"The 8ubject Still Open for Further Discussion, A PLEA FOR MARRIAGE POATIONS, To the Edstor of T'he Chicano Tvibune : Cuicago, Aug, 27.—The six bacholors who are interested in this correspondence have road with interest your orticlo, ** Young Mon and Young Women," fn last Sunday’s issue, and take advantage of your offer by sonding you this commuuieation, We rauge in ago from 23 to 40 yoars, aro sll fen of cducation and rotinemant, of practical businces as well as social exporienco, and repro- sont by birth partly the Amorican and partly the QGerman pationality, Though somo of us havo an independent tation in commercial life, whilo tho rest ara still subject to tho dictates of a boss, none of us liavo beeu ablo to Iny up any great amount of earthly treasurcs. Tho income of tho most succesaful of us does not exceod $2,000 per annum, whilo thet of soma of tho others falla considerally shortof that sum, Whon the yoar is around tho balances ste about the samo; that s, none of us haa saved but & fow dollars, Wo cannot call oursclves ex- travagant, Our positions demand that we live in o way bocoming gentlemen; to dress| oll, witbout befog oxtravagant; to go to theatres and concorts occaslopally, as wo Lave a natural tasto for such amusemonta and can appreciato them. A small proportion of our earnings gocs to tho eupport of cigar storos. As statod before, we are mnot oxtravagant, yet our savinge-bank sccount increases verv stowly. Wo havo often msked ourselves, Why is it that other young mea with about the samo income, who havo always lived 1o a cimilar style to us, can afford to get married after usingall thoy earned for their own support? What have they got left for the aupport of their wivesand a subsequent lucreazo of + family? Closo observation has taught ue tbat thero are two WAYS to makeo thivga convenfent. Fither tha man s of auch a self- sacrificing natui. that ho gives up his occasional resort to theatres and concorts, his cipars, ete., in order {o bo able tocomply with all the wishes, domands, and necessitics of his wife, or Lo lives in tho old stylo, aud yuna himself in debt to s sccommodating friends, of whom one is perhaps a dry-goods mab, the otber s furniture man, the third a buteber, or porhaps a hetel-keoper, with whom Le bomds, It ho takos the Iattor conrso, Le will ploaso tho wife exceedingly until things become oo longer a secrot to ber. Then tho trouble begins, 1f ho purstos tho Hrst-montioued courso, ho soon finds out that the sacrifices bo has made 8o willingly at first ho can't enduro very long without foeling that his condition is much wordo than before,— that e shouldered a burdon which is too heavy tor bim.

Capitn), hohad none, to make himself in- dopondent by estavlishing bis own business, and, should o possosy a fow hundrod dollars, with sufliclent pluck to beg, the chances aro a8 much agalnst as for bitn. ‘Those men who pursue the middle way, meaning thereby those fow that got along without running iuto debt ar without feeling discontentod, aie an oxcoptional claes, with Jittle forothought for tha futuroe, sod vory limited aspirations, Thoy ayo satistied to live, without Baving anything for tho future. Now, our opinion is mado up in his mattor. If any of us, in our present circumetances, should moet with a young lsdy of refiucmont,— 1p sbort, a youdg lady he could love, and no- tice that love reciprdeated, he wonld marry hor only in case her parents would bo willing to %l‘vc ber or him an amount of monoy which would eusble bhin to establisa bimself In business. Slould the pareuts of the young lady bo as poor os tho prospectivo son-in-law, then ho will havo solf- pouseseion to subdue hia love, for the reason that poor peoplo have no business to got married. This money mattor ia soldom talked of to rich men who have marriageable daughtors, and uo- til tho subjoct 18 usmpuhz ouough 0 it can bo oponly spproached without fear of helug sidi- culed, so long will wo soo numberloss young mon of tho bont class, aud calculated to’make good husbands, in thoir blessed stato of bnflw olordom.

