cessaries of life, terminated at once her existence and her miseries. As for the monster who had thus blight- ed the prospects of a lender and con- fidiug female, he soon after was com- pelled to flee from his country in dread of the vengeance ot its out- raged laws. . The moral of this too true tale is, that young ladies should beware of forming engagements with genteel- looking young men hanging loose up-I

l on society, who do not become ac-,

quainted with them in a regular man- ner, and whose addresses do not meet I with the approbation oftheir parents. i In the case ofa young lady offortune, ‘ or with “ good cxpeetatiotis,”.tliis danger is to be especially avoided, for those contingencies render it im- possible for her to discover whether she is the object ofa real attachment, or only the means contemplated tor enriching a needy and perhaps un- principled adventurer. The state of public feeling on this subject is not what it should be. Whether from the erroneous colouring too often giv- en to it in works of ﬁction, or from a natural pleasure in seeing those above us degraded to an inferior station,ma-' ny persons like very well to hear ol a penniless young man having been MICCESSIIII in forming a clandestine alliance with a young lady either pos- sessed or with prospects of fortune. Our sympathies, we must confess,go all the other way. We conceive, that, to practise on the affections of an ignorant and inexperienced female, and induce her to do that which will bring pain and humiliation into the whole circle ofher connections, isno

honourable way of bettering one's selt'in life—that, on the contrary, he who injures his neighbour iii this manner, is only restrained by the law from injuring him in some other way, less severe perhaps to the injured, though not so safe to the injurer.-—- Marriages, to be happy, must be nearly equal-equal alike in the for- tunes of the individuals, and in their ages. tempers, and other personal qualities; and it can certainly never be good for either party that this rule is infringed in any respect. We, therefore consider every youth who deliberately inveigles a woman of su- perior rank into matrimony as sim- ply a prudent kind of rogue, who seeks for advantages to bimself,at the risk of misery to the person chiefly concerned, and at the expense of wounded feelings and a certain kind of degradation to all connected wrth her.
