ton that the young lady who has given
him her heart IL much 10 be pitied. II
will be pointed out that he 10 q spooney
and q molly -coddle, that he knows nothing
of life, Is utterly inexperienced in the
WAYS of the world, and wholly unfit to

persons will be lost In credulous admir-
alton of q man who, with such tempta-
tons to kick over the traces, has never
gone out of steady jog-trot.
No one who has often been behind the
scenes when news Of an engagement first
begins to circulate, will deny that this is
the temper in which the announcement Is
received. It will, perhaps, be thought
that we desire to reprehend, or at least to
satirixe, this method Of regarding q
match a. good or bad. But we cherish
no such wish. We consider the question,
ais It q good matchi" q most natural,
proper and timely one; the only thing
that perhaps rathss startles us being the
more sanctimonious and less mundane

importance, and when marriage IL being
considered, to use the young Scotch lady Q
expression, In the abstract. If you ask o
respectable lady Of middle life what are
the ingredients thar render married life
happy and admirable, she will mention
virtue, health, good temper, similarity Of
tastes, congenial sentiments, and then
competency last In her list. But when
she comes to business, she knows that a
competency 10 the most important Of all
things, and the sound instinct leads her
to put it In the front rank In her army Of
interrogatories. Going step further she
knows that In most cases wealth lie still
better thing than q mere competency.
Virtue may keep two people out Of the
divorce court; good temper may prevent
them from now and then having con-
jugal skirmish, and similarity of tastes
may render evenings at home trifle less
long. But money will enable them to
spend their evenings not ct home, if they
find them dull; money will I'LL the stable,

rather simple natures. But q good
match provides as good substitute for
friendship and friends as. most people
