klessly or
passively walking past you, all that remains for you at that moment is
to concentrate your thought, and send it into him as before explained,
and, to your astonishment, if he was passive, he will look at you, and
now is your time to send a thrill to his heart, by looking him
carelessly, though determinately, in the eyes, and praying him, with
all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, that he may read your
thought and receive your true love, which God designs we should bear
one another. This accomplished, and you need not, and must not, wait
for a cold-hearted, fashionable, and popular Christian introduction;
neither should you hastily run into his arms, but continue operating
in this psychological manner, not losing any convenient opportunity to
meet him at an appropriate place, when an unembarrassed exchange of
words will open the door to the one so magnetized. At this interview,
unless prudence sanction it, do not shake hands, but let your manners
and loving eyes speak with Christian charity and ease. Wherever or
whenever you meet again, at the first opportunity grasp his hand in an
earnest, sincere, and affectionate manner, observing at the same time
the following important directions, viz.: As you take his bare hand in
yours, press your thumb gently, though firmly, between the bones of
the thumb and the forefinger of his hand, and at the very instant when
you press thus on the blood vessels (which you can before ascertain to
pulsate) look him earnestly and lovingly in the eyes, and send all
your heart's, mind's, and soul's strength into his organization, and
he will be your friend, and if you find him not to be congenial, you
have him in your power, and by carefully guarding against evil
influences, you can reform him to suit your own purified, Christian,
and loving taste.

CHAPTER III.

A SPECIAL CHAPTER FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

MARRIAGE.

Advice upon this subject is very much needed. I am assured that it is
a subject not often talked of in families--at least, as it ought to
be--nor is it much alluded to in the pulpit, and the result is that
young people commonly get their notions about it from those only a
little older than themselves, and who therefore know but little more
than they do, or from those who form their opinions from the abuse
they see of it and so hold degrading and unworthy ideas respecting it.
Sometimes a
