Now, my brother, how ought you e
treat herg Unless yoH are an migrate In
Unite you wild treat her we'll. You vii
treat her better than any one In tue uni
verse except your God. Her name vii
have In II more music than in all that
Chopin or Bach or Rheinbergcr com
posed Her eyes, swollen with three
weeks gJl nieN watching over q child
with scarlet fever, VIII be TO you heauti
full as q May morning. After the last
rose petal has dropped out Of her cheek,
after the Inst feather Of the ravens wing
has fallen from her hair, after across her
forehead and under her eyes and across
her face there are as many wrinkles as
there are graves over which she has wept,
you VIII bn able truthiully to say, In the
words OF Solomon's song "Behold,
th0u art fair, my love, Behold, thou art
fitriv And perhaps she may respond
appropriately, IN the words that no one
hat the matehless Robert Burns could
eyer have found pen or ink or heart OF
brain 10 write;
',Iohn Anderson. my 10, John
We ciamb The hill fhoglther;
Ana mOny q can't DAY, John
We've had WI uuC anifher.
Now We mann totter down, John,
And seep thegliner al the foot,
John Anderson, my l0."
II any one assail her good name you
will have hard work TO control your tenn
per, and II you should strike him down
the sin will not be objectionable. BY as
complete surrender as the universe ever
saw, except that of the Son OF God for
your salvation and for mine, she has a
iirst mortgage on your body, mind and
soul, and the mortgage Is loreclosed, and
you do not more thoroughly own your
two eyes or your two hands than she
owns you. The longer the Journey Re
bekah makes and the greater the risks Of
her expedition on the back of the camels,
the more thoroughly is Isaac bound TO be
kind and indulgcnt and worthy.
Now, be honest and pay your debts.
You promised TO make her happy Are
you making her happyl You are an
honest man in other things, and feel the
Importance OF keeping a contract. II
you have Induced her into coniugal
partnership under certain pledges of
Kindness and valuable attention, and
then have failed TO fulfil your word, you
deserve TO have a suit brought against
you for getting goods under false pre-
lenses, ana then you ought to be
mulcted IN large amount OF damages
Review now all the fine, beautiful, COM
gracious and glorious things
you promised her beforei'marrlage, and
reflect whether you have kept your faith.
Do you say, "Oh, that was all sentiment
alism and romance and n loke,n and that
"they all talk that way ~

the deed drawn and the money paid down

hardly sleep nights because OF the El
