RUNAWAY MARRIAGES.

The marriage laws in Virginia are very
strict. full account of the age, parents
names. occupations and residence being
required from both parties before n IL
cense is granted. a clergyman who mar
rieS minors without the parents consent
is liable to Imprisonment and fine of
100000. 1t is probably owing to these
safeguards about marriage that divorces
are SO rare in Virginia. Before the war
village called IIard-Scrsbble, Just over the
Pennsylvania line, was a sort of Gretna
Green, and a quondam shoemaker, who
had been chosen justice of the peace,
officiated as god of love to join the flying
lovers who hied to him to escape the law.
When they were very young however,
the old man often reasoned with them like
a father. and more than once sent them
home to learn wisdom with age. On one
occasion. when the girl was mere child,
Qumby. the shoemaker. laid down his
pipe, and fixed his eyes on her blushing,
trembling face Marry you?" taking up
two bits of thread. Yes, | can marry
you As quickly rs can tie this knot.
But" and the old man rose solemnly-
"only Gods hand can cut the knot asun-
der For the first time, perhaps, the
awful import of her act flashed upon the
girl. She burst into tears, and sobbed
out, Il want my mother"' ''I'll take
You to her, my child; and as for you,
young man. go about your business"
They were never married, and to the end
of her life the woman had reason to thank
the old man for his interference. The
papers have been filed lately with the
runaway matches Of two young girls, one
flying from Nassar College, the other
running away with a servant. Girls who
have never probably chosen dress for
themselves, in one rash moment fix mex
orably the fate of their whole future lives
The only argument they hear in the mat
ter is the good looks of a young fellow of
whom they know really nothing. Girls
so immature and unreasoning ought not
to be trusted to choose their every day
companions. Parents are to blame if
these companions lead them into lifelong
misery iouh'S Companion.
