Tine for MatrlmOny.

Among the ancient Germans,
than whom q finer race never exis-
ted, it was death to any woman to
marry before she was twenty years
old. By fine laws Of Lycurgus the
most special attention was paid to
the physical education, aud no deli.
cate or sickIy women were, on any
. account, allowed to marry. DR..
Johnston, in his work of Economy
Of HEALTH" says that matrimony
should not be contracted until the
first year Of the fourth septennial on
the part Of the lady, nor before the
last year Of the same in the case Of
the gentleman. In other words, the
female should be at least twenty-one
years Of age, and the male twenty
eight years. TIE Doctor says there
should be q difference of seven years
between the sexes, at whatever
period Of lite the connection
is contracted. There is q differ.
ence Of seven years, not in the
actual duration of life in the two
sexes, but in the stamina Of the
constitution, the symmetry of the
form all linameuts of the face. In
respect to early marriage, so far as
it concerns the softer sex, for every
year at which marriage is entered
upon before the age Of twenty one,
there will be, on an average, three
years Of premature decay, more or
less apparent, Of the corporal fabric.

down his head, and said the first
