EARLY MARRIAGES.
Some perturbation seems to haw been caused-% the magistrate who broke a lance in favour of so-called improvident marriages, made at an early age. And whfen the greatness of this country was attributed to this fact, elderly people were frankly puzzled. Yet the association of early marriages with * nation's prqgress does not seem iir the ieart far-fetched, says the London "Dtfly Chronicle/* For the young people wlu> are impatient to get married have generally the impulse to get on in the world. They are imbued with the pioneer's spirit, and alert to make a name and" a place for themselves in the world. Moreover, they possess the necessary percentage of "hardness" in their character that wiU enable them rough it and rids rough-shod over difficulties. They are different from the prudent folk who will not venture to marry without a substantial bank balance and a pretty safe job, as things go; and whose natpje* have become habituated to a more'sheltered'life. In the making and building up of a nation it is not difficult to pay which have the larger share.
