WHY YOU'VE MEN 30 NOT MAnnY.-
One of our Northern exchanges tells us
the reason young men do not marry is,
"the over drcssiug of women" aud upon
this descants us follows:
"Ovcr-drcssing dcmoralzcs woman.
1t takes from that purity of thought and
character, the high prerogativcs ofa per
feet life, which is her legitimate birth,
right, AMI she sells it for mess of pot
tage. 1t opens the avenues of her soul
to thousand destroying influences, and
lends her by silkcn tcndrils over into
the valley of the shadow of death. =
Il think the reason young men do not
marry is because girls have ceased to be
domestic, and spend Il great deal of
money upon dress. They arc not con
tented to live i'll quiet way, and dress
moderately; they must so out, dress and
ride, and frequent places of amusement
have suppers aud banqucts, aud receive
adulatiou. 1t costs great deal of money.
which the young L. an furnishes, aud he
never gets ahead enough to marry So
they repent ana try their luck again"
There is some truth in the foregoing
Though more young men would marry
than do, but for follics of their own.
Billiards, cards, wisc, and other costly
Injuries, consume hat, in many cases,
would 80 largely awards supporting a
family. The fault of not marr,in., is
attributable not alone to "ov1 r.drcSsinn"
on the part of the ''ycntlcr sex" but as
much to the cxtravagancc of the stern
err i'll the pleasures they enjoy. All
the fault Of not marrying, must not be
laid upon women. Ii they do over
dress it Is because the men encourage
it. Go to Il ball OF party of any kind.
and that girl who is modcstly dressed
beside the belle in her feathers, and her
silks, and diamonds, receives no attcn-
ton from the young men, while the other
is fairly bcsicgcd by them. This is life,
sean it as you may.
