The first thing in the programme was a brief speech by one of the managers. It appeared from this that tho Executive Committee has helped to start similar societies in Milwaukee and Ht. Louis, and is now attempting to do tho some good work in Cincinnati and Now York. An allu sion to the opening of the Exposition Art Ooi lory on Sunday waa greeted with voclfocoua ap plause. Tlio orator of tho day, tho llov. llobort Collycr. spoke as follows: I Huppoflo you must all imvti seen tho curious correspondence in our papers about marriage, and wondered over it as one of tho signs of the times, while (hose who have given tho matter epocial attention must have felt that tho ques tion has caught a now interest from tho fact that It has been taken out of tho hands of preachers and philosophers and turned over to those who have a story to toll of liopo or fear right out of their own life, while as yet tho morning dew is or ought to boos fresh as heaven on their wbolo existence. Imu very glad for ouo to hoar theso confessions when thoy uro truo to tho young man or woman who makes them, though thoy may not bo true at all to the truth and lifo they try to fathom, because it is always best to know alt that can bo known of tho shal lows that lie about tlio haven out of wbicli a now generation has to pick its way, anti the (loops, that are only deep ns quicksands are, as well as tho stcadv channels which are sure to carry ua Into the wide ocean, and givo us n fair chance of making bur voyage to tho eternal homo. And wo have no right lo insult those yonng people with tho suspicion that they are not mak- A CLEAN imCABT OF IT, or only want to see how some moro notion will look in print, or do not caro to solve this prob lem la tho ono way which will best bring out tho whole wutlb of tboir lifo. Ono cannot but fool (hat some of them are in ox&clly (bat danger Jesus pointed out >ybon Hoaatd; “If tbo light that is in thoo bo dark, how great is that darkness I” Hut wo must credit them with a sincere desire to givo us all tho lightthorois in them; and when they toll us of the grief they havo como to already, either iu toorebing for a helpmeet, or in finding ono. as they thought, and then breaking down iu tho first years of tboic married lifo into something like despair, wo must bellovo thorn again, be cause some of tboir confessions arose pathetic that they scorn to bo written with an ink blended Of their blood and tears. Wo may say that such confessions aro remote from our experience be cause wo have had a happier fortune, or that young moo and women had no such troubles when wo wore young, and that may bo Into, Yet here they aro, tho obildreu of tho now time, <vad the better time, as wo behove, TRYING TO SOLVE A PROBLEM by hard thinking that most of us who aro of mid dle ago solved through a revelation that stormed tor nature, made tho darkness as light about os, transfigured tbo world for us wbilo tho glamour lasted, and so settled too matter for us tkkt, after all the years which havo como and gone, wo havo to say it was tho gift of God. Tbo elder folk may also wonder what kind of world (bis is tho young peoplo are living in, and whether tbo old, splendid passion, that pmdo inch havoc of them when tho right man or wo man came, is dying down into a cool calculation as to whether it will pay, lu which you do not lose either your bead or your heart, aud whether the young god, instead of being pictured as blind, according to tbo Greeks, and innocent os a bsbv, with ail bis mischief, should not bo pictured as very wldo-uvy»ko. This seems to bp the way they look at this matter now, but tboro was a timo wo can well remember wbon the elder generation held the scales of prudouco lad forethought, aud got but little (banks for It, while tho younger men and women would storm them with entreaties to let them follow tho hoart they bad lost, and tako tboir ohanco of loss or giiu: would get their own wav at last as thoy always do, for tpo key to our heart ia never In oar own keeping ; would mako tbofr vows and build np tho homo out of which tho children have comowhohavo done tho grandest stroke of Berk within the lost twenty years that was ovor done in tbo world, in my opinion, aud find, when tbeir silver wedding came round, that about tbo Biceet thing they overdid was tho foolish act of following that puro, deop instinct wherever it bight load thorn. We may well womietvalso WHAT THESE NEW IDEAS ARE CODING TO, if thorovor win tbeir way to a general accept ance. For as they cannot escape tbo truth that one noble end of our blessed lilo Is to raise up *Qch a family as it may please God to givo ps, while those who aro'so nrndent that they daro Bot run tbe risk of marriage and a family would have on empty world behind them if all young (Mu am] women were of tbeir mind, so I'think they cannot escape tbo conclusion that if their bru fathers and mothers hod been of (heir curl ew quality, and bad not darod to tako those Am and mako the best of them, thoy them selves would not have been hero to (each us this Sew lesson.

