EARLY MARRIAGES

Marry tarty lull nence of Lot nd a Young Wife Prolonged Betrothals. (Written Specially lor the ScntiacL) Long engagements and early marring ?8 are questions often discuesed bat never Fettled. It is natural that parents should be anxiously watchful lest their eons or daughters should be entrapped into an engagtfnent or marriage before their school days are ended, and business prospects net' lea cn a cure basis. Entrappad'a not a f-kasr-iit word, but the guardians ot ths yourg should be yigilant that thedancrair &ruplie9 may never befall those undo iheir supervision. Yet one must be Ar uxs-f jed, indeed, who can under all circmstarcei tfTectually I'oar the entrer.ee t)f love on one side, aaJ caprice, capidity or puile on the o'ter. Women are mar FRtily deluded by pleasant attentions, ten der words, and soff, persuasive llitterie then men, and in prudential matters fa lets suspicious. It is here that parents ar the rrcst troubled, and this is.whera lark the greatest danger. Eat this is only one view of the question. V a are no advocate of very long engagements, or unreasonably early marripes, but when true love finds an entrance with the young there is less danger of its beleg spurious than in later years. Although most parents object to this, they have far stronger grounds to hope J for happiness for their children than after the excitement of business and the love of money has tecurtd a streng hold on the yourg man, and a lew seesons in the height of fashionable society have given the damsel eg me lessons in the game of cc quetry, and a faste for dress and gayety which the soon believes will be best secured by a marriage for that which riches will yield her ratter than the simpler, purer jo5s thüt true love insures. We believe that the Dippie9t marriages are those whose love was early pledged, nd that cloEe observation will prove that euch ere the most likely to stand the test of tiL e, and will pass through the many Tcuh acd hazardous paths of married life nhthemcst cteerful fortitude. When marnag9 is delayed till habi's have become tco f rmly established to give way kindly to another's wish a. or to gently overlook another's peculiarities, the prospects of a pleeant, harmonious life are not the moU tLccursgicg. An early union givaa fairer promise that the wedded pair may go down to a peaceful, bspDy old tge, not only without losing the love that first united them, but with a n.ra hope that it will gnw Iriyhfer und br'ater, until that perfect day, when both, nsviag passed over the river, wiil stand wi'h clearer vidian and rr.riiil a&eciion before the throne of their IViker. When yourg peop!e have finished the caseation vrhicQ was intended to fit them to he gin their life's work, if they are so icrtuuate as to love and be beJoved at that ytnod, tün there can be no doubt but that an early marriage is best for both parti. Tb re la no period in a young man's lifa when he so much needj the counsel, sym Tat by, and inspiration born of pare love. 18 wfcen, in his fresh; uncontaminaisd yourg manhood he begins the battle of life a battle tht all moat tirfht ia their hrst e. torts to secare the fair yrcspect of a future iodeandent support, lie who enters the arena of life for cantest with seen and unseen obstacles,atrengtheacd and shielded by the love which gladly unites with him to lay the foundations of i a true home is the safest, and by far more certain cf success. 1 Knowing that his wifs presMcs in his simple dwelling, and while she seeks to aid fcitn by atlectionate care and judicious economy, his labors must provide the meats fur their support, how can this triocgl t fail to cive impetus to every exertion? All toil h eweet, all self-denial a 11 pie aiure, because it is for her, or, rather, for both mcde one. Whatever the avocation or height of intellectual culture, the enprec elcve shielding the new home is the same. The woodman's axe swings lighter, the ring of the hammer on the anvil has more music than fatigue in it, the farmer whistles more blithely over the work of seed-time and harvest, the sharpest toil of the mechanic is full of joy when he knows that his fair young partner, while watching his return, is providing daintily for his comfort, and is ready to give him a loving welcome. Fairer visions are caoght and transferred to the artist's canvas because colored with the thoughts of the one who presides over bis home. The dullest subjects are c.'ad with vigor and freshness in the autker's mind because he cares more to please the gentle critic at hom than the public. The innate of the yonn wife, whose thoughts will follow him with faith and confidence in his success, enables the lawyer to think more clearly and ?led his cause .with more tffective energy, he physician, as he goes among his patients, knows there is one now all