In considering this record, it should be re-
memoered that women, and men, too, mature
somewhat earlier in France than in England,
or 10 the Northern and Middle States of Am
erica. Our girls are no older at twenty than
French girls are at eighteen. In the South,
toward the tropics, girls mature as 10 France
aud ltay y, and the rate of development is cor
respondlogly the same with men.
We think it would be better for the health
and vlgor of our people, now aud 10 time to
come, did our girls not marry till after twenty,
and our men, say till after twenty-five, or even
'"enty-four. The marriages of green girls and
greco boys are productive of most unhappy re-
suits, and should DOT be permitted.
