Few Words to very Young People who think
Of Getting Married.
1.-THE old rascal who concocted the following,
deserves to be shut up with whole regiment of
crying babies, for three consecutive nights. See
what he says, ladies and say if he don't deserve

'Whom the gods love die young" sang the
Roman poet meaning that their virtue insured
to them an early Immortality We wish he had
told US with what particular feeling the gods
gard those who marry young-we mean that pc
culiar class Of green horns who sooner enter
on their teens, but ineIorable fate impels them
to sef-immolation on the alter of Hymen.
To US there is something especially painful in
witnessing an unsuspecting girl Of fifteen reck-
lessly sporting ON the immediate brink of we'd
lock, sacrificing herself to On evanescent senti-
ment, and offering to the world the anomalous
spectacle of child-mother ! Her mind has
peen prepared for the event at her boarding
school. She has a thorough conviction that the
chief end Of woman's life is TO get married and
while she should still be wearing short petticoats
she falls bitterly in love with some smpaton
who '.reciprocates her Affection" and selfshly
robs her of those years which should be the
brightest and most joyous of her existance. In
few weeks Charles discovers that il is a most
unreasonable thing that he should be expected
to give up the young bachelor pleasures TO which
he has been accustomed, and that it is bore
TO be always accompanied by wife to place of
amusement. Julia begins TO suspect that she is
neglected and then commences series of
snaps which every one Of our married readers
will of course know how to appreciate. Julia
conhdes her sorrows to her mother, who gene
rally will be silly enough to interfere, and fan
pettishness into decided i'll temper, to subside
only when both parties are wearied Of hostllites
and each other, when the habit of costant in
tercourse has soothed the asperities of hymenial
bondage, and kind of resignation takes the
place of love.
Suppose they are poor, and that Charles with
out means, has to support his wife. We hnve
seen some lamentable cases OF this kind, and !
have remarked that these precious couples are

The youth has early initiated himself into the
ways of marriage, and married he must be

Love is of course, divine ecstatic, and all that
kind of thing: but mt fifteen love is humbug,
and to give way to it is like eating goosber
ries, sure to produce unpleasant results in the
end. any of our young readers happen to b e
troubled with weakness of mind, we earnestly
implore them to guard against the approach es
of callow affection. 1t may in general be cured
by a little frmness, but if that is lacking, we