h's own who will pray that his efforts may be rightly directed, and this knowledge so fills his heart and enriches it that bis very presence by the sick-bed has healing iu The young pastor will work with more zeal and tenderr ess bee 1 use of the loving encouragement that will cheer him when he returns home. Is any ore inclined to call this sentimental romancing? We pity those who. having passed through the experiences of youth and middle age, or beyond the four score years, are sot leidy to accept this as sober truth. In every position in lite n earlv marriage that enables two faithful hearts to become the united architects of a honte is a bleating that seems not to be fully understood. It builJa up a more perfect manhood and womanhood than can be secured in any other way. baca is a shield to the other against the snares and tertptatiocs teat lie In wa:t for the unwary, and those who wals alone. A hap py early marrlge is the strongest Insur ar.ee of pme life. The ad7lco to W9it nntil one has time nd onportnnity to know something; of life 10 as to judge wltn prudence, putting an romantic notions out of the mind, too oft'n proves a fearful temptation to evil and wrong doinjj. Any one, man or worcao, who ventures to assume the marr!ge relations chiefly from prudential reasons, instead of through the rich romance of the heart, if such they choose to , term it, has limply made a basinet-, bargain les-ead of accepting what God deafened it to be the richest and most blessed gift to mankind. if betrothal or marriage is deferred, the yourg are easily caught In the fatal nets of society life, and submit to be governed chiefly fcyjsnch regulations and das as are snctioned by custom. 8oon they find that the thought cf "position" is tempting them to put off all idea ot marriage until a chance ehail offer, whlca a young man can lecureonly.by allowing his hea4 to govern hia heart. Then ambition, not Jove, becomes his master. The young frrl who loved early bat Is tempted to wait until she has enjoyed a fewteatcniin fashionable life before the
consents to consummate her betrothal, is in danger of throwing away her fairest op portunity to secure true, solid happiness jnst for a shadow "that shines to bewilder and dazzles to blind." 6ne begins to think: that it is but prudent for her to wait until her lover shall secure the means to enable them to begin their life In as elegant and genteel a style rs her tastes under fashionable training imperiously demand, or, at least, as high a financial position as her parents, after long years of toil, have at tained just aa their daughter arrives at an age to be grafted into another stock, forgetting that "a graft should always be willing to be a graft, patiently waiting until by legitimate growth it has made its own top," and has become strong enough by this patient waiting to vie with the parent tree. TLe young girl who. after engage -nerir,
says, ' I will not marry until my lover can provide for me as abuncuntiy at me Deginning of our married life ai my father was able to at the close of his,' is sowing sor row "for her reaping by and by." Hat blessings will follow her who willingly goes forth to help build up another horns. knowing tnat sne may encounter many difficulties, perhaps some hardships, and may find cause for much self-denial. While Ehe carries into her new lite an me. delicacy and refinement of thought and action which was fostered in the luxury and abundance of her father's house, she is ready to accept her nusband s lets prosperous, it may be straitened, cir cumstances, and thus both together cheer fully endeavor to build up a fair and honorable position by beginning at the foundation, it is tne greatest lolly to pro tract an engagement after the lover has finish d education and entered on his business or profession, until he shall have accumultted sufficient wealth to keep his bird in a golden cage. Begin your life's work together. That is the true way, and all the sweeter and happier if you beein small. The less style there is the less of real wealtn there is, the more time and the more need there will be to become fully acquainted with each other's complete character, and a better opportunity to learn how to bear and forbear, to aid each to tone down or modify such peculiarities as are in danger of disturbing mutual confidence and amiability. It is no blot or disparagement that there are some peculiarities they are fcund in all characteis. It is quite ri?ht that it should be so. and if the same tenderness end courtesy which was so easily exercised in the days of courtship, is, by mutual consent or practice, carried into married life, the early wedded besoms more cloeely assimilated, and find in their union an ever-increasing happiness which marriages of more advanced ages seldom realize after their