The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1877-04-15

We Treat u Delicate Subject.
There is no duty upon the performance Of
which we enter with moro pleasure, though
also with due sense of the responsibility
| involved, than that OF advising our young
readers in matters of the heart Love is
flower which blooms forcvcrmorc. Arctic
frosts cannot kill it and tropical suns cannot
withcr it. In all ages love has been the in
SEPARATION Of poets and romanccrs, and long
after we are dead the song will echo
through the world with notes as clear as
those which sounded in the Garden of Eden.
1t is subject which iitly occupies the
thoughts of young men and maidcns, for
a suitable marriage is a thing to be wished
for. Therefore, SO far as we can aid any of
our readers in attaining that blissful goal,
we gladly adventure the task.
The trouble about giving young people adj
vice in love is that they are not apt TO fol-
! low it, They are too prone to think that
they are wiser in their own notions concern
! ing it than their teachers or elders. Some
times they are So, but often they are not,
and grave experienced. and sympathetic
friend, like THE Sun, can do them great SER
vice as an advisor. Marriage is one Of the
most serious undertakings in life, and yet
how frequently it is entered into without
due reflection and under the propulsion OF
hcadlong passion merely Young people in
| this country will get engaged without
thinking of consulting their parents and
| if those natural protectors venture to
suggest a doubt as to the propriety of the
| proceeding, they are regarded 10y the en-
amorcd pair ~ mcldling with what doesn't
concern them. This is all wrong for age de-
serves respect, and the parental eye may
discern things concealed from the vision Of
the imprisoned boy or sill. still we advise
parent To onernp unreasonable obstacles To
| the inevitable desire Of their children to Ice
mated.
