cows, oxen, and horses were waiting TO

My mother laughed and said, See
now what comes OF kicking when you are

The Secret OF nIatrimonIni nappi-

The secret OF Matrimonial Happi-
ness.
Zsckoke, in one OF his tales gives the
following advice TO a bride: ain thy first
solitary hour after the ceremony, take
the bridegroom and demand solemn
vow Of him, and give him vow in re-
turn. Promise one another sacredly,
never, not even in jest, TO wrangle with
each other; never to handy words or in
dulge in the least ill.humor. Never, |
say never! Wrangling in Jest, and put
ting on an air of ill-humor merely to
tease, becomes earnest by practice
Mark that! Next, promise each other
sincerely and solmnly, never to have a
secret from each other, under whatever
pretext, with whatever excuse II might
be.
"You must continually, and every mo-
ment, see clearly into each others bos-
oms. Even when one Of you has COM
mitted fault, wait not an instant, but
confess II freely-let IL cost tears, but
confess il. And "a yet keep nothing Sc
cret from each other, so, on the contra
ry, preserve the privacics Of your house,
marriage state, and heart, from father,
mother, sister, brother, aunt, and all the
world. You two, with Gods help, build
your own quiet world; every third or
fourth one whom you draw into il with
you will form party, and stand between
you two. That should never be. Prom
ise this to each other. Renew the vow
at each temptation. You will find your
account in Il. Your souls will grow as
IL were together aud at last will become
as one. All, II many young pair had,
on their wedding day, known this secret,
how many marriages woro happier than,
alas, they are!"