Bo thoy put tlio vision of llio home away and try to forgot it, because they argue that if llioro is only Just enough for nun, there cannot bo more than liolf enough for two. It is true, no doubt again, that tup. tbainino nr oru fiAt;oim:nw in these great now cities especially ban drifted away from the traditions of tlio country homos in which their mothers were trained, whore they were taught to do everything wo hire done in our city homos, and to do it a good deal hotter than it can bo done by tlio loose, shambling help wo generally get. and so to bo mlstrcsa of tho situation when tlio time camo, and to know bo sldo how to got tlio full worth as thoy do in Franco out of a bushel of coals and a dol lar’s worth of provision, without losing tho pres ence and dignity of tho Indy of tlio household. I was talking to one of theso ladies tho other day, who had no Idea that i was wanting some tiling for a lecture. Wo went over ibis pnnciplo of a true household training for our daughters. Hho told mo bow bor mother gave tlio whole charge of their old homo into tier bands for a certain length of tlmo, showing her, when tho need enmo. bow a tiling should bo dono, and bow fruitful she bad found tills training for good in her hfo as n wife and mother; ami then how, not long ago. being sick, slio found when she got well tliHt her homo bad lost what I will venture to call its perfect bloom of sweet ness and light, and almost despaired of being able to make her help see whore the trouble lay. Then the old instinct cuino up of doing it herself. Hho wont through the work with tho help look ing on. revealed the fine touch of perfection as Hunt would in painting a picture before ilia class, and the help caught it, being of that gra cious sort that would rather learn to do right than perpetrate its wrong lu another household, and the result was that she got things mcnoutly entirely to liormmd. There is whore. I fear. tiir «r.sT op oun noon oiw-s awe mishino it to-day in this city. The whole secret of such a homo as I sal in that evening should bo in their nature when they leave the old nest, as the oak is lu tho acoin, and should ho ready lo spring into Uio light; while, instead of that, von will find a host of things that arc only of a secondary uuO'—Urtcful nb » cloan glove is on a soiled nau J. —and so, instead of being mistress of the situa tion. she is tho servant of tho woman who con descends to accept tho situation, until at last, because she has no oil in her vessel with her lamp, tho lamp goes out when tho cry Is hoard, iktliold tho bridegroom comoth, go ye out to moot him. Now, no young man will take a wlfo of this sort except ho feels euro that her womanhood will lie ample enough and pure enough to riso to tho lovcl nf the now demand, and I don't blame him. Neither wilt pueh a woman take a man who boa ou!y Just enough to pay his own wav, except she believes that tho now domain! will open now sources of power in bin), now springs of action and endeavor, and slop Homo leaks of spending to no purpose, nml I don’t blame bor so long as both the man ami woman look at Um question in this light of hal tering themselves in fortune as in every other noble way by taking this stop. Hho must have money, and ho mustlmvo a wife who knows the worth of money, and can transform it through a close margin into such a homo as they ought to hvo In, and sa long as thoy are free from Unit glamour of true love by which all tilings are possible to them that believe, there is no more to bo said. Tliov have not oven tho condition of comradeship between them through which a man and woman will sometimes got along very well when nil other things chime. lot nlouo that love which licarolh all things, holier otb all tilings, liatoth all things, amt never fail olh though the very stars fail out of heaven. Cut if I could believe that these reasons, with others I must not touch in this lecture, wore cer tain to bo a bar to marriage with tho groat ma ioiily of the new gouoraUon, I should fuel sure, loyoml a pcradvoinuro, that tho American, as wo proudly call him,—as If wo owned tho wbolo con tinent,— UAD SCUM nis BEST DAYS and must dio of a rapid consumption in tho bloom of youth, so that somo sturdier mid deeper roan might take hia place and hold this grandest of all tho contiuo'uls to its high pur pose. For tho stout old Homan kind was not more surely dying out when (ho Ciusars tried to compel tho young men to marry, and had to givo up tho task as hopeless for reasons wonder fully like those wo aro hearing now, than wo should dio out if thoso reasons should bold good: bat that they will not bold good in our case I fool sure on iboso wide and trao promises. First of all, this Tuoton, as tho scientists call him, to whoso family ho belongs and who has thn real possession of this laud and has so far written its history in his blood when ho had to, has never dona such a thing sinco wo first hoard of him. Ho is tho homo-loyiug and homo making man, puro