These oparkers ere looked upon b.
parents generally rs = nuisance, and
often they are right. Nine-tenths Of
the sparkling IS done by boys who
haven't got their growth, and they
look SO green that it il laughable for
the old. folks TO look at them. They
haven't generally got a Second shirt,
and they are no more qualified ID get
married than u cow Is 20 preach. And
YET marrying is the first thing they
think Of. 4 green boy without . dol

girl regularly and talking about mar

will hot quit it until he is able to sup
port q wife, snd to know whom he
loves, and the difference between love
and passion, he should be quarantined
or put into a convent, erected on paw
pose for such cases. Nine-tenths of
the unhappy marriages are The result
Of green, human beings allowed 10 run
at large in the society pasture without
any yokes on them. They marry and
have children before they do NOUS
taches; they are the father Of twins
before they are the proprietors Of two
pair Of pants, and the little girls they
marry are old women before they are
twenty years old. Occasionally n OF
these gosling marriages Turns out all
right, but it is a clear case of luck. IL
there was a law against young galoots
sparkling and marrying before they
have all their teeth cut, we suppose
the little eusses would evade it in
some way, but there ought TO be 4 SEN
timent against it. 1t is time enough
for these bautams To think of finding q
pullet when they have raised money
enough by their own work to buy a
bundle of laths to build Il hen house.

and they are afraid that there not 60

out Of breath, and abuse the doctor
because he does not run too; and
l when the doctor gets there he finds
I that there is not linen enough in the
