How careless the subject appears TO Dc
treated how lightly il is talked Of by young
men and women Of this day-and even how
thoughllessly they rush into its realities, as II
the future had no care. but as they live only
for the present. wildly and even madly men
retreat from the state Of singleness, to JOIN
themselves TO some worshipped idol Of their
hearts, alteration, still unconscious Of all that
moves and breathes about them. 1t can be
done in day--it can be done in an hour
but never to be sundered but by the cold and
icy hand Of death. The first thing always to
be considered should be domestic felicity
Where is the man that knows happiness in
the married state, that cannot really enjoy the
true pleasure of the domestic fre-side, where
he can retire from the busy scenes OF the
world, to be shut out from the din and hustle
of the busy and tumultuous city, with his lit
tie innocents to gather about him and with their
caresses, welcome him ence more TO his nap
py homestead; whilst his better halt, en-
ioying the love of Kim to whom she gave her
hand to be partner in either trouble or pros
perity has s'prepared the meal whereby they all.
amidst the innocent prattlings, may partake,
by the blessing Of Providence, OF what has been
bestowed upon them. This is surely happy
family.


But to reverse the picture.


Happiness exists not with the man who has
sought the fair hand OF blushing maiden and
has been sadly disappointed in the one Of his
choice; let us wander to that place-with its
iron railing encircling it about-let US make a
morning call; on entering, we find well fur
nished mansion, withits mirrors refecting i'm
ages from all sides, all that is needed has been
added to make the drawing rooms tasteful, but
no taste is there displayed; there is the wife
with morning gown thrown about her, re-
clining on the sofa, with one Of Bulwer's last
occupying her attention, with her hair dishev
eled she scarcely can observe the presence
visiter; and when recognised, begs to be ex-
cused, that she has been so interested with the
nouel, that she had quite forgotten her appear
ance, and with many vain excuses, so we leave
her. Can that husband experience true domes
tic felicity we presume not. Be careful, then
how you marry. Do not be too hasty, but Sc
lect one suitable to your condition.