habits become fixed and more unyielding. Put seme young people say, "Those who know us now in our father's house (if that early home chances to be one of luxury) would not 6toop to recognize us if they found us In circumstances beneath those we now are known in. Besides, if we begin in a small way, with limited means, we will be subjected to some coarse, hard work, and thus Mose caste' among friends." Such friend1? are not worth regretting. Havirg outgrown babyhood and childhood note can expect to bo always cradled in their parents' arms. Those who are cf any real worth will cheerfully accept the life as they find it. ' Its rough ascents or tiowery slopes," If trol tjethsr and n love, will icFure genuine happiness. We often think one stores up qiite as much real pleasure passing throusti the roah plaes as when walking among the flower?. We know that the retrospection is an unfailing source of blessed eLioyment. Work together, plsn toother, select and furnish the house cr roont9 together. B3 one in all home arrangements. The less talk cf "mine and thine" the better. We are satif ü(d that "my rithts" bhou'.d be erssed from the dictionary which goverrs husband and wife, and "our rishts'' substituted, "tut, notwithstandins short erjgaiementa and early marriage certainly appear to be the most certain road to abiding hapDinese, there are some cass which necessitate a long engagement. Bat it Is fal of dangers and uncertainty. Yet if each continue faithful, and swerve I until the circumstances which compelled 1 delay have passed or been overcome, then . . A I i. 1 S.Tul- 1. a lorg engagement almost invariably ends in e very happy marriage. A love that has not bf en shaken by the long delay, ar,d usually involving lo-ng absences, is net built on sand, but on a rock, over which Hoods may sweep and the wind threaten in vain. If younsr people were trained to look upon an engagement as a solemn contract as binding in God's sight as marrisge, there would be very little career. If in early youth, before education is completed, and some profession cr em ployment is secured, two meet and are drawn together, becoming devotedly at tached, then the engagement, even if of necessity it must be long, is the wisest course. Any sacrifice is better than to relincuish the first love. We firmly be lieve in first love, given when the heart is youne and tender, unstained by too close contact with the world audits bewitch ing, beeuiling attractions. Such love, hon estly given, and as truly returneJ, is next to a mother's love the safeguard of young men and maidens. This once secured, the world may spread out all her devices ever so skilfully and she will not break the bond. So, because the first young love is so sweet, eo 6trong, and, when faithfully nur tured, so enduring, we say, "Let it notgv even if it can be held only by a long en gagement. Mas. Hekry Wakd Beecher.

VAsmscT05, December 15 Among the papers laid before the Senate was a communication from Italian residents of Washington proposing to present to the United States a marble bust of Garibaldi as "a link in the chain of a sympathy which all freemen feel for the champions of liberty and republican government.-' Inferred to Committee on Library. Bills were introduced and referred as follows I By Senator Call To prohibit United States Judges and Courts from authorizing the borrowing of money by receiver of railroad and other corporations beyond th) amount of their annual income; also to prohibit the appointment of such receivers without evidence of the financing condition of the company. He nnvd their reference to the Committee on Interstate Commerce. Senator Edmunds moyed their refereace to the Judiciary Committee. Senator Call opposed that reference, on the ground that like bills had been before the committee last Congress and had received no attention. Iiis opinion was that no relief would be afforded to the people by the Jndiciary Committee in the consideration of bills of such a character. Senator Edmunds confessed that tbe Judiciary Committee wes not very much inclined to interfere with the exercise of discretion by the courts. He withdrew his amendment. The bills were thereupon refeired to the Committee on Interstate Commerce. Other bills were Introduced and referred as follows: By Senator George To protect employes and servants engaged in interstate commerce, and in the Territories and District of Columbia. By Senator Hoar To extend the general and mmirg laws over the Territory of Alaska. Also to facilitate the settlement and develop the resources of Alaska and to open an overland commercial route between the United States, Aciatic Russia acd Jcpan. By fc'enator riumb To forfeit lands granted to the State of Michigan for a railroad from Marquette to Octonaean. By Strator Coke To limit the jurisdiction of tbe