Is Marriage a Failure ?

From Mothers and Daughters s Column" of the Connecticut Farmer of April 18th, we clip the following article written by a correspondent with the rom de plume .' Tanglefoot." '. Sweet Brier proposes the question, is marriage a failure I don't know l whether I can condense what l would say on this question enough for this column or not, but I will try. Marriage at the present time IS failure to a large extent. Fifty or seventy-five years ago marriage was success. Why this difference ? and who is responsible for it /? Let us see. In former times young women were brought up and educated to believe that marriage was their business. They had no other ambition. They did not indulge in fancy and sentimental notions about what kind of men they must have, but each entered the market and married such men as they could get. They were obliged to marry or live upon their parents, and of course they chose the former, and few reached the age of 20 unmarried. At the present time everything is changed, women are now independent ; they have entered all the work shops and the counting rooms and are found in all branches of business. And now in considering the question of marriage they say man must be able to furnish me with better living athan I can earn myself.
 How often we have heard young women make the remark, we'll, I don't propose to marry until can better my self. Now as matter of fact very few young men who have nothing to com mence with, can furnish woman with | better living than she can earn her self Hence the growing tendency to postpone marriage until late in life or | to dispense with it altogether. And ] from this sense also girls who so far l forget themselves as to marry men who are not rich soon find that they cannot wear as fine clothes nor have as much money to spend as when they are single, hence they become dissatisfied and their marriage becomes failure. We must hold then that the modern inde- l pendence of women is the cause of the decline in happy married life.
 l From the same department of the Connecticut Farmer we also clip the following article, written by anothe, correspondent.
 Is marriage a failure !? We'll, ] should say both yes and no. Wher there is the right idea to start with it is far from it, but when people marry
 thinking they will be in bliss all the
 rest of their lives, why, then it is {

STUBBORN FACTS.

Mayor Hart of Boston lately said /:
 "I have been often asked, Why should women vote The only reason and the only answer I have ever given to that is, Why shouldn't they vote ? I are as intelligent as we are. We ask them to bring up our children, and we praise them in every way we can for bringing them up in the right way, and why shouldn't they have the same right to come and vote as their boy has when he arrives at twenty -one years of age? I think they have"
 If we have any essential right to determine what portion of our property shall go to public uses, how can we deny similar right to women If we feel that we ought to have voice in the making of the laws we are to obey why think that we alone can feel so Or if the whole matter of political "rights' is not one of rights, but of privilege and duty, founded on capaci- ty, why recognize capacity in a man, and deny if in woman ?-Wm. M. Salter. ts5 s45 Rev l.. G. Jordan, the colored orator, 1 says: "You Northern men make big fuss because they won't let the Negro vote down South. Now, if I should say to you, Your wife isn't as intelligent as I am, why you would kick me out of the house and yet that is virtually what you say yourselves when you will not allow her to vote." That colored man speaks the truth. White mer place their own wives, sisters and daughters, politically, below the Negro

Pin Money.

Pin money is lady's allowance of money for her own personal expendi- ture. A witty English judge once said that ''women were either kissed out of it or kicked out of it." Long after the invention of pins in the Four teenth century, the maker was al lowed to sell them in open shop only on the 1st and 2d of January, It was then that the court ladies and city danes hocked to the depots to buy them, having first been provided with money by their husbands for the pur- pose. When pins became cheap and common, the ladies spent their allow ences on other fancies, but the term ''pin money" remained in vogue Detroit News. H
