when another passing along behind,
snapped his fingers quite under the

sudden to eject the contents of bis
mouth over the pedagogue's bald pate.
Standing upright, with his face and
hair dripping, the master shouted:

Marriage.

Marriage is to q woman at once The
happiest and the saddest event of her
life. 1t is the promise of future bliss
raised on the death of all present enjoy
mcnt. She quits her home, her parents,
her companions, her occupations, every !
thing Oh which she has hitherty depend
cd for comfort, for affection, for kind
ness, for pleasure.
The parents by whose advice she has
been guided, the sister to whom she has
dared impart every embryo secret and
thought, the brother who has played
with her, by turns the counselor and the
counselcd, and the young children, to
whom she has hitherto been the mother
and playmate, all are to be forsakcn at
one fell stroke; every former tic is lOOs~
cned, the spring of every hope and &c
ton is to be changed; and yet she flies
with Joy into the untroddcn path before
her; buoyed up by the confidence OF re-
Quilted love, she bids a fond and grateful
adieu to the life that is past, and turns
with excited hopes and joyous anticipa-
tons of the happiness to come. Then,
woe to the man who can blight such
fair hopes-who can trcachcrously lure
such a heart from its peaceful enjoy
ment and its watchful protection of
home-who can coward like, break the
illusions that have won her, and destroy
the confidence that love had inspired
Woe to him who has too early with
drawn the tender plant from the props
and stays of moral discipline in which
she has been nurtured, and yet makes
no effort to supply their place; for on
him be the responsibility of her errors;
on him who has first taught her, by his
example, TO grow careless of her duty
and then exposed her, with broken spirit
and dissatisfied heart, to the wild storm
and willy temptations of a sinful world
