w HIN TO MARRY,

There are only two events in a mans
life of SO much Importance to him in a
business point of view as that of getting
married, and these two supreme incidents
are being born and dying. The impor-
tance of these is greatly enhanced by the
TACT that as general thing he has no
control over them, but, theoretically at
least, he can to certain extent have
something to say on the subject of his
marriage, both as to time, quantity and
duration. And it is proper for those
about to enter into this state to know
the proper age when they should begin
to think about assuming a mother-in-law
The world is full of precedents, very for
tunately, and referring back to an early
late he will find that Adam and Eve
were united in the holy bonds in the first
year of their age. There were circum-
stances surrounding this party which
rcnder the case valueless as precedent,
excepting so far as it may stand as a
warning against youthful or hasty mar
riages. The field Of selection was very
limited.
The peculiar exigencies of the case
seemed to call for prompt action on
Adams part. He found himself alone,
with an unprotected female, in a very
dependent situation, born an orphan, as
it were, and having no male cousins she
could look up to for support or found
ling hospital to retire to. Adam, as the
'6rst gentleman in the land, couldn't do
any less than he did in hurrying up the
wedding without waiting for bridal
trousseau from Worth's. As the bride
brought nothing into the general family
stock this has always been looked upon
as a one-sided transaction, and some wise
acres are inclined to think that Adam
might have done better than he did had
he only waited few years and married
some of his descendants.
There are other great men who have
furnished better examples to young
people. Shakespeare married when he
was eighteen. That proved to be little
too early, and the immortal bard of
Avon was sorry all his life that he hadn't
postponed the event a few wears, saw
forty-five or fifty, until he had arrived at
years of discretion and his Annie had
Joined her ancestors.
Ben. Jonson married at twenty-one.
His married life is supposed to have been
one of placid felicity. As he was called
by his friends and neighbors 'Rare Ben.
Jonson," it is inferred that he never
suffered any domestic broils or ever found
himself in hot water. Franklin (Ben.
also married at twenty-one, but there
wasn't much in his domestic career or
conduct to recommend that particular
aye to future candidates for matrimony.
\ good many men of note, like Byron,

A GLIMPSE OF HEAVEN. "A child
three years old was dying of scarlet
fever. She fingered long, and the last
day Of her lie she was unconscious
for hours. Many times her mother
tried to rouse her, but in vain. She
secmed TO be sinking away in death
without a token of recognition. Sud-
denly she opened her eyes wide, lifted
her head and looked around the room
as though filled with wonder and dc
light. She clapped her hands and
cried eagerly to her mother, "Oh, me-
ma, see the beautiful children! Hei
mother said, "Where" "Oh, all
around she replied, and she turned
her head as though she saw them in
every direction. No written words
can describe the rapture Of her look
and voice. "They are coming, they
are coming, they are close to me" SHE
said IN a transport Of joy. She put
up both hands, laughing out with that
glpeful, ringing sound peculiar to little
children, and then she died. Chris
