SAM JONES ON THE MARRIAGE TIE.

In his last letter to the Semi
Weekly journal of Atlanta, Sam
Jones discourses AS follows on the
marriage tie:
"Paul said: 1T is better to
marry than burn ] do not sup
pose he meant that all who did not
marry burned, but the man or
woman who has never enjoyed the
bliss of real married life eau never
develop the best rounded character,
but an old maids life or an old
bachelors life is "A thousand times
more preferable than "A mIsmatched
pair. Oh, the scandals, the heart
aches, the regrets, that come ont OF
life like that. How many heart
aches. mothers and fathers ana
friends have suffered because or
mismatched pairs among their emu
dren and those they love. Divorces
these days are as common as Pig
tracks, aud so much the worse for
society. Vienna, now IN the tbroes
of public scandal, enough to Startle
the world. Frequently we are
startled in America by social scan
dals enough to disgrace the nation,
but where married means mated
ones there is no more holy, divl-
ner relation in all the world, and
in the radius Of "A home like this
are made and matured the grandest
characters the world has ever
known.
1.-The test of love is sacrifice. In
other words. selfishness and love
cannot live beneath the same roof.
It is the self-dedicatory love-the
groom who gives himself to the
bride and the bride who gives her
self to the groom in elf-dedicatory
love will never disgrace home and
friends with divorce scandals and
martial rackets. Many man
has married a virago and a many a
woman has married a dog, but the
mistake was made in the beginning.
A man never turns to dog, it is
first a pup and then dog If the
woman who marries man is all
right she will make him good
wife; if she is not all right he
ought to have sense enough to see
it. Lucky chance has saved a
many a fellow more than his own
good judgment in choosing. Solo
msn said; 1T is better to dwell on
the housetop when the wind and
storm and rains blow on you than
to be within the house with a
brawling woman but woman
don't brawl long until her husband
begins to sing, and with the spirit
and with the understanding:
~ would not live always, ask not to
stay,
Where storm after storm rises lurid O.
