Well, to makea long story short after
looking at the subject on all sides, as we'll
as could, and asking the advice Of my
friends, some Of whom comtOrted me by
saying was fool to think Of such n
marriage, gave up the idea about twenty
times, and finally ventured,
/ have now been married three years.

real happiness was, We are keeping
house in four nice rooms. Mary does
her work except the washing. We have
no servants t6" pay, to board, and to
smash things generally; neither do We sup
port any family OF "their cousils;" neither

When people make up their minds to
live In an honest and rational way, troop
oil bugbears vanish. My motto is never
ape style or position that you are not able
to maintain; DO independent and true TO
yourselves; remembering that life Is
stern reality, and be able to do your part
hOnorabIy and fearlesssly.
To the friend OF "pruG and in
Wednesdays Tribune, | wish to say that
she Ia not tho first one who has lost
good husband by falsehoOd. Had she
told (if 1t were fact, as It probably was)
him that her new dress was two old ones
put together and made by herself, and
that her wardrobe cost her less than $3.50
per year, her soul might have been whittier
Mt least,
The fearful habit Of deceiving on both
sides before marriage Is the root Of
great deal Of evil in married life.
Boys, don't he afraid to marry u sensi:
bic and honest girl. Treat her wei and
you will have good wife and be happy
mot a lonely, friendless and fobaken
old bach, with none to love and none to
cares. JOHN DALDARD.
