W HEX SIIOULD PEOPLE WED?
VALUE OF A MAIDEN'S FREEDOM. Harriett Ir!eott Spoffortl's Views of Early 'Wedlock For Youdr Mm It May be Desirable, but Not for Girls Rote buds of Marriage. Copyright, 1S83-1 IT must be generally conceded that the married state is that in which the greatest happinesss is possible; and it might be inferred, then, that one could not enter it too early. But those who may recall the son Matthew in "Piljrrim's Progress," who made himself ill by eating green apples frreen apples which might have been wholesome and delicious had ho waited until they were ripe, can recall an illustration quite contradictory of such inference. .Fortunate for him, a. it may seem to the mother of a pod, if her bey fhall marry early, yet his instance ie a singular one, if, on reaching something less than middle age, he has not dropped Iiis w ife so far behind him as to leave himself practically unmarried, having a nurse, a housekeeper, a humble friend, topf?ibly a slave, but certainly no companion, no wife, in the wide sense of tho word- His early. marriage may have been, superficially considered, an advantage to his morality, and so to his health ; but wben the .mother has brought up tier boy, as it is her duty to do, to understand that the same personal purity is required of him that is required of her pirl, and that his passions are to be under the name control that his sister's are, at whatever age, then the question of that morality will not enter into the afliiir at all. But however the mother of a son may look at the subject of early marriages, the mother of a'daughter is justified, it seems to me, in a rather decided opposition to them. If, instead of being a creat and happy portion of the school of life, marriage constituted the whole of it, or life existed only for the sake of lnarriajre, still those entering its portals must be the better for Euitalle preparation. I am unable to supjx)se that at the age of eighteen or twenty anv preparation has been eufficient. The agfe is lovely in its tenderness, and enchanting with its illusions; but wisdom wears a severer face, and marriage deals with stern facts, fckinie girls there may be, of rare ability, who are competent to take upon their Young Shoulders the responsibility of a Louse, its work, or the direction of those who do its work, the oversight of husband's wardrobe, the bearing anil nursing of children, the physical attention to them in health and" in sickness, and the daily direction of their moral and mental education, together with all the other indoor and outdoor cares incidental to the position of one who is the head of a family, anil who has the happiness of a home and a husband on her heart and conscience. But these cases are few and exceptional, and the great multitude of girls under twenty are not tqual to such a strain upon nerve and muscle without an arrestbf development. A lew years later they may remember theniEClvesatthatae as still children ; they may feel some reproach toward those who laid upon them then a burden preater than Children Should bear. Even were skill, experience, discretion, well established, industrious habits formed, a universal belonging of the maiden of eighteen or twenty years, I think it would be as much a cruelty to demand all this exertion of her as it would be if she were six or eight years younger. JJefore twenty a girl lias hardly had the chance to receive the complete instruction from text books to which she has a right, to say nothing of the domestic education of the kitchen, the needle, the sickroom; she has had little chance to learn anything of the world of human nature; she has intuitions, not experiences; she has lived more with dreams and ideals than with realities, tshe may make a charming wife at iirst, and a tender mother always, maternal instinct and solicitude taking the lace of all the superiority that added years might have given. But she must stop there, taxed to the utmost; she has no time, nor strength, and perhaps as inclination grows bv ue no inclination to read, to study, to keep pace with a husband's advance, or even to ajepreciate it. I will not say that when, in a few years, she has lost the appearaiit-u of youth, when she has no more a fresh color and a smooth face, when a pretty toilette no longer becomes her, that the husband who continues to cherish her will take credit to himself for doing fco; but it is evident that she encounters the danger of this feeling on Ids part. Nor do I think it an argument worth mentioning that the women f arlv married is so moulded and Writ to her husband's will that clashing and incompatibility become impossible ; because in marriage the rights and sacrifices should be mutual, and I will not so insult the husband as to suppose him unreasonable enough for this moulding to be necessary, or selfish enough to wish thus to suppress individuality, unable to find jileasure liiinfcelf in renunciation, or negligent of civilized, not to sav Christian duty. Charming wife and tender mother as she may 1, however, it is not to be doubted that when her education is more thorough and her experience more extended, she will be a nobler wife and a far U tter