Few great men have paid more en-
thusiastic tributes to their wives than
Tom Hood, and probably few wives
have better deserved such homage.
You will think" he wrote to her in
one of his letters, that | am more
foolish than any boy lover; and
plead guilty. For never was a wooer
so young of heart and so stepped in
love as |; but it is love sanctlfed
and strengthened by long years of
experience. May God ever bless my
darling-the sweetest, most helpful
angel who ever stopped to bless a
man" Has there ever, we wonder,
lived a wife, to whom more delicate
and beautiful tribute was paid than
those verses, of which the burden is,
81 love thee, love thee, tbs all that l
can say"
Il want thee much Nathaniel Haw-
thorne wrote to his wife, many years
after his long patience had won for
him the flower that was lent from
heaven to show the possibilities of
the human scaakSs.""Thou are the only
person in ths,saorld that ever was
necessary to. mesSAnd now l am only
myself when thou art within my reach.
Thou art an sunspeakably beloved
woman"
Sophia Hawthorne was little better
than chronic invalid and it may be
hot nh
the deep chivalry and tenderness of
the man. And he reaped a rich re-
ward for an almost unrivaled devo-
ton in the atmosphere of love and
happiness and inspiration" with which
his delicate wife always surrounded
him.
The welded life OF Wordsworth with
his cousin, "the phantom of delight, "
was a poem more exquisitely beautiful
than any his pen ever wrote. Mrs
Wordsworth was never fair to look
upon, but she had that priceless and
rarer beauty of soul which made heI
life "a center of sweetness" to al
around her. "All that she has beer
to me-" the poet once said in his lat
ter days, "none but God and mysel
can ever know; and 1t would be dit
ficult to find a more touching an
beautiful picture in the gallery o
great mems lives than that Of Words
worth and his wife, both bowed unde

sorption and tender confidence OF
youthful lovers"
1t never needed "the welding touch
of. a great sorrow" to make the lives
of Archbishop TAFT and his devoted
wife "a perfect whole" Speaking OF
her many years after she had been
taken from him, he said: ITO part
from her, IL only for day, was pain
only less intense than the pleasure
with which | returned to her; and
when | took her with me 1t was one
of the purest joys given to man to
watch the meeting between her and
our children"
When David Livingstone had passed
his thirtieth birthday with barely
thought for such IAN indulgence as
wooing and wedding" he declared
humorously that when he was little
less busy he would send home an ad-
vertisement fer a wife, preferably a
decent sort of widow" and yet so UNI
consciously near was his fate that
only a year laterhe was introducing
his bride, rys'Aioffat, to the home
he had built, largely with his own
hands, at Mabotsa. From that "su-
premely happy hour. to the day when,
eighteen years later, he received her
last faint whisperings" at Shupanga,
no man ever had more self-sacri-
ficing, brave. devoted wife than the
missionary's daughter.
In fact, they were more like two
happy, light-hearted children thar Sc
date married folk. and under the
magic of their merriment the hard
ships and dangers of life in the heart
of the dark continent we're stripped OF
all their terrors
Jean Paul Richter confessed that
he never even suspected the potential
tiles of human happiness until he met
Caroline Mayer, that sweetest and
most gifted of women" when he was
fast approaching his fortieth year;
and that he had no monopoly OF the
resultant happiness is proved by his
wifes declaration that Richter is the
purest. the holiest, the most godlike
man that lives. To be the
wife of such man Is the greatest
glory that can fall to woman; while
! of his wife Richter once wrote: f"l
thought when | married her that
had sounded the depths of human
love; but | have since realized how
unbelievable is the heart in which Q
noble woman has her shrine"
