whether marriage IS or Is not fail
ure has now beer under more or less
discussion for more than eight years
past, and though i, seems as far
from settlement as ever, it hasn't been
worn completely thread bare. It has
occurred to me that if all the men
who marry were SO fortunate as to Sc
cure the right kind of a wife, mar
rage could not possibly be failure,
but in all cases would be what young
reporter of my acquaintance sent to
write up his first small wedding de-
scribed as can unmitigated success. -
To find out just what. the right kind Of
wife is the following expressions Of
opinion have been elected from the
distinguished gentlemen whose names
arc appended to them:
REV. A. ]. ROWLAND's VIEWS.
Rev. A. ]. Rowland, of Baltimore,
is widely known throughout the Bap
tist Church in both hemispheres as one
of the wisest, ablest and most eloquent
clergyman of that denomination. He
writes very sensibly as follows:
Almost all young people expect to
marry some time. OF course it is not
absolutely necessary that they should
marry, but as matter of fact, they al
most all of them do. In view of this
fact. therefore, it becomes very impor-
tant that they should all consider such
subject as you propose. Your ques-
ton as to what is the right kind Of
wife is, is equally important - young

people Of both sexes. Young men,
anxious to marry are naturally des!-
rous of securing wife Of the right
kind, and young women anxious to
marry, are naturally deslrous 10 show
themselves capable OF being wives OF
the right kind in order ;hat the young
men will be likely to choose them for
their life partners.
Nowadays the trouble with marriage
is that it is too often based on mere
sentiment. At a picnic or some
other festivity young man meets
Young woman charmingly attred,
and Immediately fancies himself des-
perately in love with her. He, too,
is looking his best and she is snltten
with him. He calls Oh her a few
times, always striving to appear u the
best possible advantage, as does she
also. He acts as her escor; teW
times to church and public entertain
ments, then he proposes and IS &C
cepted, with the result that 4 wedding
soon follows. Neither had made .s.e
slightest attempt 10 @Iaiyze the char
acter, disposition OF temperament OF
the other. Entirely forgetting that
admirable saying of Charles Dickens
| that "there is no disparity IN mar
rage equal 10 unsuitability OF mind
and purpose, they are wholly lgno-
| rant as to whether there Il or IS not
any real adap,ability between them.
Neither of them has ever calmly and
soberly considered the condition and
circumsta noes Of the case to deter
! mine whether or not their marriage Is
likely to prove happy one. 1t ad-
vised to do ali this the reply OF most
young couples ben. on marriage would

sion. We think we lik= each ether

for the time being, let the consequence:

or husbands either.

must be afraid to walk by himself.
Gods love is something we can
never buy or lose.
Love never turns back because it
hears a lion roar.
No one who is fit for Heaven wants
to go there alone.

1t takes good deal of grace to

Whenever we are willing TO do

the spring Of perpetual comfort and
joy. If young women would value
their present and eternal interests as
they ought, they will strive to BE,
when marriage comes, the right kind
of wives. If young men would save
themselves from life's worst burdens
and troubles, they will be very careful
to secure the right sort Of wives II
all ages of the world there have been
many men who have regarded as the
right kind OF wives women who pos
sess beauty or accomplishments vr
money or all three Now, these things
are all we'll enough as far as they go.
A beautiful picture is always a de
lIghtful thing to contemplate, and if
we have that picture living reality in
the shape of beautiful! wife presiding
over our home and smiling at us from
the head of our table, we may consider
ourselves fortunate. Then again, We
shall feel proud and blest in possessing
a wife who is a great musician, skill
ful painter, or who possesses some bril-
liant accomplishment which is source
Of pleasure and profit to herself and
others. Money, too, is a craved thing,
not for the sordid dross, but for the
noble things it can do, and no sensi-
bic man would think less OF a wife be
cause she brought him an abundance
of this worlds goods. But no one of
these things, nor all three together, can
be sufficient in themselves TO make a
woman the right kind of wife.

TALMAGE QUOTES SOLOMON.

Rev. I. Dewitt Talmage, the IA
u.ous pulpit orator, SO long Of Brook
lyn, but now of Washington, requires
no introduction to American readers,
and his subjoined remarks will be
read with special interest:
Just as many people get married
now as ever did and it is something
that will never 60 out of fashion. Fast
men may rave against it, crack Drained
noveiistc may write against It and NOR
bid souls may mourn over it. But ever
since the first marriage in the garden
of Eden we have all had more or less
Of an inclination to 60 and do like
wise. Solomon has drawn the follow
ing picture of the right kind Of wife,
and it would be US :less to attempt TO
try to improve upon it. 1t is found
in the 31st chapter of the Book of
Proverbs:
The heart of the husband doth safe
ly trust in her, so that be shalt have no
need 0! Spoil.
She will do him good and no, evil
al! the days o! her life.
She seekerh wool and AK aud work
eth willingly with her hanoS.
She is like the merchants sh ps; she
brlngeth her food from aiar.
She rlseth VII, :. II Is yet nigh, and
giyeth meat H. tl>: household and d
portion TO her y. ,iens.
She consider, :. field and bu, t h
it. With the fruit Of her hands she
plan,eth vineyard.
She girdeth her loins with strength
and streDgiheneth her arms.
She perceiveth that her merchandise
is good; her candle goeth not out by
| night.
She laye,h her hands to the spindle
| and her hands holds the distaff.
She stre,cheth out her hands to The
poor; yes she reacheth out her hand to
the needy.
She is not afraid Of the snow for her
household; for her household are
| clothed with scarlet.
J She maketh herself coverings OF tap
es,ry; her clothing is silk and purple
Her husband is known in the gate:
when he sit,eth among the elders OF

She maketh fine linen and seile,i

merchants.
Strength and honor are her Clothing
and she shall rejoice in time to come

gress) would make him in importance
to the public OILY second TO the Presi-
dent' and would always secure a nom
lnee of sufficient prominence and abil.
lty, to be the equal in every respect of
the Presidential nominee. Furthermore
the Presidents salary has been raised
to $50, 700, with furnished residence,
besides the payment of all expenses,
which makes his real cost to the nation
near a quarter of million per annum,
while the salary of the Vice e-Presi1ent
has remained at the sum fixed one
hundred years ago Of 5000, without
residence or any appointing power, be-
yond private secretary, which is pos
sessed now by every member of each
house OF Congress. The gulf fixed be-
tween the first and second officer of
the government is too great. The ex-
penses laVlshed on the President can
be materially curtailed, while if the
Vlce-President is vested ex-officio with
the supervision of the State Com
merce of the country, it will be neces-
sary that he, as we'll as the President,
should reside at the capital, and he
should be furnished with a public resi-
dence and his salary augmented out of
portion Of the sums which can be
curtailed from the annual appropria-
tions voted for the attendance upon
the President.
BY measure of this kind the Vice
President can be made really useful
and an integral part of the govern
ment, second only to the President in
Importance, and it would justify an
appropriate salary. This will always
secure the nomination as Vice-Presi-
dent of men of the same shade of po-
litical opinion as the President and of
like importance and ability. Should
there be vacancy in the office of Vice
President by his promotion, death, re-
moval or resignation, the statute should
in that event confer upon the Presi-
dent the power to appoint a Secretary
Of Interstate Commerce pro tenn,
subject to confirmation by the Senate,
like other secretaries, but possessing
the premiership of the cabinet, with
the right of presiding at cabinet meet
ings in the absence of the President in
