"Almost all young people," saysallrock. lyn pastor "expect at somo time to marry." It Is not absolutely necessary that they should marry, but, a& a matter of fact, they almost all do. It is Important, then, that they should consider such a subject as this. Tho trouble nowadays with marnago Is that it is too often based on more sentiment. If It wore made, as It ought to be, a subjoct of reflection, and proper wisdom were exorcised, tho number of ill-assorted marriages would bo greatly reduced and wedlock would be come what God meant it to bo the spring of perpetual comfort and joy. If young ladles valuo their present and eternal Interests as they ought, thoy will strlvsto be, when mar riage comes, the right sort of wives. If young men would save themselves from llfn's worst burdens and troubles, they will bo careful to select the right sort of wives. "It is to bo feared that a great many eo ple regird as the right sort of a wife u woman who possesses beauty or accomplishments or money. Now, those things aiowell enough as far as thoy go.

Crugor has been for years a leader of Now York society, and hns sm-nt a couple of win ters at some of tho most famous courts of Kuropo, and whllo yet a very young woman has enjoyed tho richest experlcncea of life. The Now York World, publishing a three column nrtlce, gives tho following Interest ing factsregurdlng horllfo: 'Million Gordon," whom all now know Is Mrs. Van llenssalaer Cruger, has long been a leader In fashionable society, and has been as much noted for her cleverness and brilliant repartee, for her var ed rending, for wide knowledge of men, women and things, ns for her elegance In all the details of fashiuliahlo life. Those who know her iersonally nro not surprised nt tho really excellent qualities of her literary work, but thoso who know of her only as a woman of fashion nro surprised at her jmw ers in this Hold. Mrs. Cruger's mother, Mrs. Htorrow, was Miss Purls, tho favorite nieco of Washington Irving, who gave her away when she was married at Hunnysldo, and elnsiied a diamond on her neck which has de scended to Mrs. Cruger.
