I
Tnsone of the Western papers We observe az
accoant Of marriage ceremony, performed on
buafd Of steamboat, the parties never having
I met until they began their VOYAGE together to
! the Crescent City. The narrative IS given
with various fourishes Of rhetoric, IS It the
affair was q subject of pride and limitations
Perhaps in tho present instance, the editor
may be correct. But, rs a general rule, the
old sproverb Is right, which says that people
who .smarry in haste repent ut leisure
We cannot approve, consequently, of the
applause bestowed on transaction like this.
There are foolish couples enough in the world,
ready to rush into nI4tTimory without fore
thought, and prepared to think that It Is \
very fine thing to have the ceremony como OFT
in some striking manner. so IS to attract pub-
lie attention, without having this weakness fed
by eulogistic newspaper paragraphs This
evil is becoming really seriOus one. Every
few weeks some new paragraph appears res
pecting pair who have welded On short in
timacy The last one. we belieye, chFoniclOd
\ marriage after few hours acquaintance. II
fhings go on, accelefating in this fashion
American weddings win vet emulate to Chinese
ones, for it wil be considered most IN the
mode to marry without meetiag at all.
It has been said that s'marriage IS q lottery.
No one ever questioned that it was, when Peo-
pie W, dded on short acquaintance; but the
remark is not true, if made respecting marlit-
oes after adue intimacy. Nodoubt, the closest
friendship, before marriage, will be insufficient
to meet entirely the mutual characters of the
pair to each other. But, in proportion 10 the
length of the acquaintance, and the common
sense of lovers, will be their knowlede of the
foibes of one another Nor is this all. Even
in the case of very young lovers who have not
vet taken to observing character if they are
thrown famliarly together, in the social cir
Gle of the brides family, they cannot but as
simulate to each other in time, so that the risk
of marriage is greatly lessened. But when
matrimony is contracted, upon an acquaint-
ance of but few hours, or even days, the
chances are frightfully great that the pair will
not suit each other.
Another ridiculous, if not culpabIe practice,
much laudcd in some newspapers, is Oddly
and therefore peculiar n0torietv in the mar
rage Some time ago, q wedding was held
in Mammoth Cave. Before that, one occur
red on a Bridge, just at the dividing line, If
we remember correctly, between two States.
All these freaks are pcrpctrated for secret love
Of publicity. The flow from the same I'M
maidcnly spirit Which aspircs after ornate-bri-
dial chambers at hotels and on board steam
loats 1t is not fattering to the sex of this
country. that. Just when a truly feminine wO-
man shrinks from all notoriety, 50 many brides
are found to brazcn it out, courting notice by
the oddity of the ceremony, or by the marked
character of their dress and demeanor.

AT HOME IN THE EVENING.

One of the grosscst neglects of youth, pro-
ducinr incaIcuIabIe mischief and ruin, is the
spending of his evenings. Darkness is temp
tation TO misconduct; suffering the youth to
be out, when the light fday does not restrain
them from misconduct, is training them TO it.
We have already an abundant harvest of this
seeding. Riots mobs. crimes, giving fearful
foreboding, are the results of youth becoming
fit agents of outrage, 10y running, uncared for,
in the evenings. What we see in these res
poets is depIorabe enough-but what is this
compared to what we do not see-mutitudes
making themselves miserable and noxiOus to
the world, and what is that come to! Pa
rents should look at the truth, that pleasure
and recitations are often dearly purchased
the price of their own impaired comfort, and
the blightc,l prospects of their offspring. 1t
must bc obvious that in this matter there can
be no prescribed rule. There can be no inte-
rior Of all the evening recreation and employ
ment, vet there is an evil not only destructive
to youth, but planting thorns IN many paths,
and covering many lives with desolation. The
information demanded must proceed from
Judgment and conscience-must be cnIiGhtcn-
ed. Heads of families must learn that the
place on earth best adapted to he a blessing Is
home; and, by example and wholesome re-
straint. they must teach this truth to all I'M
