Children On Marriage.

Children are the keene5t of ObServ-
ers and the most practical deducers;
indeed, their deductions are often
more astonishing than agreeable to
their elders. Though we laugh, we
do not always enjoy having our weak
ness revealed to us by the babbling of
babes.
Six little children were at play, and
whether il was that they grew tired Of
familiar games or that that innate
principle, 'It is not good for man to
be alone" crayed expression, they de-
termined to have Q wedding. John,
aged 8, should marry Hattie, aged 5,

papa and mamma considered OF
paramount virtue, and surely what
they each so eagerly desired must
constitute the requisite of happy
married life.
The candidates for wedlock were re
quested to stand side by side and
gravely obeyed.
Hattie, you will get up in the
morning and see that John has his
breakfast in time and that he has
good things to eat and never has tc
wait for his meals?"

money she wants?'

tain the quintessence of married fell
