The best way to Endure Matrimony.
Timothy Ttccmb writes as follows on what
is called, with exquisite irony, the divine III
sttution:
suppose there is modicum Of romance
in most natures and that if it gathers about
any event, it is that of marriage. Most peo'
pie marry their ideals. There is more or less
fictitious and falucious glory resting upon the
head of every bride, which tie inchoat hus-
band believes in. Most men and woman
manufacture perfection in their mates by a
O. happy process Of their imaeiuations, and
then marrY them. This, Of course, wears
away. By the time the husband has seen his
wife eat heartily of pork and beans, and with
her hair frizzled, and her Oldest dress on, full
Of the enterprise Of overhauling things, he
sees that she belongs to the sano race as him
self. And she, when her husband gets up
crcss in the morning, and undertakes to shave
himself with cold water and iul .zor.
while his suspenders DANCE at his hcc,s: T.

1t makes the spire Of grass and the star Lcau'
tiful ministers Of delight. And do We thhk
that We must sacrifice pleasure by choosing
religion as our guide and our end 1t is
sad mistake, Us they we'll know who cling to
the chalice of sin, AMI drink the bitterness Of
its dregs. Do not hesitate to folio. Christ,
because you think your pleasure will be lost
Every real source of enjoyment, every tiuii
pleasant thing it sanctions, and deprives US
enly Of the evil, and even for this il far more
than repays us. It may check boi'terous
folly, it bestows enduring peace Of mind. Il
may put back the hand that reaches out after
clustering deceits, but it lights the pale cold
face with smile in death. Nothing that Is
lawful now, will be less a pleasure then-it
will be deeper and more beneficial.
