illat it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, 7711i,11 L'hel
