Comparing life to passage OCT a restless food marriage is like a suspension bridge which spans the torrent; and over this structure the long train of humanity has ever walk ed with joyful or wealry feet. In other words, marriage is a 'Bitter- Sweet with the sweet predominant ing, if the proper conditions are Ob- served In childhood days, the young school girls were wont to form cir cle and go round repeating the we'll worn lines.
 1.-The happiest life that ever was
 led,
 Is always to court, and never to
 wed;"
 and judging from the actions of many children of a larger growth now, the same sentiment is quite extensively cheIished. There is many a pert young miss (and now and then a pert old one, also) who declares with a species of bitter disdain that
 s'The hour of marriage ends the
 female reign,
 And we give all we have to buy a
 chain;
 Hire men to be our lords, who
 were our slaves,
 And bribe our lovers to be par-
 jured knaves.''
 But these are among that 1arga and growing number of female butterflies who had rather continue to bask in a lovers smiles and attentions than as Sume the responsibilities and cares of a permanent married state. These stoutly aver that "she that takes the best of husbands puts on a golden letter; for husbands are like painted fruit which promise much, but still deceive us when we come to try thlp And, growing bolder with eItspoksn contempt, they sometimes l ecudly proclaim that
 'Wedlock's a saucy, sad, familiar
 state,
 Where folks are apt to sco.d and hate;
 While love kept at a distance, is
 divine,
 Obliging and says eve.yth ng
 that's fine"
 Johnson writes: Marriage is the strietest tie of perpetual friendsh ID, and there can be no friendship with out confidence, and no confidence without integrity; and he must expect to be wretchad who pays to beauty, riches, or politeness, that regard fN4loO oiid plCly Cc1u calGm."
