And then came the realities Of life. Ii Is
my belief that this is the most trying period
Of woman's life However kind and atten-
tive her husband may be, young villa,
when she enters a2oa the actualiges life,
has disclosed to h . state OF Affairs Of
which she bad little or no conception SsfQre
marriage. When she leaves an atpbs phre
Of romance and adulation, and enters upon
The realities Of life, is like stepping out OF a
gardsn of summer flowers INTO the regions
of perpetual winter, and ualess she briags
al her good sense aud philosophy to her aid,
her affections viii become chilled, and she
will regard herself disappoini 4. II not q
deceived woman, for the balance OF her life.

cuse me as the cause, yet be recounted them
in tone and manner SO different, from the
joyous and bouJaat language of sourtship,
that could but feel that wac accou dtabie
for bis troubles. Although never seriously
doubted his love Tor me. yet he certainly
permitted many excellont opportunities for
naniiesting it to pass aaimpfosed. Before
We were married, be seemed TO haze per-
feet mania for holding my hand, and used
to wonder II be would ever give me m op
portuRity to do any needle work after mar

It is true that this affection manifested
itself sporadicslly with all the warmth and
