Reports from the British representatives
abroad. showing the earliest age at which
marriages can be legally solemnized in
each of the States of the Cont nent of Eu-
rope, have been presented TO the House of
Commons, IN pursuance OF their address
dated June Is. 1874. In Austria the age
of discretion, both for males aud females,
Is fourteen, and this period Of life must be
reached on both sides before n marriage
can be valid. In Hungary, however, the
marriage laws are entirely ecclesiastical,
and males of the Roman Catholic confess
sion cannot contract marriage until they
have completed their fourteenth year, nor
females till they are twelve years of age.
The Orthodox Greek Church follows the
same rule; but Protestants consider males
under the age Of eighteen and females un.
der the age of fifteen unable to contract
valid marriages. In ~Cisleithania, Jews
are subject to the civil law but In Hun
gary there Is no restriction as to the age
at which they may marry. In Russia.
eighteen years for males and sixteen for
females are the periods of life at which
marriage may be legally contracted. In
Turkey, there Is no general law upon the
subject Of manageable ages. The Italian
law fixes eighteen years for males and fif-
teen years for females rs the earliest time
Of life at which marriages may be solemn
lied. Prussia, by the statute of Deem
Der, 1872, sanctions marriage In the case
of males on the completion of their eight
zenith year, and the fourteenth year in the
case Of females, no exception being al
lowed to these provisions. The law In
France states the earliest age at which
marriages can b. contracted TO be eighteen
years in the case Of males and fifteen in
the case of females, but powers
OF dispensation are reserved by the code.
Under the old monarchy, boys could marry
at the age OF fourteen and girls at twelve,
a. under ancient Roman and even Athen-
ian law. The Belgian code is the same as

The new law does not change the rate

The new law went into effect on March

Last summer a pair Of robin red-breasts
built their nests in the vicinity of a fash
ionable country boarding house. In due
time the heads of -four young robins were
observed by some of the boarders peering
above the sides of the nest, when some
thoughtless boys passing that way shot
both the parent birds and left the young
ones to perish.
The ladies and gentlemen, moved 10
pity by the hapless condition Of the poor
little birds, were devising plans for their
relief when a little brown wren flew to
the nest. surveyed the unfortunate state of
things for a moment, then disappeared.
In a few minutes it returned. bearing
food of some kind for the starving rob.

Much surprised at tlhs, the human SYM
pathizers resolved 10 await further devel-
opments before proceeding to put their
plans of relief into operation, and were
delighted To find the wren had in real
good earnest assumed the care of that or
phan family. With Intiring energy il
hunte1Svorms and food of such kinds as
was suited to the wants and tastes of its
proteges, and continued its kindly offices
until the robins were ful l-ficdgcd and able
to take care of themselves.

ty, and submit the question whether reas-
on or instinct was the governing power

And yet but yesterday it seems,
We were as young as they.

Her sons are statesmen, too;
No fields are half so fair as hers,
No skies are half so blue.