A SUCCESSFUL MATRIMONIAL EXPERINENT, To the Lditor of The Chicano F'ribune Crircago, Aug. 26.—* Notbing succeedn like success,” 1 nover wrote an articla for the prean, bue I think I have successfully for mysoll, at least, solved tho quoation of malrimony amoog tho middle classes—whera the mont of tho best people are found. Icame from New England whaon [ wan 21 yeara old, to seek my fortone, I had a very moderate education, but bad indus- trions habits. Ialso bad tho habit of smcking, chowing, and of occasionslly taking a glass of beor, N I obtalned a situntion aa clork at #15 per weok. Afterward Ixecoived $20 and £22 per woek, At theend of six yoars I hsd maved just £50. I was lonely. I spent my ovenings with the * boys," and cccaslonally fiirted with the girls st church festivals, ete., but could wot think of matrimony—at lesst in fashionablo circles—for my whole salary would not moro than buy ono fino drees and pay one week's board. 1 fortunately met s sewing-girl, as pretty and swoct a & peach. (Aud hore, boys, let me tell vou that emong this class of girls who support themsolves you will fiud truer ladics in heart and practice, and all that goes to malio a truo woman, who will stand by & man in adversity as welf a8 fo propority, thav anywhere olse.) Woll, to make n long story short, sfter looking at the subject ot all sidas, as well as 1 conld, and anking the advice of my fricnds, some of whom comforted ma by saying 1 was a fool to thiok of such & macriage, I gave up tha {dea about twenty times, and tually L ventured.

A DEFENSE OF THE GIRLS, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribuna ; Cuicavo, Aug. 26.—DBofore tho subject of “why young people do mot marry " is dropped or grown so woarisome ag to be excinded from your columos, I want to ba allowed to say some words in beusll of the girls—and they are do- cidedly to the ‘‘boys” Now, 1'am a girl, and in the matrimonial market, and when the right ono prosonts himself suall esy yos with~ out the slightost regard to thestato of bis financos. Thero ia too much blame thrown upon ms, by writors in geuera), aud by boys especially—for not marrying. ‘Ihe main difii- culty boing the exponse, and oxtravagant notions of tho girls nowadays, they say. Now I can prove that girls are not ono-halt g0 extravagant agboys. There aro few young men, even thoso at work for small ealaries, who do not smoke or use tabaoco io some form, who do not drink occasionally, or piay billiards, or play games where money, more or loss, i required ; atlond placos of mmuspment, indulgo in numberless ploasures snd extravagaut faucies that like * Rip's“—they ‘*don't count.” And o ail these {udulgzencos tho girle have no ploasure,—thoir very oxclusion s part of the plessuro,—snd I will add that we do uot wish to share or countenanco such oxtrava- gance. A poor mrbo'm spond 25 conts for cigars, say & dozen tinfks in threo mounths, and that I8 8 low estimate, and the &3 involved in hat pleasuro are thrown away, forgotton, A poor girl will spend 83 for muterials for a hat, mako it horself 80 it will be stylish and becom- ing, too, and g0 make the mouey of some ma- toris! benofit. 0 Ask s young man what hie wants in a wifo, and ho will go through s wholo catalogue of virtues and accomplishments ; aud does he stop to con- sidor whether Lie can give in returu as much as ha requires?

If youug wmen will sook wives among & silly, shaliow, fashionable sot of young ladies, whose only thoughis are of dress, and to marry some gay feliow, they will always tind that monoy is the sole requireniont— emphatically aud fuvariably the scle considora tion. I ballave, and kuow, that girls are purer, truer, more willing to rmake personsl sacriticod than men, and are absolutely more sconomical ; sud moreover are moars worthy 0 bo wives than ninelenths of bhs, if thero aro suggestions or. blamo 10 be given, begin where they aro moat needed, and don’t denounce tho girls” so indiscriminately —as oxtravagant, Magy, A SWEEPINQG CASTIGATION.

