And there has been many as bright a anion Ciation, for instance, of the certain domestic

But these great, lazy masculine louts that stand around with hands in their pockets, allowing the wife with her weak arm to fight the battle of brea’, need to be regurgitated from society. There are in- numerable instances in these citiee, where the wife pays the rent and meets all the family expenses, and furnishes the tobacco and the beer for the lord of the household No wonder parents put on all the brakes to stop such a train of disaster. They have too often seen the gold ring put on the fin- ger at the altar turning out to be the iron link of a chain of domestic servitude. Wiat a farce it is for 2 man who cannot support himself, aud not worth aeent in the world, to take a ring which he pur- chased by money stolen from his grand- mother’s cupboard, and put it on the finger of the bride, saying, ** With this ring I thee fwed and with all my wo-ldty goods [ thee endow.” lt is amazing to see how some women

will marry men knowing nothing about them. No merchant or merchantess would sell a hundred dollars’ worth of goods on credit, without knowing whether the cus- tomer was worthy of being trusted. No man or woman would buy a house with en- cumberances of mortgages and liens and judgements against it uncancelled, and yet there is not an hour of the day or night for | the last ten years, there have not been | women by hasty marriage entrusting their learthly happiness tv wen about whose | honesty they ka w nothing, or who are j}encumbered with liens and judgements an | first mortgages and eecoad mortgages and i third mortgages of evil habits. No wonder | that in such circumstances parepts in con- | jJngating the verb in question, pass from the subjunctive mood to the indicative, and | from ihe indicative to the imperative. In | nearly all the cases of escapade that you | will hear of the rest of your lives,there wil! be a headlong leap over the barriers of paret- | tal common-sense and forethought, *‘Sivien waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he knowth not that the dead are there.”
