About Young Men Getting
Married.

A young man on a salary should
not get married unless he is able,
while single, to lay up a single per
centage of his pay. He has stated
duties to attend to, and with or
without a wife he can perform
them. He may be much happier
with a wife, 1t is true ; but not un-
less he is able to support her, which
he can hardly expect to do if,
when single, he does no. lay aside
something.
With a young farmer,or a young
man engaged in business of any
kind on his own account, the case
is different. The chances of success
to a married man are proverbially
better. His wife's sympathy and
