WHEN SHOULD OUR YOUNG WOMEN MARRY.
Not when a suitor, with boast ofhia gold. At the maiden's feet lays hia -wealth untold. And for money her heart -would barter ; Though tbe base and the worldly urge her to wed, liet her laugh and acorn to the words that are said, And decline to be made a martyr. Not when a title is laid at her feet— Though rant and station to women are sweet— If 'Us only an erupty glory ; UniPSB there is worth with a coronet, Xiet her bide her time, and her true love yet Will toll her the " old, sweet story." Not when the praise of beauty is sung By deceitful Iip8 and a flattering tongue— Ah ! 'tis danger ona Joner to listen— 3>t her wait awhile, and 'twill be no loss. Till she can dissever the go'd from the droas, However the dros3 m»y glisten. When she can freely pivpi hand and heart To the one Bhe loves, till death them part, Then no more let the maiden tarry, B? it Bunny or dark in the sky above, The path of her life will be lit with lovo. And not umil then let her marry. -WlffB.
