let's All Get Married

The question Of early marriages
seems to bother not only the Grad
grind directors of the English bank,
but several of our cotemporaries,
who assert with equal positiveness,
and prove with commendable feyor
both sides Of the case. We opine
that it is not the marriage which
causes financial embarrassment, but
the tomfoolery which accompanies
it. Men are not content to start as
their fathers did, or rather as their
incomes warrant; and as for the
women-well, far be it from us to
attempt their definition. Expen-
siye suits of rooms, tawdry finery,
flashy dress, a great deal of paint
and putty are made to take the
place of a modest home and such
genuine comforts as a very little
money will secure. Women dress,
not for their own convenience, nor
to please their Husbands, but rather
to spite Mrs. Jones, or to settle Mrs.
Jenkins. Men on small salaries
spend their money for billiards, eli
gars and Bourbon straight and fail
to get their lives insured because
they can't afford it, Women wear
thin drawers and no fiannels, so
that their peacoclx's feather may
have a larger switch, or the hump
on their back may camelize a little
more outrageously.. Sham, and not
marriage, is what's the matter
Young people can very well afford
to marry long before they can af-
ford to splurge. Babies! Certain
", babies. Why not? If one ba-
by in the house is a well-spring of
joy, what are half-a-dozen? There
can be no good sound argument
against babies, and the Tribune,
which would oppose them, deserves
to be written down by the Leader.
BY all means let the young people
marry, by all means welcome and
make happy the babies, and by the
same token let the husband give
up his cheap and nasty drink, his
tobacco and billiards, while his
wife puts on her apron and kindly
condescends to do something for
herself, leaving Mrs. ZJones where
she belongs-in the cold. 81

The Wandering Jew.


Over all the middle ages we see
a weird figure of a man, downcast
and grave, who, unhasting, unrest
ing, must march on to the day of
doom. The Wandering Jew, some
times buried in the Armenian con
vents or the deserts of Central Asia,
in the burning plains of Africa, or
the snowy heights of the Caucasus,
suddenly appears in the haunts Of
more civilized Europe, and tells, as
an eyewitness, the sad story OF the
cruciixion, and his share in the coz
tumely cast upon the Goldman. He
had thrown himselfinto the flaming
city of Jerusalem under the Roman
swords; he had fought against Ger
mans, Gauls and Saracens; but no
lance would enter his charmed body,
no arrow pierce the heart that lon
ged to be at rest. The wild ele-
phant had crushed him under foot,
venomOus serpents had bitten him,
the hungry lion had torn him, but he
could not die until Christ himself
should return to judge the world.
This legend filed the people with
terror and emotion, and probably a
rose from some eloquent preacher,
who thus personiied the Jewish ma
ton, under the figure Of a single
man,scattered throughout the world
and undestFoyed by persecution.
