THIRD LECTURE OF PROF. FowLER-Philhar-
monte Hall was crowded again last evening.
irof Fowler delivered notwithstanding lee
ture on the Social Relations He first advised
MS audience as to what course should be pursued
In order TO prolong life, and then proceeded to
show - who should and who should not marry :,
In education habit, disposition, taste and the So
Cldi quallues, there should be similarity in the
husband and wife, TO insure happiness MANY

duge In their love of literature while AT home q,
In their society, compel them to seek it else
where. The fact is, If young women and young
men were properly educated to be wives and
husbands, the happiness of the domestic cjr.
Gle would be greatly increased. A Young man
was not In a condition to marry until he was able

herself to be hurried into the marital relation
without understanding her own character or
nature-wlthout putting that value upon herself
toat she ought to. All these various faculties in
men and women have their natural language

toward each other, thong the individuals them
selves may not be aware of it, He very often saw
u exhibited among his audience. Laughter
The faculty of adhesiveness, which included
love OF children and animals, was more predomi-
hant In Hen than women. He deprecated mar
Tylng at an early age, and said that no young man
ought to marry until he was at least TWENTY-FIVE
wears OF age and no young lady until she had
reached her eighteenih-bett wait until her
twentieth year He also condemned in severe
terms the practice, now becoming so universal of
pers2ihs marrying those who were so much younger
non OF The lnte.marrtage Of cousins I'm the former
case he lnstinced the marriage of Mrs. E, of
ms Gl1y, d lady OF 81 to young man of 10, and
SAID he was always shocked to hear of such di-
tsslOn from what should ALWAYS be the rule oh
served with regard to marriages No ordinary
mechanic should marry handsome lady of refined
dhu cultivated manners, and who moved in a
higher grade of society, it was very likely to
render both parties unhappy and epgepder mo.

to accustom herself to the humble and nerbans
secluded position she would be forced to occupv
Let such a one rather take a wife who moved i'm
the same circle and whose disposition, taste and

Again, no jealous man should marry a hand.
some woman, as the admiration which She would
very naturally receive would cause this faculty to
develop Itself In the man, and his Jealous spirit
might cause him to act in such a way as to render
tnem both unhappy. A lady once came to him
and complained that since she had been married,
because she was remarkably fine singer and
possessed other attractive qualities of mind and
person, and from this fact received the approving
smiles OF many, her husband had required her to
nesist from singing I'm church, AID forced her to
nve IN almost entire seclusiOn. lie referred to
TINS incident to show the unhappy results of such
marriages. He denounced the far too prevailing
ldea that 1T was njurious to have girls and Bows
educated in the same room. and at home 1t was
well known that company of young men would
behave IN very different manner IL there was
only one lady present, than they would otherwise;
other sex.
After the lecture, committee designated to
select PERSONS bc examined broug hi forward
Rev. j. q. Butler of the Lutheran Church. and
MI A.: F. Cunningham, who took positions on
the platform.
Ny
logical organization of Mr.. Butler in which he
sald there were some pecularitics worthy of
hole Ihls organization was a very distinct one:
the organs of the brain stood out as though thew
bad been much exercised. His temperament i'm.
dictated uncommon degree of action of the mind
rather than Of the body. He was noted first as
heinS positive man; he had an individuality
ana luentlty Of his own; secondly, he was an in
dependent man, almost too independent; it cost
him considerable to sustain his lndependence
Tor he would not yield to another long as he
regarded himself as being in the right. Another
trait in his character was :" Hopen He was
characterized by much Combativeness; fond of
discussion; sharp in debate. He was possessed
Of too much energy for his bodily frame He was
also inclined TO be sarcastic.
On being asked If what had been said of him
was correct, MI. Butler replied. In some
points, but he did not recognize .scombatatiye-
ness as being quite strong. He was then
asked his profession, when he stated he was a
clergyman
Mr.. Fowler Now, I will venture to say. that
as Clergyman, he lays the law right down; he
gives sinners no quarters at all. Laughter
Mr. A r. Cunning ham was next examined
ms gentleman, the lecturer said, looked to be
precisely what be was. His physiology and
Phrenolosy harmonized. He had as much of the
'l'di nature and power of constitution as was
necessary to act with the brain. His brain was
not equal to his vitality; he had surplus of f,e.h
which was an impeachment in his way The
remedy was, ''eat d little less work little more
and he will be all right" He was generous
good hearted. good natured; and an excellent
nelgh He was a very sympathetic man His
mother was remarkable for her Kindness of dispo-
sitlon He was not very strict theologlan Kind
ness was predominant charac teristic; he is very
self possessed; seldom quoted authors but relied
ON his own Judgment. He had high intellectual
Qualities; good, strong, practical common sense;
characterized by great individuality of tbouo ht
and great originality of mind. AS speaker his
style was rather smooth conversational; his char
acter as speaker would be to impart knowledge
Mr. Hatcher student at Column bian College
was the next subject. He was of a long lived
tamilyi good mathematician; a great walker:
.hough deilg htng in ladies company, his anna
,. was not predominant and it would
tise nun haif dozen years to become sufficiently
atsched TO lady to ask her hand In marriage
the lecturer therefore advised him to begin Al
once. Laughter
