CURIOUS STATISTICS OF MARRIAGE-I
10 a people of d statistical, rather than
a sentimental turn, the mathematics of
marriage in different countries may
prove an attractive theme of meditation.
1t IS found that young men from fifteen
to twenty years OF age marry young wO-
men averaging two Or three years older
than themselves, but if they DELAY mar
riage until they are twenty or twenty
five years old, their spouse average n
year younger than themselves; and
thenoeforward this difference steadily
increases, till in extreme old age, ON the
bridegroom's part, it is aptstOb be enorm-

wed misses IN theIrteensis an every day

the lOve-matches of boys that the statis-
tics bear. out the satires of Thackeray
and Balzac. Again, the husbands Of
young women aged twenty years and
under average a little above twenty five
years, and the inequality of age dimin-

have reached thirty the respective ages

like men, marry those yOunge than

Inc great numDer OF marriages for
men take place between the ages Of
twenty and twenty-five in England, be-

and between twenty-five and t~Iirty-fiye

A WOMAN's LOVE.-SOme few DAYS
SINCE a well-dressed gentleman, appar-
entity IN Well-tO-dO circumstances, came.
to this city from some OintOn the shore,
where he had been engaged in lumber
ing operations, in q feeble state of
health, and has since been confined to
his bed. Recently his condition was
such that although the attending phy-
stefan saw no immediate cause of fear.
the patient was disposed to feel that
there was a probability Of an early dis
solution, and that death at any time
might terminate his earthly suffering.
SO strong had this feeling grown that
the unfortunate man communicated TO
the attending physician his fears, and
requested him to convey the news rem
thy to a lady in Romeo, Michigan, whom
he loved more dearly than life. He
cautioned him against brOaching the
matter too rudely, as she was o tender
flower, and the shock might be too
great for her sensitive nature. The
Doctor made a careful minnie of all
these requests, and in strict observance
of all injnnctions wrote to the lady as
desired. The answer came back prompt
ly, and to the point, as follows:
"Dr.-, | care nothing for that
My, nor to hear from him. You
will please tell him to send no more
Word. Miss P.
"P. Skin him."
The Doctor, it scarcely needed to be
added, was touched with this unexpec-
ted display of affection on the part of
the tender-hearted maiden, so touched,
indeed, that he has not feltlike commn2
nlcating with the sick man on the sub
ject: IT the condition of the latter was
at all critical in the start, it was chart
table to suppose that this letter would
atfectionatly dispose of him. AS the
Doctor does not care to follow the fem
mime advice, but, on theeontrary, hopes
to restore his patient to health, he has
concluded to keep the result of his cor
respOndenee q secret.-[From the Sari-
nav (Mich.l Courier.