United States Circuit and district courts. Tbe nsolntion offered some days ago by Serator Tlcmb w&s taken up directing the Attorney General to investigate tha issce of a patent to iltenns Swenson, last Octoter, in connection with the manufacture cf fcugar from sorghum audif invalid, to commence euit to hsve the patent canceled, (the point bc'rig that Mr. Swenson Kasan employe of xhe Agricultuwl Derartrnent while matirg the eiperimsnts out of which the patent resulted). Senator I'lumb toped that the resolution would be adopted, as the question invovled was a very important cne. Tbe resolution, ha scitf, did not imply censure on the Comrx.iEsicEer of Agriculture, who had been very zea'ons and active in all; matters relating to the development of the snrebum sugar industry. benator Edmunds Brjpcestea that there Edmunds were two ditUcultiea In the way ot the resolution. One was that this was the first time, or cne of tbe first times, that the Senate had called upon the head of a department to do anything affirmatively in in regard to any part of tbe public busi ness. In some cases the secretary of the Interior had been requested to suspend EC me action pending action on tbe subject by Congress. Ques tions of law were cammitted to Jthe Attorney-General, while acting under tbe direction of the President. An other formidable diüicnlty was (not in his own mind, but in the minds ot some judges), whether the Attorney-General had a right to brirg a Euit to invalidate a pat ent unless by authority of Congress. He thought that the resolution should be referred to the Committee on Patents, and he made that motion. After further discussion by Messrs. Plumb, Saultbury, Riddleherger, Call, Hoar, Gray, Butler, Teller, George, Hawley, Beck and Sherman, the motion to refer was rejected and the resolution adopted. It reads: "BeEolved, That the Attorney-General be requested to investigate the issuance cf letters patent to Megnus Bwenson, of date October 10, 18S7, and if in his iudgment the same Is invalid on any ground, or was procured by reason of information obtained from experiments made by the Government, and, if in his judgment, a suit can be maintained in the name of the United Staten, to commence such salt promptly to have the same cancelled or the use of the same by said bwenson, or an y cne claiming under him, perpetually eriotnea. Senator Butler offered a resolution. which wes adopted, directing the Judiciary Committee to enquire and report whether. in the present state ol the law, tbe Govern ment has tbe rower, or the Attorneyuenerai 01 tne united states tne authority to institute judicial proceedings to vacate a patent for an invention on any ground wbateyer. The Senate then took up the bill introduced by Mr. Stewart lest Monday, to provide for the issue of ccin certiücates to circulate a money, and was addressed by that Senator In explanation and support ot the bill. The purpose of the bill is to allow the deposit at ny mint cr assay omce of gold and silver bullion in quantities not Ices than five ounces of gold, or eighty ounces of silver, and the receipt therefor of com certificates, which are to be a legal tender; to have the existirg gold and silver certificates can celled when received at the Treasury: to have no gold coined hereafter, except as necessary to reoeem obligations expressly payable in coin; to have tne bullion re ceived ntder this act melted into bars and deposited in the Treasury; and to repeal the act of tbs 23th of February. 1878. re quiring the coinage of 2,000,000 Bllver dol lars monthly. Referring to the demonetization of silver by Congress In 1873, Mr. Stewart said that that act was done so secretly that even tbe rresicentoi the united states was ignor ant of it two years afterwards, when he sent a special message to Congress recom mending the opening of new mints to coin silver dollars, bo as to be able to carry out the law to resume specie payments, and of course, when the President was ignorant of It, the Secretary cf the Treasnry, who mmt have sent the special message, must also have been ignorant of it, and Congress J4.T lAV.MVn 9 it 11 .11... k. ..M were msde valueless, beine no longer used as money its production would cease; and the failure to work silver mines would result in dimisiebirg by one-third the product of gold whicn now comes from silver ore. But the silver mining industry, prosecuted with Intelligence and vigor, would furnish the world with gold and silver, keeping ptce with the increase of population. It
would be criminal to destroy one of those xnetaia for the purpose of Denefiting any Js7ored class. At the close of Senator Stewart's remarks the bill was referred to the Committee on Finance. The Senate, on motion of Senator Spoon cr, then proceeded to- execute business, and soon after adjourned till Monday.
