Early Marriage In China.

1t Is nothing rare in China for boys
twelve to fourteen years old to marry.
Tho physical, moral and intellectual de.
velopment of the contracting parties
has nothing to do with the matter. 9th.

affair. An old Chinese aphoriSm says
that the great business Of life is ended

of their sons until after their own
