Since the extraordinary display , of edifying verbiage in the last issue, <, the author has been seriously eon- ' .sideling the subject in hand, and after duly weighing all facts in his ! possession, which by the way are j few and with no certain foundation, has concluded that his knowledge is even more limited than he at; , first realized ; said limitations being ( the facts, that his meagre experience precludes positive statements, and that women are of such varied I and varying natures that no set rule j may be formulated. However, believing that nothing is ever done] without an attempt, he is going to | hazard his reputation and make the attempt. Remembering that a young man 1 should never use Mattery, vain J boastings, and coarse jokes, nor i should he get on his knees to a 1 woman, let us now see what he I sliouM do. Of course, we speak ot > 1 man's wooing, for women never do J tin- like, or if they do they should I not and are not t<> be considered. > ! The proper use of her charms is not 1 accounted wooing?that is simply ?., being herself. I The prerequisite of all wooing is 'opportunity for conversation and association. Without this opportunity, wooing would neecssaarily be I impossible. With it, man learns the nature of the woman with whom he associates; and at the same time learns more of his own nature. By association with others and eompar| ison, as has been said before in this eolumn, we learn ourselves and reach an < -tiniate of our own selves. In these associations a man learns the kind- of natures possessed by women, and in so doing is able to determine just what kind of nature will best mate with hi- own. It i.a gradual ami half uneon-eii.il^vroee.-s, Working botti ny*.,, feeling and reason. This i- true of sensible wooing only, for when a man is swent oil his feet by a woman's IItrinity <>f face or form, Of falls desperately in low with a pair of pretty eye-, or a head of beautiful hair, it is not sense or reason at all, hut the wildest and most unreasonable fanatacism. 1 say it is a slow process working upon hoth feeling and j reason. Then when a man's feelj ing hid- him woo the one decided upon, and his reason sanctions the choice?in other words when feeling and reason agree he may hesah in proceeding to win the chosen oh! jeet of his all'eclions. Now' jiow tc i do it? . . , ? character that "e may learn your nature. Nothing in nak ! ture is single and everything in it{ self is incomplete; hence if your nature he what hers lacks, and if i she he ahle to judge aright, there J will he fully as much desire on her part to make complete, or to unite the two likes, as then; is desire on J j your part. The principal task,then, of a suitor is to reveal his nature " " and let it he passed upon. Custom B~ \ and tradition require, of course,thai i a little additional I'n-ivinir I... ""O "J w"" this may he employed in large oi small degree, according to the taste? of tin- persons concerned. ^ In this revelation of character,tin ait < f deception has hern and imuch practiced. Men, and women I too, are .-ii h accomplished actors that they can ma>k their own true selves and pretend or assume most nohle roles. Hut that too fs in the art of wooing; "all's fair in love and war"?hut, just what the re?' Milts will he, no one will Venture to ? jsay. When the wooing is over, the =ri prize won, and the unmasking hegins, men and women hotli regret sorely that they masked at all. That is their lookout. ; Sincerity is prol?ahiy the next most important item in the list of "necessaries" in loveniaking. There are no tricks that surpass downright sincerity; as in oratory, sincerity is the one rule. ! "That which issues from the heart alone, Will heiul the hearts of others to voiir own '' " says the great (ioethe; and that rule applies here. And the necessary cause, of which sincerity i< a result, is of course real love. Our own Tiuirod says: Love's the lover's only magic, Truth the very subtlest art; Love that feigns, and lips that flatter Win no modest heart." Then, young man, first of all be ; sincere in your love, for insincerity never begets love. And since you love, speak it in tones sweet and gentle, appeal to the highest in woman's nature,nev- i er flatter, but withhold not just praise; and withal, lei reason direct your thoughts, words and ae- j tions. Woman's nature is more i gentle, more tender than man's; ' -? hence, lie lillist be especially eon- ! siderate of her feelings. Small oc curenees, that to man's rough ua-i turc seem of no consequence, may 1 give her much anguish and pain; [' D. 0. K. K. In Spartanburg.

These precedents should' suffice; land 11 tliey do not, there is the cx' ample of Kingsley to he quoted. I lie was a parish priest, and his ^| standards and ideals were high; hut he also enjoyed his pipe when his day's work was done, and did : | not hesitate to say so. ,; ================== and it behooves man to so learn her nature that lie may not err in this wise. (Jentleness i< admirable in i man as well as in woman; and it is I ' reasonable that this trait in man will appeal to a similar one in woman. I?y no means must woman be fed upon a continuous supply of praise, hut a show of appreciation on tl e part of man is a point n his favor. I A woman is inclined to believe a man brutish if he i.s dead to all beauty and is never awakened by any of the small attractive features or ways that she possesses. Let a man be open-eyed,observant and in addition, capable of appreciating.! 1 As a foundation for this, let him ; possess tenderness of feeling, keen \ perception and an appreciation of the beautiful in life. Now, there! is no sense in carrying this to ex- ' treme; for when a man becomes! womanish, he is as good as lost. | Let him not lose his identity as a St rone man* onlv 1?him capable of appreciating woman's nature. Therefore young man, the art of wooing consists of loving truly and speaking well that love. I/>veyour sweetheart, then tell her about it? that is all.

That is how to win a sensible! woman; as for the silly kind, 1 haven't a word to say. It makes me tired to even think about them; and as for how they are to be ivooed, I don't care a darn. rM^vZ^B CTB 0?1 1 I UNDERTAKER AND EMBALMER.
