Marriage.

Nature never did betray the soul
that loved her, and nature tells men
and women to marry. Just as the
young is entering life, just as he comes
to independence and mans estate, just
as tho cris!s Of his being is to be solv-
ed, and it is to be seeh whether he
decide with the good. and the great,
and the true, or whether he sink and
be lost for ever--matrimoty gives him
ballast and right imptlse. War with
nature, and abe takes a sure revenge.
Tell a young man not to have an ats
tachment that is virtuous, and he will
have one that is vicious. Virtuous
love, the honest love af man for the
woman he is ebout to marry, gives
him an anchor for his heart; some-
thing pure and beautiful for which to
labor and to live. And the woman,
what purple ligit it sheds upon her
path; it makes life for her 10 day.

But most Of US are towards, and dare
not think so, we lack grace We are Of
little faith, our inward eye is dim and
dark. The modern yeung lady must
marry in style !; the modern young
gentleman marries fortune. But in

what becomes of men and women who
do not marry. Worldly fathers and
mothers advise their sons not TO marry
till they can afford to support wife,
and the boys wickedly expend double
the amount in low comp'ny. Hence
