MARRIAGE.

Men and women, and especially young |
people, do not know that 1t takes years 10 |
marry completely two hearts, even OF the
most loving and well-sorted. But nature
allows no sudden change. We slope very
gradually from the cradle TO the summit OF
life. Marriage is gradual, fraction OF us at
a time. A happy wedlock is a long falling
in love. know young persons think love
belongs only TO brown hair, and plump,
round crimson cheeks. So it does for Its be-
ginning, just as Mt. Washington begins at
Boston bay. But the golden marriage is o
part Of love which the bridal day knows
nothing OF. Youth is the tassel and silken
flower Of love, sge Is the full corn, ripe and
sClld in the car. Beautiful is the morning of
love with lis prophetic crimson, violet, pur-
pie and gold with its hopes of days that are
to come. Beautiful also is the evening OF
love, with its glad remembrances, and lis
rainbow side turned toward Heaven as we'll
as earth. Young people marry their oppo-
sites In temper and general character, and
such marriage is commonly u good match.
They do II instinclively. The young man
does not say ''mY black eyes requires TO be
with blue, and my over vehemence requires
10 be little modified with somewhat of dull
ness and reserve" When these opposiies
come together to be wed, they do not do il,
but each thinks the other Just like himself
Old people never marry their Oppositea (;
they marry their similars. and from calcula-
ton. Each OF these two arrangements is
very proper. In their long journey, these
young oppOsiles will fall out by the way a
great many times, and both get away from
the road but each will charm the other
back again, and by and by they will be
agreed as 10 the place they will go 10 and the
road they will go by, and become reconciled-
The man will be noble and larger for being
associated with so much humanity unlike
himself, and she will be q nobler woman icT
having manhood beside her, that seeks tC
correct her deficiencies and supply her with
what she lacks, If the diversity be not toe
great, and there be real pietY and love il
lheir hearts TO begin with. The old bridge
groom, having much shorter Journey /,
make, must associate himself. A perfect an
complete marriage is, perhaps, as rare as per
feet personal beauty. Men and women ar
married fraclionally, now q small traction
then large fraction. Very few are Marie
totally, and they only, think, after som
lofty or fifty years oil gradual approach an
experiment. Such large and sweet fru
is a complete marriage, that 1t needs a yer
long summer to ripen in, and then a Ion
winter 10 mellow and season. But a rea
happy marriage OF love and judgment b.
tween noble man and woman is one OF Il
things so very handsome that II the sun wei
as the Greek poets tabled, a god, he mig
stop the world in order TO feast his eyes wi
such spectacle Theodore Parker.

Susan McGinnis, On Irish girl, and an in
mate of the Northampton county poorhouse
of and on fer some years past, absconded from
that institution last spring and made her way
to Indian Mountain, back Of Weissport, Car
bon county, where she was kindly taken IN
and installed as housekeeper by one Peter
Graver. In the course of time criminal inl-
macy sprung up between them, which promi
sed before long to make her burden upon
the county. The oYerseers of Casbon county,
on hearing of the girls condition, wrote on to
the poor directors of Northampton to take her
home. They accordingly did so, and day or
two alter had a warrant Of arrest issued agaius
the author Of the girls troubles. Chief Of Po-
lice Kleckner, armed with this document,
made visit TO the domicile of Peter and after
explaining the object of his visit, brought him
before Alderman Stahler of Baston, who com
mitted him to prison in default of bail. re'
ter didn't like this at all. He pleaded.guilty te
the charge laid against him, and expressed
willingness to wed Susan instanter. Under
these circumstances Susan was brought to prls
on on Friday morning last, where, IN the
warden's office, the two who had loved SO un-
wisely but too well were joined in the bond
of matrimony by Alderman Stahler, and sooi
after went on their way rejoicing IN the hop'
of welded bliss. The masculine gender OF
said consolidation has seen 60 winters, and TIL
feminine 80.
