the whole affair.
Although young in years (pardon
nv not telling you the exact tg-
ures-a woman's privilege, you
know,) have studied human ma
ture enough, aud the lives Of young
married couples sufficiently, TO ietl
snre that over oue-hali of those
that marry are disappointed in
each other afterwards. This is IA
most unfortunate state of affairs,
but both are equally to blame, the
one for not showing a. true nature,
the other for not fully uuderstaud-
ing II, before marriage. Women, |
am sorry to say, are more given to
deceit before marriage than men,
and brutal treatment is frequently
their reward. Ii girls were only

Bile, but women daily marry who
are only dressnakerss models, and
even worse .jaralids, who bring to
their husb,.nd the cares aud
troubles os 11lf vyual sickness, to
add 10 their business anxieties.
What ma can respect, much
less love, woman who is a con.
stant burden TO him, and who
knowingly deceived him at the altarl
