The Chances of Marriage.

This subject is always interesting,
and marriage statistics are curious
as well as instructive. In England
this class of statistics is "got up"
with official accuracy. From the
Register General it appears that a
lady's chance OF getting married is
at its maximum between the ages Of
20 and 25. Before 90, her chances
are but one-tifth, and from 20 to -
one third of that maximum chance.
Men marry later than women, and
yet a great majority Of marriages
are agreed upon while both parties
are under %:
The marriageable season is en-
phatically between 20 and 2J-the
feelings, the affections and the im-
pulses are, at that period, less
selfish and speculative. But let
either sex pass over 35-let them ex-
perience one or two disappointments
of the heartfelt them becOmeHmbi-
tious of wealth, of "position," and
matlimony becomes a secondary OBJ
jcct-it is then Il "business transac-
tion," and in which there is little or
no heart, and both parties are fire.
quently cheated,' but perhaps no
more so than the blind Illusions
which make lovers elopc against the
advice of older friends.
Men contract marriages to a later
period than women out of 6,4S3
single persons who were married in
1898, there was only one spinster
pabove fifty years old, while there
was twelve bachelors.
A widower selects a more steady
age than q bachelor, while widow
prefers that her "second husband :"
shall be younger than herself.
1t is a statistical fact that Of wi
dows above fifty, who contract a
second marriage, more than three
fourths are united to men under
fifty. The number of marriages in
which widows are principals, is about
8 per cent. of the whole annual num-
Der, and those in which bride2rooms
are widowers about IA per cent. of
the whole. Although bachelors are
warned to be careful of the fascina-
tions Of the I" yidders,a it appears by
the statistics before us, that more
widows found widowers for partners
than bachelors, which illustrates the
truth of the saying, that "'Tis SYM
pathy that makes fricnds.'

grandeur ana maSnlHcence, DtlC ALSO
to awaken the pleasing and consol-
ing sensations of admiration, love,
and confidence. Who is there in ma
ture so depraved, in sensibilities so
blunt, as to refrain from bestowlng
his love upon that Savior who suf-
fered for him the excruciating pains
of a death upon the cross Who
can help admiring the lofty sublim-
ity of His nature in offering Himself
up a sacrifice for our spiritual good,
and in order that we might emerge
from the dark clouds Of superstition
and unbelief which hung over the
human mind like a mighty and
threatening incubus Of destruction.
Let any rejecting person read the
fall and temptation OF man, the III
carnation of the son Of God, His
sufferings for us, the institution
Of sacrifices, the inviting promises
held out to man for his final restora-
ton and his spiritual salvation, and
whatever he may say or think, he is
bound to arrive at the conclusion
that the principles inculcated by rev
elation are those which best insure
our happiness, and more perfectly
meet the several necessities Of the
heart than any others ever did or
ever will. Finally, religion secures
for us prosperity in life and supports
us in trouble. There is certainly no
surcr way to incur the favor of the
great and good than by practlcing
the sacred preccpts of Christianity.
There is assuredly no way more GER
tain to succeed in business than the
observance Of honesty, uprightness
and moderation. Well balanced re-
ligion has made 10 man poor. Fru
gality has reduced no mans family
to rags and starvation but the pub
lic-hall, the gaming-room, the dram
shop and the brothel have stepped
him in the very depths of degrada-
ton. Well regulated plety has i'll
troduced into no household domestic
quarrels and dissensions, making
home, as it were, a hell upon earth.
But the exercise of these noble and
exalted principles has raised man
above the common level, and made
him appear mere angelic than hu-
man. Sooner or later the day Of
trouble will arrive; misfortune, dis
appointment, unkindness and incon-
stancy, all will crowd upon you and
obstruct your pathway as you go
journeying through this vale of tears
and sorrow. At any time your health
may decay, your friends prove trea-
cherous, and a cloud Of adversely as
black as the shades of night may
overwhelm you; you may experience
a sickness of heart for which there
is 10 medicinal remedy; you may
despair Of ever emerging from your
fallen condition and conclude that
you are lost, irreparably gone, when
religion, that universal panacea of
human affiiction, will spring up php-
Liz like before you, and trials, and
tribulations, and SORROWS viii be
waited away like an evanescent
bubble before the western breeze.
All these considerations impress up
Oh us, and recall to our remem-
brance, the words Of an illustrious
man who, when almost overpowered
by adversely, exclaimed: 'In this,
my hour of affliction, all things for.
sake me but my God, my Bible, and