and simple; tho man with ono wifo and no moro; tho man with a family at hie back, and wifo who helps him to fight his battles, and holds him up to the lino of his manhood, and who as tho woman of tho race never drags him down, but wbon ho falls picks him up, clcaus him from tho miro, and makes a man of him again. If thoro is ono largo clear truth about our kind you' havo' it in that sen tence, and It holds us to this conclusion that wo can no moro fail oat of tho world than tho chil dren of Abraham can. Where wo go thoro wo make a homo and roiso a family, and in tbo course of timo coma out a nation. It is bred iu tho bono of us. Wo scale up and down from Prince to peasant and from peasant to Prince, but that is tbo truth about tho raco. Wo havo como hero to do wh&t wo havo dono olhor whoroa, and wo cannot oscapo our destiny while thoso who daro not or will not bo true to that destiny for fear tbo world will fail them will havo to go to another world whoro tboro is no marrying and giving iu marriage, and eoo bow they havo lost ouo good chanco. 1 tako tho question again on tho ground that, with such a raco, no matter what tho transient trouble may bo, (bo old secret of a lovo that will storm us when It comes, out of all our cool cal culations as to whether wo can livo on so much a year, aud whether tho men can make It or tho womap mako it do, and swoop us into this holy estate as the tides boar a good ship out to sea, is no moro to bo questioned in tho now timo than It has boon in tbo old. IT WILL COMB TO TUB GREAT MAJORITY of young men and women who aro making this outcry, and mako their reasons of no moro ac count than tbo winged thistle-down -is against Gibraltar, because lovo, as Thomas Carlyle says, “is not altogether a doliduui, though it has many points common therewith; it israthora discerning of tho infinite in tho finite of the idea made real." Bo hero again is (ho bona of tbo now ago In connection wltu our race. Tho old spoil is on it wbon all is eald and dono, and this cur rent of opposittou is no more than tho little stream I have boon watching this summer closo to where wo wore living. It was ou tidewater, aud when tbo tide wont down it would como bubbling over tho stones as if It bvd gotten tbo whole secret of tbo world in iu heart. Hut by and by tbo tido would turn and croop up toward tbo little waterfall, atop tho noiso, turn tho Stream with a roar, at last brim ovor tho mud banks into tbo meadows, rush up to tho mills and (urn tho wheels, aud sot all tho llttlo indus tries humming through tho summer day like so many bees. Thoro is whoro Heaven has us, as when wo grow too anxious about earth, and (hero is whoro tho power comes in to meet (lie now demand. 1 know » young man iu (his citv who was raised iu (his lino way which makes so many young men weigh theso matters through tboir whole youth aud curly prime, and then, perhaps, make a fatal mistake. Ho was smitten In this way; bis family said no, and ho bad nothing in tho world but a ooliogo education and bis manhood to depend on. Ho got married ou that and took bis chances. Tbo old people did not help (horn, and they did not ask for help. Thoy lived in ono room at first ou $6 a wook. and fought tboir way to $lO. Bho took hold with him when her cares as a mother would let her, aud then thoy fought tboir way to S2O. Titov havo boon married live years, and now tboir Income is £lO u week and tbo ono room has grown to throe; but they lay up mouoy steadily, and sco tboir way, ploaso God, to something hko aflluonco. Lot mo givo you another instance. I had a letter tho other day from our old homo iu Penn sylvania, tolling mo of tho death of a dear friend who used bo a mom bee of my class. Bho died in groat peace after a wedded lifo of fifty-four years. Tboro was not a sweeter homo than theirs on tho earth, or ono moro perfectly managed. Bho was raised in tbo Bouth, aud (old my wito ouo day that when she was married sho hardly know how to turn her hand to anything a woman must do in her homo. Hut this tide had caught them with its might, aud she went to work to loam how to keep house wbilo tho young husband was gathering his country practice, and now herdays aro ended tu pure honor aud esteem, and hor children riso up to call her blessed. And so, if it was fitting, X might goon tu open (bis truth to you with almost endless illustration, but there is the heart aud nerve of it. This true love tn tbo man and woman can yiout tub wom.u and master It on f 5 a week iu uuo back room, when you have bcou living in a mansion and have all the tastes of high culture to dis turb your- poor little place. It oau make up for lost time lu a woman who really sots her heart ou it, until those who predicted rum to the man who married her boar the voice say. “1 will give unto those lost oven as nolo thee.*' lam not talking sentiment when 1 say tho heart has a great deal mure to do with this question than the head- J am talking out of THE CIHCAGO TRIBUNK: MONDAY.

