Theie is some truth lo be told about the common run' ol masculine prowlers by night about garden walls and under bed room windows, in quest of opportunities to pour aeducing flatteries into the ears of simple misses but we have not lime to tell it now. Ah a general rule, they ore licentious, good for nothing adventurers, which would much rather marry a living than work for it, and who speculate on the chances of -bringing the old folks round' in year or two. A true man would not ad vise, much less urge, the woman he loved to take a step whiuh must inevitably less* en the respect felt lor. and violate the trusi reposed in her by those who had loved and cherished her all her days.

The marriage of girls fourteen lo seventeen years is a prevalent cause of personal and transmitted evil and suffering. Pre maturely taxed with the care nnd nourishment chi dren, their constitutions givr way. and at thirty )h*y are already on Uic down hill of liie.

The Legislature of our Sliile every winter attempts some tinkering of our laws respecting marriage but generally succeed* in doing very (utile mischief. We urge no action at all upon the subject hat. whenever any change shall be made iu these we salt that a provision be inserted for the discouragement and repression of runaway marriages.

The popular notions on this subject, formented by rhe 'yellow covered' literature of the day are esceedingly lax and mistaken The young Miss who elopes from the parental roof to marry some adventurer who wai probably unknown lo her last year, is often represented aa a girl of rare spirit, who does a remarkaly clever thing. We hold, on the conitnry. lhat in a great majority of cases aher elopement in unwise, gt'fiiy ungrateful. imtnole«t aud evince* a lascivou* appetne and reckless disposition. Wtiy should »K'e desert and distress those who have loved, nurtured, and clierishad her through all paat yearn, to throw herself into the arms of a comparative stranger, who had done nothing for her, and whose pro testation* of aifuction have yet to undergo the firat trial! It is in every w»y unwortnv of pur* and gentle maidenhood to do

We can imagine but one excuse for Ser elopement—numely, the effort# of parent* or guardians to coerce her to marry aome »ne she did not love. To avoid such a fate she is justified in running lor no par fiit nas or ever had a rignt to cou*trutn a daughter to marry agaihsE her own will.— lint where the parents are willing to wait, the daughter should ulso consent io4wm un* til her choice is absented lo. or ahe attains her legal majority. Then if ahe chooses to marry in opposition to her parents wishes let her quit her home openly in broad daylight, ami in auch manner as shall kindly but utterly preclude any pretence that her act is clandestine or ill-considnred No one .should be persuaded or coerced to marry where she does not love but to wait a year or two for the a^.sent ol those who have all her lite done what they could for her welfare, no daughter, should e«tiem a hardship. -.
