man who, when his dying wife advised
him to marry again after her death,
blubbered, in the midst of his tears,
NO, no. III have mistresses" The
queen of England commonly known
as Bloody Mary" wanted to marry an
English nobleman; but when she
found him preferring her sister, after
wards Queen Elizabeth, she chose
King Philip the Second, Of Spain, with
out. l believe, having ever seen him.
He had no use for her, and before long
deserted her. But she, poor thing. fell
deeply in love with him. Perhaps that
was because he burnt "heretics' in
Spain, while she burnt Protestants in
England; hating the same person or
thing very often makes two persons
very friendly to each other. Philip,
however, was too selfish brute to
love anybody.
When I was a young man. some 90
years ago, ladies iadulged in senti-
mental gush over three royal married
women-Mary Queen of Scots, Queen
Marie Antionette and Empress Jose
phine. None of the three was good
or useful woman or wife. The first
named was a bright woman; the other
two were silly; and all three were ut
terly selfish.
OF one thousand young women,
about nine hundred and ninety-nine
are looking forward quite hopefully to
marriage; and the thousandth one
comedies that, when the right man pre-
sents himself, he may persuade her.
And this propensity is all right, and a
blessing for us men. But most of them
are too keen for it, and accept a scrub.
.o- fear they'll not have better
chance. That precipitance may be
somewhat eXcusable in states where
divorces are easily obtained; but it is
very dangerous in South Carolina,
where divorce is not allowed. And,
anywhere, marriage is p very serious
thing-an awfully serious one.
