After Marriage.
BIZ MRS. BELLA Z. MISTER.

Generally in tales romances, novels, etc,
we find that after innumerable troubles, diff
ficulties and heartrcnding trials, the fair he
roine and noble hero settle down to n bli 'sful
domestic life and then tie curtain drops
upon the scene, and scl;lom is it drawn aside
to reveal the after-lile OF the parties drawn
together by suffering and opposition. And
yet, could we look into the scenes that fol-
low the consnmmation of their one desire
to be untcd--how oft would we find that
with the uttcrancc of the marriage vow,
comes the cup of bitterness that shall taint
their future lives with darkness and despair.
Lila M0ntrosc was a gentc-heartcd, whole
soulcd woman, and when she gave her hand
, to Walter Huntington, she but ceinented the
bonds that united their hearts with deep
and strong affection. lie was twcnty-siX,
she fifteen years of age at the time of their
marriage, and though both belonged to Il
class Of refined, noble and intelligent beings,
both were full of faults that were well-calcu
lated to wreck their domestic peace forever,
unless proper means were taken to uprout
them from their natures. Walter was tender
aud ailcctionate as n woman when in his
, gentle moods. but he possessed n proud, I'M
pelious disposition, aud expected all within
D the limit of his influence to bow TO him and
his will in all things, aud so long as this WAS
) done he was good-natured and aflectionatc,
but let any one dulo to rebel ard he was ftl-
rious. And like many other proud persons
, he would never confess himself wrong to heal
wound inflicted, even though he knew he
j had been in the wrong. This he would have
looked upon as forfeiture of his dignity and
riSh'S, anu 'hat would never DO; III laC.'