Jhit lam sure that this ijtjcation will be aoived in the emp true wav finally for a more sacred reason than any 1 have given, tins, namely, that HEAVEN IS Ad DEKI’t.T INTERESTED IN IT os wo can bo, ami is sure at last to carry the day. 1 believe in this Teutonic kind, as 1 have said, as it centres for us in tho English and the Hermans in their far-reaching love of homo, their pride in a nuhlo familv. ami their primitive reverence tor the sanctity of the sign by which one man chooses one woman out of all the world so long as they belli do Iho. I believe, also, wpl'a per fect trust, in the unworn freshness, in thm new land and nation, of Hus sacred puKH.on, that can storm us when the right time comes, us I saw tho Atlantic storm those babbling brooks about Hingham, ami swoop us on to bo and to do tilings wo could not dream of when wo imagined wo were wise bovond that which is written. JJut, meet of nil, I believe and trust in this power that has hidden the linost and sweet est life of the world down to this day in Iho manhood ami womanhood which would tolerate no tampering with those holy things, but has in sisted that the young men should be chaste, and tne young women shall marry, and (hat a man should bo the husband of one wife, and by a revelation written over countless multitudes of human lives has driven homo the truth that when wo try to frustrate this law, oven In the in terests of wliat wu bchovu to bo a higher relig ious life, like that of the monastery, tlio day is sure to come when (ho whole thing is rot ten to tho core, mid nn Intolerable bin dorauco rather than a help to us, while out of tho homo comes that perpetual renovation through which the Most High makes all things now. How, if 1 behoved that the God and Father of tw all hwd gotten Ui» will of u» as lie did at Inst of tho Egyptians and Asturians, I should have nothing more to say ; but believing as I do that lie ban a stoke in us ilo cannot afford to lose, 1 know lie will lind a way to solve tins question, though wo despair, ami it will bo tho good old way. lie will touch this great true heart wo have vvopt over and sung over within tho last fifteen years willi n prulo that was too deep for words in the old simple way. ilo will say to the now gciuTalioti exactly what lie has said to tho old, it is not good for the man to bo alone, I will make a help meet fur him. ami tho man will wake up from the old blessed dream and know that woman out of all tho world. IVo are not to Joy over much sirens, then, on this newspaper convention of tho young men and women who would get married if they durst, but only on tho wood of those among them who want to mvr MAiminn if tlioy could tlmj tho right iimii or woman—tho one man or woman out uf all tUo world,—aud who are willing than to run tho rLK wo ran who nioold enough to bo thotr lathers, of makitg.T spoon or spoiling n hum. I confess for ouo that I have no intercut in any other kind. Tho man who daro not do what his manhood demands of him, and cannot lojmndo to do it, is of no more uho in tho battlo of lifo than ho would liavo boon in tho battlo of Gettysburg. lint I havo io way ibis afternoon, wbat 1 have said many a timo before, that tho attain duct* not Ho on thin string, but on another of a far deeper moaning. Ido not trouble my* poll when 1 look at tho question from this bUlo about gutting married. Tho stout old habit of our race will lake care of that, and tho unworn and inexhaustible secret of a lovo (hat will rise to spriiigtido when tho right match comes along, and tho purpose wo can no more alter than wo can alter (ho course of tho sun to people thin now world with tho men and women who will take caro of it, and loavo those who cannot out of tho question. What Ido feol anxious about in this rolallou is staying married, and making of this most sacrod deed whnt wo ought to malm of it. llroro ore, somewhere in this world, s few copies of u Hiblo in which tho word “not” is loft out of tho Rovonth Commandment so that tho terse reads, “Thou shall commit odultory,” and I tumk I soo a tendency all tho timo to tamper with onoth cr passage that is just as sacred, and to read it, “Whom God bos joined together lot man put asunder.” instead of “let notman put asunder,” so that tuoro is far moro trouble aboad to mv mind In playing fast and loose with this sacred business than in taking tho step, and then quie ting us like men. Bo 1 want to run a story through tho rest of my discourse in which I have tried to OI’EN THIS CHEAT BECHET Of STAYI.Vn arAniUED iu tHo light that coined to a man by tbo time bo gets round to tbo silver weddiug. to which my wife and I got round last April, and if you think a minister ought not to roudy a story ou a Sun day, X may Bay 1 got tbo bint of it out or a book that is sometimes bound up with our Xhblo. Xt is about a young man who set out to ncok a wife, and who found ono, of course, as all young mon do who eat out in dead earnest; and when they woro married ho know very little about her, and she know very little about him, boj-ond thin: that they woro both bom of a goad, honest stock, and raised in a good, wholesome way; ami oho bad to go homo with him and livo with that person for n while our now (satinets aro girding at bo unfairly,—& mother-in-law. And what would como of it ? They had no idea; tho whole future was as yet in tho shadow except for tho light of loro that was iu their ho&rts; and when tbnycamolo bo olono in tboir chamber tboy knolt down and prayed this prayer: “Mer cifully ornafu that wo ranv grow old together.” It was ono of those weddings for which some people predict a leisurely repentance.