In these days Of mcrccnary mar

anxious to make good match, not
from the point of view of sweetness of

with money, it is more than refreshing,
it is idyllic-to read the account Of

chivalrous feelings of the members of
the Mariahilf Matrimonial club raise
them so far above the majority of their
sex that it is difficult to believe in the
actual existence of the club, about
which, however, believe there is no
doubt, says a London letter from a
woman to the Philadelphia Telegraph
The members of the club arc all rich
men, and each has pledged himself to
marry poor girl. For the sake of
these noble beings, animated with such
unselfish desires, can only hope that
the secret of membership is dcvoutly
kept am very unwilling to disparage
my own sex, yet wc often hear of, and

her maternal instincts? While the

undetermined men. Their riches alone
would be a strong bait to the pcnniless
maids and their schcming mothers;
while if the fact of their vow was
known should imagine the candidate
would be very fierce. In case, how
ever, the members find the attentions
OF portionless girls and widows too
empowering, they have provided
themselves with loopholcs of escape;
for should the damscl of their choice be
blessed with an abundance of this

oaths on payment of four hundred
pounds sterling. A further feature of
the club is to provide deserving but i'm