VIEWS OF A COUNTRY BACHELOR, To the Ecitor of The Chicaan Tribune ; Gnaxp Deroen, TlL., Aug. 25.—Noticing for & fow dnga past several articlen from correspond- ents on the marriage question, 1 havo been much interested, and concluded to throw in a few views of a bacholur in the country, especially on the question why mors young men do not marry. 1 am a young man of moderato means snd fair iucome for the country,~$400 to §1.000 per year,—but from what 1 could observe that would not do, 1 am afraid, to vonture on marriage with the young ladies of my acquaintance, and they have no great expoectations olther; but are con- sidéted accomplished and bright members of so- ciety, which means thoy can dsnce well, play the piano, and make themselves sgrecable. But aa I think something elso very necessary, I remain single. 1 know by experiouco Ican mave every year half my {ncome aud Jive comfortsbly, aresa respectably, go in soclety #s much as I want to, aud otherwise take recrestion, I'am very fond of company, and especially lively and intelligeat young ladics, and i min- gling moro or lesa with them, I bave noticed ono thing in particular : Youug ladics who have na- reuts in easy olrcumstauces, or at leas: woll enough off to give theirchildren a fair oducation, and often many accomphiahients, i nite casos out of ten it asked to go into the kitchen sud gat up a meal and putit ou the iabla in sbape, would Lave to call in the neighlorbood to tell them Low todo it What In thought of & young man who loxfa aragud doing notbing ? "1'll tell you ; Lusjuess men don't waut them for bolp at any price, for the resson that they don’t kuow lLow to do any- thiog, -And that is why young men who have their own way to makoe in the worid, and knowsthe way to do it is to save Bomething every yoar (sud uot put it all on their back for wome- body's elso admiration), don't marry girls who don’t know how to do anything ouly cnmp their Lisir and pisy protty. ‘The wondor is how 5o many get nlong that do marry. 1 aospect & goodly untnber of husbauds don’t pay their bonest debts. Co iuto any thrifty towo of 2,500 to 5,000 inhabitsuts, aud the youug ladion'of what is called * the best eocioty " you will flnd sasociale with clerks, youug profesetonsl mon, and the sons of wull- to-do citizens—which Is all 1ight. Btill they would be ashamed to be secon by these same young mon doing auything at botue. ‘What iy wanted is & clars of young 1adies who bLiavo intglligoucs, common souse, and are good Lousekacpers, Young adios often wander what thoro was about Miss A. to nitract the attontion of Mr. I3., and I suppose they will keep wonder- ing until perhaps some day she may call on what uscd to be Miss A. and discover in the looks of the house : and if sho be so fortunate a4 to stay to ton sha can see withony spectacles, perbaps, sonie things that caught tho attention of Mr. B, Next. Yours truly, LcoNoxr. A DARK OUTLOOK. To the Editor of The Chicaco 1ribune: < Cuicago, Aug. 2i.—Tue Tumcye having lo- vited the boys and girls to discuss the marriage question throngh its columus, a fow thoughta are herowith prosented. It occurs to tho eub- scriber that marrisge amoog wen and wowen of modorate means has becomo imoracticablo or hazardous. In faci—from tho financial stand- point—a young mau who undertakes to increaso hils happinees through that closer allianco with his sweathioart on a capital of lees that §7,000 or £8,000, unless his * girl ™ is capable of Leip= ing Lim to varn money, or otherwise repair tho waste of his capital, will find marned life rather up-bill busiwess, as thiogs are now organized. Allowance is hore made for tho comronsating featuro of roal love hetween the arties—thet love woich is tho fulfilling of the aw, as it were, DBut 1t seems to be a sori of ne- cossity in thess modern times for mop 0 work the daylight out of themsolves, and thes dimin- ish thete capaclly for loviog and bowmg loved, and all the while deteriorate in matersl wealth, There is somethbing steadily pulling back and axhsusting the meuns of young wen i the pres- nx:’guulem of things, and it s found tbat the older cltizens of our country are, on the othor hand, iucreasing their capital, aud for the most part they aro married aud live in comparative eaze. .
