What Is Marriage? Several People Try to Define It.

y. An editor ip a neighboring city has gathered the following four , definitions of “What is Marriage?”: “A Logansport preacher says: ‘Marriage is the' placing of. God’s seal on the golden clasp which binds love’s two vblumes of life in one.’ “A Burrow’s woman’s definition is thus given: ‘Marriage reminds one of flies on a window pane in summer. Those on the outside wish to get in, and those on the inside wish to get out’ “We will wager a brass button that the author es the above will jump at the first ‘offer.’ “A Camden woman, a married lady, of course, puts it thuß: ‘lt’s the way to get a housekeeper and general servant for her board and one calico dress a year.’ “A ‘male man’ of Flora, who no doubt ‘married in haste to repent at leisure,’ gives this: ‘The universal lottery of life; at once the desire and the dread of all. Bliss in anticipation; blister in realization.’ ”
