On Matrimony.

A recent debate on matrimony in the
British Parliament has brought out some
singular facts. Pertinent to the subject
is the following: AV
The law of marriage, as laid down by
Prof Byrd Powell, who has given this
subject more study than any one else, is
stated as follows.
"One of the parties should have an
entirely vital constitution. chat rs, his
or her temperament should be either san.
guine or bilious, or made up of the two)
and the other should have one or two adj
junctive elements" THAT is, in addition
to the sanguine or bilious, the other
party should have either the eneepdalic
or nervous, or the lympathic element, or
both, in his or her organization.
7 This is doubtless as near the law on
| this subject as has yet been reached; and
we fully believe that II is within the abil-
ity of most young men and women to so
well understand temperamental science
as to be able to select partners best
adapted to them respectively, and thus
insure healthy offspring, and vast in
crease of domestic happiness above that
which is now enjoyed under the random
marriages that are effected generally
through passion and impulse. We be-
lieve in being governed by common sense
| in this as well as in other important con-
Germs r,st
But those who are too nearly like our
selves are not the only ones with whom
we should not marry. Among the mas
culine gender, there are those who are
suspected of being men, from the fact
that they wear breaches, whom no wo-
man should marry They are easily
enough detected They abjure manly
exercise and cultivate feminine habits.
Some of this class are called tops or
dandies, whom the poet has well de-
scribed
% dandy is a thing that would
Be o young lady if he could;
But since he cant. does all he can
To let You know he's not a man.
Young women should despise all such.
Marry mel-virtuous, honest men-or
not marry at all.
On the other hand, there is class of
young ladies who are in no danger Of
ever being women. They will not live
long enough. This class includes even
more than are described by Milton, the
great religious poet, as follows:
" Bred only and completed to the taste.
OF lustful apetence, 10 sing. TO dance,
To dress, and troll the tongue and roll the eye"
Let no young man marry in this class of
the feminine gender. 1t is altogether
too feminine.
Both these classes of men and women
are more to be avoided when wedlock is
in view than are deceased wives sisters,
or even cousins. One may chance to
marry cousin who will not make his or
her home hospital, but it is universally
fatal to marry either dandy or a fiirt.
