EARLY MAKRIAUKS
One of the questions relating to
women which has lately absorbed
much of the atlcmioii of writers
at what age girls ought to marr

dangerous experiment. It is the
law of nature for gay youth to lev,
Ray youth, and a wide discrepant-;
.in point of years is quite likely t-
result as fatally as a wide discrepan
cy in point of taste. It is not often
that a girl of twenty-five nas the
same tastes she had at eighteen,
t he heyday of romance is not so
strong within her. She looks bt-
,s neath the handsome exterior for
some inward graces of mind and
heart, and the chances are in favor
e of her happier marriage. Love is

'The world is full .-if misfits, which
an he attributed to various sources.
Ot all of them can he laid to the
illy of youth, although early mar-
ages are undoubtedly a fruitful
mrce ot domestic woe. The mar-
age de eon vonance must hear ii.s
tare of the burden. A line estab-
slunent is often considered ot par-
mount importance to the m-cessa-
y accompaniment in the form of a
usbnnd, wli > is, indeed, not fro-
uonlly looked upon in the ligi-t ol
n incumbrance at the very ouiset,
•hen if ever, there is some glamour
fromance. But the ago has souie-
ling to do with this sort of inatri-
loniai compact. The ‘•discreet”
oung woman who forms such an
lliauee generally does so with her
yes wide open, and, whatever be
ur measure of uisery, is deserving
f little sympathy. Of very near
in to her case is that of the woman
• ho secs‘‘her shadow grow long at
er feet,” and with oid-maidism,
,itii its attendant horrors, staring
cr in the face, makes up her mind

uui who offers, merely for the
•rivilego of writing “.Mrs.” on her
'isifing card. The chit of sixteen
ould hardly ha guilty oi greater
oily, to call it by no harsher name,
lthough it can hardly be reckoned
hort of a crime when committed
icliberately. The priest has no
iglit, even had lie the power, to
own into hearts, and such inar-
iages, if inarrriages tiiey are, are
very day consecrated and sanc-
[oned by the law. And it is in ac-
urd with the universal rule of re-
rihutive out justice that they parry
yith tiipm consequent ii terness.
One of the strongest arguments
irought to hear against early mar-
iages is that a girl under the age of
wentv is hardly through with her
:cVoi-books and that she lias bad
jo opportunity to acquire any do-
uestic knowledge', to say nothing
it the great world <>f human nature.
Experience, which is needed to
one down the arrogance of youth,
he has not had, and amiable and
ovely.asshe may be, sh • has not
earned the divine art of silence.
Another source of domestic dissat-
sfaction in the case of tooyouthiul
Marriages' is that women rarely ad
vance in literary acquirements »f-
:er they have taken upon them
selves the vows of wifehood, where-
»5s men, as a rule, go on until they
lave passed their prime. The
, re tty little wife who was once his
.qua!, and met every requirement
it his taste, has fallen sadly into the
jackground, and, although he maj
•ontinue to cherish her, he will
yery likely in his mind contrast her
ivilli the woman wh<>is up with the
imes, who can converse with him
,nd appreciate him. Possibly the
jraiuy woman would not keep hi-
house so well. Man is so constitu
ted lhat however, much lie may
like creature comforts, ,ie wants a
joinpanton in his wife, and not
merely a housekeeper. The latter
;an be hired for a compensation in
dollars and cents. He wants his
wife to be something above and be
yond all this.
There is another side to the ques
tion. The children—and there are
still sometimes children, even in
American families—will have as
their birthright-stronger and finer
brains if born of a mother who is
full-grown in mind; and as they
pass from the animal stage of their
existence aud advance in book lore
and become worldly-wise, if the
mother mind is of such a grain that
it cm enter into their pursuits,tin y
will not grow away from her aud
heme.
I do not mean to say that there are
no happy marriages consummated
in earlvyouth, hut the chances are
against it. Diana, of Poictiers, at
the age of thirteen married a wid
ower of fifty, and these is no re
cord that her twenty years ol mar
ried life did not liofd its full meas

