Get Married.

We really have faith in early mar
riages. Get married, young man, just as
soon as you find yourself capable Of
supporting wife modestly and fritz
gaIly. Never wait Until you become
rich; for, oh! the sad change that may
come over the freshness of your heart
before that time And then there are
the habits, opinions, associations, all of
which, becoming fixed portion of your
nature, may make you a wiser man,
perhaps, but will diminish just so much
the unspeakablc beatitude of welded
love to young spirit. No; never wait
till you get rich; for there is a some
thing earthly in the pursuit of wealth;
something so full of schemes and arti-
fees of the day, that the romance Of
love is crushed out, and the sentiment
is gone, past all recovery Marriage is
still the same; but, alas! you have
changed the time and custom; and you
do not find in it that chivalric disinter-
iestedness, that absorbing sense OF un-
alleged happiness, which belongs only
to the union OF two young hearts, u1.-
soibed BY contact with the world. Yes;
get married, young woman; never pause
because he is not handsome or rich He
may be good, and THAT is much tettes.
Few handsome mem zre good for mnch,
except to break wives hearts with jeal-
ousy, and fail in business, because too
