TILI7E AND FALSE MARRIAGE.
A LETTEU FROM AN OLD MAN TO A Tor sa
3lr Fiumg-
Can I err in my conviction that I
heard you, while conversing with it
circle of your intimates last evening,
speak lightly , of Marriage ? Unless
my ears deceived me, you dee4ared ,
in effect, that you should never mar
ry unless your hand should be Fought
by one who completely answered to
your conception of what a husband
shotild be—one handsome inpeison,
amiable in temper, generous in dis
position, eminent in ,- ability but few
years older than yourself, and either
in possession of fortune, or capable
of speedily acquiring one. lam sure
the drift of yonr little speech, to.Aliat
applauding circle, was not materially
different from this.
excepted.cm-
Now I do not care to, question the
desirability, in a husband, of the
characteristics you thus indicated. I
deem it well that he should be come-
J 7 in feintnre t - graceftll in , bearing,ivin
ning; in disposition, and that he
should not hare seen many more
years than those of the lady of his
choice. I will readily agree that you
ought to be able to regard him as .
your superior in wisdom, and I will
not stubbornly contend that a like
advents/pin fortune should prejmUce
you against him, - though that point
requires .careful . consideration. lam
sure that the happiest marriages 'I
have known have been those of per
sons, who, thoroughly knowing and
loving each other, have said, while
still in the early prime of life: "True,
we have little worldly wealth; bat we
will henceforth combine our counsels,
our energies, our efforts, hoping to
sliaie - and enjoy the competence we
shall win,as wo have, uncomplaining
ly, shared'the struggles and , priva
tions through which we achieved it."
I - would advise none to marry in utter
destitution; but the couple who,after
working and saving, Through two to
five years, in severality, have corn
bined their scanty, but well-earned
means, and resolved to hew out,. to,
gether, a home, from the wilderness
or proirie,,and hAve trimceforth illus•
trated the virtues' of industry and
frugality in indissoluble partnership,
have seemed to me among the wisest
'and happiest. If you-doubt this,ask,
successively, the next ball-dozen of
the noblest grand-mothers you may
meet, to tell you the story- of tit- •
first ten years of married itfe,tuid see
if those who started, not in want and
suffering, but with a slender outfit,
and nothing more but what they
made, or grew, or earned do not look
back-on those years' of early trial
with fullest and heartiest, satisfaction.
Let . those Who have wealth thank
God for it; let them thank Him still ,
more fervently g. He has added the
foiecait and - practical wisdom need
ed to render it.. ay blessing; but let
those who _ were bore poor, and
know how to work and save, be still
more grateful, that they shall be able
to say to their children. "Whatever
. we'give or leave, you is the fruit of . l
our diligence and thrift; we inherit
ed nothing, and owe nothing to the
accidents pf fortune." I wouldhave
you realize that a decent competence,
thus achieved, is far; preferable, as a
source of happiness, 'to a large estate
acquired Without effort, or merit: for
what we have really; "earned we are
most unlikely to risk in speculation,
or squander in foolish ostentation.
Saving is far more &Senn, than.earn-,

