Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-03-08

emotional marriages, especially among
the more barbarous tribes; but, on the
other hand, in England, where so many
extinct mobiles marry American girls
who bud on the same branch beside the
| leaf lard which gave vitality and wealth
to the parent stem, think that propin
guilty has little to do with marriage,
| spondulicity being the great motive on
the one hand and love for purple but
strumous blood ON the other. The true
English humor found in the blood of
| the nobility is the kind that calls loudly
| for $50 doses of saraaparilla for 81.
But shall we say that cool calculation
| has much to do with the true and happy
| marriage? No, your majesty, | trow
not.
True love must be more or less asso
ciated with youth, and youth is not cool
or calculating. Did your majesty pause
to consider In your sweet girlhood the
| great international questions which
your marriage with Albert might raise?
1 do not believe that you did hope
not, at least.
Looking over my own experience and
those of some of my acquain.ances, l
would exclaim. BLESSED be propin-
quity!" To those who have been denied
the joyful propinquity of a sleigh ride
on frosty evening, when health and
high purposes bound through every
| artery and Il sweet presence sits adlOln-
ing you, death can have no terrors.
Your ma iesty perhaps has never start
ed out on cold starlit evening with no
one in the sleigh but a very dear gentle
man friend then gentle horse, IA lone
some road through the stately and now
communicative trees, "A little propin-
guilty and one muff between you. All,
who shall say that even a crowned head
might not incline few degrees toward
the shoulder of truly noble being, and
who shall say that the noble being
would murmur if the royal dladems
and ruby prongs and things of the crown
jabbed him ever and anon under the ear?
Cool calculation comes with later
years and is confined more to widOwers
who dye their whiskers and Taise aspar
agus on the graves OF their former
wives, your majesty. Love, SO they tell
me, comes with the thrill of voice or
the touch of hand, not by cablegram
or messenger boy, your most gracious
majesty, though will admit that the
blown out squib of noble family, the
wet fizzle of vicious and blasted life,
may bring its ashes and unholy scars to
the altar with a degree of self possession
and calm that would astonish the trem-
bling groom of 20 who has to get mar
ried and hurry back to do the chores on
the farm. But the latter is more apt to
arouse a pleasing interest among the
angels.
believe that your most gracious maj
esty, queen of Great Britain and Ire
land and empress of India dia gracia,
will admit that most of the marriages
which come of d trapped Judgment and
cool deliberation increase the fuel bill
for the lake which burneth with fire.
Propinquity tempered by good early
training Is a great institution, and there
Is growing up here in America, your
majesty, girl whom we call "a good
Teller" who is a better comrade,
| wiser partner, a sweeter counselor and
a more level headed guide, philosopher
and friend than the best man on top of
sod. To associate with her is to get q
few notches higher socially than one
was before. 1t means post graduate
course in few branches of education
which the man about town thinks he
knows, but does not.
Your majesty will forgive me, l
know, for addressing one of the regina
type in this unfettered manner regard
ing great question, for it is my only
way of expression. A child of nature as
am and brought up by hand, deprived
of mothers care while yet at the age
Of 80 years, speak to you in that crude
style of eloquence peculiar to the Piutes,
| with whom l lived for many years, or
until the tribe got to wearing cavalry
! pantaloons to tea. Then left them and
went to live in New York city.
can only add that a more frank and
honest propinquity in England would be
good thing. 1t would advance the
common cause of humanity and give
the judges of the criminal court more
time to go fishing.
