The Right Time to Get Married.

One Of the things young people seem
most anxious to know is ''the right time
to get married." as.some put it.
The great majority of young people
are poor, and get comparatively small
wages They naturally suppose that
if they get married, it will cost them
more to live than it costs while they
are single. So the question with them
is Shall we marry while we are
young and poor, or wait until We get
better ofi?"
There is no rule laid down on this
subject which will fit all eases. Some
people are naturally so industrious and
thrifty that they will get along under
almost any circumstances. The right
time for the first class to get married
is whenever they choose to do so, while
the right time for the other class to get
married is seldom if it ever comes at
all.

rHE amendment to the state consti.
tuition of Illinois, which was voted on
at the late election, is unqucstionably
adopted. When this result is officially
,Hccrtnined, and The governor issues
his proclamation declaring its adoption,
the amendment goes into effect II
provides that county judges, county
clerks, sheriils and treasurers shall he
elected ut the state election IN 1889 and
every four years thereafter, and that nj
Tie presidential election IN 1884 and
every four years thereafter coroncrs
and circuit clerks shall bc elected, The
effect of the amendment is to save the
counties the expense Of ono election
every four years. II makes the terms
Of MI county officers four years, and
makes both sheriils and trcasurcrs IN.
eligible for two successive terms An.
other result is TINT it continues in office
