Thoughts on Marriage.

There Is more truth than poetry IN the
following, which We find in an exchange:
In how many inatances at the prssen.
day, 10 marriage merely union Of hands -
the affections not being ever taken into con-
sideration. The question on the one side
s'Is she handsome ? has she money.' On
the other, "Can he support me in style
shnll be able to make An appearance ?''
How much better would it be to ask-s'Has
the woman heart capable of pure affsc-
tlon will she be willing to share with me
adyersity as well ~ prosperity will she
forsaks oil others and cleave only unto me
through veal and woe? And woman, yes
woman-she whose very nature ought to
stimulate her to higher and holier mo-
tives for taking upon herself the marriage
relations too often anxious a. to the
length Of her husbands purse, ard the
amount Of his bank stock. The heart-the
mind the intellsst--yes, everything worth
marrying for, being non. essentials. But
oh, che misery which too often follows such
marriages. The husband, when il 10 toe
late, laments his blindness and folly. The
wife 10 made to realize that riches take to
themselves wings and hy away and then
eomes the consciousness Of want of sym.
pathy and eongenial,ty Of fsslings. Each
are thrown bask upon themselves for net .
chord in the breast Of one vibratss in unison
with the other. Let the young beware how
they enter the marriage state from such mo-
tives, lest they awake too late from the
delusion. Consult the judgment and hesi-
tate whom that says, "bswars!" Let The
property Be in, rather than with, the eom-
panion. oh, the loneliness Of an unwsdded
hssrt! The hands may be united; but to
feel that in heart you are separated must
be nisery indeed. True, the routine Of du-
ties might BE- regularly performed, and with
that sxastusss which would exclude the pos
sibility Of sonplaint; bat with the kAswl.
edge that IL was net prompted By love; that
tits meta spentansous expression Of heart
oil lyour own-lifs nay BE- endured. Many,
alas, teo many, can testify to the truth,
frsm practical experience. Let their sxps-
risnoe prsvs warning to others against
tho shoals and quioksands Of this uncertain
sea.
Examine the heart, not tho purse the
soul, the mind, not the tenement it dwslls
in. Oonsult the judgment, net fancy. Let
pure, hsart-fslt affection bs the incentive
to marriage. To think Of being obliged to
associate fer life with one who has not
feeling Of sympathy with you, and who is
moreover in sentiment, taste and feeling
directly opposed - you-how revolving the
thought |!

But soon their summer splendor passed,

But soon their summer splendor passed,
They faded in the wind;
Yet were these roses to the last,
The lovsliest Of their kind;
Whose crimson leaves, in falling round,
Adorned and sancti6ed the ground.
My friends, in youths romantic prime,
Take warning from these flowers;
Like them you'll bloom, and fade, and die,
And pass ifs's happy hours;
Like them to earth you must return,
Therefore, take heed, and wisdom learn.
