GROWING ALIKE.
It may be in one sense pleasant to believe —with a learned lady who has recently discoursed on tho harmonies of marriage—that married people " grpw like one another," tho longer they live together. If they did so, they would in time harmonise so completely that we should never overhear those dissonances that too often weary us when our married friends confide in us, or in the law courts. That would be the effect of a rapproachement of character ; a moral resemblance. Would it. bo as encouraging to think that the likeness extended to mere physical feature ? We cannot answer until science informs us in which direction the harmony line would move. For often, as we know, the plain man gets accepted, inexplicably, by tho beautiful woman; and we wish him luck Would she ever accept him if she had reason to believe that she would grow to resemble him by the timo their silver wedding came round'!
