Mosf. Skinner on Love and- Matrimony. — Most everybody falls sn love in course of a iifetime. Some makes a pretty bad fall of it, and are lamed for life, and others have a soft and lovely fall, which feels so good that they keep falling in farther and farther till they get married ; then they begin to fall out. When a couple became engi^ed they spurn all the vanities of this wo'-ld, and associate witd hea^ls of families. They don't indulge in anything heavier than a sewiii_-cirel«\ or nossil>ly a select reading from a cookery, biok. The young Indy p*ifs nn a very austere look, and has r^a* - . compag ion for all her acquaintances who ant got any bean ; but still she feels that life is earnest, life is resl, and it won't, do for her to show any weakness. He thinkn how sur^lv he must have pined away and died if she hadn't tur el up jiißt as she did, and s_t3 indulges in ho rihle reflections as to whit must have hoen her fate if she had been born. You can aenerallv tell by seeing a couple together about how they stand, If they walk arm-in-a»-m, looking unutterable things into each other's eyes, and with a snrt of partnership air, they are ongaged, If the man looks a little indifferent, and Hie woman clings eagerly to him and watch e< him jealously, they have been married a'>onfc »ix weeks. If the man walks, along scowling t »rionsly, and dragging his wife about th-ee feet behind him, they have been married from four to ei'jht yeas. After thfcfc yon don't nee much of them, for they are at home, busily en^ra*ed in solving the conundrum, '" How in thunder did you and I evee conic tog »ther ?'*
