While we are the frail, faulty human
creatures that we are, it is inevitable
that we should jar upon each other
somewhat with our failings.
Especially is this true of those who
live in the close intimacy of family
life, and more particularly in the mar
riage relation.
Love is not always blind. On the
contrary, the little god is sometimes
gifted or cursed-with preternaturally
clear sight. The closer we get to those
we love, the more fault We shall see
in them. What John and Mary con-
cealed from each other in counting days,
not by wilful deceit, but by that spon-
taneous tendency of lovers to be at their
best, is soon revealed in the merciless
light Of daily and almost hourly con-
! tact.
Then, too, the sharp eyes of love,
ever seeking for absolute perfection in
the object Of its affections, are more
likely to see flaws than is the casual OBJ
server. Just as the owner of valued
painting or priceless vase, having
studied its beauties lovingly day by
day, will be more quick to detect a
blemish on his cherished possession than
would mere disinterested spectator.
The little weaknesses that jar; the
graver faults that pain; the actual
| lapses that bitterly wound-all these
are apparent to none more clearly thar
to that one whose relation is most init
mate and tender of all. In the nature
Of things, it is unavoidable that sen
sitive being SO placed should suffer
keenly. And it is also inevitable-be
ing what we are-that fault should be
found with fault, wound suffer wound
and lapse be visited with a taking te
task.

brief sermonette, the purpose for which
it is written. It is an earnest exhor

EuaEN1E.s FORTUNE

It has over and over again been
stated Of late that Princess Ena OF
Battenberg will inherit large fortune
from the Empress Eugene, and one ro-
mancing journal announced that the
new Queen Of Spain will receive dot OF
50,000,000 francs from her godmother,
preposterous invention, which, however,
was accepted as fact by man OF the
Spanish newspapers.
The real fact is that the fortune OF
the Empress Eugene will be divided
at her death, one-half going to her
grand nephew, the Duke Of Albany,
and the other half to the Princes Victor
and Louis Napoleon.
