Marriage.

Marriage is to a woman at once the happi-
promise Of future bliss raised on the death Of
present enjoyment She quits her home, her
parents, her companions, her amusemcnts--
everything on which she has hitherto de-
pended for comfort, for affection, for kind
ness and for pleasure.
The parents by whose advice she has been
guiled--the sister to whom she has dared to
impart the very embryo thought and feeling
the brother who has played with her, by
turns the counsellor and the counselled, and
the younger children to whom she has hith-
erto been the mother and pIaymate-all are
to be frsaken at one fell stroke--every for
mer tie is loosened--the spring of every ac-
tion is changed; and she flies with JOY in the
untrodden paths before her, buoyed up by
the confidence Of requitcl love, she bids a
fpud and grateful adieu to the life that is past,
and turns with excited hopes and joyous an
ticipation to the happiness to come. Then
woe to tho man mho can blight such .far hopes
who can trcacherouSly lure such a heart
from its peaceful enjoyments, and watchful
protection of home-who can, coward-like.
break the illusions which have won her, and
destroy the confidence which love had in
spircd.
Woe to him who has too early Withdrawn
the tender plant from the props and stays Of
moral discipline in which she has been nnr-
tured, and yet makes no effort tn supply their
places; for on him is the responsibility Of her
errors-on him who FIRST taught her, by his
exarnple, to grow careless Of her duty, aad
then exposed her with IA weakened spirit and
unsatisfied heart, to the wild storms and the
willy temptations of a sinful world.

The Angel OF the House.

There is an angel in the house. No mat
ter how fallen the inmates, how depressed
the circumstances, there is an angel there to
pity or to cheer. 1t may he in the presence
Of little child, or il may be enclosed in a
STOPPING and wrinkled body. treading the
downward path to the grave. Or, perhaps,
in cheerful spirit, looking upon the ills of
life ~ so many steps toward heaven, If only
! bravely overcome, and mounted with..sinless
feet. We knew such angel once, and it was
u drunkards child. On every side, wherever
she moved, she only saw misery and degra-
ton, and yet she did not fall. Her father
brutal, and her mother discouraged, and her
| home thoroughly uncomfortable. But she
struggled along with angel endurance, bear
ing with an almost sanity patience the in
| firmities of him who gave her existence, and
| then hourly embittered it.
Night after night, at the hours of ten,
twelve, and one, barefoot, ragged, shawlless
and bonnetless, has she been to the den Of the
drunkard, and gone staggering home, with her
arm around her father. Many time has her
| flesh been blue with the mark Of bis hand,
when she has stepped in between her helpless
mother and violence. Many time has she
, sat upon the cold curbstone, with his head in
her lap; many a time known how bitter il
was to cry for hunger, when the money which
should have bought bread was spent in gin.
And the patience that the angel wrought with
make her face shine; so that, though never
| acknowledged in the courts Of this world, in
the kingdom of heaven she was waited for by
assembled hosts Of spirits, and the crown Of
martyrdom lay ready waiting for her young
| brow. And she was martyr. Her gentle
split went up from couch OF anguish-an
guish brought on by i'll usage and neglect
And never till then, did the father recognize
the angel in the child never till then did his
manhood arise from the dust of its dishonor.
From hcr humble grave, he went away to
steep his resolves in bitter tears and he will
| tell you to-day how the memory her much
enduring life keeps him from the bowl how
he gees sometimes, aud stands where her pa
| tient hands have led him, while her cheek
crmsoned at the sncers of those who scof at
the drunkard's child. Search for the angels
in your households, aud cherish them while
they are among you. 1t may bethat all un-
consciously you frown upon them, when
smile would lead you to a knowledge Of their
| exceeding worth. They may be among the
least cared for, most despised but when they
are gone with their silent Influence, then will
y, mcurn for them, as Tor jewel of great
| worth. The British HOrkmdn.

Working MOthers-Idle Daughters,

It u.s. says Mrs. Ellis, most painful spec
tacle in families where the mother is the drudge
to see the daughters elegantly dressed, recli-
ming at their ease, with their drawing their
music, their fancy work and their reading !;
beguiling themselves Of the lapse Of hours,
days and weeks, and never dreaming of their
responsibilities but, as a necessary conse-
qucnce Of the neglect Of duty, growing weary
of their useless lives, laying hold # every
newly invented stimulant to rouse their
Dropping energies, and blaming their God,
for having placed them where they are.
These individuals will often tell you with
an air of affected compassion-for who can
believe it real--that poor dear mamma is
working herself to DEATH Yet, no sooner do
you:propose Il at they should assist her, than
they declare she is quite in her element-in
short, that she would never be happy II she
had only half as much to do.
