HAPPY MARRIAGES.
Marriages are happy where the

Marriages are happy where they
take place from pure love, between
two persons who are already thor
oughly acquainted with each other,
and who are quite content with each
other as they then are
First, love must be the motive
Marriages of convenience, as they
are called, almost always turn out to
be anything but convenient, and on
the contrary, exceedingly inconven-
lent.
If people marry for money, even
if the money be obtained, the hus-
band or wife taken with it, is of
course, and necessarily, regarded
merely as an encumbrance, to be en-
dured for the sake of their highly
priced pecuniary acquisition. Then
if it chances that the coveted money
be not received, or that it be subse-
quently lost, the situation is still
more deplorable, for the incum-
brance alone remains without the
compensation calculated for its en-
durance, and becomes all the more
uncomfortable.
If people marry for what is called
position, they marry for something
which cannot be obtained in that
way. A sound title position can on
ly be got by merit. Never BY mat
rimony.
Secondly, happy marriages can
only take place between people who
are we'll acquainted, and who are
satisfied with each other as they
are.
Young persons who are blinded
by love that their judgment is rem
dered torpid, who are unable to per-
ceive each others faults, and who
marry, in real form, an imaginary
character, are soon and sadly unde-
ceived by the experience of married
life; and such matches are most
miserable.
So of those who marry, not be-
cause they are satisfied with each
other as they now are, but who are
quite confident of their ability to
change the character of the person
they wed. Such hopes prove de-
lusive. Do not be deceived by the
idea that you can romould charac-
ter already cast, in consequence of
assuming the matrimonial relation.
The probability is, that the objec-
tionable or disagreeable qualities
which you already perceive will in
crease, and not diminish after mar
riage while the possibility of discov-
ering new ones always exists.
These suggestions may be needed
with advantage by the endless pro-
cession continually moving toward
the gates of matrimony.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

There is one touching incident of
the life of William Writ. In his
younger days he ways victim to
that passion for intoxicating drinks,
which seems peculiarly the bane of
young men. Affianced to beauti-
full and accomplished young woman,
he had made and broken repeated
pledges Of amendment, and she,
after patiently and kindly enduring
his disgraceful habit, had at length
dismissed him, decming him incor-
rigiblo. Their next meeting, after
DISMAL, was in a public street Of the
city of Richmond. William Writ
lay drunk and asleep on the side
walk, on hot summer day, the rays
of the sun pouring down on his un-
covered head, and the flies crawling
over his swollen features. AS the
young lady approached in her walk,
her attention was attracted by the
spectacle, strange to her eyes, but
alas so common to others who
knew the victim, as to attract little
remark. She did not at first recog-
nize the sleeper, and was about to
hasten on, when she was led by one
of those impulses which form the
turning points in human lives, to
scrutinize his features. What was
her emotion when she recognized in
him her discarded loverl She drew
forth her handkerchief and carefully
spread it over his face and hurried
away. When Writ came to himself,
he found the handkerchief, and in
one corner the initials of the beloved
name. With a heart almost break
ing with grief and remorse, he made
a new vow of reformation. He kept
that vow, and he married the owner
of that handkerchief. Well might
he preserve the handkerchief, as he
did, all his life, guarding it with the
jealous care with which Othello kept
the Egyptian charmer's gift, and
making it a darling like his prec-
ious eye"

FRANKNEss.-Be frank with the
world. Frankness is the child OF
honesty and courage. Say what
you mean to do on every occasion,
and take it for granted that you
mean to do just what is right. If a
friend ask you favor, you should
grant it, if it is reasonable if it is
not, tell him plainly why you cannot.
You will wrong him and wrong
yourself by equivOcation of any kind.
Never do a wrong thing to make q
friend or keep one; the man who
requires you to do so is dearly pur-
chased and at a sacrifice. Deal kind
ly and firmly with all men, and you
will find it the policy which wears
the best. Above all, do not appear
to others what you are not. If you
have any fault to find with any one,
tell him, not others, of what you
complain. There is no more dan
gerous experiment than that of un-
dertaking to do one thing to a mans
face and another behind his back
We should live, act and speak out of
doors, as the phrase is, and say and
do what we are willing should be
known by all men. 1t is not only
best as a matter of principle, but as
a matter of policy.
