The Nude In Wall Street. Anthony Comstock. ot ! the Societj' for the Suppression of Vice , created a bi sensation jn the vicinity of the stock ex change yesterday by raiding several sa loons that displayed on their walls pic tures that lie * claims are of an ob.seono character. Ho seized a number of pic tures in two or three saloons and visited other planes whoso nroprlotors having been warned hadremoved their pictures from the walls and r-onconled them. The action of Mr. Comstoek aroused the in dignation of not only tlio proprietor. ? of tin ) saloons , but also of some ot the brokers who frequent the placer" . A prominent member of the consolidated stock exchange accosted Mr. Comstock in ono of the saloons ami asked him why ho was seining the pictures. "Becauso. " answered Mr , Comstock , "they como within the statute referring to obscene pictures. " "Well then , " inquired thu broker , "why don't you seine * . Bouj noreau'.s picture - uro of 'Nympsand Satyr' in Iho Ilotl'inan house bar-room. " "Because , " answered Mr. Comstock , that is an original work of art. " "And these pictures you are responded the other , "aro copied or on Cravings of original works of art , and you make a distinction between the two and seine the poor man's pictures and let the rich man'.s han on his wall in the sight of all who cheese to look. " 7'I don't oaro to discuss that question with you , " said Mr , Comstook. Shortly after the raids one of the po lice commissioners entered a Now street naloon and vigorously denounced Mr , Comstock's action. "But there is ne : help for it , " ho said. "Comstoek is backed by the law , but this raid seems to bo nn injustice.

Of beardless youths mil silly school irls who have "married in haitc to repent at leisure , " their name 's legion. And yet tlie record of con- mbial misery endured by tho.io who have leferred matrimonial vi'iitnrcs until the 'hcydey of the blood i tamo' " is an ai > - ) alimjc ! one. The tillage that "there is no 'ool like an old fool , " is verified every lay in the divorce courts. Widowers mil widows , both genuine ! and "grass , " ivho are old enough and who have had jxperioneo enough to "know better , " riro constantly plunging anew into the sea of wedlock from which deatii or the ujv ha. ? released thorn , with the blindest lisregard of the risks and perils involved. The .survivor of a counle of wives is , as a ulc , the veriest gudgeon that exposes imsclf to the matrimonial market. Widows are proverbially tlie mo.t susceptible " ceptible ot their .sex , and "tho easiest prey for fortune tellers and adventurers. No satisfactory explanations of those phe nomena has over been presented , but of course they must be referable to some : iatural law , whoso operations , were th'jy mderstood. might porhap account for nueh beside of human folly that now | ) u//.les mankind' poor wits .so sorely. Doubtle-s , if accurate data were aecos- sible , it would be found that the proportion tion of unhappy to happy marriages does not vary so greatly between those con tracted eariy in life and those that are formed in maturer years. There arcs no statistics in tlie census reports or other ollicial publications upon this important matter , and hence conclusions must bo drawn from observation and irom the testimony given by those v > ho e cxiiori- ; nco lias iiialilicd | thorn to throw light ipon the subject. To persons eontomplat- ng marriiigo who must always coiihti- ute a very largo clement of the popula- : ion the question is ono of vital interest. For their benefit the. Times reproduces from a wo.-tern journal the pathetic testi mony of a young man who evidently speaks from the "bottom of his heart.1' lie a > s : "Tlio simple subject of love and not so simple either when properly singed , and I think 1 have put in seven yong years as faithful as any ono over did at iho ago of IH years I thought I loved a girl , ago 17 , light hair and blue oyes. Wo were mar ried in Ib'D. id since we have found out our sad mistake , one child ago live years , hero is three lives made unhappy by a young marriage. I am well known in the eitv , but will not give my name at nvseiit , but merely ndvi e young folk to .m careful and save trr/iinlo / , for 1 have had my share of it I find that , ago 25 years is young enoutili to marry and live happy. " Hero , indeed , is a frightful example for the behoof of lads of 18 who may be la boring under the deliKsion that they Jove a girl "of 17 , light hair anil blue eyes. " For it is a delusion as they will surely discover in time. Whether the awaken ing comes sooner or later depends upon circumstances. If their hallucination ro- Hiilts in marriage it will probably como sooner. If not , it will come later. If their paths in lifo diverge it may bo de layed until the preMiiil , object of their affections , "fat , fair and forty , " once more crosses their fitups. Then , at least , there will boas little loft of their romantic fancies as of tlio vision of loveliness that lirst inspired them , The conclusion of the western youth that "tho ago of 2. ) is young enough to marry and live happy" is probably , on the whole , a sensible ono Doubtless in this , as in other important a II airs of life , it is bcit to avoid uxtremes , Hoys and girls certainly should not marry , and neither , as a rule , should old men and women. To vas > t multitudes of others , Punch's advice , "Don't.

