Proper AGE TO MARRY.-What viii the la
dies sew to the following remarks Of Dr.. james
johnson, in a work recently published, enti-
tied Economy Of Healthi
"The most proper age for entering TIE holy
bonds Of matrimony has been discussed but new
er settled. am entitled to my opinion; aud
although l cannot here give the grounds on
which it rests, the reader may take for grant
ed, that | could adduce--were this the proper
place--a great number Of reasons, both moral
and physical, for the dogma lam about to pro-
pound. The maxim, them, which | would in
culcate, IS this--that matrim0ny should not be
contracted before the first yearo Of the fourth
Septenniad, on the part Of females, nor before
the last year of the same in the case Of the male;
in other words, the female sould be at least
twenty-oue, and The male twenty eight years
old. That there should be seven years differ
encc between the ages Of the sexes, at whatever
period OF life the solemn contract is entered
upon, need not be urged, as iii universally ad-
mitlsd there is a difference Of seven years not
in the actual duration Of life in the two sexes,
but il the stamina Of the constitution the SYM
metry Of the form, and the lineaments Of the
face"
