Dr.. johnson, in his work on the Econo.
my of Health, says that matrimony should
not be contracted before the first year of the
fourth septennial on the part of the lady, nor
the last year of the same in the case of the
gentleman in other words, the female should
be at least twenty-on years of age, and the
male twenty-eight. The Doctor says there
should be difference of several years be.
tween the sexes, at whatever period of life
the connection is formed. There is differ
ence of seven years. not in the actual dura-
ton of life, in the two sexes, but in the stam-
ina of the constitution, the symmetry of the
form, and lineaments of the face. In respect
to early marriages. so far as concerns the
softer sex, for every year at which marriage
is entered upon before the age of twenty one
there will be on an average three years of pre-
mature decay more or less apparans of the
corporeal fabric.

1857, said supposing that have wife, or
dozen of them. and she should say you

they all should say so, what of that =? They
never affect any salvation one particle, whose
salvation will they effect? Their own.-
Suppose that lose the whole of them before

been good and faithful man all the days of
my life, and loved my religion, and had favor
with God, and was kind to them, do you
think | will be destitute there? No, the
Lord says there are more there than here,
they have been increasing there; they in
crease there great deal faster than we do
here, because there is no obstruction. They
do not call upon the doctors to kill their off
springs there are no doctors there, that is,
if they are there their occupation is changed,
which proves that they are not there because
they have ceased to be doctors. In this world
very many of the doctors are studying to
diminish the human family. In the spirit
world there is an increase of males and fe-
males, there are millions of them, and if am
