HE MARRIED FOR LOVE.
The man who has married for lore is a happy fellow. He is generally cheerful, and always thinking of the dear ones at home. He prefers to live out of town for the sake of his children. He is rarely late at business, rises early, gardens a little, eafl,»hearty breakfast, and goes to the necessary; labour witha.light heart .and a clean>! conscience.; He often brings home Burjln«eß forTiis wife and children. You may feeogvise -him loaded with parcels which be g<»od-naturedly;carries with perfect unconcern of what'others thihk—a ,< new, bonnet,, music, books, a cloak for his ■■'wife, while In another parcel the wheels of a cart, a jaek-ia the box, a doll, or a ' V skipping rope protrude through the paper, and suggest the nursery. He is brave and kind, though he. makes no noise in • the world. The humanising influence of that' darling red-cheeked little fellow who calls him father brings a glow of rapture of the purest pleasure earth - holds; for the man who lifts never felt a tiny hand clash his will always lack something—he will be less human, less, blessed than others. .This is the noble, the honest, the only form of life that imparts real contentment and ■ joy,, that will make a death-bed glorious, and love to see peace through its tears. It i is rso purely unselfish, so tenderly true; it satisfies the highest instincts. It stimulates men to the best deeds they are 'capable of.
