A Suppressed Genias.

The Detroit Free Press says A Cas- av-
enue father procured an outfit of OIL paints
and brushes for his eight-year-old son the
other day, the lad having developed y tall
ent for drawing. Little was seen Of the
boy for two or three days, and then he led
them into the parlor, and triumphantly
pointed to the proofs of his artistic skill.
The gilt paper on the walls formed a fine
groundwork for him, and be had painted
horse over one door, q lion over anoth-
er, bird over third, and at intervals
along the walls be had brought out fish
ing dogs, ships, ire-engines, Indians in full
dress, and bears chasing boys. he had
put a new border on the bay-window cur
tains, striped the legs Of the piano, and
proceeded to touch up and improve certain
chromos and oil paintings hanging on the
walls. Father and mother gazed around,
and the young artist anxiously waited for
them to pat him on his head and say that
they were proud of such a son. They
didn't pat him-not very much. The Ia
ther placed the sons ear between his
thumb and finger. and led him through
several rooms to the woodshed, and what
followed may be inferred from q remark
dropped by the boy and overheard by .
pedestrian, "Oh, father, let up on me, and
III never be an artist any more"

We Marry Too Young.

A New York medical journal sensibly
says: Amongst our American population
perhaps particularly the first and second
generations from emigrant parents-there
appears to be very strong tendency to
marry young. This very especially APP
plies to the female portion of the commu-
nifty. American young men seem infatu-
ated about marrying girls not out of their
teens. A young woman of twenty-four or
twenty-five years OF age, in the city, is an
''old maid" Marrying young men seek
a union with children Of fifteen to seven-
teen years OF age-girls that ought to be
in charge of their parents for some years
to come. instead of becoming mothers
themselves.
This infatuation results in undeveloped,
growing girls thus becoming young moth-
ers before they are fit to leave their own
mothers care. The first consequence of
this is that the infant offspring of a beard
less boy of eighteen or nineteen years of
age and childish girl of fifteen or sixteen
years, possesses but little stamina and soon
droops and dwindles, and dies in the first
weeks or months of its existence.
Crossing from Brooklyn to New York
on a ferry-boat, recently, we observed a
pale, delicate, unhealthy Hooking little girl
trying to pacify sickly, crying, dying in
FAINT. For little time we were complete
ly puzzled in conjecturing whether the
little girl was the mother of that dying in
FAINT or not. And yet she handled the ba-
by with something of that air only a moth
er can manifest. Being curious to ascer-
tain the truth Of the matter, we made Free
with endless apologies, to ask that girl if
she were really the infants mother. With
somewhat Of color rising in her pale cheeks
and a mothers pride she said:
"Yes, sir, this is my child"
Heartily and sincerely did we pity
that little girl Without strength herr
self, there was that poor lite infant want
ing in vitality. Before this article meets
the eyes of our readers, that poor babe
must be amongst those that figure in DR..

we were reaching. Monsieur de Malouet
and myself, the top of the stoop, leaving
the rival pretenders to vie and struggle
with increasing ardor, the Little Countess,
intimidated perhaps by the presence Of the
marquis, resolved to put an end to the
scene, and thrust abruptly her cigarette
into my hand, saying:
"Herel it's for you'll After all, you jump
better than any of them"
And she disappeared after this parting
shaft, which possessed the double advan-
tage of hitting at once both the victor
and tie vanquished.
This was, so far as am concerned, the
last noticeable episode of the evening.
After game or two of whist, / pretexed
a little fatigue, and Monsieur de Malouet
had the kindness to escort me in person
to pretty little room, hung with chintz
and contiguous to the library. 1 was dis
turbed during part of the night by the
monotonous sound of the piano and the
rumbIing noise,of carriages, indications of
civilization which made me regret more
bitterly than ever my poor Thebais.
