NERAL OBSERVATIONS
By W. H. T.
Well, here we are, nicely entered
foto site leafy' month of June -the
sxsoutb. in which the bride, !the June.
bride, abounds numerously in all her
gavel, sweetness. Of course, in
thie
monogamic country, there must
• -'fie an equal number of bridegroonts,
std, they have a right to mentioned,
4'tut they are mere men and men's
:rnglnt have taken second place to
esoei fn's t•iglets which have been so
:persistently and so noisily advocated
itis- our 'fair sisterhood. Nor have
-*hey advocated in vain for not only
?rave they secured the right to vote,
'int they have sueeeded in gaining
admission to positions and places,
which once were thought sacred to
,avan, from the.magistrate's .bench to
,a seat in the barber shop.
But to return to our subject, This
-month sees the culmination of many
:courtships, the goat to which many
couples, looked fortdard with ardent
joy as they passed unnlmbered hours
together in unalloyed 'happiness.
It is interesting to trace ka court-,
;ship 'front its beginning to the scene
.at the hynteuial altar. Not that
courtship' neeessarily ends when the
sctiptial knot is tied, There have' been
seas herons instances of married life
sit which all that rendered the hours
'before marriage so delightful, have
continued till death dissolved the
blissful tie.
There comes a time in a young
man's life when, of all his young
eady'friends, one •particularly appeals
lo him. A similarity of mind or
something not to ibe defined, first
Axes his attention. Her form, her
ifeatures, her •sweatuess of disposition,
and her good sense nttark her out
eo him as the one specimen of
tvoanankind with whom he would
:eater into the closest, the most 'en
-
/caring and the most enduring of
earthly relationships, and so it is
tot hong 'before he says to her in
effect: -
I've given my heart to you,
Oh, do give yours to me!
We'll lock them tip together,
Ansi throw away the key
With charming coyness she coin
aliies with his request, and the season
ins,
bliss begins,
g
The conduct of a youmo couple
cowards each other during the
;period of courtship should be mark-
ed by the utmost frankness and ab-
sence of affectation. But alas! we
fear that this is often not the case.
With their best attire which they
;ton when they are about to see
each other, they put on their best
manners and lay aside their natural
manners which they practice in the
aerdiniary affairs of life. Too =often
• they 'practice a good deal of simula-
tion and dis-simultrtion and make
every endeavor to please and to
-.vin; and it is not until after mar-
riage that they throw off the mask
and beome truly acquainted.
We believe, however, that most
-dung couples launch out nn the sea
cif matrimony hoping for, and con-
•Sdently expecting, a happy and pros-
serous voyage. Too great a dispar-
ery in physical size is not well in
married couples. How strange it
`<.ioke to see a woman of Amazonian
oroportions going about with a mere
midget of a man, or a man tall as a
"on of 1nak, having for a wife a
pocket edition of e woman. Listen
to the following wail of a poor
man whose wife towers ear above
:aim in space.
Of •ttedded bliss bards sing amiss
I cannot make a song of it;
lror,t am small, my wife is tall,
.and that', the ehort and long of it.
When we debate it is my fate
'To always have the wrong of it;.
For I am small and she is '.tall,
And that's the short and long of it.
She give:, to ice the weakest tea,
And takes the •whose Souchong of it;
For I am small and she is tall.
And that's the short and long of it.
_Against my life she'll take a knife
Or 'fork, and dart the prong of it,
For she is 'tali, and I am small.
And that's the short and Iong •of it.
Much more anight be said on this
interesting subject but we heave al-
teacly taken up too much space. We
doff our hat to the June bride. May
her brightest dreams become blessed
realities. We wish much joy to all
the young people entering into the
marriage state -which has been call-
ed,
"That sweet comingling of hearts,
Where changed as chemic compounds
are
Each with their own existence parts
To find another happier far."
With a 'quotation from Th'omson's.
Seasons, and another from Milton's
Paradise Lost, we will' close.
'O happy they! the happiest of their
kind;
'Whom gentle stars unite, and in one
fate
Their 'hearts, their 'fortunes, and 'their
beings blend,
'Tisnot the coarser 'tie of human
laws
Unnatural oft, and foreign to the
mind,
That binds their peace; but 'harmony
itself,
Attuning all their passions into love."
"Hail wedded love, mysterious law,
true 'course
Of human 'offspring, sole •propriety
Iax •pa edisc of all things common else,
,
By thee adulterous lust was drivn
from men •
Among 'the 'bestial herds' to range; by
hh ec
Pounded In reason, 'loyal, just, and
pure
Relations dear, and all the charities
Of father, son, and brother first Were
k,own."
