Formidable List of Obstacles.

To me Editor.
Marriage IL held by Christian people to be
divine institution. but II uniting where
there is no reciprocal affection, for few
rods Of earth with house on 1t, is marriage.
then celestial jurisprudence ia erroneous.
The obstacles to this most important con-
tract are numerous-scaroity Of funds and
a hopeless prospect OF future betterment;
want of courage and q dread Of consequent
responsibilities: disgust at feminine Riddi-
ness and extravaganza in attire; lack OF
economy in the fair sex and much neg-
lected knowledge of the requirements
which irradiate q home; unconpenial ac:
Quaintances, and injudicious objections and
interventions of parents.
To encourage and ameliorate the marriage
tie, let common RenFe ami morality domi-
nate our actions, and let the importance OF
confidence and sincerity find habitation in
every heart as essentials in promoting the
noblest OF unions.
Many a young man has an object in life TO

In the reign OF Augustus Cesar. celibacy
became SO great an evil that law WAS en-
acted putting heavy penalty on those Ro-
mans who would not marry, which law was
administered very strictly. In order to
evade it men would marry children. that
they might say they we're married.
The reasons why men did not marry in
those days were. think, similar to those
which now exist Women then, as now,
painted their faces. dyed their hair. pen-
cilled their eyebrows. &e., which thugs
Disguised men az they do now. Girls think
these things make them attractive in the

marrying one OF these painted beauties.
Let the girls dress modestly and be more
reseryed in their department.; then there
will be less reason to inquire why young
men do not marry. DOMESTIC

Doubt of their ability to conquer and

OF all-rich and poor alike.
Distrust of the woman who. IL asked to

Wives Fear Mothers-in.Law.

To the Editor:
Many young men Of to-day are unmarried
because they can't find the girl who has grit
enough to marry them. Instead Of being
sensible self-made men they must belong to
clubs and societies.
Divorce cases would be fewer II the men
would treat their wives after marriage as
before. and not neglect them.
As for men living with their mothers-in-
law. think you will find more cases where
the women have to live with their mothers
in-law-and don't find them perfect either.

they are thrust into corners because they
are homely or because they are quiet and
accordingly lett alone. The man who in
looking for an ideal wife should seek out
these women and as acqaintance ripens
many noble things in her nature will come
70 light that were not suspected In her
before. He will learn to love her for her
worth and she will love him.
Fate seems to insist that these two shall
meet but seldom and therefore, while the
heartless fiirt is looking for . good man.
this good man will not have her. He Is seek

Men and women do not live single because
they are less pure or good than in bygone

consequently they are more thoughtful in

to bring upon themselves responsibilities
they cannot sustain.
It seems to me every thoughtful person
must consider it q serious matter to bring
into this world children that may become
nero slaves for the rich. Let the business
and commerce in this great country be
carried on without the curse OF money. Let
every man and woman share alike in the toll
