THE AGED GROOM AND YOUIHFUL BRIDE,

A Bridegroom of' Seve,ty-F'ive Years
Gives His Views on Matrimony.
Among the telegrams of congratula
S tion recoived by Gen. and Mrs. Long
street. upon the occasion of their mar
ringe was one from the New York
World, which invited the "young hero
who begins life at 80" to give his views
of marriage, and how hoe approached
the nuptial altar upon this occasion.
As soon as Gen. l.ungstrcct found
timle ho complied with the World's
request, andL teigraphed the foloving
reply :
" To the World : Accepting the kind
compliments of the World upon, this,
the occasion of my happy marriage to
one of the umost charming ladies of
Georgia, permit me to cxpre,ss to you
my appreciation of America's greatest
newspaper.t
"' People have been marrying ever
since the world began. In fact, if w(
read the Bible record a"ight Adam did
not know his ago when the Almighty '
fashioned for him the helpneet, who
was, later on, to play such anl i:nl por
taut part in the worid. Youth is a re
lative term, and is not correctly ex
Xpressed by-years. The young hwart b
often the creation of years of sorrow
preceding, and the sunlit face u the
man of '75 i more suggestive of thl
perconial youth that makes men at,
tractive than the frowning visage o
20, which speak:, of discontent anl un
rest.. I have oft,en, as your congratu
tion suggests, been struck wit,n the
epigram of Iolmlles that he was "so
years young.'
"The counting of ane is often all
matter of point of view. The yuuth
first counting his years, which proceed
from nothing, esteems hin elf i o:uig
because they are few. The man o
many yeats might .ually aucouni
himself young because unis renmlaindei
is cqually few. As t experienco the
influence of this happy day I a-k my
self if 1 am real:y old, or anm I just I,
ginning to be young Y There is ti.e.
behind me, I know, much of which
has been wasted b.ecause its giving i
was prodigal. There are glorlou.. t
years ahead of me which I can ap
preciate becaus3 I have at last learned I
their valuc. I think, and feel ano t
enjoy. God has blessed my later year c
with a presence and an undtrsunding y
which have multiplied their value ant lh
rendered their oxistence a plLa-,ure. ,
As I have grown from decade to t
decade I have seen the growth and (
neveiilopmet, of a .'am33ily wheb loved~ '
and cherished. .11i the order of Pro. 0

remain in the ol house, with but the i
pictures to look at or an occasional u
letter to read fron an a';sct eU. i
I feel lonely because of the want of v
companny, but, excuse Imle, I. do not foul w
old' There is too nlucit bounding of (
the pulse, too strong a punmpi .g of th.. h
heart, too great a wealth of atlection, W
to allow of mc drying up like an old o

" W hatt then was more natur;l tiharn rr
that I should put ny houise in orde!r, rh
pay renewed attention to my toilet it
and tvander out to see what kind of an n

pretty face and was attracted; I sought t

and found that love was twinklIng
there. I, of course, hesitated to press t
myQ' suit until I felt assured, anl surely,
thought .1 to my3self, if she thinks mer
joung what needl have .1 to carne what<
others thinke? During the years that :
are left to m11 1 can bie to her such a
husband that not all the y'oun)g men in I
Clhristendom could ccqual, and the
nmcmnry which she will carry diown a

sweet dream to be treasured and trans
muitted to children's children.
4What does a woman gain by mar- .i
riago y Alh, 'there is -a question to 2
which dliverse arnsweres mig ht be given.
How often. the y'oung woman mlarries -v
her eq ui in years to find hierselIf 1bu3t t
the companion-slave, whesu value is v
reckoned by tile work she does. The a
'other day a (li-tinguished Georgia t,
lady, Mrs. "cn ton, in ann add ress before t
the - ar mers' Convention, picture i'ali
such a wife, ground down by exaction, o
uncheered by a sIngle, word of ap- dl
p)reciation, who, after years of toil and tI
striving, dIes, and then to ho for the e
first time appreciated. I inake tine ii
argument that there should be dis- ri
parity in years, .but riot of youth, be g
tweon husband and w i f. Th'le man of K
experience who hais been through the hi
wor'ld, who hits rubbed againist, its s
rough edges, has had his obsti nary yi
subdIued, his powen's of consideratene~s n
onlan'ged and his quality of apprecha- hn
tion' so relined that, ho can feel ant' rc- ti
snfd to those delicate longings which c
arc implanted in the female breast. tF
"The man who, In the crowning h
y'ears oif his life, takes to wife a fain'
young girl, invites her, niot only to tile a
