he duz yu, and what yu mistook for sol
issitude, yu will discover, haz changed
into indifference. Jealousy isn't a heart
disease; it is a liver complaint.
-. A mustash iz not indispensable: it
iz only a little more hair, and iz a good
deal like moss and other excrcssences—
often duz the best on sile that wont raize
anything else. Dont fergit that these
things which you admire in a phellow
before marriage, yu will probably have to
admire in a husband after; and a mustash
will git to be very weak diet after a long
time.
II husbands could be took on trial,
az Irish cooks are, two-thirds ov them
would probably be returned; hut there
don't seem to he enny law for this. There
fore, girls, yu will see that, after yu git
a man, yu have got tew keep him, even if
yu loos on him. Consequently, il'yu hav
got enny cold vittles in the house, try him
on them once iu a while during scouring
season, and if lie swallows them well, aud
says he will take sum more, he iz a man
who, when blue Monday cums, will wash
well.
4. Don’t marry a phellar who iz alwus
a tolling how hiz mother duz things. It
iz az hard tew suit these men az it iz to
wean a young one.
5. If a young man kan beat you plaving
on a planner, and kaut hear a fish Lorn
playing on the street without turning a
hack summerset on akount of the music
that iz iu him, i say ship him; he migh
answer to tend a baby, hut if yu set him
hoeing out the garden, you will find yu
hav got to do it yourself. A man whose
wholheft lies in music (and not very hefty
at that) ain't no better lor a husband than
a seedlitz powder; hut if lie luvs to listen
while yu sing sum gentle ballad, yu will
find him mellow aud soft. But don't mar
ry ennybody for jist one virtew enny
quicker than yu would flop a man for jist
one fault.
6. It iz one ov the most tnffest things
for a feniail to he an old maid successfully.
A grate inennyhaz tried it and made a had *
jub ov it. Everybody seems to look upon
old maids jist as they do on dried herbs—
in the garret, handy for sickness—and
therefore, girls, jt aint a mistake that yu
should be willing to swop yurselt oph,
with sum true fellow for a husband. The
swop iz a good one, hut don’t swop for
enny mail who iz rospeektable because hiz
fathar iz. You had better he an old maid
for 4 thousand years, and then join the
Shakers, than to bnv repentance at his
price. No woman ever made this trade
who didn’t get either a phool a mean cuss
or a cheep clown for a husband.
7. In digging down into this subject, I
find that the digging growes harder the
further I git. It iz much esier tew in
form yu who not tew many than who tew
tor the reason there is more ov them.
1 don’t think yu will follow my advice
if I give it, and so I’ll keep it, for I look
upon advice as I do upon caster ile—— a
mean dose tew give and a mean dose tew
take.
But I must say one thing, girls, or spile.
If yu kan find a bright-eyed, healthy and
well-balasted hoy, who looks upon poverty
as a sassy child looks upon wealth—who
had rather sit down on the curbstun in
front ov the 5th avenue hotel, and eat a
ham sandwitch than to go inside and nin
into debt for his dinner and toothpick—
one who is armed with that kind of pluck
that mistakes a defeat for a victory, my
adviceiz tew take him, body ami soul—
snare him at once; for he iz a stray trout,
a breed very skase in our waters.
