trusted financial agents have been brought
to light amounting to nearly SIX millions OF

without the consent of her friend or
friends. When ayoung man hls formed
on attachment for female, the fashion l.
to appoint their friends to NEE. to behold
the two young parties run race tngeth-
or. The maid is allowed in starting the
advantage Of one-third part Of the race,
so that Il is impossible, except willing of
herself, that she should be overtnken.
II the maid oulrun the suiior. the matter
10 ended; ho must never have her, il
being penalty for tbs man TO renew the
motion OF marriage. But if the virgin
has an affection for hm, though at first
she runs fast to try the truth Of his love.
she will (without Atlanis's golden balls
TO retard her speedy pretend some casu.
atty, aud make a voluntary halt before
she comes to the maik or end of the race.
Thus none are compelled TO marry
against their own villa, and this is the
cause that in this pour country the mar

tentment than III other lands, where 80
many forced matches make feigned love,

American Fondness for Appearance

What q tendency there is in this Amer.
lean world Of ours, To value appearances
rather than realities One half OF cur
families are constantly in the struggles
To keep up appearances. Tho rUult
commences very early in the history OF
our lalnilies. Ous young mechanics OF
merchants marry carly, and II is well they
should do so, provided they would be con.
tent with simple style of living, suited
to their means, aud be satis6 ID with in.
crcssiug their furniture and drcss, and
other family expenses, only rs they are
prusperti. But the young mechanic,
when hc marries, feels too often that he
must lire iu the same style that the
bosses do. His wife, too frequently 4
young, gay, dashng, thoughtless girl,
iecls even more ambitious than he does,
and the pair start in life with furniture
above their means. Everything then
must correspond, and drcss aud expenses
oi living become cxtravagast. Then
IulloSs the inevitable Bridget, whose
waste and board and wages amount to a
large sum. Then commences the life
long struggle to keep up appearances.
Tie struggle is hard one. against The
wind aud tide aud current. The man
may work hard and earn much, but hn
and his wife started wrong. For the first
year the wife should have done her own
work. She should have been contcnted
with pluiusr furniture, designed for uso
and ornament, and lie should have been
contcntcd with less luxurious eating,
drinking and smoking. Oh, this strug.
gle to keep up appearances is terrible to
a young mechanic IL is a hard, hard
life, 10 be- nl the time striving to gain
aud to keep the front seats in society,
when properly does not warrant il.
The young merchant. too, often mukes
the same mistake. His career, his strug
gle, his end, will be similar to that Of the
mechanic, upon aslightly more dangerous
scale, and, generally, with u more nmbi
lious wife. There is wrong feeling
about both husband and wife, that their
rrspcclsbiliiy aud even their success in
business will depend upon The style they
assume. The young merchant is in
more danger of shipwreck in keeping up
appearances than the young mechanic.
| The work of the latter furnishes an in.
come known beforehand, while the
profits of the Iormer are uncertain. The
former, Likewise, will labor under the
cpnstant temptation Of striving to get
rich too fust, aud will sustain his means
and his credit to keep up appearances as
a thriving merchant.
Young professional men have the same
rocks before them, in the voyage of life
Many spend their whole existence il
rowing against wind aud tide. Th1i
young wives, too, have moro ambition
aud pride OF rank and station-more o
the foolish notions of idlencss aud luxury
Few of them ure fitted for their condition
and they have the sud project befor,
them OF a struggle to keep up appear
ances. When will men learn 70 be con
tented with the station in which God ha'
placed them
