PUNGITS ADVICE. Though in the history of tho Universo my came first, in the history of marriage woman fends tho way, trading with wonderful coolness the difficult path along the site of which the figures of the Registrar General's report stand as so many warnings. Read- ing them, we find that there were fivo marriages in which ladies who wore more than thirty-fire years of age were united, to bride- grooms under twonty and live in which the bridos were mudur. eighton and the mon over fifty. On the other hand mic woman of seventy sumors married a man of forty, while a girl of twenty- one made a Benodict of seventy- two. If May and Decembeg eine Lugether in those cases, tlit snows of winter wore united where in octogenarian bellor, wedded 60ptuagenarian spinster. These instances of individual horoisní may point a moral. upon the in- ingrained amativeness of humani ty, but they are scarcely adornment to any record of the race, though it is a pity, perhaps, that the subsequent history of theso alliances cannot be trace. As a rule, however, a study of the determining causes of any given marrings would not repay the trouble that tho, task would imposo. In the main, curiosity propels both men and women to the altar, but it is one of Life's littleironies that so many mistakes aro,made before it that it stands as a place of sacrifies for all. Jumanity
