hut the point to bo determined is
whore childhood ceases and girlhood
commences, also when girlhood ceases and
wosaanhood begins. Thl* la a question hard
to decide; some children and girls mature so
ranch earlier than other*, owing In a great
measurer to education, and also to the circum
stances by which they Are'- surrounded. We
propose to give our young friends the view of
eome of onr best female writers on thle subject
before we venture to give- our own. Helen
Cambell says: "As a rule,, no man Is ft for
marriage before thirty, and no woman before
twenty-five. The girl who hat dreamed of
lovers since ahe could while' alone, and who
marries at seventeen of eighteen has hod no
dlaclpllno to form character or make her In
the faintest degree ready for the ordeal of
marriage. Illusion ends qofckly and no deep
reality la thereto take its place. Not always
can flowers, pearls, poetry protestations, nor
even a homo Jn another heart, oootent the seal
that dwells in clgy.” Mary L. Booth, editress
of Harper’s Baaar, says: "Circumstance* being
equal, no gWl should many until ahe la frilly
mature In body :*Bd mind with tastes suffi
ciently formed to enable her to make an Intel
ligent choice of tho companion of her future
life." She alto thinks It doatrablo that a girl
should have an opportunity of seeing some
thing of this world and partaking of tho
amusementr ef her age, ao that afterwards
she may have no regret*. Elizabeth F. Pea
body to still more practical, and says that
among tho bepplsst marriages she had known
intimately, “were those where the contracting
parties were both in middle life, or even put
it” LouisI*' H. Alcott ties from S3 to 25 u
themost suitable age for young women to marry
1 and "Ura. Henry Ward Beecher sees many
reasons why marriage of girla from 18 to 21
would seem to promise tho happiest union.

mother. There are very few mothers, even
though they may have married young them-

really try and believe they are acting for the

the selflah mother love that dreads to give up
the child or to see any of tho carts of lift
come upon her. And yet thou care* most
cams sooner or later, and If true devoted love

with patience and often made lighter by being
shared with e tone and loving husband. We
agree with Mrs. Bucher, end think from 18 to
31 the age, if a girl hu given the matter tori-
cnx consideration. She says habits and pocul-
iaritie^bave not become so fixed that it might
be a hard straggle for either to yield gracefully
their own wishes for the occasional gratifica
tion of the other. In early marriages then
would seem to be a "brighter promise of a
perfect nnion.” We do not cue to call
