IHE WEDDED LIFE.
BY MRS. SANFORH.
The fiist yetr ofa young womnn's
wedded life is generally the most un
happy, and the most trying one she ex
periences. However intensely we
"ay have studied the character of our
affianced, in all its narrow windings,
still shall we find, whea we become
wives, that we have yet something
to learo. By actions are the affec
tions on either side shown, and al

ot woman to manifest her devoted

Love's Mutations.
I do not love thee now a once I did.
Although thy love, they say, is still unchanged;
ic Happier, anti we may tor a
moment wuh they were so, but we
, shail restrain so selfish a desire, if we
reflect how much more unfit they
would be by such a consiiiuiion to
bear the crosses and the buffets of the
woild.
It is said that lovers' ouarrels are
but the renewal of love, but it is not
so in truth. Continued differences
and bickerings will undermine the
strongest affection, and a wife cannot
be too careful to avoid disputes uoon
the most trival subject; indeed, it is
the every day occurrences which trv
the love and temper of the married i
''; itreat occasions lor ouarroli sel
dom occur; every wish, every preju
dice must meet with attention, and
the first thought of a woman should
be the pleasing and providing for her
husiiatid. It is impossible to enumer
ate all the little incidents which may
annoy married men, or the little, tin-

And all thv wcrds to me agin are spoken

As if love's golden chain were still unbroken
As if I still " gai ng on thy smite.
And thou with thy tuod look stood rapt the
while.
I do not say if thou should'st e'er return.
That I could love thee as in days gone by.
And yet within the spirit's inmost urn.
The ember efthal love t-t'll smouldering lie.
But all teo slight the warmth that they retain.
For even thy presence to restore again.
I do not ask thee now to think of me,
Save as a friend whose best heart wishes are
That sunny daya may ever shine en thee.
And that some naidea in thy home afar, -
When from thy heart thy first love is removed
May lore thee tenderly as once I loved.

Some women, in order to win back
iheir husband's wandering love, have
recourse to attempt to amuse hi
jealousy; but Inevare much, mistaken
in pursuinz such a course. A man,
however debased his conduct, never
entirely forgets the love he once bore
to ihe wife of his youth; there are
moments when feelings of tenderness
for Iter will return with force to his
heart; to reip the benefits of such
moments, the injured, forgiving wife,
must still be enshrined in the purity
ol former times. A husband will ex
cuse hislault to himself; and, in some
measure, stand exonerated in the
world, if the wife relax in tlie pro
priety of her conduci; while on the
contrary, the gentle forbearance, ihe
unoomulairiinif patience, and ihe un-
nb'rtiMve rectitude of the woman he
injures, will deeply strike to Ins heart,
ind do much to w in htm back to ins
fnrmpr love, nnd the observance ol
the vows he breathed at the nltar
where his heart was devoted to the
beintr from whom lie has wandered.
A kind look, an alleciionaie expres

Where was then the gentleman!"-
Let any man watch the movements
of society, with the disposition and
ability to trace the relation of cause
and eflect, and I am quite sure that
he will be led to one conclusion, viz:
that most of the broils, street fights,
duels, and other outrages that infest
society, aitd spurn all cecencv, ori-
ginate with a particular class of men
ruffians and blackguards, claiming
to be -gentlemen." And the process

being without property, he may some

wealthy family. He nt once sets up
for a "gentleman." His claims, per

Wealth, or the. appearance of it. is

those w ho loathe the process by which

after a de-perate resistance, and sen