CHINA'S SORROW. Tbe Yellow Kiver Overflows, Causing Unparalleled Destruction of Lire. Saw FRAscisco.December 15. The steamship City of Sydney arrived this afternoon from Hong Kong and Yokohama. Cbinesi papers give details of a disaster occasioned by the Yellow river overflowing its banks in the province of Honn, and describe it as one of tbe most appalling occurrences In loss of life and property recorded in recent times. The river broke Its banks 01 the evenirg of September 23, south wes1. of the city of Cbing Chow, and not only completely inundated that city, but also ten other populous cities. The whole area is now a raging tea, ten to thirty feet deep, where it was once a densely populated and rich plain. The former bed of tbe Yellow Kivf r is now dry, and the present lake was the bed of the river centuries ago. The loss of life is incalculable, and the statement is made by missionaries that millions of Chinese are homeless and starving. Thomas Paton, one of the American msesionaries, writing from Hann Province under date of October 23, says: "The newly gathered crops, houses add trees are ail swept away, involving a fearful loss of life. The country was covered with a fine winter braid, which is gone and implies complete destruction to nextysar's crop. 'Bread, bread,' is the cry of thousands, who are on the river bank. Benevolent people go In boats aEd thro t bread amorg the masses here end there, but it is nothing compared with the requirements The mass of people is still being increased by continual arrivals, even more hungry than the last. There tbey sit. stuanud. hnr pry and dejected, without a rag to wear or a morsel of food. Mat huts are being erected for them. Whit it will be in two months I csnnot conceive. The misery is increRsed owing to the bitter cold weather." Xellcw Kiver has long been known as China's scrrow, and the present disaster baß served to reassert its right to the terrible title. As yet, details of tbe disaster are very meager. It has occurred iu a district where but few foreigner are, and the report furnished by the officials and published in the Fekln Gazette convey a very iradequate account of the extent 0! the lcrs cf life and property and the Bufferings of the survivors. The Governor in Heran reports to the throne th?.t: "Nearly all the people have been drowned in the district reached by the water, tbe survivors being those whu escaped to the high ground or took refuge ia tree3, where trey remained until they were rescued." This gives .but little "impression as to what the exten of the disaster really is The Chinese Times says ia the province of Chihili, where disastrous inundations have also occured, there are 270 000 people homeless, representing an equl number whose lives were destroyed, and adddthat the misery in that province is trifling as ccmparfd with that caused by Haango-Ho, or the Yellow river. The extent of eronnd swept over by the flood, givsn In English figures is over 7.000 square miles, and lard tins submerged formed a part of one of the richest and most densely populated plains of Northern China. The necessity for liberal aid may ihereT'ore be imsgined. Already considerable sums have been contributed towards relieving FclTerers. The Etrperor of Cbtna hes given two millions cf teels, and the e'bir.es l ave started subscription lis's in Sfcangbui, to which foreigners have liberaliy contributed. Millions have been ren dered homeless and entirely deprived of all chance of earning a livelihood, f jt thir fields will either becoxe permanent lakes or nr inhabitable swamps. It is fearad that the distress which will be felt during the ccmitg winter will tqaal in intensity the famine of ten years ago, when cbaritable donations, contributed to from all parts of the world, were utterly inadequate. It is Mated that oing to the action taken by the Yellow river, it no longer rljws toward tfce sea, but seems content in converting Ee stern Hönau into a lake. HEW YORK'S WIFE MARKETS. The Fonr Great Matrimonial Marts of ttie Metropolis. From the Philadelphia Press. The fon great markets for wives In New York are the Sunday school, the big stores and factories, the street, and the boarding houses. 1 have purposely arranged them in the Older above because the greatest matrimonial markets are the Sunday schools and the least are tbe boarding houses. Marriages are made in boarding houses, but the average boarding house keeper's daughter is more apt to end an old maid than a wile, ine reason ia mat n teems not to be good for the girls for men to see them too much or In too varied a rBnge of employment. It takes the romance and poetry oat of the wife hunter's bead and the charm from a eirl's person ality for her to be seen on her keens scrub bing, or her head to a towel Bweepiog, or aiftinz ashes in a slovenly wrapper. UI course, there are girls who can ao every sort of housework with such cn air and grace that even a level-headed lover will trv to steal the broom or ashes sifter she has held in order to nave it ior a xeepsaKe, but those cirla are not apt to be developed in the dull and truel grind of boarding house routine.; In the Sunday schools the girls look their very best. Not only do thousands of tender hearted young fellows attend them m order to develop a circle of lady mends for themselves, but just so do the myriad voung women, who are either nere witnout . .

Meetings between thu girls and their beaux on the way home from work are not to be taken into consideration, for the lss es co borne in troops, and are merciless teasers, so that this is also a rare occurrence. One of the big shopping stores, by the way, unrdova detectives to see that no young fellows hang about the store at closing time to meet the counter gins, uat there is a field for matrimony that is directly in the stores and is exceedingly fruitful. The male employees, buyers, heads of depart ments, men clerks, cashiers, and even the members of the firms get very many wives fioni among the girls whom tbey meet ev try day and grow to admire, if their qualities are such es recommend them. Acquaintances thus made lead to visits at the girls tomes, to evening compamoaaaip, and to wedlock.

