VICAR’S MAXIMS.
TO THE NEWLY-MARRIED
A hint to prospective bridegrooms was given lately by the vicar of Brixton in addressing a large crowd in Brock well Park. "Whatever you do,” said the vicar, "don’t spoil everything on the wedding day by telling your wife what ripping tarts your mother makes. Swallow the bride’s pie ; tell her it’s a dream of delight, and then take a pill on the sly.
"When you marry a woman don’t imagine that you know her. You’d be a 100 lif you did. She knows you right enough or she wouldn’t marry you. Judge a person by intellect rather than bulk. I’d back Disraeli any day against Jack Johnson. Because a woman is well dressed it doesn’t follow that she is clever; some stylishly dressed women are fools. Don’t judge her by her lips or nose, or the quality of her dimples but by intelligence and goodness.”
