An elegant writer has said, “that the period of our courtship is the
happiest of our lives.”--If this position be true, it is impossible not
to admire the prudence of a couple lately married, who protracted this
period of felicity for thirty-four years. That they should at last think
it necessary to unite in the bands of wedlock, is a striking proof that
all human felicity must sometime or other have an end.
