ADJUSTMENTS THIS DAY AND EVENING
Thanksgiving night has always proved one Of
the best evenings in the year for dance, sur
passing even Christmas and New Years We
suppose that one reason for this is that Thanks
giving is the New England holiday par excel-
lence, taking precedence of Christmas and
New Years in the affections of the people.
For the amusement-loving public, therefore,
the following entertainments are provided.
During the afternoon and evening two per-
formances will be given at the Portland Thea
ire by Sam Sharpley's Minstrels. This COM
pany, the famous "Iron Clads," gave two exhi-
billions, one last Saturday and the other on
Monday evening, which drew crowded and de-
lighted audiences, and we hardly think the
theatre will be large enough to hold all who
wish to attend to-day. There is no such spe-
ciic for healthy digestion as a good hearty
laugh, and after slowing away couple of
pounds of roast-turkey and a mince pie or
two, go at once to see Sharpley's Minstrels
The grand ball of the "Blues" comes off this
evening at City Hall. This is going to be
grand affair. There are numbers of ladies'
and gentlemen who have been looking for
ward to this ball for some time back and who
are anticipating great enjoyment. We under
stand there will be very large delegation of
military present from the other parts of the
State and nothing ill be left undone on the
part of the hosts to insure a good time for the
participant. The list of managers is an ex-
cellent one and tie same indefatigable COM
mittee of arrangements, who made last win
ter such a success, have the present affair in
charge. 1t is sufficient to say of the music
that Chandler furnishes it,
The Ocean Association will give a grand
ball at Lancaster Hall this evening. The Elk
IS are celebrated for their enjoyable sociables.
Their parties are always well patronized and
mirth and iollity always reign supreme at their
festivities. Old Lancaster Hall will tremble
and throb under the steps of the dancers to-
night or we are much mistaken. Chandler
will furnish the music.
There will be select assembly at Fluents
Hall tonight under the auspices of Messrs Gee
& Harnden the popular dancing school teach
ers We are told that this hall possesses ono
of the best dance floors in the city, and we all
know how elegant and commodious are the
hall and dressing-rooms. Let the hall resound
with the sound of music and the dance to-
night. Give Gee & Harnden bumper.

best of the old ones. We will not allow our
selves to be discomposed by the illiberal prog

BEncHER ON EARLY MARRIAGE.


BEEcHER ON EARLY MARRIAGE.
At no period, perhaps, in til il liio,
do young men need the inspiration of
virtuous life and the sympathy of com
panion in their sclf-denying toll, as when
they first enter the battle for their own
support. Early marriages arc pcrma-
ncnt niofaIitics, and deferred marriages
arc temptations to wickedness. And yet
every year it becomes more and more
difficult, concurrent with reigning ideas
of society, for young men to enter upon
that matrimonial state which is the pro-
per guard of their virtue, as well as their
courage and enterprise. The battle Of
life is almost at the beginning. There
it is that man needs wcdlock. But a
wicked and ridiculous public sentiment
puts man who is in society, for that
matter, largely on the ground of condi-
ton, and not of disposition and charac-
ter. The man who has the means
whcrcwith he can visibly live amply is
in good society, as a general rule. The
man that has virtue and stern manllncss,
but has nothing withal external to show,
is not usually considered in good So
cicty. Ambitious young men will not
therefore marry until they can meet their
expenses; but tha; is dcfcrring for years
and years the indispensable virtue
Society is bad where two cannot live
cheaper than one ! and young men arc
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 debqrrcd from marry ing for scores
of years, from mere prudential consid-
crations: and the heart and the life are
sacrificed to the pocket. They arc tempt
cd to substitute ambition for love, when
at last, over the ashes and expiring en-
bers of their carly romance, they select
their wife. 1t is said that men who wait
until they arc forty or forty-fvc years OF
age select prudcntIy. Alas for the wife
who has not first sweet heart! Pru-
dcncc is good, but is prudence servant
Or-queeH IuueiiSc II S""", wv "''"'
