PROBABILITY Or MARRTING.—A table inserted
in a paper in the Assurance Ilegasine exhibits results of •
' mbar startling character. In the first two quinquennial
periods, 20.26 and 26-30. the probability of a widower mar-
rying in a year is nearly three inns as groat ea that of a
bachelor. At 30 it is nearly four times as great ; from 30 to 45
it Le five times as great; and it Mari sun until at 60 the chance
of a widower marry ing in a year Is II tunes as great as that of
a bachelor. It is curious to remark, from this table, how
confirmed either elms becomes in its condition of life—how
little likely, after a few yews, is a bachelor to break through
his eett'ed habits and solitary condition; and, on the other
hand, how readily in proportion d ca a husband contract a
atcond meniage who has bean deprived prematurely of hie
first pattner. After the age of 30, the probability of a ba-
che!or mai el ing in • year diminishes in a most rapid ratio.
The probability at 36 is not much more than half that at 30,
and nearly the came ptoportDsrpecoi:ntleedsxiam:eeibeltwitanweemygcoofmmotp:ihht qypuln.routt.
