The wenknown saying, There ire n o friends like old friends is very
true: but few peope there are who, after marriage, make the most II their ola
friends and take the trouble to do all which they really might do to retain
them. At any rate, it will hardly be denied that few Benedcts IN do not
neglect their wives manage o keep up the intimate companionships OF their
bachelor days. For this, of course, there are various reasons.
/" For instance, marriage is often the occasion or removal to q Instant
neighborhood. Nothing, perhaps. tends to cut short old friendships quicker
than this. The young couple probably depart for their nw home with the
eood wishes presents, and even love Of a great number Of friends most or
whom in q few weeks will have almost forgotten the existence CT the happy
par. SO completely will they have dropped out Of the old circle. -

The Benedict and bachelor stand on a different footing. When q man IS

them, and in the latter case he must, of necessity, be far more critical in his
