For Married Folk

Few married couples have, either by nature or acquired habit, the bump of benevolence as highly developed as that friend of Douglas Jerrold's who would hold an umbrella over a duck in a shower of rain. But they should at least try to have enough tact, and patience, and good-sense illumined by grace, not to outrage each other's feelings or aggravate each other's failings during the year that is now young. We recommend them to keep before their mind's eye the following quaint advice of Dr. Parr : ' Married people should study each other's weak points, as -skaters look after -the weak parts of the ice, in order to keep off them.'
