flowing peacefully on to the great
ocean of eternity, so am content.
But Hugh's last, loving kiss which
he gave me so passionately beside
the old well, where had risked my
life to save his, has never been eff
faced by the touch of other lips
Aunt Margaret's story was ended.
She had never thought of this grand,
unselfsh act of her life in the light
of a romance, but to me it seemed
very much like one.
ADVICE TO A BRIDEGROOM
To become husband is as serious
a matter to a man as it is for wo-
man to become wife. Marriage is
no child's play; it brings added care,
trial, perplexity, vexation, and it
requires great deal of the happiness
which legitimately springs out of it
to make the balance heavy in its
favor. Very few people live happi-
ly in marriage, and yet this is not
because unhappiness is german to
the relation, but because those who
enter it do not know, first how to
get married, and, second, how to live
married happily. You have already
made your choice-wisely, / am
bound to believe. Those qualities
of character which have attracted
you to choose as you have should
make your love grow daily while you
live together.
AS to the second point: If you
wish to live in harmonious union with
your wife start out with your com
panion and co-partner. Marriage
usually makes the wife neither of
these. In many instances she sees
less of her husband than before she
married him. He comes, he goes,
he reads, thinks, works, and under
the stimulus of business brings all
powers and faculties to the surface,
and is developed thereby-not al
ways symmetrically, but vigorously
not always harmoniously, but with
increasing power. Married men do
not usually shrivel up nor put on a
look of premature age, but women
frequently do, and it is plain to me
why they do.
Married women are shut up in
houses, and their chief care is for
things that have no inspiring inf1u-
ence. Their time is taken up in
meeting the physical wants of their
notwithstanding, washing dishes,
keeping the house in order, sewing,
receiving company-not one of which
has in it tendency even to culture
and elevation. Married women are
devoted to the house, and this means
a life of veXation and pettiness. 1t
gives no sort of stimulus to the
spirit. So the husband who is out of
doors, active, interested in measures
which effect the public good, coming
into contact with men greater than
himself, who inspires him to better
purposes and nobler ends of labor,
developes into manly beauty and
grows in character, while his wife al
home, who has as faithfully perform
ed her share of the work, withers and
decays prematurely.
Treat your wife exactly as your.
self would like to be treated if yor
had to live under her circumstances
and you will not go far wrong.
Do not entertain the silly notior
that because she is of different gen
der from your own that she is there
fore different in her wants, feelings
qualities and powers. Do not be the
victim of any social policy. Stant
up bravcly for the right, give you
wife chance to live, grow and b.
somebody and become something.
Try to be thoughtful, considerat'
and forebearing. You will have nev
duties, and they will bring new trials
Take good care of your health ant
hers. Be simple, both, in your hab
its; be careful in your expenditures
be Industrious. If you keep goo'
health and are frugal, blessings will
come from your united love, and yo1
will grow happier and better day b
day as the years pass.
