Too Much Marrying.

There is altogether too much marry
ing, by a sorm of law, those who AT
the most are only third or half mar
ried in other ways. And there is alto
gether too much urging and cuaXIng.
and alluring young people into the
most important aud sacred of all hu-
man relations before they are prepar-
ed or moved to assume its burdens,
and by those who ought to know better
and act with more consideration, We
make too much of marrying aud be-
ing married. until it is thought by
many penlne, somewhat Of Il Disgrace
for woman To pass through life alone
when in fact, the life of many single
woman Is poetry, romance, rapture
even, in con- mlarlsun " iLh that OF many
wife. So there is u vast deal Ot mar
rying with very little OF real marry
ing; vart deal of discunten., heart
acEe, misery, hypocrisy and unmarrl =
ing at the last. What we want i'd not
q more stringent divorce law, bnt a
Letter understanding of the moral law ,
which fUrbiis the marrying "f those
not already one not less marrying,
where there is no real marrying. And,
above all, lat there be no melting or
hrlbing lhuse To marry who are not
drawn 10 each other, aud held INSOFAR
ably together by qualities Of mind and
soul.

SPEAKING of the escape Of Ganum
Mynatt and Bill Smith from the PEN
itentiarys the Memphis Ledger says,
''This makes five desperate men
who have quietly walked off In the
last month or so They did not get
away by burrowing under the wall
cutting through iron doors or desper
ate encounters with well armed and
vigilant guards. A man would be n
great fool to run such desperate risks
when he can ride out at the back gate
or walk out on the front way like a
gentleman. There is loseness about
the management of this prison which
the gentlemanly prisoners admire"

The New York Tunes has been making
4 llttl- canvass Of the party in the State, and
has advice from prominent Republicans in
thirty c5untie-. Nearly all Of them refer to
the Goyernor,hip. They are generally
agreed that E. D. Morgan, W NJ. Eyarts, or
e. v. Curtis, should be the man, and that
the party Will take serious risks to say the
least-in taking any weaker candidate.

description Of the situation il the Second
District, confined wholly to a statement Of
the fact, wiki the single added EXPRESSION
OF hope tina; c1nciliatorY course would
be taken ly the two sides Of the unfor-
tunate controversy which has divided the
Republican party in the District. This is
distorted blythe Rutland Globe into declara-
ton on the part Of Hon. D. c. Denison that
he must be re-nominatei or he will bolt. To
tair-minied readers Of our article it is not
necessary to say that it could bear no such
Interpretation. We did not profess by word
or hint, to speak for Mr.. Denison, nor IN
dertake to say what his personal desires or
intentions might be. Our remark that
% the men who elected Mr.. Denison have
the power II re-elect hin, was but the
statement of an obvious fact and it was
not the utterance OF any threat TO men
tion the equally obvious fact that eontin-
gency which should present the same issue
a that which brought about tho split Of two
YEAR ago, would inevitably be followed BY
tie same results J I NAV be very unfJr-
tunate that it >hou' d be 50 but it would lie
simply human nat ure.

an this importar emergency, the Republicans
Of the Second District Will take the course
which viii be the surest and shortest way TO
a restoration Of harmony in their ranks

Tug THIRD DIs1Rcr- Referring to the
convention to be held in the Third District
of Vermont. on the 10Th Of August, the
Naaona, Republican, under date OF the
9th inst, editorially remarks
The Republicans of the Third Congress
sional District Of Vermont, hold their Con
yention about the middle of August. As
usual. there are candidates enough, but 1t
Is to be hoped that the present and worthy
representative from that District will be
nominated Gov. Hendee has acquitted
himself with great credit as Representa-
tive. and signally as a member Of the com
mittee on the District Of Columbia, and his
District could not do itself more honor, nor
this District more valuable service, than to
send him TO the next House. The country
nav want something besides He1 Repub-
lean members OF Congress for awhile.
In reference to This, our Washington cor
respondent adds ." | can take issue with
the Republican in these wise suggestions,
only in one particular, viz That there are
plenty Of candidates in the field. Had the
RePu5hcGa known how the people Oh the
Third District appreciate their Representa-
tive, j; would not have fallen into this
error. It Is not believed there will be any
opposition to Gov. Hendee's nomination.
He has served his country, the State and his
District well and faithfully. lie has had
legislative experience enough to enable him
to be one Of the most useful and leading
members Of the House He Is incompatible
and the people Of Vermont are not slow 10
see and appreciate these facts.
