Early Marriage.

There are hundreds of young men
that should be married who are not
married. To marry early is discreet
and wise. And when men and women
are of a manageable age, think it to
be, In general, true, that il Is whole
some for them to be married. It is not
necessary that they should remain sin
gle because they stand in poverty; for
two can live cheaper than one, if they
live with discretion, if they live with
cooperative zeal, if they live as they
ought to live. If the young man is
willing to seem poor when he is poor ;
if the young woman, being poor, is will
ling to live poorly; if they are willing
to plant their lives together like two
seeds, and wait for their growth, and
look for their abundance by and by,
when they have fairly earned Is, then It
is good thing for them to come early
into this partnership. For characters
adapt themselves to each other in the
early periods of life far more easily
than they do afterward. They who
marry early are like vines growing to-
gether, and twining round and round
each other; whereas, multitudes of
those who marry late in life stand side
by side like two iron columns, which,
being separated at the beginning, never
come any nearer to each ether. There
is no school which God ever opened, or
permitted to be opened, which young
people can so i'll afford to avoid as the
school of care and responsibility and
labor in the household and a young
man and young woman marrying, no
matter from what source they came to-
gether, no matter how high their
fathers have stood, one of the most
wholesome things that they can do, hav-
ing married for love, and with discre-
tion, is to be willing to begin at the
bottom, and bear the burdens of house
hold life, so that they shall have its
education. tell you, there are pleas
ures which many young married people
miss. I would not give up the first two
years of my married life for all Rave
now. I live in a big house, with a
brown-stone front, and very fairly fur
nished; but, after all, among the
choicest experiences of my life were
those which passed through in In
diana, when I hired two chambers up
stairs ; when all my furniture was given
to me, and was secondhand at that
and when the very clothes which had
on my back had been worn by Judge
Birney before me. We were not able
to hire q servant. We had to serve
ourselves. It was a study every day
how to get along with our small means,
and it was study never to be forgot
ten. I owe many of the pleasures
which have run through my life to be-
ing willing to begin where had to be-
gin, and to fight poverty with love, and
to overcome it, and to learn how to live
in service and helpfulness, and in all
the thousani ingenuities which love
sweetens and makes more and more
delightful -Beecher.

The Financial Business.

Now we have been studying this fnan-
cial business over and we think we
understand it. Have read the quota
tions, eight columns solid nonpareil,
every evening just before bedtime. If
we wasn't dead broke we'd be broker.
Our half that wears a redingote woke
up the other night and, being little
restless because we had no funds with
Jay Cooke & Co., asked what they
meant by saying gold was weaker.
Here was our opportunity to show that
the eight columns solid nonparel had
worked. Turning over and planting
our feet against the footboard, we COM
menced at the beginning, and, review
ing the spirit of the times, explained
how money was required to move grain,
remarking at some length on the expe-
diency of an early resumption of
more substantial circulating medium,
and winding up with the present strin-
gency when every thing is tied up in
worthless and depressed stocks, and
showing how, while petroleum was easy
and whisky steady, and gold very much
down in the mouth, all that was neces-
sary was plenty of currency to move
grain, you know, and it was all right
Hgain. But women never can under
stand finance, though my wife knows
q dollar when she sees it, as quick as
anybody. Then we took a supposi-
tious case which we thought sufficient
ly near the point. "I draw my salary,
for the time being, 1 am long on cur
rency. Then 1 pay board and wash
bills, and by borrowing little manage
to buy very decent overeoat. I am
then short. Nothing could be more
simple. When my paper has matured
I go into the street and run all over the
treasury building for a loan. I bull
the market and throw out more paper
to cover my shorts. I bull it because
am not in a condition to bear it. Not
having any available securities, as a
gold watch or a diamond pin, fail to
cover. am panicy. Then my wife
duns ME for money to buy a cordof but
ton-moulds. Then 1 suspend. Per
fectly plain. Now why do 1 fail ?"
What do you suppose she said 2-No;
the fact is, she was asleep ali the time.
But she intimated the next morning
that had talked too much.-DaRbugy

TIE Boston Globe Is yexed to sec the
statement going the rounds of the press
that beetle is capable of lifting 315
times its own weight, while a man of or
binary muscular power is fully 100 times
feebler. Why should a mVn forever, it
asks, be brought into unfavorable com
parison with beetles? Has it ever struck
anybody how many beetles q man can
lift? We are also told for the thou
sandth time that the flea, scarcely
three-hundredths of an inch in height
manages to leap without difficulty over
barrier fully 500 times its own alti-
tude. For a man six feet is an unusu-
ally high leap. Imagine him jump
ing 5000 feet, or nearly three-ffths Of
a mile" We shall imagine no such
thing. 1t is well enough for flea to
Jump. He never does anything else,
except to make dogs life burden to
him. He never leaves his footprints on
the sands of time, or sounds the light
guitar. he never hired himself out to
turn a derrick in Chicago, or gave US
the least assistance during the great fire.
He has done nothing but jump 500
times his own altitude ever since he
was first created, and he viii continue
to do nothing else until his race becomes
extinct. It is inexpressibsy painful to
us to be continually taunted with the
fsct that mankind are not heas. ants,
beetles, or something Of that sort.

Fat Wives.

The people in portions of Africa have
many curious customs and supersti-
tions. Among the former may be men
toned the fashion of having fat wives.
Being introduced to great chiefs wife,
Speke thus describes her: "I was
struck with the extraordinary dimen-
sions, yet pleasing beauty, of the i'm
moderately fat fair one. She could not
rise, and so large were her arms that
the flesh between the joints hung down
like large, loose, stuffed puddings.
The chief, pointing to his wife, said /:
60 This is the product of our milk-pots !;
from early youth upward we keep these
pots to their mouths, as it is the fash
ion at the court to have very fat wives"
A sister-in-law of the king was a per-
feet wonder of hypertrophy. She was
unable to stand except on all-fours.
Spoke unblushingly requested per-
mission to measure her. This is the re-
suit
"Round the arm, % inches; chest,
90 inches thigh, 81 inches calf, 20
lncnes nelGhG, teet D inches. All OF
these are exact except the height, and 1
believe could have obtained this more
accurately if could have laid her on
the floor. Not knowing what difficult
ties Ishould have to contend with in
such piece of engineering, 1 tried to
get her height by raising her up. This,
after infinite exertions on the part of as
both, was accomplished, when she sank
down again fainting, for her blood had
rushed into her head. Meanwhile the
daughter had sat before us sucking at a
a milk-pot, on which the father kept
her at work by holding the rod in his
hand; for, as fattening is the first duty
of fashionable female life, it must be
duty enforced by the rod, if necessary"

THE two cigar steamers of Mr.. Ross
Winans of Baltimore make frequent
trips in the British channel, although
their officers taken pains to prevent any
knowledge of their capacity for speed
from becoming public. One of these
steamers was built at Cherbourg and
the other on the Clyde. The latter is
about 400 feet long, and is built ON a
different plan from the original cigar
steamer, which now lies at her wharf in
Baltimore. Instead of a wheel in the
senter the vessel has two propellers at
the extreme points of the cigar. The
cigar portion of the hull is submerged,
