It could not .be for youth a ,thity to weigh the pounds, shillings, and pence that went to make a so.oalled happy marriage. Such reckonings in the young can only be proofs of ' a selfish nature, anxious for increased means to satisfy personal cravings; and What then could I think of a system- which reduced matrimony to a barter of selfish indulgences?.
