How to Avoid Bad Husbands.
1. Never marry for wealth. A wo-j
mans life conssloth not in the things
she pos^essetn.
-- Nover marry r fop who struts
about dandv like, in his gloves ami
rntii. s with a silver cane and rlur
>n his ting-rs. Beware!
3. Nwver marry a niggard, close
fisted mean sordid wretch, who save.-
every penny, or spends it grudginglv. |
Take care lest he stint vou tv death. !
4. Never niarrv a sirangi r whose
character is not known or tested.—
S'-mc 1' mules jump right into the fire \
with their eves wide open.
5. Never marry a mope or a drone, i
one who drawls and draggles through
life, one foot aft - r another, and let
thing- take their own course.
6. Never marry a man who treats ;
Ins mother >r sister unkindly. Such ;
treatment is a sure indication of a
mean and wicked man.
7. Never on auv account, niarrv a
gambler or a pr-fane person, on- wh
speaks light ;v of < Jod or re] Ol. —
Such a man eau nev< .
husband.
s. Never marry a slov n, a mat.
who is n- gligeul of hi- per- i. or !•;-
dross, and filthy in his habits. The
external appearance is an ind- x to
the heart.
