I wish to say to farmers particularly, who wish tc buy llappy despite his little woes. Were he but conscious of his joy; " Wherever," says Gail Hamilton, " man pays reverence to woman—wherever any man feels the influence of any woman, purifying, chastening, abashing, strengthening him against temptation, shielding him from evil, ministering to his self-resp ict, medicining his weariness, peopleing his solitude winning him from sordid prizes, enlivening his monotonous day* with mirth, or fancy, or wit, flashing heaven upon his earth, and mellowing it all for spiritual fertility—there is the element of marriage. Wherever woman pays reverence to man—wherever any woman rejoices in the strength of any man, feels it to be God's agent upholding her weakness, confirming her purpose, and crowning her power; wherever he reveals himself to her, just, upright, inflexible, yet tolerant, merciful, benignant, not unruffled, perhaps, but not overcome by the world's turbulence, and responding to all her gentleness, his feet on the earth; his head among the stars, helping her to hold her soul steadfast in right, to stand firm against the encroachment of frivolity, vanity, impatience, fatigue, ani discouragement, helping to preserve her good nature, to develope her eneregy, tQ consolidate her thought, to utilise her benevolence, to exalt and illumine her life—there is the esscnce of marriage. In love is founded on respect, and increase.-] self-respect at every moment of merging self in another. Its love is mutual, equally giving and receiving at every instant of its action. There is neither dependenca nor independence, but interdependence. Years cannot weaken its bonds, distanco cannot sunder them. It is love which vanquishes the grave, and transfigures death itself into life." •Collect To be, in abort, from two to ten, A merry, moody child; and then ?
