aunt 10 Louisa ''two things which I have
fully proved. The first will go far To-
ward preventing the possibility of any
diseord after marriage tho second the
best and surest preventative Of feminine
character"
Tell me" said Louisa anxiously.
''The frst is this: Demand Of your
bridegroom, as soon rs the marriage GER
emony is over, solemn vow, and prom
ise yourself never, even in jest, 10 dispute
or express any disagreement. ] tell you
never. for what begins in mere banter
ing will end in serious earnest. Avoid
any irritation at one another s
words. Mutual forbcarance is the one
great secret of domestic happiness. II
you have erred, confess il freely, even if
confession cost you some tears. Farther.
promise faithfully and solemnly never
upon any prctcxt or excuse, to have any
secrets or concealments from each other,
but TO keep private affairs from father,
mother, brother sister aud the world
Let them be known only TO each other
and your God. Remember that any
third person admitted into your conf,
dence becomes party to stand between
you, and viii naturally side with one or
the other. Promise to avoid this, and re-
new the vow upon every temptation. II
will preserve that perfect confidence. aud
union, which will indeed make you as one.
%, if the newly married would but par.
ticipate in this spring of connubial peace,
how many unions would be happy which
are miserable"
