" No: I would not exchange pla

A quaint Yankee preacher once said that ladies
were timid : they were afraid to sing when they
were asked ; afraid of taking cold ;. afraid of snails
or spiders but he never knew one who was afraid
to be married. Possibly the sex will reject that
as a libel upon them, yet it certainly has a founda
tion in truth and nature. Marriage enters more
into the calu'.ati ns of women than men. It appears
a greater event in their lives. It rounds their
destiny. Men get independent without taking upon
themselves family cares. Women, till at least a
later period of life, continue to be dependents upon
the family circle, if single. There are exceptions,
but' that is mostly the case, and it is very natural
tlinr t.hev should wish to be suns in a system of
their own rather than minor satellite, of the paren
tal home. Besides, io the earnest and sincere-,
marriage is necessary, as tiie avenue to the htalthy
exercise of those-affections which go to make up
so much of woman's nature, and which are in other
conditions left to stagnate, often into disease. And
for the giddy, the vanity of being married is a suf
ficient inducement to look out tor a inatcn.

They cannot sponge on the scanty resources of

The governess market and the 44 companion " oc
cupation are already -overcrowded by poor, under
paid ladies. Their pride revolts from household,
service. The life of the needlewoman, with its
starvation ami exposure jto temptation, is the ave
nue to something worse. What must thev dc?
They must marry if they can. Weil, or what
the world calls well, if possible, if not, badly.

So far from marriages of " convenience," then,
being confined to the upper classes of society, we
see that they run through the middle section ; and
if we go lower down we shall find the same caus
es and effects at work, j Lady Velvet, Miss Dimple
and Polly, the housemaid, are' equally desirous of
being settled in tne world, lhe reasons wiiy are
nearly the same in kind, though different in de
gree. They act with perhaps the most force on
the less cultivated world. At bottom the nature
is the same, spite of the" aristocratic languor of the
one, the "the accomplishments" of the second,
and the rough hands of the third. They- all want
to be married as well as possible, but at all events
to be married. - Thev desire more freedom from
domestic restraint a position of some kind in the
world, and a settled source from which will be sup
plied the wants of life in fact, an establishment."
Do you think Polly feels these .longings lees than
'.either, of her more refined compeers No indeed?

We must not be suspected of j"king, or of: a ten
dency to satire, when we say that the disinclination
is not upon the side of the ladies. As we examine
the subject, that will turn out to be in their praise..
The hanging back is upon the part of the men, and
some of the motives are not iniuh to their credit,
because they are sHfi-h ones. A medical writer in
the Lancet has lately said tint it is to be ascribed
to' the progress of civilization, as the world becomes
more refined, men get more selfish. Tlu-y want to
" keep up appearances," and that costs something-.
They want ail they can get for themselves, 1 hey
must have good clothes, and jewelry, it k be only
mosaic, they must go to ine ineaue wuifuinw ,
and there are other con equent outlets for money
not. to be hinted at. They prefer these things, and
a so'itary two-pair back at Islington or Camberwell
to the cares and expenses of home. They say,
when they put on their hats that their family is
covered and other selfish things. A blooming
wife and laughing children are in their catalogue
not of comforts but of dangerous expenses. They
feel that marriage, isi a serious, ceremony in more
ways than one. It is not only an obligation to
love and honor, fcc, but to furnish a house and pay
bakers' bills. That, too, civilization has made more
difficult. The appearances to be kept up are more
:onerous than they used to be. The Jacks and Jills
of middle life are' not to-day what they were in the
times of our forefathers. They can no longer be-

This is only half the truth. Besides the men
ho will not marry from selfish, or, if you please,
prudential (that is the prettier term) motives, there
are others who cannot marry. The monasteries of
other times made a great many celibates, but the.
commercial celibacy of the present is far more ex
tensive. There are more linen-drapers' shopmen
and milliners' apprentices and workmen alone, to
say nothing of other classes than there were monks
and nuns in the " merry days of yore." They do
not take vows not to marry, it is true, but they
are bound to solitariness by necessity under awtul
penalties. ' .

She at present rejoices in her magnificent income

it hard enough to make it do.

must grow old by -and by, iind then the stupendous
8 a year will fail even if she cannot continue to
command that while young. What is she to do ?
Of course, she, like her bettersmust marry. She
does not expect a carriage or a drawing room. She
can put up with two rooms, or even one ; and
wooden chairs,, oak table, and French bed-stead
will do. The bakei's and the butcher's man can
command that. Or K, 1024, who looks down the
area, can manage it, unless, as Polly says "he's a
supernumery, and they keeps them in barracks."
Mr. Timothy Pipeclay, the soldier, can get her the
washinor of his company, and contrive a home
somehow. We are c nvinc d that the marriages

turn passag s which will exist into an illegitimate
direction to nourish error and suffering. JThe
remedies are a better mental and moral training
for the mass, and a wider and mote real prosperity.

men and women for scrambles for establishment.
