Early Marriages.

q -
by which we mean. under twenty-three for
the woman, and under twenty-eight for the
man, and the misfortune and calamity of those
who contract them. The constitution of the
woman is prematurely taxed by child-bearinp.
and is broken down before she is thirty-fiye. the
age in which she ought to be in all the plorv of
matronly beauty, or social and domestic inau-
ence, and power and enjoyment. But instead
OF domestic influence, in what condition does
" thlrty-five " find the great majority of Ameri-
can women! Thin, pale, wasted, hollow cheeks,
sunken and dark circled eyes, no strength, no
power OF endurance, with a complication of De-
cuiIar ailments, which, while they battle medi-
cal skill, irritate the body and leave the mind
habltually fretful and complaining, or what is
less endurable, thrown into state of hopeless
passivity, wearsome and destructive indiffer-
ence to family children, household, everything!
The influence these things have on the man.
y ambition of the husband is disastrous soli-
citude' and sympathy for his suffering wife.
waste the meatal power which ought to have
been put forth on his business; his time is di.
verted, whilst the reckless waste of servants
unlocked after, and that unavoidable wreck and
ruin to house and furniture and clothing, which
is an inseparable attendant on every .wifeless
family; these things, we say, soon begin to
have depressing effect on the energies of the
young father and husband, who is too often
driven into do,nothing indulgence into reckless
shifts, OF. into the forgetfuness Of habitual
drunkenness. All this time, the children arc
increasing in number, are more and marc NO.
elected, growing up in ignorance and idIeness. !.
or if learning at all, having the more leisure to
learn but too well, the habits and practices of
ignorant, triAing, deceiving, blOrneying, treach-
orous servants, for such the mass of them are,
as we know by sorrowful experience in all the
large cities of this country. !. .-,-... n.
| A woman. who begins TO have children at
eighteen, cannot have that vigor Of body or
mind which is essential to well-reguIated house,
holds we say, therefore, to every young man,
do not marry undess twenty-eight for yourself,
nor under twenty-threeSfo your wife md re-
member, too, that the best dover woman can
bring you, is sound constitution !, it is worth
more to you than a fortune . while its moral
and physical effect on the future shealth and
happiness Of the children who may be. born to
you, cannot be measured by an array of dollars.

A I, UcHING lNC1DENT.-The saddest story
that we ever read, was that of a little child in
Switzerland, a pet boy, just as yours is, reader,
whom his mother, one bright morning, rugged
out in a>beautiful jacket, all shining with silk
and buttons, and gay as mothers love could
make it, and then permitted him to go out to
play. He had scarcely stepped from the door
of the Swiss COTTAGE" when an enormous eagle
swooped hun from the earth, and bore him to
ITS nest, high up among the mountains, and
yet within sight of the house of which he had
been the joy. There he was killed and de-
vonred, the eyrie being at point which was
literally Inaccessible to man, So that no relief
could be afforded. 10 tearing the child to pie
ces. the eagle SO placed his gay jacket in the
nest thatit became a fixture there, and when
ever the wind blew it would flutter and the
sun would shine upon its lovely trimmings and
ornaments. For years it was visible from the
low lands, long after the eagle had abandoned
the nest. What a sight it must have been to
the parents of the victim. 5- ~ 80

MINNEsorA.-A home missionary writes from
Dlnoth county:
"There is advancement, think. in the canse
OF temperance, though it is not without oppos-
ton, both from without, and from those who
profess friendship. The peace counsel of the
latter retards the execution of the treaty law
which is violated by the Introduction ofintoxi

have themselves sent an agent to WASHINGTON.
to complain of a violation of the treaty in this
respect. Much Of it is sold to them. We are
not without hope that the law may be enforced
and all traffic in it prevented in this region"
On this the editors of the IIome Missionary
we'll remark:
"How humlating it is that we should he
compelled to witness barbarians inplorinp pro-
lection against our civilized and Christian mi
Iqnlty-sending an agent to our government.
and praying to be shielded against the grossness
and shamelessness of their white neirhbors
voking the soemhty of broken treaties. and
appealing To us IN the name of morality and of
decency! Surely it is time that the universal
conscience of this nation had branded rum-seI-
ing as crime, and had made its infamy iDdel-
lble, in statute and penalty.
