Few of human follies have less excuse to plead, than the neglect of marriage in youth — and the consequent anxiety for it, in later life. A quick sensibility, strength, activity, ambition and power of sustaining family cares — ability to govern and educate children — with freedom from uncouth habits; and full propension to love; all invite to early marriages. Cold prudence is all the virtue peculiar to later life; and it is generally left without the assistance of the other virtues.

Persons. MEN. Mr. ALLWORTHY — a gentleman of excellent morals. Mr. GOODSORT — a methodical, sober bachelors WOMEN. Miss HAWTHORNE — a single lady of thirty six. Mrs. EASY — a widow. Miss HAZARD — a mantua maker. Miss EMILY — an accomplished young lady. Miss FORESIGHT — a cunning maiden of twenty eight. LUCY — servant to Miss Hawthorne.