mother. Ishe will have lost some softening trifle of the arrogance of youth ; vanity, levitv, love of admiration, will have been so chastened as not to play the part of death's hv&r at the feast; she wilt have learned sei f-sacri lice and forlearance: she will have acquired tact and discretion anil the sacred art of eilence; he will have become harmonious; and she w ill know how to order home as she did not knew ln-fore. Her knowledge will have ojened avenues and outlooks of which her family will have the advantage; her judgment "will have ripened, her whole nature developed; she will take life at a higher plane, and hr husband and her children, her whole world and tho generations to come, will have gained by the delay. If it were but for the sake of those generations to come, lsrnof mothers full grown in mind as well ns iu Isjdy, the delav would le worth while. A voung mother, with her children aljout her, is often a lovely sight ; but .'is lovelv a sight in a different way, if not so touching and apja!ing, is the mother to whom a few added years have piven an immense added leverage in the task of bringing her child-! ren up, and lifting them to a higher level even than her own. But meanwhile, the generation that is here has it.? own kirn on the young girl ; tho father and the mother should have respect paid to their jiersonal preference in tho matter. To exert every care und effort for a daughter, to practice selfdenial, and to spend half his income on her education and accomplishment, and then, .uncertain of results, to surrender her to anot her. usually a ftranger, without any interval of employment of her sweet luaturer s iety, must te a jeculiar trial to a father. Mont fathers are unselfish enough to disregard themselves, but their equities remain the same; and it would seem that, if they wish, thev should be able to retain Uicir duuhtenj for a jKjriod, us the coun
try can demand, for a limited time, the services of the warrior it educates. Moreover, the girl herself claims consideration. Give her a few years of absolute freedom from deep emotions, a little period to ilutter before she settles on her rose, time for her music, her art, her books, her charities, her social pleasures, before she takes life in its seriousness. Anything else cramps, her, dwarfs her, hinders her from her right to the full stature of a wife, is a relic of the Zenana and of the complete subjection of woman. She has a right, too, to happiness carried to its highest power happiness which can not be given to ber at seventeen or twenty, because she is incppable of receiving, it. She may be happy then, indeed, as the bud may feel the warm morning airs blowing gratefully about it. but only the bosom of the wide-blown llower can receive the sunshine of full heaveu. A woman wastes her opportunity of happiness in not waiting for those ripening years. The nature that is thoroughly developed is capable of feeling far more than that which is still on its way to development, and it is to be doubted if a woman under twenty-five can receive to its utmost the deep joy, the boundless content that surrounds true marriage as t-unshine and blue sky surround the earth. IIarkiet I'rescott JSpofford. The Monkey Actors. Xew York San. Herr Brockmann's monkeys arrived in IIoloken yesterday morning on the steamship Saale", after a somewhat stormy and uncomfortable passage, wherein it was impossible for most of them to do more than wish to die. Their manager says that champagne and deviled crabs produced no more e fleet upon their seasickness than plain peanuts, and that when he endeavored to rehearse them in a few of their parts they all with one accord swarmed over the side of the ship as if vying with each other to be first in the race" for relief and escape. The reason why these actors are called Favians isthat they were all raised in Favia in Italy. They have divers Christian ntimcs, but their family name is ami will always remain l'avia.

He speaks with the eoiii'nlence of a man of assured position in public respect and has nil the gratification of know ivff that his state heartily indorses his official utterances. Many aspersions on his patriotism he has survived. His iM-eeli yesterday in reply to the recent vitiijtemtive etfort of Senator Iniralls of Kansas was in keeping with hishi'h reputation as a public man, and clearly showed not only that the attack 011 Hancock and MeClellan was without warrant, but that the democracy have always been as friendly and considerate to the soldier as their political opponents, and that the conditions now prevailing in the South are filch as tend to promote prosperity and frater nity.

Jlis denials had been categorical and earnest, and the ordinary amenities of the senate should have precluded Injr.'ills from oMenively insistingon hi assertions. Yoorhees finally blistered his adversary with the lie direct, and there really seemed nothing else for him to do. In-.'alls had raked tip matter which was antiquated and which bad been denied many times, and his recklessness as to facts was shown when he picked up on the moment from his Indiana coaeher the bell-rope story, and used it without investigation.

