The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-02-21

An Insisting letter from one signing
himself deus has appeared in the New
York sun relation to a recent discuss
ion entertpd in that journal on the sub
ject of latlarriages. 1t would be worth
while to h. views of our people on this
subject; alto that end the letter men
toned is prld below in introduction:
we whoa the discussing are all of
mature age1d some experience. we
agree that terally the happiest mar
rages are ma between thirty and forty
years. Therare some men who are
young men forty-fve years. Past
that age marrie is a risk not only to the
bachelor but D ten times more to the
happiness of hioride. But the bachelor
who marries been forty and forty-five
stands ten cham of happiness where the
boy who MARI between twenty and
twenty-five stan one. The older man
knows what he nts, to begin with. In
the second place, E older man knows that
happiness is a dcate and easily killed
possession, and lis more careful of it
than the youngeran. His chief fault is
not a fault but misfortune. He has
not the enthusiast of the younger man,
and he, having ssed the time when
trilles please, forts that a woman in
that respect is yug much longer than
he.
I'VE all suggest, the bachelor of forty
that if he wishes keep his brides love
he should take Od's advice and make
her gifts. A WOan at heart is more
pleased with a bich of violets, a new
book, ring, or Dme trinket from the
man she loves thaiTith anything else. A
young man know this, because he is
young.
The bachelor oforty should under no
circumstances may a woman under
tnlfty, or let any eason except congeni-
ality induce him marry at all. The
woman who sees t world from his point
OF view naturally the woman who adj
m!res him, the woan who is assured and
mas resources with herself, so that she
does not want the instant cOmpanionShip
OF the very youni is the only wife who
can make his omfortable. A young
girl may be sWeeand pretty and loVable,
but he will find tat there are too many
things she does 1T know and which il is

Older woman he Rs wise comrade, with

The reason o so many unhappy mar
