world was made. Ittisla little amusing,
isn't it, to see how sure people are be-
fore marriage, and the first stages there
of, that their case is an excep-
tional one? And how sure they are
a few years after, when they have
found themselves still outside the Eden
gate among the thOrns and thiStleS,
that their case is only one of many!
Well. suppose all the married people
are outside the gate of the freshest
Eden. that doesn't answer the question
that is being agitated, does it? for, are
not the unmarried dig ging in the same
weedy ground for their crop of food?
We shall shall have to look farther for
the answer to this question, els mar
riage failure?"
1t would simplify the matter wonder
fully, it seems to me, if Sarah Jones and
Susan Jane BeeSwax and Lucinda
Lofty and Solomon Speakout would
remember that the query which the So
cial world is propOunding is, not
whether Sarah Jones or Susan Jane
BeeswaX or Lucinda Lofty or Solomon
Speakout have found perfect satisfac-
ton and unclouded bliss in the mar
riage relation; it is not even whether
people in general have found that much
lOnged-f0r condition to be the usual re-
suit of the mathematics that says, tone
and one maketh one" A disappointed
and divorced wife sees the inquiry in
point, us marriage a failure?" and,
really wishing to do others favor
which she probably does-proceedS to
replr to it ny citing her own sorrows.
The village SeamStreSS reads the queS-
ton, and, reviewing in some "WOman's
Column" her observations in the vari-
Gus domestic establishments with which
she is acquainted, publishes Herewith
her conclusion that she has never found a
perfectly happy union of man and
woman. The wife of six months rusheS
into print to tell us all that she is per-
fectly happy; if she: isn't it is the fault
of her own silly loving heart, and that
she would rather suffer anything than
live without her dear, big, precious
Tom if he doesn't understand her.
Young Dash assures society that he can
have a better time single, and old
SlOwbones is convinced that wife

what of all that? Not one of the above
quoted has really been trying to answer
the question put forth. Not one of
them knows it to be sure. Not one of
them ever will, even though my gratu-
itOus information concerning their ignor-
ance should be spread before their
eyes. Now the question is not
even whether marriage makes a
present happiness for the major
ity of the people. What is marriage
for anyway-fOr what purpose was it
invented, instituted or ordained? That's
the first point to be settled. This watch
that l hold in my hand is failure, is
it? 1t cannot write letter. But it was
not made to write letters, 1t was made
to keep time. My kitchen girl cannot
go into my parlOr and entertain my
callers, she is a failure. 1t isn't your
kitchen girls business to entertain
callers. If she does the work and
serves the purpose that kitchen girl is
intended to do and serve, she is sue
cess. What purpose was marriage in
tended to serve? Herein lies the
answer to, Is it failure?

Written for the Globe.
Why society should so earnestly de-
sire to know, beyond doubt, whether
the institution of marriage is failure
or success is not quite clear in my
mind. If every married person, to say
nothing of the unmarried ones, should
come forward and in the open court of
newspapers testify that it is failure
what then? What would society pro-
pose to do about it? Does she suppose
that even in the face of such facts peO-
pie would not keep right on marrying
as they have done ever since there
was a man and woman in the
world to sin and suffer and learn
together? Nay, verify, the human race
would doubtless follow the Injunction