A BEE'S BUZZ ABOUT BLAINE
STIRS THE PRESIDENTIAL FEVER, The Ilesult of Which Is About As Well Known nt the Present Time an It Will lie 12arly in the Ides In the Couiiu2 Mouth of November, ruiLADELPniA, May 4. The Times will publish to-morrow the following 'triple-leaded special from Kew York, which it will indorse ns corning direct from a most authentic source: "I have entirely reliable information that the riends of Rhine have, within the last three days, received directly from him his assent to an aggressive movement for his re-nomination for president, and the assurance that if nominated in the face of his Florence letter of dcclinat ion, he will not feel at liberty to decline. A general and systematic effort Las been made by IJlaine's closest friends, such as Chairman Jones, William Walter Thelps, Whitelaw Heid, Charles Kmory Smith and others for two months past to get 151aine into the attitude of a passive candidate. The Washington conference was only part of the varied methods by which influences had been brought to bear upon IJlaine, and the publication of his portrait, freshly taken from life in Italy and issued by JiiJgr this week, was decided on more than a iuouth ago as the starting point for the avowed effort to ninkcclllaine the candidate. Every possible pressure has been put upon IUaine to get from him the .direct assurance that he will not decline if nominated, and that assurance has been received in this city from Blaine within the last three days. "In a very few days more it will cease to be a Secret that Blaine is in the hands of his friends, ns the Blaine leaders will at once come to the front and make an aggressive campaign for his renoinination. This movement hau been pretty clearly foreshadowed for some weeks in buch IIaine organs as the Tribune of this city and the Philadelphia 1'rtss, and all affectation about Maine's candidacy will now soon he thrown off and the buttle made an aggressive one. "Part of the original programme was the election of Charles Kmory Smith as a delegate-nt-larye from your state, and the failure was a great disappointment to the Blaine junta in this city; but Mr. Smith gave the assurance that Elaine can command a majority of the Pennsylvania delegation under any circumstances, and that if Maine's nomination shall seem to be nssured the delegation will be solid for hiiu. "The unexpected expressions in Massachusetts and Vermont for Blaine were not accidental, nor are they unexpected to. Blaine's friends. AYhen all of the antidilaine men were reposiug on their arms because they regarded Maine as out of the fitdit, the friends of l'.Iaine were most energetic in their work in the two nnti-Blaine New Kngland states, and they got possession of Vermont and Massachusetts while the others were sleeping iu faift ied security. It was the expression of three hitherto anti-BIaine New England states that made lilaine cast aside his doubts and assent to the importunities of his friends for his renoinination. "It is now a positive fact that Blaine is in the fiel J; that his friends have his assent to a movement in bis favor, ami that he will be nominated at Chicago if hard work and plenty of enthussiasm can accomplish it." New Yokk, May 5. The World publishes the following: "James G. Blaine will uot be inaccessible when the national republican convention is liel.l on June I'd. From time plans would be so nrransre I that when the to time it has been Stated that Mr. Blaine's national convention was 111 session lie wonM be on the Atlantic, homeward bound, and wholly out of reach, to that he cunM neither decline nor accept a nomination if tendered to him. The World, however, yesterday definitely ascertained that the Maine statesman will at that particular and critical juncture be w ithin comparatively easy reach, so that he can readily be communicated with, and can accept a call from his party, if it sees lit to enter him in the lists, and he feels disposed to again encounter the hard and perilous work of a presidential campaign. "Some time ago Mrs. Andrew Carnegie of this city, who wit It her husband, yearly Fpendssome time in the Highlands of Scotland, sent an invitation to Mrs. laineaskingthat she ami Lor distinguished husband might join them in their yearly outing. At the time the letter was written contradictory reports were 1 eing published in almost every newspaper in regard to Mr. l'.laine's health. Again, there was great uncertainty as to Mr. IJlaine's return. On Wednesday last Mrs. Carnegie received a letter from Mrs. Maine thanking her for her kind invitation and saying that she ami Mr. Ulaine would gladly accept. Mrs. Carnegie, on the receipt rf the letter, immediately sent word as to the time she would arrive in London. , The trip will, in all probability, be made