Having a Friend.

To have a friend is to have duty
that cannot be evaded without moral
cowardice. / must justify my friends
faith in me; and give him warrant
for his affection. l must not do any
thing that detracts from what l seem
to him to be-to deface my own i'm
age in his eyes!
1t is a solemn thing to find that
when we are to ourselves most feeble
and Intellectual there are others who
regard us as towers of strength and
pillars of virtue-and if we gave up
trying it would take the heart out of
them and they would haul down the
flag.
Therefore. it is cur duty to do
nothing and be nothing that takes
from us the strength and the help we
are bound to give to those who lean
upon our friendship.

The Matrimonial AGE.

Men do not marry now so early IN
life as onee they did. We do not
often hear of a young fellow of twenty
one taking on the heavy, if delightful
responsibility of matrimony. The ideal
bride and bridegroom of thirty years
ago were seventeen and twenty-one,
respectively When girl marries
now at so early an age the world con-
dennis her mother for permitting it.
4 spinster bride of forty is perhaps
a trif1e too mature. But she is be-
coming more and more frequent, es-
pecially in high society. And for some
reason the look Of youthful freshness
can be retained in a perfectly mar
velous manner by the woman of today.
