When to Marry.

Probably the best time for the
average civilized woman to marry
would be any age between twenty-four
and thirty-siX. 1t is not said that no
woman should marry earlier or later
than either of these ages; but youth
and health and vigor are ordinarily at
their highest perfection between theso
two periods. Very early marriages
are seldom desirable for girls, and that
for many reasons. The brain is ina.
mature, the reason IS feeble, and the
character is uniformed. The consid-
erations which would prompt a girl to
marry at seventeen would in many
cases have very little weight with her
ut twenty-four. At seventeen she is u
child. at twenty-four woman. Where
a girl has intelligent parents, the
seven years between seventeen and
twenty-four are the period when bo.h
mind and body are most amenable TO
wise discipline, and best repay the
thought and toll devoted 10 their
development.
Before seventeen few girls haze
learned to understand what life -.
what discipline is, what duty is. Thhy
cannot value what is best, either IN
the fathers wisdom or in the mothet's
tenderness. When married at TIL at
childish period they are like your ,e-
cruits taken fresh from the farm " Id

can help grieving over child-wife,
especially if she have children, and a
husband who is an inexperienced and
possibly exacting boy-man? The ardor
of his love soon cools; the visionary
bliss of her poetical imagination
vanishes like the summer mist; there is
nothing left but disappointment and
wonder that what promised TO be so
beautiful and long day should have
.clouded over almost before sunrise.

General Sheridan at all times exhibited

gether, accompanied by other officers.
Among the passengers was a young
Engl.shman who frequently used TO
take hand at poker with the dis
tinguished travellers. The limit usual
ly was so cents. On one occasion the
Englishman wanted to get up to light
a cigar, and requested General Sheri-
dan to play his hand, which consisted
of four Jacks pat. for him. On the
Englishman's return he asked how his
hand had panned out.
