A DARK OUTLOOK.

10 INC EulI0r Ol lnt ShlchBu lIpuhe
CntNAuo, August 81 The Tribune
having invited the boys and girls to dis.
cuSs The marriage question through It's
columns, a few thoughts are herewith pre-
scented. II occurs to the subscriber that
marriage among men and women OF mod
crate means has become impracticable or
hazardous. In fact from the financial
standpoint-a young man who under.
takes to increase his happiness through
that closer alliance with his sweetheart
on capital Of less than $1,000 or $4,000,
unless his "girl" is capable Of helping
him to earn money, or otherwise repair
the waste Of his capital, will find mar.
ried life rather uphill business, as things
are now organized. Allowance ia here
made for the compensating feature Of
real love between the partics--that love
which Is the fulfilling Of the law, as II
were. But IL seems to be a sort Of neCes.
sity IN these modern times for men to
work the daylight out Of themselves, and
thus diminish their capacity for loving
and being loved, and all the while deteri-
crate In material wealth.
There Ia something steadily pulling
back and exhauSting the means Of young
men III the present system Of things, and
II Is found that the older citizens Of our
country are, on the other hand, increns.
Ing their capital, and for the most part
they are marriedahd live in comparative
ease.
Now, where capital Is 10 difficult 10
obtain, and hard 10 keep after obtained,
because Of this exhauStihg process which
may be indicated as high taxes, ts1fy,
and other lawful exActions), the genuine
article Of Congugal love-even that.
scarcely warrants the contamination oil
marriage among young men and women,
Times Amt as they used to be. For.
tunes are not now so easily made. Misefs
are not less unfeeling, and the love Of
property, which is the root Of all evil, and
which has always crowded love aside, In;
cteases with age. This blind love Of
money must run its course. II must
come TO be perfectly Ridiculous and alb.
sufd In the estimation Of inch and wO.
men, IA they grow In knowledge and wis.
dom. By and by the order will be re.
versei, and out Of the thickest and dark.
eat Of The gloom which now overhangs
shall burst forth the great illea Of love Of
man "a contra.distihguished from that Of
money Tor property, and that idea will
become power unto the establishment Of
a better and happier state Of things among
men,
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1875-08-31

But because II seems to win admiration
easily land women love admiration, Of
course), some hide their best natures
under veil OF CoquetEy, and spend their
time in unsatisfactory airtatious, But
there are women who refuse many offers
Of marriage because those who make them
are morally, intellectually, or socially
their Interiors, Are they not rightl Has
woman any right to marry beneath her ?
/ think not,-from a moral and intel
lectual standpoint,
Young people ought to try to find the
best part Of each others characters; and
flirting, catering, playing the gallant,
won't accomplish this, nor lead to that
thorough appreciation and respect which
are the fOrerunnerso Of love.
Sympathy is the open sesame to every
ones best nature, and "real folks" will
find each other out ii they will Just act
out their best, noblest impulses, instead
Of concealing them Us things to bo
ashamed OF.
And though there might be more mar
riages, young girls are hardlysO poverty
stricken in the matter OF proposals US
one would infer from the remark that
they spend their time Stocking out Of lat
tees wondering why young men do not
come" They do come to most OF them,
and are sent away, only tho young men
preserve discreet silence on this subject.
