FtMALEOCRACY.
Love and Welded Happiness as Seen by
hfias Rosa Cleveland.

MISS Rose Cleveland.
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland has be-
come the author of book of essays, in
which she dea.s very familiarly with inner
facts about love and welded happiness
Just how she car speak with any degree of
success OF certainty upon this delicate and
all-important topic-since during the sum
ner weather of 1886 she is reclining under
the shady side of spinster's forty-we
leave il to our readers of the RECORD UNION
to guess but here are brief lines from what
she says
aristotle said: Whoever is delighted
with solitude is either a wild beast or
god We have in US a good deal of each,
but vet we are neither aud self alone could
never suffice us. The human soul was not
made to contain itself. II was made to spill
over. and it does and will spill over.
Such is the reciprocity of hearts Sosouls
wander in search of each other SO many
rovaI heart languishes in exile, till be-
meath It's prison bars Love stands and sings
its own familiar and enchanting song
There is love, and love, but the rational,
maud. for its persistence, some real ac-
workmanship. To all love that rightly
eliminates in marriage there is, doubtless,
an irrational phase a normal abnormailty
that may or may not outlast the honey
moon, and then give place to something
better. Indeed the conditions of concrete
altruistic faith does not demand the condi-
tons of courtship or OF marriage.
In the fresh young years of our lives
there is facility Of feeling, readiness OF
devotion, reckless expenditure of love.
1t may be easier for woman to believe
in somebody else than for man to do so.
Men, as a rule, are very much occupied in
believing in themselves. Woman is con-
fessedly altruistic. But this faith, although
not inconsistent with the estate of holy
matrimony, is yet not dependent upon that
estate.
A airt is the most harmless person IN the
world A genuine Irritation is the fairest
bargain possible-nothing for nothing, niha

mediately--for fiirts are ethereal creature;
you can walk through them and not know
there is anything there 1t is all matter
of tenuous reciprocity.
More than one woman goes to the max
ing of one man, or, if not, the man lacks
something in the making. The mother
makes the man, perhaps, but the wife man.
uiactures him. Sometimes the wife, i'll

the mother, and sometimes she counter
acts it.
When Ayeshs. the beautiful child the
pet child wife of Mohammed's old age, ar
rogant with the arrogance of beauty and
favorite, attempted to rally her now illus
trious and powerful husband upon his
loyal love for his first wife, and said to
him, Yves she not old? and has not God
given you a better in her placer Mo-
hammed replied, with an effusion of hon

The womau-soul, when it sets itself to
come 10 the rescue-in church, state, So

things.
The energy and devotion and credulity
and constancy aud jealousy aud consuming
passion and triumphant worship that go
into woman's love for one man make it
the thing it IS.
