The recent marriage of a young lady of 50, near Norwalk, to an elderly gentleman of 21 summers-and winters-is criticised unfavorably by some thoughtless persons who forget that love is blind, and therefore is not supposed to see just where to place his dart most appropriately in all cases. However, a correspondent of the Gazette makes it all right. He deprecates criticism and claims it was a really sensible occurrence. "The bride," he says, "was sensible in taking to husband a boy young and fresh and tender, and the boy showed excellent judgment in placing himself under the protection of a woman qualified by age and experience with the world, to bring him up to be a good man." This ought to settle it.-Stamford Advocate.