decently. So that he be handsome,
graceful,. amiable, rich,. and not too
old you might accept one whose high
est aspirations contemplated person
al enjoyment and social respectability.
I dunes mean to be uncharitable,yet
I deem this a fair deduction from
your careless, big not, :insincere dec.
iteration,
Can you wonder that the world is
full of mis-mated people, of discord
ant households, of several pairs, if
husbands end wives are accepted
with no more scrutiny of their essen
tial characters than tioughthey were
invitedto , a ball, rather than to -the
most intimate companionship for life?
Thousands are unhappily married.
Legislatures and courts seek to re
duos the number of sufferers by prof
fering facilities of divorce. •
In my, deliberate judgment, based
on the -obscvations and reflections
of many years, if all who choose were
at liberty to repudiate their old, and
select new partners in marriage every
Christmas there would not only be
more unworthy marriages, hut far
more suffering from unhappy unions
than there now is.
I 119 not need to smite that those
who come together intending to seri
arate-7-no matter whether next year,
next month or - to-morrow—are never
really; though they' easy be legally,'
married. What seems to me vital is,
that the Millions whose incitement to
marry is purely physical or material,
who marry for wealth or position, or
i
under the mpulse - of any basely self-,
ish or sensual desire—shall be awed;
if not repelled, by the consideration
that the tie thus formed is essentially
irrevocable, save by death—that,hav
ing once'chosen, they can never re
pudiate this in favor of a second
choice.
"But this does not prevent unfit,
or, unjustified marriages:"
• Certainly not, any more than the
state prison prevents counterfeiting,
or robbery. When society and legis
lature have done their utmost, vice
and, crime will remelts "It IS need
ful that offenses must come;" it is at
all events, inevitable that they will
come. We can at best, but diminish
their number, by rendering them,ev
idently, sources of more pain. thin
pleasure -to the average, offender:
And when the State says (as she does,
to those who ask to be legally joined
marriage: "Understand, and re
• the fact that, having been so .
'ined, you must be 'constant and
faithful till parted by death,"—she
has done her_utinost to previa& the
profaning and defiling of the holy
and beautiful institution of Marriage.
Am I lecturing to . you? Yes, cer
tainly. Ido not • imp ly that you
would, consciously, be joined in un
holy matrimony; Ido say - that you
might be so joined unconsciously, if
your words of yesterday are , the ex
pression,of your deliberate purpose
—if they fairly reflect the light in
which you regard Marriage. Let me
trust that they .do not.-that. • you
spoke without thonght--:and„ with
out intentional insincerity, said what
your deliberate judgment will repudi
ate-and condemn.
Dear friend;do not 'accustom your
self to speak lightly of Marriage. If
obliged to say anything, you may
properly 'say that you - cannot tell
whether you will ever bestow your
hand until one, ulom you shall have
learned to love, shall seek it; but I
never would have you intimate an in
difference, much more a repugnance,
to Marriage. There have been, and
will be. many unhappy (because un
worthy) marriages; but that there
was ever a 'single life prolonged to
fifty or sixty years which.,was a truly
happy one,l do not - believe. However
self-sufEcient - in youth, I judge that
no one ever felt the coming-on of old
age, and saw streak after streak of
silver mirrored in the glass which,re
fleets his thin, straggling locks, with
out 'sadly realizing that "It is not
good for man to be alone "—nor for
woman, either.
That you may, in due season,lbe
sought in marriage by one who nobly
loves you, and whom you shall legn
to nobly.love—whom you may im
plicitly trust in all th ings, and who
shall know you , worthy of like confi
dence—whom you , shall Joys while
you live, 'With a love that death can;-
not weaken,l is the greatest earthly
blessedness I can wish you; and that

that the regxtusibihty of finding the guilt of

The prisoner at the bar was indicted by the
grand jury of the county of Bradford, fur the
alive of murder in kallang Wesley Eugene Bin

it having taken place in the house of the pets

day mentioned demised came to the house or
the defendant, and remained there during the
remaining portion of the day. At four o'clock

smoking ;while there, a quarrel arose between
them, about deoeseed• having related outside

his ancestors lived .to a good old age,

been to: the ,left of Mr. Shades; if

he daine the more his body Must
hai'e been ferw.ard . if Mr. 'Ward hold
the pistol in his rightdiand and.
Shader - also -held -the pistol, and
there was a struggle f6r. -the pistol,
such a wound - might have - resulted;
there was a carpet on 'the floor; a • -
'woollen carpet; anthin part of the
contents of - the stomach would be ab
sorbed by the - earpet; witness gaVe
1 moraine to deceased to quiet .
and make,him rest; it had the desir
ed effect; as Mr. Ward left the 'room'
her made the - request that Shader
should make a dying statement; ,wit
ness identified the hook , that Mr.
Porter. had ;.,a page in, the book'
- shown, was'-recognized by, witness as,
one he had seen -before), Porter
showed witness that page that night; .
Witness requested 31r.. Ward to go
out of the room because he was .very
much excited; Mr. Shader was..-just •
rallying,.and he thought it would be
better for them both if Mr. Ward
went; there-was nothing in the body
till you - get, to the eighth rib that '
would change the coins& of the ball
as taken; on Sunday afternoon- Mr.
Shader's mind was clear;'-end also in
the evening;. talked some in his sleep;
untit3fonday night his mind Was
