dence to make a Change from the most
careful Respect. to the most unbounded
Familiarity. Hence it arises That
Trifies are commonly Occasions of the
greatest Anxiety: for Contradiction be-
ing Thing wholly unusual between a
new married Couple, the smallest in
stance of it is taken for the highest
Injury; and it very seldom happens
That the Man is slow enough in as
Stunning the Character of an Husband
or the Woman quick enough in conde-
scending to that of Wife. 1t imme-
diately follows that they think they
have all the Time of their Courtship
been talking in Masks to each other,
and therefore begin to act like dsap-
pointed People. Philander finds Della

differed in their Opinions whether the
CLOCK should stand by the Window. or

70 you VINO are not a married Man,
When l tell you how the least Tri1e can
strike q Woman dumb for a Week to-
setner. But If you ever enter into this
state you will find that the soft Sex as
often express their Anger by obstinant
Glamour
Those indeed who begin this Course
OF Lire without Jars at their setting
out, arrive within a few months at q
pitch OF Benevolence and Affection
of which the most perfect Friendship is
but feint Resemblance; as in the un-
fortunate Marriage, the most minute
and Indifferent Things are the Objects
OF the sharpest Resentment; so in an
happy one they are the occasions OF
the most exquisite Satisfaction. For
what does not oblige in one we love?
What does not offend in one we dislike?
For these Reasons I take it for Rule
That in marriage the chief Business is
to acquire Profession in favor of each
other. They should consider one an
others Words and Actions with Sc
cret Indulgence. There should be al
ways an inward Fondness pleading for
each other such as may add new Beau
ties to every Thing that is excellent.
give Charms to what is Indifferent, and
cover every Thing that is defective.
For want of this kind Propensity and
B1ass of Mind, the married Pair often
take Things i'll of each other, which no
one else would take notice of in either
Of them.
But the most unhappy circum-
stance of all is, Where each Party is
always laying up Fuel for Dissension
ana gathering together a Magazine of
ProVocations to eXasperate each other
with when they are out of Humour.
Theze people in common Discourse
make no Scruple to let those who are
by know they are quarreling with one
another and think they are discreet
enough if they conceal from Company
the Matters which they are limiting at.
ABOUT a Week ago, l was entertained
Tor whole Dinner with mysterious
conversation of this Nature: out of
which could learn no more than that
the Husband and Wife were angry at
one another. We had no sooner sat
DOWN, but says the Gentleman of the
Rouse, in order to raise Discourse, I
