A Very Uncertain Young Man.

A young man in Minnesota asks us very
silly question. Yet we publish his letter be-
cause 1t gives us an opportunity to treat rs
they deserve whole class OF fellows who pro-
TESS to be in the same uncertainty OF mind:
SIR: Am ~ years Old and have income of nearly
81 so aNear, my work being OF literary nature My
position has been attained entirely by my own efforts
and during the past few years have saved from 81 500
to 5000 neither drink iutoxcants, tobacco,
gamble. | have difficulty in making myself
agreeable to my lady friends Ny trouble is that can,
not love one OF them. am acquainted with two young
ladies' either Of whom would l believe, make a good
wife, believe that could love and be happy with the
the other. But have no special affection for
either. What shall dor Should be Justified In asking
OF the two ladies' referred be my wife II 20,
how shall decide which. seeing that admire the one
much as the other, and think the about well
adapted to me AS the otherW
There is enc uncertainty in tho case OF this
Minnesota young man OF which he forgets
to take account, and which. indeed he seems
to entirely ignore in his conceit. 1t Is whether
either of the girls would be willing to take q
fellow Of so little decision OF character for q
husband. AS for ourselves, we should advise
both OF them to avoid the risk OF marrying
man OF that sort. For it might happen that
he would discover after the wedding that his
succession Of women, and that he was still
uncertain as to the one he most cared for.
If he would be as happy with one of the
two girls he names as with the other, then
he would be just rs happy if he married
either Of many thousand pairs of girls, for
those Minnesota maidens are not exceptional
among women in their capacity to be charm
ing and amiable. And really we imagine
that it would make little difference with him
whether he took one or the other, or went
further and searched for two other girls
pleasing to him to choose between.
II man cannot make up his mind that he
wants to marry woman, and her especially,
he would best forego matrimonial engage
ments for the present. Perhaps in timo his
hayward fanccs will get concentrated, and
he can decide for himself, without help,
whether he is in love with the girl or not.
Indeed, that is pretty poor specimen of n
young man who needs to be told whether he
loves woman enough to ask her to marry
him. Circumstances may doubtless occur in
which II is wise for man and for woman
to hesitate about marrying, no matter how
much they are in love. Tho individual loved
may be unit for matrimony. Their iudg-
ment may control their affections SO far as
to prevent an obviously unsuitable marriage.
But the case of man who IL certain neither
as to what his affections are nor as TO what
his Judgment ought to be, is hardly worth
consideration. He is simply II fellow whose
heart has not vet boon touched, much less
absorbed, by th3 tender passion. 1t is an
impcrtnencc for him to bore others with
his waverng ianclos in regard to matrimony.

The Hon. ROSWELL P FLOWER has posi-
lively declined to stand as candidate for Con-
gross in the Eleventh district OF this city. He
does not wish for the office. and as there Is no
difficulty in the election Of any competent
Democrat In that district. he feels himself free
to withdraw.
While Mr.. Flowers career as a Congressman
has been one OF credit and usefulness. the pub
lie owe him IN especial obligation for beating
Mr.. W. w. Aston as he did in 1881. Mr.. Aston
sought to get himself elected by the lavish ex-
penditure Of money and his defeat was signal.
This was largely due to the devotion. energy.
and ability Of Mr.. FLOWER. For his services In
that memorable struggle he should ever be es-
teemed public benefactor.

The nomination Of ALEXANDER V. DAVID
