INITIAL CONSIDERATIONS.

you can't expect such love az that

tered 10y worldly aud practical people.
Frequently these prophets are any
thing but infalliblc in their predictions
but alas, 1t is but natural that love
should not retain all the ardent, pas
sionate element that made the heart
paIpitate and the face change color
during the courtship days. but it be-
comes none the less sincere and con-
slant As mercy tempers justice, so
marriage tempers love. says Mrs. c..
Blake in the American Queen.
A long, happy courtship is not an
infallible test of true love- nor is it
a criterion for its permancnCy. 1t is
the actual experience after marriage,
the acquaintance with the worries and
troubles of married life. that decide
the matter. The survival Of love after
marriage depends upon both husband
ana wife, it depends upon the quail
ties. the powers OF realization, and, TO
a great extent, the home training of
each. Sensible. thoughtful young peo-
pie should not treat the subject of
marriage lightly, as a mere diversion.
