V The May 15th number of the Exponent contains an article entitled'Young Ladies and Matrimony," which Kthink every young lady should read, and follow the advice there given. The writer says, "a woman who marries a man that is her inferior, wron ps herself her familvV and her whole life, for he will most likely drag her down to his level." It must be bo in. the very nature of things. A woman who has no other object or aim than to live the life of a true Latter-daSaint, and work out for herself an exaltation in the OelestiaLEjngdom-o- f GocH ... i ; it . uu iccio iuji, weigni, oi tne responsibility y -- .1 . ir UIVu ouu aw the spirits. of all . men; He knows their hearts, I .1 i seerec tnougnts, i ineur. aims, tneir. u yu licrseu. wueii sue enters into the marriage covenant, to bear the souls of men, heirs to the everlasting Priesthood, makes no other calculation than tobB one with her husband in all thing?, for "except ye are one ye are not mine," said our Savior.

Young . ladies will ask, how can we safely choose a husband if men are so deceitful? There are many safeguards thrown around the children of the l Latter-da- y - Saintsj which' thoseC the world are not blest with. First,- their. parents generally rive them good counsel. which if they heed will lead them in the path of saiety, then tnose to whom they wish to be united, liye in some warder branch of the Church where there, are presiding officers who can recommend them if they have been faithful in ; the discharge of their duties in the. church, (and if they have not they had better have nothing to do with them) then last, but not least, there is the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, that has been conferred upon every soul that has been baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, by those holding the authority of the Holy Priesthood, a constant source of revelation to those who nourish and cherish it and give heed to its promptings; what ! can young ladies, receive revelations? Yes; just as well as the President of the Church, or the Bishop of a wardvcan in the affairs that come within their sphere, but only as pertains to their own affairs in life, and what is of more importance to them than ., choosing a partner for life? no I for time and all eternity. Pray about it? ' Yes, is it not as important the Lord should 'guide us in the choice of a husband as it is that he should protect us through the dav from accident, disease. and death? Pray as" well as watch She says, ii ii .uittxxjr iur io ve, respect is an very weu, ana that we should have and hold, but it will ,not-answin place of "affection." I agree with 1 but there is no lasting love that is not her, based on respect, we may love a person for their, fancied virtues, and when .we find an of them we lose the respect we entertained for them, then love must die. "The flower of love can never flourish except it is v moistened by the dews of admiration and res- - . pect."
