MARION STEPHENS. Somebody has snid, that first love, is usually first nonsense; and somebody was nenrer the truth in his estimate, than he generally is, on matters of importance. T o be in love nt least once a month, is the privilege of all girls be- tween the ages of twelve and twenty, each new sentiment swallowing all the rest in its inten- sity, nod of course, the only first love, During these years, love and romance tire so complete- ly blended that it would require a nice judg- ment to discriminate between the two ; there- fore, a marriage founded upon so slender a basis, mast needs he productive of after mise- ry. Until the age of twenty, no girl, however superior in intellect, can lie aware of the capa- bilities id' her own heart. T ill that period, dreams supply the place of reality, and their in- have made your hnppiness a study for years, therefore in this must important crisis of your fate, their councils should guide, their know- ledge judge, their wisdom direct. I do not mean to infer that your own heart should have no share in thu election of a companion lor life, hut before you allow your affections to he too much engrossed, their bosoms should be- come the repository of your secret. Could that degree of restraint existing between pa- rents and children he eradicated, how much misery might he spared to the world ; hut wc never know the value of parental council, till the hard lessons of life have stamped the knowledgo with tears upon our hearts ; we never fully appreciate their anxiety for our welfare, until its influence is lost to us for- ever. And r.ow girls, you who think of be- coming wives, (mid who of you do not) guard against sorrow, study w ell the character of the man you are about to marry. You will not love him the less for practicing n little philus- ophy.or find your after happiness lessened by a previous knowledge of the peculiarities of his disposition.

Yet sweetness and affection made It scent a fairy hall.

As sweet the home, so sweet the maid, As graceful and as good •

Somebody has snid, that first love, is usually first nonsense; and somebody was nenrer the tru th in his estimate, than he generally is, on matters o f importance. T o be in love nt least once a month, is the priv ilege o f all g irls be­tween the ages o f twelve and twenty, each new sentiment sw allow ing all the rest in its inten­sity, nod o f course, the only first love, D uring these years, love and romance tire so complete­ly blended that it would require a nice ju d g ­ment to discrim inate between the two ; there­fore, a marriage founded upon so slender a basis, mast needs he productive o f after mise­ry. U n til the age o f twenty, no g irl, however superior in in tellect, can lie aware o f the capa­bilities id' her own heart. T i l l that period, dreams supply the place o f reality, and their in-

I do not mean to in fer that your own heart should have no share in thu election o f a companion lo r life , hut before you a llow your affections to he too much engrossed, the ir bosoms should be­come the repository o f your secret. Could that degree o f restraint existing between pa­rents and children he eradicated, how much misery m ight he spared to the w orld ; hut wc never know the value o f parental council, t ill the hard lessons o f life have stamped the knowledgo w ith tears upon our hearts ; we never fu lly appreciate the ir anxiety for our welfare, un til its influence is lost to us fo r­ever. And r.ow g irls, you who think o f be­coming wives, (mid who o f you do not) guard against sorrow, study w ell the character o f the man you are about to m arry. You w ill not love him the less for practicing n litt le philus- o ph y.o r find your after happiness lessened by a previous knowledge o f the peculiarities o f his disposition.
