Practical Love in n Teutonic Famlly-A
Domestic AgapemOne on n Small Scale.
Forbidden charms cause desire in men
akin to madness, and nothing seems equal to
the task Of preventing the insane pursuit of
their fancy-formed enjoyment When they
have been possessed the reaction takes place,
and the unfortunate lunatic. finds too late
that misery came to him in the garb of pleas
ure. .y ....
tLoye free as air at sight of human ties,
spreads his light wings and in moment fiies,"
and this is so generally true that those per-
sons who love most, seldom marry, being
content to enjoy all the rosy god may have
in store for them without any appeal to the
chain-forging ,Hymen.
The world and society, miserable, prude
and immitigable humbug that she is would
hide these facts, and shut her eyes to the ex-
istence of purity in the relationship of the
sexes where marriage either had not taken
place or was not intended, if il were posi-
BILE; but she has, nevertheless, been compelled
to learn that matrimony is not the bulwark
of chastity, and that Eros is seldom found in
company with Juno.
A case that seems to be worthy the atten-
ton of the curious in such matters occurred
few days ago in this city, and as "all man
kind loves a lover" we relate it, presuming
that the interest felt in its result will be
general
Henry - resides with his wife in Brown
County, Ohio, and for many years seemed to
enjoy the devotion of Mrs -, TO whatever
extent domestic bliss is enjoyable. His visits
to this city, however, gradually became more
and more frequent, and his wife thinking
that business was not his sole motive, set
her womans wits to work to discover the
true cause of his truantsllip.
Her effort was eminently successful, and
after some days she found that her husband
had destroyed her peace, although she felt
that the fault was half her own; for she
might have escaped the wretchedness in two
ways: First, by refusing to marry him; sec
ond, by curbing her inquisitiveness. Her
troubles, however, had just begun; for no
sooner had she discovered the illegal inti-
macy of her husband than she came to the
city to investigate the matter.
| In the meantime, Henry made rather an
unceremonious visit to his Mistress and dis
| covered her in the arms of male biped,
whom he had every reason to believe occu-
pied quite as large place in her affections as
himself. The result of this .faux pas may be
readily imagined. The married lover was
intensely indignant, but the only safety-valye
be could find for his pent-up wrath was to
endeavor, by writ of replevin, to obtain
| possession of some articles of household fur
niture with which he had presented her.
| Accordingly the. parties were brought be-
fore Justice Hanselmann a few days ago,
when it was discovered that Augusta had
been married about month ago to man
who now brought suit against Henry for
living in adultery with his wife. These
cases very naturally called in question the
moral character of the parties, when some
one testified that the injured wife was kind
of modern Mrs, Potipher, who had no re-
spect for her husbands honor, but had en-
| invad an Illicit intercOurse with him. for
many years before they were married.
What will be the result Of this affair we
can not tell. 1t should teach the parties
interested several useful lessons, and warn
all others against marriage. The story will
carry with it, however, its own moral, and
we therefore leave our readers to dispose OF
| it for themselves