Seven or eight years ago it occurred to him that u property ring , so to speak , would bo u convenience , and so ho bought one that had all tin * appear- unco ot gold. That it is really base metal ho regards as a mailer of no rein e- Hicnci ! to the brides who wear it for a moment. It is a ring nnd it is big enough for the. linge-r of any brido. When Mr. ( iroden bought this plain plated imitation we.dduur ring , ho said to iiimself that this circlet was likely to make a romantic hl-tpry teir itself , and so lie laid it away in his desk and kept a record of the number of times it was n ud and the names of the contracting parties whoso names were solemni/ed with this same ring. Marriages are teas- unably frequent at Ca tle Harden , and , iluring tlio se-ven or eight years that this ring has been in use , have averaged nearly one a week. A wedding on Wed nesday was the it , " ) 1th in lite history of the ring , ami the gilt has not yet worn oil' . Why Sim Married. 1'ittsburg Dispatch : "Why do I want. : o niarryv" seems te ) bo the all absorbing .henie of your ( j O.'s of recent date. If t will interest or bi > of any benolil , te ) the "Berthas" of to-day why li girl wanted to marry over fourteen years ago I , who personate this girl , will jot down thu reasons as they occurred to mo then : I'ossc'ssing original and strong ideas , and looking upon marriage as the consum mation of a vow that reached nearer the eternal future than any other u binding link that led to heaven , as it wore 1 felt that to marry the man of my choice would bi : to attain to that greater e\\eol- lonco of character ; to perfect a woman hood as vet very imperfect , to open new paths of usefulness and happiness to the rearing of one's oll'spring the binding tie of earthly marriage and the com mands of an All-wise IJeing for a noble lif < ; on earth , for a Christian death and a resurrection. These were my principal and exulted notions of the marriage res- lation.-'lnp. 1 wanted my love pure , free from dross ; and earthly appetite and Lcrutiliuutions subordinate to this ono idea of a life.timo. All other things I believed - lioved would follow : A happy homo ; a happy wifi ) ami mother ; a contented an.I loving father , who thinks that wil'o ami children are the only beloved objects on the face of thu globe , and whose love for thi'in is only next to love for ( ioel. Re ligion I wanted lirst in my home , for that was to mo tin ; rock upon which 1 hoped to build the Miperstriieture of the stately edilico. "Build me strong , noble Mas- tor1 would bo my unspoken prayer. Leaving iho exalted , or purely ideal , for moro practical thoughts ( although the above is not inipnu'Ucal ) , 1 will say that many u young girl has ten ohuiUT.s where another has only ono for learning imel'iil tilings , "Bertha , " scums to have full and plenty lo work on , and that is a grer-.t thing.

In minor matters it is of course univer sally admitted thai short men , as a rule , prefer tall women , v/hilo tall men admire little woincm , says the Fortnightly He- view. Dark pairs by preforencu with fair ; the commonplace often runs after the original. J'eoplo have long nolieiid that this attraction toward one's opposite tends to keep erne the .stand.1 of the nice ; thejy have not , perhaps , r generally observed that it also imlicH''o ; roughly the existence in either individual of a dcsiru for its own natural complement. It is dillicult hero to give detinltu examples - plos , but everybody knows how , in the subtile psychology of falling in love , there are involved innunicrnblo minor elements , physical and mental , which strike us exactly because of thejir abso lute adaption to form with ourselves an aelcquato union. Of course wo do not dolinitely seek out and discover snob qualities ; instinct works far moro intui tively than that ; but wo lind , at hist , by .subsequent observation , how true and how trustworthy wore its immediate in dications. That i.s to say , those nion dose so who were ) wise isiioiish or iorlunato enough to lollow the earnest promptings of their own hearts , and not to bo ashamed of that divlnu.it and deepest of human intituions , love at first sight. How very subtle tins intuition is , wo can only guess in part by the apparent capnciousne-ss anil incomprehensibility of its occasional action. \yo know that soniti men and women fall in love easily , while others are only moved to love by bomo very special and singular co.iibma- lion of peculiarities. Wo know that ono man is readily stirred by every pretty face ho sees , while another man can only bo roii-.od by intellectual qualities or by moral beauty. Wo know that sometimes wo meet people possessing every virtue * and grace under heaven , and yet lor .somu unknown and incomprehensible reason wo uoulil no tnorqfall in love uitli thorn than wo could fall in love with Iho ton commandments , i don't , of course ) , fora moment accept the silly , romamlo notion that men and wonion fall in love only once in their lives , or that each ono of us has somewhere- earth Ids or hur exact allinity , Whom wo must sooner or later meet o'r else din unsatisfied. Alinos ] every healthy normal man or woman jtua probably fallen in love over and over again in the course of a lifetime * ( except in e-aso of very early imirringo ) and could easily lind dozens of nersons with whom they would bo capable of falling in levi * again if duo occasion ollered. Wo are not oroated in pairs , like the i\ihi'q- tier tallies , exactly intended to lit into each other's minor idiosyncrasies. Men ami women , as a ruin , very sensibly fall in love with one * another in the particu lar places and the particular societies they happen to be cast among.