Qualifications of the Ancient Fenians
1From Scribner's Monthly. |

FROM ScflDnerS Monthly.
To enter the ancient Fenian Order,
"every soldier must swear that,
without regard to fortune, he would
choose q wife for her virtue, her
courtesy, and her good manners !;
that he would never offer violence
to a woman; that, SO far as he
could, he would relieve the poor :;
and that he would not refuse to fight
nine men of any other nation. Every
soldier must be well acquainted with
twelve books Of poetry, and be able
to compose verses. He must run
well, and defend himself when in
flight. TO try his activity, he was
made to run through a wood having
trees breadth, and the whole of
the Fenians pursuing him; if he was
overtaken or wounded in the wood,
he was refused as too sluggish and
unskillful to fight with'honor among
such valiant troops. 5 ..
:" He must be so swift and light of
foot as not to break a rotten stick by
standing on it; able also toleap over
tree as high as his forehead, and
to stoop under q tree that was lower
than his knees. Without stopping
or lessening his speed, he must be
able to draw a thorn out of his foot.
Finally, he must take an oath OF
fdelity.n

Honor Washed i'm Blood.
GFrom the Galveston Bulletin, I

ioiII tlO o0isS Ssboh DuiiCtliI,
We wish there could be a "new
departure" in that tone of society
which demands that wounded honor
should be washed in human blood.
The tongue Of SANDER is glib and
active. An evil word spoken in
haste is indiscreetly conveyed and,
in it's repetition, often exaggerated.
Bad blood is generated and human
blood flows, desolating the house
hold, leaving widows and orphans
the victims of passion, and wounded
honor washed in blood smells no
sweeter for the lurid ablution.
These thoughts come upoe reading
the sad tragedy enacted last Thurs
day in New Orleans. Nlr. Rainey hay
ing been in business with Mr.. Boyd,
was dissatisfied with his manage
ment, and spoke of Boyd as a thief.
Boyd called OH him and asked him
to retract. Rainey refused. Boyd
shot and killed him instantly, with
out any warning or threat. Both
parties moved in respectable circles.
Boyd was a cotton pressman. Rainey
was the bookkeeIer of a national
bank. Has Boyd proven, by being
a murderer-for in law he is nothing
else-that lie is not thief? If he
had never stolen before, has he not
stolen q precious life from orphan
children which he can not restore ?
Why was this killing? Because So
ciety had heard the whisperings of
this foul SANDER; and unless Boyd
killed the man who called him a
thief his friends and acquaintance
would'cut him as a coward and a pol
troOA.
How little there is of true courage
in all this. How blamable the whole
affair, and yet the surface of present
society Is rotten with this polluted
principle. Men should learn that
time wears out slander, and that
rectitude of conduct gives the lie to
cowardice. There is true bravery in
leaving the slanderer to perish in his
own corruption.
We need a "new departure" to
correct this evil Of society, for the
sake of widows and orphans.
A story is told of a Appointment man
living near Delavan, Wisconsin, who
thinking his wife on her death bed,
made propositions to widow, who
had disinterestedly dropped in to
comfort him in his sorrow, looking
to their speedy union after the anti
cipated funeral. Unluckily, however,
the sick woman heard the conversa-
tion, and the effect it had upon her
was most wonderful. Her anger
rose, and so did she. Jumping out
of bed she told her astonished hus-
band that she was not dead yet.
"No, not by no means," and she has
left no occasion unimproved since
then of convicting her unhappy hus-
band of the truth of her assertion.
