COMPLETE MARRIAGE.
The following wise words of Theodore
Parker, on "Complete Marriage,” deserve
repetition:
"Mori and women, end especially
young people, do not know that it takes
years lo .mm ry completely two hearts,
even of the most loving and well-sorted!
But nature ullxwh no sudden change.
Wv sl 'pe very gradually from the cra
dle to the summit of life. Marriage is
gradual, a frucliun «>f us at a time, A
1 apj.y wedlock is a long.falling in love,
I know y ting persons think love only
h* longs to brown hair and plump, round
crimson cccks. So it and cs for its be
ginning, just a« Ml. Washington begins
at Boston Bay. But the golden mar
riage is a part of lore which the bridal
(t»v knows nothing of. Y**uth is the
lass I and silken flower ol love; ago is
the lull corn, ripe and solid in the ear.
Beautiful is the m >;nmg of love, with its i
prophetic ci ins sou violet, purple and gold; I
with its ln*peH of days timt are to come.

“Young people marry their opposites
in temper and general character, uinl

young man dim not sav, “My black

and reserve.” VVlien lliesu opposites

Every individual in society ia expect*
id to contribute something to its ad-
Viiuccniciit and intorcat. YVc remember
to have read, yearn ago. of » company of
traileamcn who had united themaelve*
i into a mutual benefit society, and each
one had to relate wliat he could contrib
ute to its support.
aFirst, lire blacksmith camo forward
slid said :
‘Gentlemen, I wish to becuino a mem
ber of your association.’
•Well, what can you do?’
’Oi), I can iron your carriage., shoo
ymir liorses, and make all kinds of im
plements.’
’Very well, come in, Mr. IHacksmith. ’
The mason applied fur admission into
the society.
'Anil what Can yon do?’
‘I can huild your barns, houses, sta
bles and bridges.’
*Veiy well, come in; we cannot do
witti-iut you . ’
Along conn's (lie shoemaker and says:
'I wish to bttcotne a member of jour
! society.’
‘Well, what can yon do?’
‘I can make hoofs and shoes lor yon.*
'Gome in, Mr. Shoemaker, wo must
have yon.’
In turn, all the different trades and
professions applied, till lustly an indi
vidual catnr i.i who wanted to become a
member.
‘And what are yon?’
‘I am a ru in -seller, ’
V\ rum seller! and wliat cm yon do?’
‘I can build jails, and prisons, and
poor-houses.’
'And is that a!’?’
‘No; I can fill them. I can fill yonr
jails with criminals, yonr prisons with
convicts, and your poor-houses with
pilupers.’
‘And what else can yon do?’
‘I can brine- the gray hairs of tbe aged
to the grave with sorrow; 1 can break
the licni tol tho wife, ami blast the pro*-
peels of the friends of talont, and fill the
land with more than the plagues of
Egypt.’
Is that all yon can do?’
‘Good heavens!’ cries the rnm-seller;
‘is that not enough?’
