Women They Marry.

Vanity Fair
The question which We considered
last week "Why Men Marry is an in
teresting one; but /. must be pronounc
ed inferior in interest to the question
why Women Marry in the degree
In which men are in all RESPECTS less
interesting than women. The vii.
lingness Of womru to marry is greater
and more paten. than that Of mem;
and, we will add, that it is great deal
more wonderful That women have, to
uss colloquial phrase, the worst of it
all through life, we entertain no doubt,
and that the matrimonial state, a. un-
derstood by experience, has, as a rnlr,
fewer attractions for them than men,
We also beliees to be- true.
Yet, while there are many Snen who
from choice abstain from marrying, and
still more pat of marrying till the last
practicabl. 0ioment, we doubt il there
are women worth mentioning who re-
fuse the murri.d state from option and
d-lib-ra.ion, and not many who post.
ponc marrying till a late period Of life
from general r-pugnance to having q
husband. That wom-n refsse individ-
ual men and sometimes 60 on re'nsln.
man att.r man, is true enough but
then their objection is to t,ie man and
not to the condition of life the man pro-
poses !; or, not unIr-qurutiy. their re.
fnsal arises from in-rs skitti-hnrss,
from t+,eling they may 60 better, or
from cheerful conviction that there is
pl".tv Of time to "think about it. v
As a rule. however, woIE-n who have
the chance of marrying, marry, and
they would marry yet more promptly
than they do we're it not that they are
frequently held back nom taking q
foolish step by wise parents or dissuad-
ing friends.
How is this apparent paradox to I've
explained There IL l.es 10 induce .
woman TO marry than to induce men:
yet men hesitate 10 marry and women
jump at marriage. Some will answer
that man is rational and women an
irrational animal; but over and above
the distinction being too uncomplimen
tary to be true, it is one Of those
plausible explanations that explain
nothing. Again, it is sometimes affirm
ed that in marrying men sacrifice lib
erty, whereas women, in marrying,
acquire it. But this is an epigraui
easily disposed of. When men sacrifice
what is called their liberty by marry
ing, they are already tired of their lib
srty, or that particular form of it which
bachelorhood enjoys; and were the
point thoroughly examined. We suspect
it would be found that they abandon a
form of liberty of which they are weary
for another term they have not yet

THE LIGHTKFEPER'S DAUGH-
ter.

| Never was II iairer maiden lived
Than bonny, blue.cyed Alice;
Her hair was like the daftodils,
Her brow like lily's cha'ice.
Within the lighthouse, from babe
She'd dwclt and knew no sadness,
But ey'ry night dreamed happy dreams,
And woke each day to gladncss.
And closely Crowding round her home,
The spirits OF the water,
With many shell and sea plant rare,
nd ocean jewel sought herr
For brighter lar than the sun or star
They held the keepers daughter
But sailed ship from foreign landf,
And handsome lover brought her;
He came to see the lighthouse grim,
And saw the keepers daughter.
The eve OF the wedding day was set,
Her fathers face was cl0uded,
nd eH the liz Int that burned on high
Seemed half In darkness shrouded.
And sad the wind pOancd when the maid
Other old friends bethought hcr--
And leaning from the door, looked out
Upon the moonlt water,
Where whispers low went to ana fr0
About the keepers daughter.
farewolll' she cried; "whcn night IL gone
shall no longer tarry,
But HE to town at early morn,
My own true love 10 marry
And bending low kiss she threw
"GOod-byc, my waves. forever.
But ah though passed the night away.
Her wedding day came neyer
For from the flashing, silvered foam
White arms reached up and caught her,
And drew her down to dwell among
The spirits OF the water:
They could not bear 10 part with her,
The keepers blue eyed oaughter

The Revival ut Delaware Avenue
baptist Church.

Last evening this church surely bore
out the truth that God uses those who
are willing to be used in his service,
and he certainly is using the people Of
this church in their efforts to point per-
ishing souls to n savio.r in Jesus. The
pastor, Rev. MIR. Hald-man, preached a
searching sermon from the language OF
Christ, ale that heliev-th not shall be
damned, p little thing not to believe,
bnt as the importance Of the grave mat
ter was shown to the multitude who
b. d crowded the lecture room many
cheeks were wet with penitential tears,
and when an invitation was given nine
persons asked an interest in the prayers
of Gods people by arising to their feet
and seven anxious inquirers were sent
away rejoicing in the knowledge of
present forgiveness OF sin and an ever
lasting salvation in Jesus Christ. VIVA,
u grand thing it will be when christians
quit debating the question OF the best
means to carry on revival, and he
submissive to the headings of the spirit
and l~ willing to be used Of the Master.