by coach, Mr. CarnpgicVs favorite way of traveling along and over the lorder. Hence the party will proceed through tho beautiful Scottish Highlands." "Mr. lilaim-'s friends here assert that there is no doubt about his improved health. It would le foil)', they say, for a man to attempt a coaching trip for enjoyment if he were not in good jdiysieal condition. Those w ho know Mr. JUaine nay that he is altogether too careful to make such a trip if lie were not feeling well. Mr. Carnegie paid to a World reporter last evening: 'It is quite true that the Ulaines are to join us for a trip to Scotland. Uur plaiiH, as far as arranged, w ill call for an outing of Home weeks. We expert to leave Ijndon with Mr. and Mrs. Maine about the (1th of June. The report of Mr. Maine'b good health is subhtantiated.' " BLAINE'S HOPES AND WISHES. Whitrlaw Itt hl Hint That His Nomination Un.roNihlllty. New Yokk, May 5. "The comments in to-day's Trtlmne reflect my sentiments exactly," Baid Whitelaw I'eid, the editor, to a re 1 ort er, and ho pointed out tho paragraph. It said that the story of tho Philadelphia Thnrs corresiondent was, liko tho recent stufl about Mr. Maine's dreadful statu of health, chiefly bosh. Continuing, Mr. Heid na id: "I do not know that I need Fay anymore. There is nothing in the story." "Then you bclievo".Mr. lilaino will not be 11 candidate?" "He ban done nil in his tower to prevent it. He was jerfcctly sincere in withdrawing his name from consideration, and he did it in good nerson. He did it against the carnc.-t and vehement protest of every friend, ho far us I know, w l 10 had any idea of what wax imciiling. The lb Id has been absolutely open and free ever since to any candidate who rould give reasonable pronpseof carrying enough of the doubtful plates to necure the election. The sound republican who can now eonvirn-o the party that he could probably get more votes than any other nound republican vi the doubtful states Mould be mire of the cordial Hupxrt of those who have heretofore pushed Mr. Maine." , "J)o you think there is nny possibility of Mr. Claine's nomination? "Yen, a josibility. Blaine lias withdrawn his name as a candidate, which was bin ritfht. Tho party is engaged in considering the names 'of other candidates, who are oflcred under the prevailing volunteer system and the convention will do the saute if, after full considera
tion, it fails to find any other candidate about whoso strength in the doubtful states it feels an equal degree of confidence, it may finally conclude, as Mr. Lincoln did at the critical period of the war, that the volunteer business is played out, and that a draft must m ordered. That contingency may never occur, and at present it i.s certainly distaut. Mit if it should occur, I believe the service of the republican party at this time to be, in the Ingest s?nse, the service of the country, and see no reason why Mr. Blaine, more than any other citizen, who has sought and received honors from his party could or should he exempt from his draft. To refuse under Puch circumstances, in fact, "would seem not un liked desertion in tho face of the enemy." ChairmttJi Jone Eenlal. PlrrsniTG, May 5. In an interview today with Chairman Jones, of the national republican executive committee he paid ho far as Mr. Blaine's health was concerned he was as well as he ordinarily is, barring a slight cold. "Some of the stories told about him," said he, "are absurd. To group some of them into one general denial I may gay that Mr. Maine has not decided to bo a candidate, he has not asked his friends to make an aggressive movement in his behalf, he has not written any letters declining the nomination a second time, and it is not true that he will be beyond the reach of the telegraph when the Chicago convention is in session. Mr. Maine said he desired to remain abroad two years but feared he would not be able to do so. I would not be surprised to hear he was coming next month or that he would stay away until next year. No time lias a3 yet been fixed for his return. There is no denying the fact that ever since the declination there lui3 been a prowing sentiment among republican that Mr. Blaine should accept the leadership of the party in the next great battle. This movement has great strength, and will be a powerful, if not the most powerful, element in the next convention. I do not think that it is the intention of Mr. Blaine to come out squarely as a candidate, or to plumply ask his friends to support John Smith or John Jones. Ho is only human, and may of course say, 'So-and-so is mv friend, and I would like to see him nominated,' and. stich an expression would have great weight." Kmnions Blaine Will Not Talk. PtTTsneRo, May 5. Emmons Maine was in the city this morning en route to Chicago. In