The old saying, "Marry in haste and repent at leisure," will never
lose its force. Worse than the man whose selfishness keeps him a
bachelor till death, is the young man, who, under an impulse he
imagines to be an undying love, marries a girl as poor, weak, and
selfish as himself.-from "Chapter VII: As to Marriage"Subtitled A
Ladder to Practical Success, this little book is chock full of
handy advice for a young man looking to make his way in the
world... or at least in the world of 1895, when it was first
published. Calhoun's guidance encompasses: .the importance of
correct habits.the value of experience.selecting a calling.some of
labor's compensations.patience and perseverance.and more.While some
of its core counsel is timeless, this quaint work is a charming
look back at a society that no longer exists.Also available from
Cosimo Classics: Calhoun's Business Hints for Men and
Women.American artist and writer ALFRED ROCHEFORT CALHOUN
contributed photography, sketches, and articles to publications
including Harper's Weekly and the Philadelphia Press.
