Marrying Early.

The New York Evening Post says OBJ
servation among ones acqusinlances
shows the fact to be that people do mol
marry early nowadays, and, indeed, as o
general rule, do not marry early enough
In many cases that event takes place
as result OF prudence and calculation
The New York Ledger rejolns: We
cannot agree with our contemporary in
regarding time as so important an ele.
ment in marriage. A girl can afford to
wait great many years rather than mar.
ry any one but the right man !; while, on
the other hand, it may Re wise for man
to marry the right girl a. soon as he is
sure he has found her, no matter how
early. As Herrick Gang, 30 be may say
TO himself:
"Gather ye rose-buds while ye may:
Old Time is still a.Aying;
And this same f,wer that smiles to-day,
To-morrow will be dying.
.'Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry."
Our contemporary speaks of prudence
and calculation in the same breath, as
though each was equally Objectionable
ln the selection of wife. but we cannot
60 so far. Surely prudence should be
an element in every matrimonial arrange
ment.

"Sbe-uas-a-good-wi wife-to me.
A good wife, Gpd bless heri'
The words were spoken in trembling
accents over coffin-id The woman
asleep there had borne the heat and bur-
den OF life's long day, and no one had
ever heard her murmur; her hand was
quick TO reach out In helping grasp to
those who fell by the wayside, and her
feet were swift on errands of mercy the
heart OF her husband had trusted in her;
be had left her to long hours OF solitude
while he amused himself in scenes in
which she had no part. When boon
companions deserted him, when tickle
ST ction selishly departed, when pleas.
ure palled, he weLt home aud found her
waiting for him.
Come from your long, long rowing.
On life's sea SO bleak and rough,
Come to me tender and loving.
And ! shall be blest enough"
That had been her love.song-always
on ber lips or in her heart. Children
had been horn to them. She had reared
them almost alone-they were gone
Her hand bad led them TO the uttermost
edge of the morning that has no noon
Then she bad comforted him, and sent
him out strong and whole.hearted while
she STAYED al hume and-cried. What
can woman do but cry f-and trustf
Well, she Is at rest now. But she

it is even so. For she was blest 10 Civ
ing and he in receiving. 1t was an equal
partnership after all
She-was-a-good- wife-to-me.
Oh, mani man! Why not have told
her 90, when her ears were not dulled hy
death ? Why wait to say these words
over coffia wherein lies wasted, weary,
gray-haired woman, whose eyes have so
long held that pathetic story of loss and
suffering and patient yearning, which so
many women's eyes reveal-to those who
read. Why not have made the wilder
ness in her heart blossom like the rose
with the prodigality Of your lover Now
you would give worlds were they yours
to give-to see the tears Of JOY your
words would have once caused, bejewel.
