Special Correspondence of the Standard.
White Sulphur Springs, May 1.-The
young men of White Sulphur Springs
have evidently been neglected, to a
large extent, at some important Pc
riod in their existence. Gallant, as
can be on all occasions, and always to
be seen mingling with the fair sex,
yet on the question of matrimony they
are reminders-very forcibly of the
Montana cayuse-'inclined to buck"
The question has been propounded
time and again, why is it more of
marriageable young men do not quit
their singlestate and join the ranks of
the Benedict?" and the Standard cor
respondent. realizing the Importance of
lending a helping hand to the mar
riageable," has sought out each and
every one of them and in a cold, blood
curdling tone, asked: why don't you
get married?" Some smiled with pleas
ure; others felt in their pockets; and
still others uttered not a word. The
answers received are given below. In
unity there is success" and so far as
is possible. let all give a moments
thought to this grave question. AS
soon as the Springs get cheap and
quick transportation the same question
will be asked our marriageable young
ladies-but not until then.