an interview he said the Philadelphia Times story was news to him, but refused to say anything further. He received a letter from his father, dated IJome, a few days ago. The letter stated that the writer was in tho best of health, and intended leaving for Genoa in a short time and from there would go to Nice bv coach. HOW BLAINE LOST NEW YORK. The Interference of National Committeemen Cont a Heavy I'rice. Nashville, Tenn., May 7. The American tomorrow will publish au interview w ith A. M. Hnglies, jr., chairman of the republican state executive committee, reunling the failure of lloscoe Conkling to actively support James (J. Blaine in the last presidential canvass. Mr. Hughes gives these facts, never before made public. In brief, Mr. Hughes waid that soon after Mr. lihiine was nominate!. Senator Chaffee, the father-in-law of V. Grant, ir., and one of tbe foremost republicans in tlie est, realizing the importance of Keeurinit the assistance ot Mr. Conkling for Mr. Maine in New York, came East and went to New York for that especial purpose; tluit Senator Chaffee, as the result of a prolonged and earnest conference with Jlr. Conkling, secured from him the promise that if Mr. Dlflltie WOtlld write Ii i 11 a personal letter requeotini; his assistance, that he (Mr. Conkling) woullrejly in an open letter with a pledge to actively mijlort him in the canvass; that Senator Chaffee, enthused ut his siicees with Conklinjr, got on tlie first train which left New York after this pled ire wns given by him and went to see Mr. ISlaine nt his home in Maine. The situation was explained and Mr. Blaine .promptly wrote the desired letter to Mr. Conklintr. This letter was given to Walker lilaine to he carried by him iu person to Mr. Conkling as a delicate compliment and Senator Chaffee rejoiced that his mission was done, disappeared from the scene. He anxiously awaited the publication of the response from Jfr. Conkling, but it never came. Investigation proved that Mr. blaine carried the letter to New York, but on his way to Mr. Conklinji's house stopped at the national republican headquarters, mentioning the purpose of his presence in New York t Steve KIkins, J5. F. Jones, chairman of the republican national executive committee, and one or two othprs. These managers decided that it was best to ignore Conkling and that the letter must not reach him. Accordingly it was suppressed and the world knows the result. The. animosity of Mr. Conkling was intensified at the additional affront and lilaine hist New York. Mr. Hughes is positive that these statements were correct for they came directly from one of the gentlemen who suppressed the letter. This man revealed the circumstance after the death of Conkling and when it was not thought that L'laine would go before the next convention.

It lias been surmised that if men had not vocnl organs, they would have invented some other way of "talking" but so long as they hnve these organs of speech, and cars to hear it with, not much occasion seems to have arisen for getting up any other kind of lungnnges. Lieut.

Why Yoif Feel Eo weak and exhausted i3 because your blood is impure. As well expect the sanitary condition of a city to be perfect with dciilcd water and defective sewerage, as to expect such a complicated piece of mechauism as the human framo to be in ood order with, impure blood circulating even to its minutest veins. Do you know that every drop of your two or three gullous of blood passes through the heart and lungs ia about two and a half minutes, and that,' on its way, it makes bone and muscle, brain and nerve, and all other soRds and fluids of the body? The blood ,1s tho great nourisher, or, as the Bible terms it, "The Life of the Body." Is it any wonder, then, that if the bipod le not pure and perfect In its constituents, you suffer &o mauy indescribable symptoms? Ayer's Sarsaparllla stands " head and shoulders" above every other Alterative and IJlood Mellcine. As proof, read these reliable testimonies : r. C. ISrock, of Lowell, Mass., says: "For th past 2.") years I have Bold Ayer's 5Sarsap:irilla. In my opinion, the best remedial agencies for the cure of all the diseases arising from impurities of the blood are contained in this medicine." Eugene, I. Hill, M. D., 3S1 Sixth Ave., Kew Yo.k, says: "As a blood-puririer ami general builder-up of the system, I have never found anything to equal Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It gives perfect satisfaction." 9 Ayer's Sarsaparilla proves equally eflicaciOUS iu all forms of Scrofula, Hoils, Carbuncles, Eczema, Humors, Lumbago. Catarrh, &c; and is, therefore, the very best Spring and Family Medicine in use. " It beats all," Hays Mr. Culler of Cutler Brothers & Co., Huston, "Low Ayer's Sarsaparilla does stll."
