not the broad dialect his ''anc milhrr taught

MATRIMONIAL HAPPINESS in one
Of his tales gives the following advice to bride:
In the flst solitary hour after the ceremony,
take the bridegroom and demand solemn VOW
of him, and give him VOW in return. Promise
one another sacredly, never, not even in Jest, to
wrangle with each other; never to handy words
OF indulge in the least iIl-humor Never, say
never! wrangling in jest, and putting on an air
Of ilt-humor merely TO tease, becomes earnest by
practice Mark that! Next promise each 9th
er, sincerely and solemnly rae0er to hare secre,
from each Other, under whatever Pretext, with
whatever excuse it might be. You must con-
tinuaIiy, and every moment, see clearly into each
others bosom. Even when one of you has com
mjtted q fault wal, not an instant but confess
il freely-let ii cost tears, but confess it, Aud
as you keep nothing secret from each other, so,
on the contrary, preserve the privaeies OF your
house, marriage state, and heart from father
mother, sister, brother. aunt and all woTtheld.
You two with Gods help. build your own quiet
world; every third or fourth one whom you draw
iu:o it with you, will form party, and stand
between you two. That should never be. Pro-
mise this to each other. Renew the VOW at
each temptation. You will find your accounts
IN it. Your souls will grow as it were together.
and at last win become as one. All, if many
d young pair had on their wedding day known
this secret, how many marriages were happier
than alas they are