Chester Uellows Swung into the Presence of Iiis Maker While Falsifying. Chaeles Citt, Iowa, December 16. Chester Bellows wss hanged at 10:46 o'clock this forenoon. He had to be supported to the gal'ows, and as the rope was placed around his neck, he exclaimed three time : "Please don't I" As the Sheriff placed the White-cap over his head, he exclaimed again: "Please dont! I am innocent." The trap was sprung at 10:46, and in eight minutes and forty-three seconds his heart ceased to beat. His neck was broken. Since Beliows was brought back to this city yesterday morning he was constantly watched in his celt by 6talwart euards. Early yesterday morning Rev. Father Gunn, a Catholic priest, visited him and tried to converse with him on the snbiect of his future. He refused to listen to the words cf the priest, and finally Fatber Gunn left him. Bellows then turned to his guards and with aa oath declared that he wanted nothing to do with mi Lists rs. During the day be frpqnently burst forth. With lits of profanity and th-n would give way to tears. In the evening a note bidding him good-bye w? s handed him from one of his s sters, who Uvea near this city. After Allows read this he tore it and threw it on the floor. Later at night one of the guards called for a bucket of coai, an attendant brought it, and. as he opened the cell coor. Bellows made a rush for it, but was stopped by tLe other guards. Bellows then seized a chair and attacked the guTd viciously, but was toon overpowered. Daring the nigh', he continued, alternately, swfariog and weeping, until about 4 o'clock, from which tin e be dozed until 7 o'clock this morning. Half an hour later be ate a hearty break fast He wa.i asked if h9 desired tbe servicesiof a miuisttr. He replied: ' I'll be danir d if I'll have any of them. I am mv own preacher." Shortly after 10 o'clock preparations for the execution were begun, and It required tbe ur.Ued efforts of four men to place the handcufli cn his wrists, and they were succe8ful after throwing him to the floor. During the melee he bit one of the guards severely cn tbe hand. At 10:44 BeJ'ows appeared at the scaffold supported by two gurcJs, who bad to fairly disg him cp tne sfcort night cf steps leading to the platform of the scaffold and ho'.d nim up as be strod upon tbe trap. As the Sberifl placed the rope around his neck he exclaimed; "Please don t." This he re peated four times, and then as the white rep was drawn over his heart, he cried out in tones of abject terror "I'm innocent." The sheriff stepped back, the trap shot downwards, and the murderer hung be tween heaven and earth dying, wita a lie on his lips. A. Steax:i?r in Distress.

atatYih) in Cafarrh is inflamrnntion el the tr.neonp membrane, attended with increased secretion. Thus catarrh may aflcct the head, throat, stomach, bowels; or any part of the body Where the mucous membrane is found. But catarrh of the head is by far the most common, coming on so gradually that often its presence is not suspected till it has obtained a trm bold on its victim. It is caused by a cold, cr a succession of colds, combined with Impure Blood. When firmly established the disease is exceedingly disagreeable, causing Cow from the cose, dryness of the throat, headache, loss of arpetite, roaring and buzzing noises in the ears, etc. In Hood's Sirsaparilla may be found a prompt and permanent, cure for catarrh. It purifies and enriches the Hood, soothes and rebuilds the diseased membrane, and thus soon cures the disease. At the same time it refreshes and tones the whole system. The remarkable success of this peculiar medicine entitles it to your confideace. Hive Hood's Sarsaparüla a trial. 000 Fold y All drnggtst. fl; six for 5. Prepared only ly C.

"I Sin h.-.r.ry to Stat that I used Hood'i Prrsaj arilia for catarrh, v.iia which I hava been troubled many years, and received great relief and benefit from it Tbe catarrh? was very disagreeable, especially in th winter, causing constant discharge from my nose, ringing noises In my ears, and pains ia the back of my head. The effort to clear my head in the morning by hawking and spitting was rainful. My grocer advised me to try Hood's Sarsapnrllla, and it gave me relief immediately, while In time I was entirely cured. I am never without the medicine In my house, as I think it Is worth Its weight in gold." Mrs. G. B. Gibb, 1020 Eighth Street, X.
