toRBIDDING THE BANS, OR A MARRIAGE

singular circumstances happened in this
city, few days since, in connection
with an intended marriage, that we ever

The Perfect Husband.

As light unto the Morn,
So Time to him unfolds her;
AS holds the light the day,
So unto him he holds her.
A fairer than himself,
By one still brighter given,
A something less of earth
A something more of Heaven.
He deems her not a saint
In loving she is human
And he is Man,
The dearer she as Woman.
Not down on her he looks,
Nor up to an Ideal,
But straight into her eyes,
And all his love is real
AS bends the sturdy tree
To shade pool of water,
But standeth like rock
When winds and torrent slaughter
So bends he unto her
When gentlest her controlling,
So stands he as wall
When dangers round are rolling.
It's not by given Right,
Or privilege he rules her;
For It's his grace to yield,
That in obeying schools her;
And if the less himself
From troublous cause, or other,
In milder type he wears
The spirit of his mother
AS she may have fault,
So he may have q greater,
And sorrow for his own
For both is exculpator;
And if upon her sleeve
She shares n passing folly,
He frights it with a smile,
And not with melancholy.
He slaves her truth to him
BY no combining portal,
But in himself reflects
Its counterpart immortal.
The freedom that he gives,
Is taken from the donor;
A Husbands faith may rest
Upon Husband honor.
And ever as a child,
When childish she, he chides her,
And ever as a man,
When she is strong, he guides her;
Through sunshine and through shade,
Through blessing and disaster,
In more than name. her Friend,
In less than law, her Master
