THE MARRIAGE BELLS.
'The St. Paul Globe says: Young

raatrimony,shiyering like a mouse

-xiicreat majority , oi you
know where you can put your

You are not men! You are sim
ple cowardi, who set apprize

have not tho moral courage to as

enough and strong . enough to
pluck it. My advice to you is, if
you have ajoband earning fair
wages to get married and go to
housekeeping if yon have to be

and a lounge. This jnay ssem to
you to be a small beginning, and

CHARACTElt OF IMMIGRATIOX;
Ot the immigrants nearly nine
tenths are ndw'unskilled laborers,
and that has probably been the case
from the.begiuning of the activity
of iramigratibn.Between 1872 antl
1887, out of a total of r5,396,416,
only 587,349. were skilled labor
ers, and nearly one-half, or 2,
596,188, were without occupation;
the1 great 'part .coming; here to
pick up such work asthoy could
at such prices as were obtainable.
It is apparent, therelore, howjn
superable are the obstacles tothe
maintenance of ai standard of
wages for unskilled' labor satisfaq-,
