CuR1os1rIEs OF MAnRrAoE.-In England,

CURIosITIEs OF MARRIAGE.-ln England,
in tho yoar 1863, eleven men were married
who wero neithor bachelors nor wldOwers,
and nino women who were neither spinsters
nor widows. Half of these twenty mar.
riages of divorced persons took place in
London. The returns state the exact age
of nearly two-thirds Of the couples married
in the year, and generally there Is nothing
remarkable 10 the disclosure. More than
three. .fourths, both of the mon and the wo.
men were under thirty. But there are
some entries that are certainly remarkable.
For instance two men above eighty married
spinsters who were not thirty FIVE; and q
pirl of sixteen was married to a man above
seventy. Two hundred and twenty eight
girls were married Who were sixteen years
old, and thirty without waiting even unti
they were sixteen. Six youtha of sixteen
must needs take to themselves wives, aH
rather older than themselves. Tho days OF
our years are three score years and ten;
but this return shows us one hundred and
seventy seven men and forty-two women
who made what is called o new start in life
after they had passed that boundary. Eight
of these men were bachelors until, after at.
tanning the age of seventy, they married
and three Of the women spinsters; fourteen
of the men had seen eighty birthdays
Among the wbimseys may by noted man
of ninety two marrying q woman OF eighty
