MARRIED YET IN LOVE.

It has been said that marriage is the door that leads deluded mortals back to earth, tmt this is by no means always the case. Certainly love may end with the honeymoon if people murry to gratify a "gunpowder passion" or for the sake of more outward beauty, which is like a glass, soon broken. Thats is a love that is feverish, viclout and full of profession; but, having gained its object, its force is so exhausted. It cannot enture in the hour of trial. If beauty, health and wealth should fall. it would fuit. How different is true love! It is sympathetic in every state. The rosy time 2493

of courtship is not degraded by its decline. When the flowers begin to fado, and when the winter of life is come it loves its object till life is extinct, and then it longs for reunion in u botter world. We are so often assured now-a- says that marriage is a fuilure that it was quite zefreshing to read lately a lottor in a newspaper which conclades as follows: "I have guns over the boundary line of fifty, my wife is fur years yanuger, and to-day she is "iny sweetheart, my wife, and she tells me I um still hur king

A friend was talking to Wordsworth of De. Quincey's articles about him. Wordsworth begged him to stop; he had not read them, and did not wish to raffle himself about then "Well," said the friend, "I'll tell you only one thing he says, and then we'll talk of other things. He says your wife is too good for you." The old poet's dim eyes lighted up and he started from his chair, crying with enthusiasm:"And that's true her he's right!" his disgust and contempt risibly moderating.

It is true that the enemies of the former said that he preferred the company of aristocrats to that of his wife, but this was a calumny, Whatover amusement he might find in the grand Society in which ko mixed; he always roturned to his wife "his Bessie" and children with a fresh feeling of delight.

After twenty-eight years' experience, Faraday spoke of his marriage as an erant which, more than any other, had contributed to his earthly happiness and healthy state of mind- Forty-six years the union continued unbroken; the love of the old man remaining as fresh, as earnest, and as whole-hearted as in the days of science, James Nasmyth, the inventor of the steam-hammer, had a similar happy experidaco.
