Comfort FOR IL Ola Maids.
FROM the New York Tribune.
As "miscry is said to love compaHy,'
it might comfort our. friend to know that
cold maius" are not the only individuals
that 60 through life heavy-hearted. If
she will look over the circle Of her
friends and acIUaintances she will find
very few with whom she would be will
ing to change places. She will find many
wives m9rrled Dut not mated, many
mothers whose children are u source Of
as much pain and anxiety rs Of pleasure
and widows whose Grown Of sorrow il
remembering happier days" This will
not lessen the chill she must feel who
warns herself at another's tireside,'
bat il may enable her to bear it with
greater fortitude. The best way OF
managing the stigma Of being called solo
maid" is to accept the designation
heartily, in accordance with the facts
to make no secret OF ones
age, Of ones preference for married life
if it could be property realized, and of
the reasons which have compelled sin
Gle life. CHEESE facts need not be Obtru-
dad, but when they are suggested their
full recognition is the best policy.
Il is true, no doubt, that most Of thOs'
who live unmarried lose not only tho
greatest happiness but the best dist
pline of life IL never losing the conscious
ness Of self.
Love took up the harp of Life, smote on al
its cords with might, ..ra'
Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling

The blesSednGss Of perfect marriage
lies largely in the con seriousness that the

mon to both and common only to both
Each knows all the heart, all the thought,
all the being of the other; as the soul
and body are one, 50 the husband and
wife. are one, in an Intimacy as sacred
us it is pure and entire, and which IN
the Scriptures is compared TO the rela-
ton between Christ and the Church.
Then in the mother-love there is the
anne or greater abnegation OF self. The
mother delights in giving her life to her
child anu for her child If need be, an
this devotion, far from re luiring an eff
fort it is impossible for her to repress.
''Can q mother forget her child2"
1t is the want Of this discipline and all
that it implies, SO pleasant TO take that
it seems 10 demand another name that
prevents the majority Of .'old maids
from being loyable and lovely, that
leaves, them narrow and narrowing
and particular" The loving wife easl-
ly learns to overlook or make allowance
for such faults as she may discover in
her husband, and to cure them if they
can he cured, not by direct attack. but
by gentle and wisely devised flang
movements. She learns also to have her
own faults corrected by q loving hand.
The mother submits almost with pleas
ure TO pulling Of her hair, the disarrang-
ing OF her dress, by the dear little hands
of her baby, TO it's getting into things"
and the strewing of its playthings along
the floor, and wen to the prints of its
fingers on the window-pane. 1t could
be wished III some cases that the 'di-
vine phrensy" Of mother-love were in
these matters less pronounced than it is.
The single wonan has little Or none OF
this special kind of discipline.
Not even one little child depends on
her for happiness. What can she do?
What work will fill the empty hands
and hungry hearth And yet orphan
asylums are full to o~verfiowing. In
Vulnerable motherless waits are floating
about in society perishing for want OF
loving care. In such a world as this
there is surely enough to do for all who
would relieve sorrow and pain and
bring Joy to the anguished heart and
deed, has the Mother Church" provid-
ed vacations for the women in her
membership, and made it possible for
| her whose heart overtiows with charity
! and the desire OF doing good, but whose
hands are empty, to associate herself
with schemes Of organized beneyosence
in fields that are ALWAYS white to the
| harvest" Some OF u Protestant com
munion have followed this example, and
the Sisters of Mercy are happy in
| their work. Lacking association OF this
kind, she who Is really in earnest TO
bring happiness to herself by creating it
| in the hearts OF others will indthe way
open as sho advances.
