The singular Ioveliness of Bessie Sur
tees of Newcastle won the heart OF a bar
rister called John Scott ana the young
DeoDle ran away and were married. At
first it did not look as if this were case
of a face making fortune, Tor on the
third dav after their union their funds
were exhausted, they had not home TO
go to. and they did not know whether
their friends would ever speak to them
again. If, however, the early NE OF
Mrs Scott was a struggle, she was re-
warded when she saw her husband take
his seat upon the wool-sack and become
Lord EldOn. That this was due largely
to her was shown by the words when
the king used after giving the great seal
into Lord Eldons hands. Give my re-
membrance" he said to Lady EldOn." =
The chancellor acknowledged the conde.
scension, but intimated his ignorance of
Lady Eldon'S claim to SUCH notice. eS, 1
yes" the king answered. Il know how
much / owe to Lady Eldon. know you
rate, and that she has made you my (
lord chancellor"
Daniel o'Connell.
For forty-three years the great lawyer /
and agitator, Daniel OConnell, poured /
out his heart TO his wife, like a school |
boy in love for the first time. His nrSt |
thoughts were always of her; and neither
the lapse of years nor the tremendous 3
pressure of his profession ana poltlcal
engagements seems ever to have prevent
ed his writing regularly to her-letters
which in later years he used to call the
love letters of your old husband"
The contemplation Of natures calm and
orderly work would seem to have a
soothing influence upon her students, II
we may judge from the domestic life of
some of the most celebrated of them.
After twenty-eight years experience,
Faraday spoke of his marriage as an
event which, more than any other, had
contributed to his earthly happiness and
healthy state of mind. Speaking of his
wife. James Nasmyth, the inventor OF
he steam hammer, said: "Forty-tWo years
IF married life find US the same devoted
cronleS' that we were at the beginning.
1t is pleasant to find harmony in the
house of a great musical composer as well
IS in his compositions. There was no
1iScordant note in the matrimonial duet
which Mozart and his wife played to-
yether. For years she was an invalid,
and he used to write by her bedside while
she slept. When he went out in the morn
ng for a ride, he would steal softly into
Ter room and leave a tender note to
greet her waking. Here is one of them:
- wish you a good morning, my dear
little wife. / hope you have slept well
IND that nothing has disturbed your re-
pose. Be careful not to take cold not to |
Use too quickly, not to stoop, not to
each for anything, not to be angry with
he servant. Take care also not to fall :
lpon the threshold in passing from one
DOM TO another. Keep all domestic
rOubes till l come, which will be soon"
Human nature has, perhaps never be-
ore presented the spectacle of a man of !
