AT Whit Age to Marry.

We are glad to be able to answer the
perpiexing question here proposed through
the kindness of the Church Journal, which
discussed the point in its last issue. While
special directions are called for in individual!
cases, the opinions Of the Journal are
valuable and worthy of consideration
''rhe state Of society,"" says the paper
named, sin which young men marry as
rule at twenty-one. or shortly after, is the
state in which the home virtues and the
personal virtues best flourish. That state
which makes it impossible for man to
marry 'prudently,' until he is thirty.-tive or
forty, is one which is not admirable nor
desirable, in any land or among any people,
as the world has had ample testimony.
There are unsavory Accomplishments to tins
state of things which we all understand
well enough but about which we are too
delicate to say anything. And those
accompaniments are at this moment, rottlng
the heart out of American people in GER
tain sections and certain states of life in
our country, so that were it not for the
mass of irnprudent foreigners, who have
habit Of marrying young and rearing
families of children, in the old-iashioneo
healthy way, we might fear the extinction
of the people, as we sec the extinction
the business of motherhood and father
hood, and know the prevalence OF namles'
horrors in the relations of theCsexes."

a diffusive spirit Of benevolence on tho part of

an irresistible desire to !" develop" had induced
them to offer to divide among any gentlemen

to invest it.. With the capacity for pushing and
extending the works thus elevated, It was stated
that the sums available for dividends would
range from Is to 20 per cent per annum for FIVE
years. During that time the redemption of the
debentures was to e., on. and after that short
period Of probation the happy stockholders we're
to have 40 per cent per anaum, q rate Of profit
which !nppears to be looked upon as normal for
Canadian schemes by those who offer them on

And, touching the ea1ne matter, Peck, j., in
Maley Us. Marietta, Ohio N. S. Rept, 639, says :
to interfere with the exercise of q Legislative
discretion which the Constitution has delegated
to the law-making power"
The State Constitution makes it mandatory
upon the Legislature mot simply discretionary
to enact laws establishing reasonable maximum IN
rates OF. charges and it is discretionary with
the laT-making power to determine what Is fea@
sonable. And, upon the principles above de-
cided, there is no authority IL the courts TO m
terfere with u Legislative discretion which !. the
Constitution has delegated. Inc Gonstltatton t3,a
in this State has given the discretion TO tue
Legislature, and there is no supreme 1ndlclal
discretion to which this Legislative discretion is
amenable. And, in q case of the o., u. O. Y.

Thornton, j. says: IN ~ te osSn;aion nafIias ~ ~
do with policy or expedlency. The Constitution
has created the Legislative and judicial De-
partments, tho one to make the Laws, and the
other to construe and administer them. It may
be mischieTous in it's effects, burdensome upon
tie people, conflict with our conceptions Of nat
ural right abstract justice, and pure morality,
and be Of doubtful propriety in numerous re-
spects; and yet We would not be justified to
hold that it was not within the scope Of legisla-
tive authority for such reasons"
Tested by the principles and governed by the
rules laid down by the eminent jurlsts above
quoted, it is difficult to sustain the decision of
judge Wood, that holds the Railroad law of this
State unconstitutional. and tie 18th section OF
article II Of tho Constitution imperative. It
cannot be sustained upon principle OF authority.