Sunday morning our city was griev
ed to learn of tlieg death of Judge
Alexander G. Murray, which occur
red at 8 o’clock Saturday night
from the effects ot paralysis, with
which lie was stricken on the 31st
of May.
Judge Murray at the time of liis
death was 78 years of age, having
been born near Richmond, Vn., in
ISOS. In 1810 his father moved to
Oglethorpe county, Ga., and there
resided until 1830, when ho went to
[Ienry county, and there raised a
family of seven children, Alexander
G. being the second offspring.
Judge Murray lived in McDonough,
Henry county, aud practiced law
with the late Hon. L. J. Glenn
partner until 184',, when he i

murmur rose spontaneously from
the battle-scarred spectators as a
young artilleryman rose from the
prisoners’ bench and in response to
t lie question, “Guilty or not guilty?”
answered, “Not Guilty.''
The Judge Advocate was proceed
ing to open the prosecution, when
the court observing lhat the pris
oner was unattended by counsel, in
terposed and inquired of the accus
ed,“Who is your counsel ?” He re
plied, “I have no counsel.” Suppos
ing that it was his purpose to repre
sent, himself before the court, the
Judge Advocate was instructed to
proceed. Every charge and specifi
cation against the prisoner was sus
tained. The prisoner was then told
to introduce his witnesses. He re
plied, "I have no witnesses.”
Astonished at the calmness with
which he seemed to be submitting
to what he regarded as inevitable
fate, I said to him,—
“Have you no defense? Is it pos
sible that you abandoned your com
rades, and deserted your colors in
the presence of the enemy, without
any reason ?”
He replied, “There was a reason,
hut it will not avail me before a
military court.” I said, “Perhaps
you are mistaken.”
Approaching the president of the
court, he presented a letter, saying
as he did so,—
“There, general, is what did it!”
I opened the lets r. It was in these
words:
“MY Dear Edward,—I would
not have you do anything wrong for

who has for forty-eight years made
him a devoted and constaut wife,
aud still survives him. After his
removal to Griffin he embarked in
the newspaper enterprise and in
is!i* he published the “American
Whig,” anil in 1S19, when the Whig
party dissolved, he changed its
name to the “American Union;”
but at the beginning of the war,
\i hen popular sent intent was agaiust
the union of States, he changed the
name of his paper to the “Southern
Union,” and continued it under that
name until lie was forced to discon
tinue its publication .*;i account of
liis Union proclivities in 1863. Ju-t
after the war he resumed the publi
cation of the American Union, hut
soon sold out to J. Clarke Swayze,
who removed the office to Macon.
About this time the bankrupt law
was enacted and lie was appointed
Registrar, which position he held
until the law was repealed. Since
that time he has by T reason of in
firmities led a quiet life and em
barked in no public enterprise.
While Judge Murray’s politics
differed from the major sentiment
of the State, he was esteemed by
both parties as a gentlenuyi who
was pure and true to his principles.
Judge Murray raised a family of two
son "and four daughters, who live
as a monument to his teachings—
upright,honorable lives. Judge Mur
ray lived a pure, Christian lite, hav
ing joined the ” .hudist church
ever sixty y r ears ago, in Henry-
county, and one of his Christian
prayers, by his acts, seemed to be to
do unto others as he would bedone
by.”
Thus another of our old and es
teemed citizens has passed away,
having lived to a ripe old age and
seen the fruits of his life ripen into
glorious maturity under his Chris
tian influence. Judge Murray is
dead. “After life’s-fitful fever, he

A young Indian chiel was so de
lighted by a tin type of himself tak
en by a wandering artist at the
agency that he wanted a picture of
his squaw, who was placed in posi
tion before the camera. Just as
everything was about ready to
take the picture the chief wanted
to see how his better half would
look.
He put his head under the cloth
of the camera, and, to his horror,
saw she was standing on her head.
He instantly jerked his head out
from under the curtain, but saw her

Thinking he might have been
mistaken, the Indian took another
peep,and saw she was again stand
ing on her head. He remonstrated
with her, saying she could not ex
pect a picture to look like her if she
persisted in standing on her head.
The squaw denied any such acro
batic performance.
Upon taking one more look, Mr.
Indian flew into a rage, grabbed liis
squaw by the shoulders, shook her
violently-, and dragged her out of
the place, saying she was bewitch

until she learned to stand on her

Every year a certain proportion
of the children of the London board
schools enter into a competitive
examination in Scriptural knowl
edge for prizes, which consist of
handsomely bound Bibles and Tes
taments. The competitors writean-

following specimens of their work
illustrate that one result of the
cramming process is to make “hash’
of the children’s knowledge:
“Abraham was the father of Lot,
and had two wives. One was called
Hishmale and to the, Haggar, he
kept wun at home, and he turned
tother into the desert, where she
became a pillow of salt in the day-
timi, and a pillow of fire by night.”
Another on Joseph:
“Joseph wore a koat of many gar
ments. He was chief butler to Faro
and told in dreams. He married
Pontiffers dortor, aud he led the
Giphans out of bondage and died in
sight ot the promised land.”
This was offered on Moses:

