WHAT 1s MAra1MoNY.--As so many Of our
young men arc contemplating rnatrimony, or
already experiencing its joys we copy the fol-
lowing definitions for their benefit. They
probably never before knew what it wa,s was, and
we are not quite certain that we know even
now, but We hope to grow into q perfect under
standing Of it one Of these days. Here is:
a'..What the law of tgravitation is to the ma
terial universe, love is to the intellectual and
spiritual. AS the former causes all terrestrial
bodies to move in the most sublime harmony,
SO the latter is that all powerful, all potent in
fuence which alone can cause NIL celestial and
terrestrial intelligent, beings and organizations
to move in the most perfect aud sweetest har-
mony." Heigh no.
