RUNAWAY MARRIAGES..

there Is great amount OF good sober
truth Ia the following remarks from the n.
York Tribune. upon runway matches,
which usually form the staple of modern
stories aud romances, where they are re-
preseated as something exceedingly spirit
ed and proper in the lady. Riyh,fuliy con-
>i,ierrd. they are neither, for, as the Fri
.bunesay -
! In : great majority u cases. her eIope-l
nent Is snnyise. gidqy. ungratefals in mod.
est. and esinces lxsciyious appetite zunils
reckless di<pusition. Why should she
desert and distress those who have loved.
nurtured aud cherished her through all her
past years, to throw herself into the arms
OF IA comparative stranger. who has done
nothing Tor her. and whose prOteststions
ot affection have yet to undergo the first
trial /? 1t is every way unworthy Of pure
and gentle maidenhoou to do SO.
We can imag inc but one excuse for her
eInpement-na.neiv, the efforts Of parents
or guardians to cuerce her into marrying
some one she does not lave. To avoid
such fate, she is justified in RAINING
away; for no parent has or ever had 4
right to constrain daush hter to marry
against her will But where the parents
are willing to wait, the daughter should
also consent to wait, until her choice is
assentet to or she attains her legal .naio-
rity. Then. If she chooses to marry in
opposition to her parents wishes. let her
qn't the': ho"ne openly, frankly. in broad
daylight. and in such manner as shall
kindly but utterly preclude any pretence
that her act is clandcstiHe or ill-eonsi,.cred.
No one should be persuaded or coerced to
marry where she does not love bat to
wait year or two for the assent of those
who have all her life done what they could
for her welfare, no dau. htsr should esteem
a hardship.
There Is some truth to be told about the
''co:nmon run" Of masculine providers by
night about garden walls aud under bed
room windows, in quest Of opportunities
/ to pour svducing batteries into the ears of
! simple misses but we have not time to
tell i, now. AS a general rule, they are
licen'i"">. good for nothing adventures,
who would much rather marry living
than work for it. and ho spe c ulate Oh the
chances Of ''bringins the old folks round''
! after year or two. A true man would
got advise. much less urge. the woman he
loved to take step winch must inevitably
lessen the respect felt for her. and viola te
the trust reposcd in her by those who had
j loved ard cherished her all her days.

METnopIsM IN IHE UNITED STATES
The editor of Z,on's Herald take, the fol-
lowing view OF the progress Of Methodlsnl
IN this country. lie says:
"Amcrican Nethohi,m is not yet a CEN
tury old. In the incredibly short space Of
e'gnty-stven years it has built -four tn ~
-and two hundred and twenty churches.
(Which IS little less than one for every
week OF her ex'stence.) at a cost Of four
teen millions seven hundred and thirty
thousand five hundred and seventy one
dollars. Ii has also erected and endowed
ITS colleges and uuinerous academies with
large sums. 1t has built innumerabIe par
s"nases. and supplied itself with Church
and Sabbath School literature. Now most
"f these churches. having been newly
erected, rebuilt. or remodelled. and most
"f these vast outlays having been made
within the last quarter OF a century. we
think 1T no exa.gefation to estimate the
expenditures Of Methodism in the United
States for home purposes. at an average
very little short of one million of duiars
per annum for the last twenty-five years;
in addition to that it has paid for the sup
port OF ITS u,inIstry.'

II Singular DeUice,--A circumstance.
exhibiting in a remarkable degree the
rejecting faculties of IA wolf. Is related
as having taken place 1T S'Snesfeei't.
a small town or the borders oi Ca'"pagne.
\ farmer one day locking through the
hedge of his garden, observed w"lt walk
ing round about his mule. but unable to
get at him. On account of the mules CON
stantlv kicking with his hind legs. AS
the farmer perceived that his beast was so
we'll able to defend himself, he considered
il unnecessary to render h'n any as,i>-
tance. After the attack and defence had
lasted fully quarter of an hour. the wolf
ran off TO ne'.hbnriny ditch where he
several times plunged into the water.
The farmer imagined he did this to refresh
himself after the fatigue he rad sustained.
and bad no doubt that his mule had gain
ed a complete victory; bat. In few
minutes. the wolf returned to the charge.
and approaching near as he could to the
head uf the mule. shook himself. and spnrt
ed a quantity of water into the mules
ewes, vhici, caused him Immediately to
shut them That moment the wolf leapt
upon him. and killed the poor mule before
| the farmer could come to his assistance.
