Marriage ana Longevity.

Bachelors die earlier than other men.
This is confirmed by DIR. Stark, of the
Registers. office in Scotland, who finds
that the average age OF married men
over twenty years Is over hny:nine
years, while the unmarried average
only forty years; that is, marriage adds
nearly one-third to the length Of life, as
a general rule, because

of unrest, they feel unsettled.

sense OF solitariness. inducing II sad
ness, not actual melancholy, with all
their depressing influences; and many,
are spent in gloomy inactivity, which
is adverse to good digestion and II

His own chamber or house being

TO seek diversion outside, in suppers
with friends, in clubs which ere intro
