And yet, every year it becomes more and more difficult, concurring with the reigning ideas of society,for young men to enter upon the matrimonial state which is the proper guard of their virtue, as well as the source of their courage and enterprise. The battle of life is almost always at the begining. Then it is that man needs wedlock. Rut a wicked and ridiculous public sentiment puts a man who is in society, or out of society, for that matter, largely on tho ground of condition, and not of disposition and character. The man who has means wherewith he can visibly, live amply, is in good society, as a general rule. The man vrho has virtue and sterling manliness, but has nothing at all external to show, is not usually considered in • good society. Ambitious young men will not therofore, marry, until they can meet their expenses; but that is deferring for years and years the indispensable virtue. Society is bad where two cannot live cheaper than one! and young men aic undor bad who, when in the vetTy morning of life, and better fitted than at any other period to grow together with one who is their equal and mate, are debarred from marrying, through scores of years, from mere prudential considerations,and. the heart and the life arc sacrificed to the pocket. They are templed to substitute am bition for love, when at last, over the ashes and expiring embers of their early romance, they select their wife. It is said that men who until they .ire forty or forty-five years of age, select prudently. Alas, for the wife who was not first a sweetheart! Prudence is good; but what is prudence? Is it the dry calculation of the head leagued with the pocket ? Is there no prudence in taste, nor prudence in the inspiration of a generous love? Is there no prudence in the faith by which, banded, two young persons go down into the struggle of life.saving " CotmD weal. I honestly believe it is better know nothin than to know what ain't so.

AVho was it that Jupiter won in a shower of gold ? Whoever :t was, that i? the type. She whose heart is won by abundance ; she who is bought into matrimony by house? and lands; she who marries for genteel wealth—she it is that Ju•Hter seduced by gold. For nil wedlock is aduhcrous in which it is not the heart that inspires marriage. Noble is that young spirit* which, seeing, and loving, and choosing, and silently biding her choice, and giving herself freely, romantically, if you will, (God be thanked for the loniance,) it goes down to a level with her husband's nothingness and poverty, that he and she may, with willing hands from the bottom build dp their estate. Blessed is that woman who sees that in going down she is going up, and that it is the losing of life that saves it. Blessed is that woman who carries with her into married life all that she learned in the refinement of her father's family ; who proves that she is a woman in this, that gentleness, and praise, and abundance' and luxury even, ministered to the better part of her nature, and prepared her to go forth and minister earnestly and permanently in the midst of difficulties.

Men sometimes speak of pinched fare. These arc not woi thy of notice. It is not these. It is that men learn self-indulgence there. Men learn there not lo be householders. And alj the various discipline, all that ministration of care, all that drill of contrivance, all that social independence, all that subtle atmosphere, indescribable and unanalysable. which belongs to the solitary household, they miss. No man can mako husband and wife, father and moth" er, anil householders on the pattern of their fathers, who begin and continue their married life in this hoUbed style of existence. And yet they are unwilling to take house tl.at they can afford; and they cannot afford to lake the house they fain would live in, because furniture is so dear and virtue so cheap -, because society requires a certaifi amount of appearance, you know; because it would not do to go to the outskirts of the town!

Men having started on the false principle, they do not get over it They are perpetually, tempted to overlive their very affections. If there is anything that an honorable orsenfitive man's nature feels and cannot stand, it is the silent comparison on the part of the wife, by a look even of the way in which she did live, and the way in which she does live, llow does this drive men into dishonesties? How docs it drive them out of simplicity and bold willingness to live according to their circumstances V Howdoes it teach them to live for other people's eyes, and not for their own actual needs! How docs it teach them to be more subject to vanity than to love! Such life is hollow. Ostentation takes the place of sincerity. And so, ere long, a man is educated to be a rouge, and steals.
