Too Young TO Marry.

About twelve months ago an ar
dent couple applied to justice
Young in st. Louis to perform the
interesting ceremony which, by a
fiction of the law, makes men and
women one flesh. The justice ques-
toned the lovers very closely, and,
being satisfied that the would-be
bride was under age, refused tc
Join their hands in matrimony.--
The young people begged hard
and offered twice the usual fee, but
without avail. "My dear youne
lady," said the Judge in an insinu
ating tone of voice for which he il
famous, ''it would give me th,
greatest pleasure imaginable to un

My feet are wearied, and my hands are tired
My soul oppressed
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest.

In barren ways;
'Tis hard to sow aud never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear ..,
But God knows best:
And L have prayed, but vain has been my prayer
For rest--swcet rest.
'Tis hard to plant in spring and never reap
The autumn yield;
'Tis hard TO till-and when tits titled to weep
Der fruitess field.
And so I cry weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And sigh weak and human sigh
For rest-for rest.
My way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path and through the flowing Of hot tears
Ipined for rest.
Twas always 80; when still child, laid
On mothers breast
