LovE AND MARRIAGE.
Count YOlstoi on the Conventional nia-
sion OF Romantic Love.


sion OF Romantic Love.
81 WISH" said Count rolstoi to The Pail
Mall Budgets representative. Ito write
novel, romance, exposing the conventional
illusion Of romantic love. ! have already
written ii, but it must be turned upside down
and rewritten. 1t is too much of a treatise
as it stands, and there Is not enough Of ac-
ton in it. My object is to fill the reader
with horror at the result Of taking romantic
love an serieux. The end TO which the whole
story will lead up will be the murder of
wife by her husband It will exhibit the
deprivation of married live by the substitu-
tion Of romantic love, fever born of carnal
passion, for Christian love, which is born Of
identity Of sentiment, similarity Of ideal, tho
friendship of the soul Upon that love,
Christian love, the love Of brother and sister
If the carnal love can be grated it is well,
but the former, not the latter, is the first
condition Of happy married life. Herein the
peasants teach us a lesson. They regard
what we regard as romantic love as dis
ease, temporary and painful and dangerous
With them no marriage is made under It's in
huence. Anything is better than that The
Herrstaten, who marry by the drawing OF
lots, are wiser than we.
"Our system is the worst possible, and the
whole OF our wedding ceremonial, and the
honeymoon, tho feasting, and the Indictment
TO carnallty, are directly calculated to result
in the deprivation Of matrimony. Not in
orfe case out Of a hundred does romantic love
result In lifelong happy union. The young
people whose lives lie in different orbits are
drawn together by this evanescent passion.
They marry. For a month they are happy
perhaps even for year or two years.
Then they hate each other for the rest Of
their lives, spending their time Ia paying
homage to the responsibilities by concealing
the truth from their neighbors. 1t must be
so. II Anna Karenina had married Leven
she must have abandoned him likewise Ro-
mantle love is like opium or hashish. The
sensation is overpowering and delightful.
But it passes. 1t is not in human nature not
to wish to renew the experience. For this
novelty is Indispensable. So the wife betrays
her husband and the husband is false to his
wife, and the world becomes one wide brothel.
wish to open the eyes Of all to the real nat
ure and the tragic consequences of this sub
stitution Of romantic for Christian loves
see it clearly, OH so clearly; and when you
see thing which no one else seems to see
you feel you must gather all your forces, and
devote yourself TO setting forth the truth as
you see it. This deprivation Of marriage is
all because Christianity has been word and
not thing. 1t will, however, be reality
again SOON"

sentative This little fact is sometimes
overlooked, but it would be we'll to keep
1t ever before one, especially so, knowing
there is future Mr.. Higgins is fully
qualified, TO fill this position with honor
to the state. In the prime of life and
with an intelligent and comprehensive
understanding broad enough to meet aud
master the vital questions Of the day, he
has only to use iudiciously his admitted
gifts to gain for himself the appreciation
not only of his friends, but Of many who
would have preferred one of his late COM
petitors. Win he do his duty2 AS a
Republican, Mr.. Higgins is also well fit
ted to be the guardian of his party. Well
versed in all the many Vaccinations,
now so generally essential to party
success, he will easily take rank
among the leaders as an astute politician
of the practical order All this is seemly
all that is necessary, provided Il is not
carried too far Happy the politician
who, while admired for his shrewdness IN
management Of party affairs, sees in il
no reflection on his integrity as a states
man. Combinations Of the sort, however
are rare. VIII the Republican Senator
from Delaware be one2
Finally, we congratulate Mr.. Higgins
even as we would congratulate any man
who has grasped the prize that many
long for but few attain If he will re
member our Delaware first, party
afterwards-he will continue TO merit
and receive them unintermittently.'

Recognition of services.


BROOKLYN Eagle
Delaware's first Republican United
States Senator is man of marked ability.
of large experience in public affairs and
admirably fitted by taste and training for
the high position he is to occupy. He is
a graduate Of Yale, was deputy attorney
general Of his state, subsequently United
States district attorney and is now ad-
mittedly one Of the ablest lawyers in
Delaware. Mr.. Higgins has always been
an active and pronounced Republican,
and his elevation 10 the Senate is no less
a deserving recognition Of his services Ia
his party than Of his ability and genuine
worth as a man.

Some one suggested Phil Days gam

and pretty soon Wolcott had all the chips
stacked before him. being $50, 900 ahead.
Then luck turned and Wolcott's pile
began to diminish. Finally he bet every
thing he had on one card. Seven thou
sand dollars were up. Wolcott lost,
drank bottle of wine with the winner,
went home and was soon fast asleep.
Wolcott and his brother were taken
out to Colorado by Senator Hill, who
started them on the road TO fortune.
The brother is now a millionaire, and
Ed WOlcott could soon be one if he should
hold on to his gains long enough.
