es for exercising parental and connubial
love, in which so much enjoyment is taken, cut off. But the domestic
feelings and relations, as now arranged, must strike every philosophical
observer as inimitably beautiful and perfect--as the offspring of infinite
Wisdom and Goodness combined.

2. AMATIVENESS AND ITS COMBINATIONS constitute their origin, counterpart,
and main medium of manifestation. Its primary function is connubial love.
From it, mainly, spring those feelings which exist between the sexes as
such and {123} result in marriage and offspring. Combined with the higher
sentiments, it gives rise to all those reciprocal kind feelings and
nameless courtesies which each sex manifests towards the other; refining
and elevating both, promoting gentility and politeness, and greatly
increasing social and general happiness.

3. RENDERS MEN MORE POLITE TO WOMEN.--So far from being in the least gross
or indelicate, its proper exercise is pure, chaste, virtuous, and even an
ingredient in good manners. It is this which renders men always more polite
towards women than to one another, and more refined in their society, and
which makes women more kind, grateful, genteel and tender towards men than
women. It makes mothers love their sons more than their daughters, and
fathers more attached to their daughters. Man's endearing recollections of
his mother or wife form his most powerful incentives to virtue, study, and
good deeds, as well as restraints upon his vicious inclinations; and, in
proportion as a young man is dutiful and affectionate to his mother, will
he be fond of his wife; for, this faculty is the parent of both.

4. ALL SHOULD CULTIVATE THE FACULTY OF AMATIVENESS OR CONNUBIAL
LORE.--Study the personal charms and mental accomplishments of the other
sex by ardent admirers of beautiful forms, and study graceful movements and
elegant manners, and remember, much depends upon the tones and accents of
the voice. Never be gruff if you desire to be winning. Seek and enjoy and
reciprocate fond looks and feelings. Before you can create favorable
impressions you must first be honest and sincere and natural, and your
conquest will be sure and certain.

Love and Common-Sense.

1. Do you love her because she goes to the altar with her head full of book
learning, her hands of no earthly use, save for the piano and brush;
because she has no conception of the duties and responsibilities of
