.Mar5qge.-Look at the great mass Of marriages which take place over the whole world; what poor, contemptible common place affairs they are! A few soft looks walk a dance a squeeze of tlle hand a popping of the question; d purchasing of certain number of yards of white satin; ring; clergy man; a staye or two in q hired carriage; i; a night in a country inn; and the whole matter is over. For five or six weeks two sheepish looking persons are seen dangling about each others arm, look ing at waterfalls, or making morning calls, and guzzling wine and cake, thea every thing falls into the most monoton- #ous routine-the wife sits on one side of the hearth, the husband at the other, and little quarreIs, little pleasure, little cares, and little children, gradually ga- ther round them. This is what ninety nine out of a hundred find to be the de- lights of love and ndmatrimony.
