Love causes a young man to speak and act in a ridiculous manner even in the presence of her whom he loves.

It ought ever to be borne in mind by a lady, that a gentleman seldom attaches much value on that which has cost him nothing to gain as his possession. Therefore, if you are anxious for him to have a high regard upon your love, lavish it not too freely and foolishly on him, but be chary of displaying your fondness.

The female heart is generally soft and tender and is easily susceptible of emotions, which are soon awakened, and wrought upon by flattery and praise.

The requisites which are most essential in a lover are:-

An agreeable person
Accomplished manners
Sweetness of temper and disposition
Free from levity and anything bordering on the ridiculous
An unblemished reputation
A mind stored with virtuous principles

With a partner of this kind, none need fear to venture upon the steam of matrimony.
