Beecher on Early Marriage.

| Az no period, perhaps, in their
life, do young men need the inspi.
ration Of Virtuous love and the
sympathy Of q companion in their
Relf denying toll as when they
first enter the battle for their owl,
support. Early marriages are
permanent moralities, and dc.
terred marriages are tempta.
tions to wickedhess. And yet
every year it becoihes more and
more difficult, concurrent with
the reighing ideas at society, for
u young man to enter upon that
matrimonial state which is the
proper guard of their virtue, as
well as their courage and enter.
prise. The battle Of life is almost
at tho beginning. There it is that
a man needs wedlock. But a
wicked and ridiculous public sen.
timent puts q man who is in 40.
ciety, or out of society, for. that
matter, largely on the ground OF
condition, and not Of disposition
and character. The man that has
means wherewith he can visibly
live amply is in good society, as u
general rule. The man that has
virtue and stern manlinesa, but
has nothing withal external to
show, is not usually considered in
good society. Ambitious young
men will not therefore marry un.
til they can meet their expenses
but that is deterring for years and
years tho indispensable virtue.
Society il bad where two cannot
live cheaper than one and young
men are under bad influences who,
when in the very morning Of life,
and better fitted than at any later
period to grow together with one
who is their equal and mate, are
debarred from marrying through
scores Of years from mere pruden-
tinl considerations and the heart
and life are sacriticed to the .pock-
ct. They are tempted to substi.
tute ambition for love, when at
last, over the ashes and expiring
embers Of their early romance
they select their wife.

When we hear men talk thus im.

dark mourning vein, consists of two
bases, die and shaft and is good piece

also noticed fine Gothic maidstone,
two bases, made of light mourning vein,
with raised shield and inscription, de-
signed as memorial to Mrs. j. NJ.

three splendid stones, made and finish
ed, for different parties in Peru, n. G.
The establishment keeps three men
constantly employed, and merits its