’’ _of four little daughters. The
youngest is a nursing babe, and the
eldest a girl of fourteen; hut the
latter is asked to do no more than
Ihe former, and is indeed no more
good, no more aid to her mother. Of
:ourse it is the mother’s fault. Her
child has always been allowed to
use her time as she sees fit. She
does not even make her own bed;
never wipes or washes a dish; does
not even comb her own hair, or that
of ihe younger ones. During vaca
tion , as soon as breakfast is over,
she takes her book and saunters out
to the hammock, and there lies and
reads till dinner time, visits when
she pleases,brings home compan
ions for over night, but never offers
to aid in the bearing of the fearful
burden of such a family—how fear
ful only the mothei knows.
To be the mother of such a family,
either with servants or without (and
this family can offord no servants)
i3 to make of her a perfect slave.
Make the burden as light as possi
ble, it must still be very heavy.

when done all by just one pair, it
becomes appalling.
No wonder mother is pale and ill,
and fast growing old. You may,
perhaps, begin to be ashamed of
mother, because of her looking so
old, and because of her ignorance.
Bui how can she look fresh, when
every moment she is working for
you? How can she be learned,
when she can obtain not one mo
ment for reading or for seif-eui-
provement? Go to work y-ourseif,

of the burdens from her shoulders,

Underclothing.
Says Dr. Wm. A. Hammond,
“The chief object of underclothing
is the retention of the natural heat
of the body in such a way that low
temperature and sudden changes
will not affect the surface. Sever
al years ago I performed some ex
periments which went to show be-
voud any doubt that silk is below
wool in its power to prevent the
loss of heat from the body, and very
little superior to cotton. Indeed,
nothing is in this respect, preferable
to wool, aud ot this material all un
derwear meant for winter nse
should be made. In summer a mix
ture of wool and cotton, called me
rino, may be worn, but even in very-
hot weather silk is not desirable, for
it is not such a ready absorber of
the perspiration as wool, and allows

cases the cause is removable, while
the effect may be counteracted by
appropriate treatment. Nothing is
more mischievous, however, than to
continue the habits and to have re
course to drugs to combat the ef
fects. A due amount of exercise
tends to induce normal sleep, and

Monkeys At Worship.
A few days ago when Rev. Dr
Chamberlain, brother of Secretaiy
Chamberlain, of the Board ot Agri-
rulture, was visiting in this city, l.e
• >ld many interesting anecdotes of
his missionary life in India. Among
them was tiie following:
Dr. Chamberlain and Mr. Scud-
(ler were on a tour of a certain por
tion of India, preaching at the small
villages through which they passed.
They would attract the attention of
tiie natives by singing a hymn, and
then would talk to them, generally
using some simple theme from the
Scriptures. One day when they had
itopped in a large village, they had
collected the people about them.
In the rear was a sacred grove, the
branches of tiie trees hanging
down over the huts that stood in
the background. The Scripture les
son had been finished, the hymn
sung, and Mr. Scudder was devoutly
praying when suddenly the houghs
of the grove began to rustle and a
troop of monkeys appeared. No one
saw them except Dr. Chamberlain.
Old monkeys and young, gray-
whiskered and bald-headed moth
ers with their baby monklings, all
descended and seated themselvse in
a semi-circle. All paid the strictest
attention to the prayer. Should any
mischievous youngster begin his
monkeyshines, one of the dignified
old men monkeys would twist his
ear uutil the little one would cease
his pranks; and if one of the babies
began to snivel, a few maternal pats
quieted him.
Dr. Chamberlain could scarcely
restrain himself at the comical
sight, and it was a great relief to
him when the assembly broke up.
As the people arose to go, so did the
monkeys, and they silently disap
peared in the branches, veidentiy
much impressed with the service.—

Changed His Opinion.
Modest people and those lacking
in self-confidence sometimes find
that they are quite equal to the
situations in which they may be
placed, and that their apprehensions
were groundless.
A modest and rather timid young
candidate wa.s elected an assembly
man in a pioneer State many years
ago. While gratified with the hon
or, he was frightend at the thought
of associating with the prominent
and cultivated men he supposed
were the legislators of his State. He
felt sure his one talent would be
wholly overshadowed by the great
er intellects about him
Taking his seat in fear and trem
bling, on his first day in the assem
bly he was put at ease in a few
moments, by the following state
ment made by one of the supposed
“greater intellects” of the House:
“Mr. Speaker,” said an assembly
man, “there are no ink in the ink-
stands.”
The young man w is amazed. “Is
this tne kind of people they send
here ?” he exclaimed mentally.
Up rose antoher assemblyman,
since famous, and known all over
the country.
“Mr. Speaker,” he said, “there are
ink, but it are frozen in the bottles.”
The “are ink,” and “are froze”
were all the timid young man
needed to bring his idols from their
pedestals, and put liis timidity aud
self-depreciation to fight.
