ESTEEM   you   against   his   judgment;   and   although   he   is   not   capable   of 

using   you   ill;   yet   you   will   in   time   grow   a   thing   indifferent   and   perhaps

contemptible;   unless   you   can   supply   the   loss   of   youth   and   beauty   with 

more durable qualities。         You have but a very few years to be young and 

handsome in the eyes of the world; and as few months to be so in the eyes 

of a husband who is not a fool; for I hope you do not still dream of charms 

and raptures; which marriage ever did; and ever will; put a sudden end to。' 

     From the anxiety we express for the proper behaviour of the fortunate 

lady after marriage; it may possibly be inferred that the young gentleman 

to whom we have so delicately alluded; is no other than ourself。                  Without 

in any way committing ourself upon this point; we have merely to observe; 

that we are ready to receive sealed offers containing a full specification of 

age;   temper;   appearance;   and   condition;   but   we   beg   it   to   be   distinctly 

understood that we do not pledge ourself to accept the highest bidder。 

     These   offers   may   be   forwarded   to   the   Publishers;   Messrs。   Chapman 

and Hall; London; to   whom all pieces of plate and other testimonials   of 

approbation from the young ladies generally; are respectfully requested to 

be addressed。
