KARLYMARRfAatit

There are hundreds of young men that should be married who arc not married. To marry early la discreet and wise And whan men awl women are of marriageable ager I think it is to be In general true thatt 16 Is wholesome for them to be raarrfrid, It is not necessary that they should remain single because they stand In poverty, for two can live cheaper than one If they live with discretion, If they live with cooperative seal, If they liv as they ought to live. If the

ing man is willing to seem poor if he If the young woman, being poor, is willing to live poorly If they are willing to plant tbeir lives toother like two seeds, and watt for thrlr growth, and look for their abundance by and by, when they have fairly earned ft, then it a good thing for them to come early into this partnership. For characters adapt themselves to each other In tie early period* of life &r more easily than they do afterwards. They who marry cany are like vines growing together and twining round Mid round each other wboreaa, multitude#of tho»o who marry late »n lifeaUnd side by side like two iron columns, which, separated at the beginningnever come any nearer to each other. There hi no school which God, ever opened, or permitted to be opened, which young people can so ill avoid aa.the school of care and responsibility and labor in the household and a young man and young woman marry ing, no matter from what source they came together, uo matter how high their fitthera have stood, one of the most wholesome things they can do, having married for love, and with discretion, is to be willing to begin at the bottom, and bear the burdens of household 11% so that they shall have its education. I tell vou, there are pleasures which many young married people tubs. I would not give up the first two years of my married life for all I have now. 1 live in a big house, with a brown stone front, and very fiiirly luruishod but, after all, among the choicest cxperionoea of my life were those which I passed through In Indiana, when I hired two chambers up-stairs when all of my furniture was given to me, and was sec-ond-hand at that and when the very, clothes wh eh I had on my .back had been worn by Judge Birney before me. We were not able to hire a servant. We bad to serve ourselves. It was a study every day how to get along with our small means, and it was a study never to bo forgotten. I awe many of the pleasures which have run through my ife to being willing to begin where I bad to begin, and to tight poverty with love, and to overcome it, and to learn bow to live In service and helpfulness, and la all the thousand ingenuities which love sweetens aad makes more and more delightful.—(H. W. Beecher
