"Now the third here, a little way from the bottom, John.” “Yes,Sir.” This being accomplish- ed, both paused to view the work, when the Doctor exclaimed, with ex-‘ ultation. “ Now, John I think We 1 have done the business cleverly”; The foliow is an anecdote If an eccentric, though worthy and excel- lent divine (the Rev.

Wedded life, without regard to all (He great essentials. A thousand timus [ During the year the youngest male who was married was a youth of 16 ‘to aybride of 17. Seven grooms of ithe age of 17 years were united to } brides severally, one of 14, 16, 17 and i 19 each, and three of2l. The young- lest was a girl of 13 years to a man of 21. One male of 16 years of age, seven of 17, fifty-three of18, one hun- dred and forty-seven of 19, and ninety of 26 were married for the fiirst time; and ten females of 14, forty-three of 15, and seventy-three of16 were mar- ried also for the first time. Of the 12,326 marriages during the year, 9,- 640 were first marriages of both par- ties. The oldest couple were a wid< ower of 82 to a maiden of 77, and the youngest couple was a youth of 17 and a bride 0t 14. Marriage is according to the old adage, a lottery, but let us hope that in the aggregate the prizes are found to be far more numerous than the blanks. We can imagine nothing more unfortunate than an ill assorted marriage. There should as well be sympathy and harmony of feeling, as adaptation by age. The difl‘erence of a year or two on either sides is not important; buta great disparity in this respect is at once unreasonable and unnatural, and is rarely attended with happy results. In this country, the great error with many is marrying in haste. Thousands of lives have been made wretched by this terrible mistake. Another error that prevails among tnothers as well daughters, Consists in the belief that marriage is indepensible, and which thus induct t Il‘ Subscribers order the discontinuance of their papers, the publisher may continue to send them till all arrearages are paid. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take heir papers from the office to which they are lirected,they are responsible till they have \etlled their Bills, and ordered their papers to »e discontinued. We have already alluded to the an- nual report ofthe registrar of the State of Massachusetts. One of the chap- ters is devoted to the subject of mar. riage, and it is full of curious details- During the last twelve years, the greatest number ofmarriages occurred in the month of November. The most popular months for marriage were November, October, May. Jan- uary. September and April. Accord- ing to preceding reports the most usual time for contracting a marriage has been between the ages of 20 and 25 for both sexes. The next greatest number of first marriages have occur- red in the period of from 25 to 30 nmongmales, and from 20 to 25 among females; and the third greatest num- ber in the period between the ages of '20 and 25 among males, and including females under 20. If subscribers remove to other places, without informing the publisher, and the pa- ml‘ is sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. Among the males married for the first time, one under 30 was joined to a maiden over 55. Another maiden over 55 was married to a bachelor between 20 and 55 years of ago. One female, also a maiden, and between 70 and 75 years of age, married a widower over 80. Five females and thirty seven males had arrived at more than 75 years of age before their last marriage ; and two of the women were over 75 years of age. ‘UBSCRIBERS who do not give expre‘s i Notice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to continue their subscription.