—love at first sight, followed by a very brief courtship,— and thou tho minister, and friends, congratula tions, kisses. tears, laughter, a sapper, which they oat no doubt looking slyly at oach other, and half wondering whether It could bo possible that they woro really husband and wife, as the man bad said, as lona as tboy both should live. Tboy wore both quite young; they did not know much of tho world tboy had lived in, and noth ing at all of tbo world they woro entering. Could bo bold bis own &s bread-winner. and she as broad-makorP Could be keep a bouse over her bead, and could sbo mako it bright mid trim as a mau loves (o see it when bo comes homo tired and wants to rest ? Would bo turn out selfish in bis homo, orsolf-forgotful ? or sbo a frivolous gorsip, or a wifo bo could trust like his own right hand ? Would tho sunshine break out in his faoo as ho entered his own door and mot tbo sunshine breaking out aa hors? Would sbo cry, “Husband here’s your slippers nice and warm; llttloAnna has boon toasting tbomoverao long”? and bo cry, “Ah. wife, yop arp tbo woman to think of a man. Where are the children”? Or, would ho savo all his snarls until ho had shut tho door and sat down to sup per, and sbo give him hack his own with usury ? There it all lay before them, tbo vast untrodden possibility loading to boavon or to lioll bv tho time they came to their silver wedding. There was but ono wish iu tboir hearts, como what would, resting there, as tbo lark m tho spring rests in my old homeland among (ho wild thyme, and then it soared as tho lark soars singing into huayon j and tins was tho burden of tboir spring, “Mercifully ordain that wo may grow aged together.” lint wo havo to see how this most touching cry would bo of no more use then thou it is to some now, if it did not stand through all (Uo time to come at onco as a safeguard and an in spiration ; a safeguard against homo things that prevent us (rum growing old together, and an mspiratiuu to some that help ns. It was a natural longing Just then voicing itself out of their hearts. They felt sure they had boon mado for each other, ond while they know that time must turn tho ravou to white, furrow tho brow, blench tho bloom, bend them down with its burdens, and touch all their faculties with its wintry frosts, if they should live, still (hoy wanted tpo guod God to deal ilium out an oven measure, together. This seems to me to bo THE BBNIUNO WORD. Together thou as now, in tho autumn as in tho spring, in taking as in giving, until the silver chord was loosed and the? wore homo away nut far apart to the life to come. but looking Hist at the most outward thing of all. there was danger, if (hoy did not tako care, that their prayer would not and could not ho answered. They might both grow aged— that must bo as Goa ordained : and they might live together while life should last—that must bo as they onialned; hutthlsdaymight buforallthai the end of their equality iu age.

Wo can only pray then for power and grace to make the best of it, and thank Hod that prayer can always ho answered, bo 1 hope when they cried, •• Mnrcifu ly ordain that wo may grow aged together," (his most outward condition was thnro hi their nature, or cine they might as well have prayed that tho wheels of a watch, ono half steel and Iho other pewter, might grow aged together. Ho I 101 l you, young men, If you are not wholesome clean through. and you, young women. If you will not tram yourselves to tho finest and etrlctcst womanhood possible to your nature, if you will not eat brown bread, and work in the garden if you Lave one, with anymore grip than a bird scratching, quit reading novels iu a hot room, and devouring sweet-meats, if you daro not f&co (ho sun and wind, and try to out walk and out run your brothers, or lot our sweet, wise, mother Nature hucklo your belt, you had hotter not say amen when your stalwart young husband cries, “ Mercifully ordain that wo may grow aged to gether." I said this Is tho most outward condition. Reaching Inward wo hud others more serious, ihcuo young people HAVE TO MNP EACH OTIIEU OUT, and they may spend a lifo-time in doing it. Homo lind cadi other out as njuii ucts have sometimes found out iho polar scan. They Icavo tho shores of thoir emglo life in tho spring days with tears and benedictions on them ; they sail on a while in vuushtuo and fair weather, and then, some how. they find their way litllo by little into tho cold latitudes, and see tho stm nmij day by day, and feel tho frost creep in and harden them, un til at last they turn to ice, sitting at tho uauu lablo and sleeping in tho same room. Others again find each other out as in all those years wo havo boon finding out this now world. They settle down at first among the meadows by tho spring, then they go through a belt of shad ow and lose thoir way to find it again by-and by, and coma out into wider spaces and a hotter land than (hoy left. They meet tho rugged hills and climb them together, strike tho deserts and cross them together, come to the mountains aud scale them together, and then they eoo tho other ocean, and reach it together : and so their Journey cuds. Rut through shadow and thino they keep togeth er ; they allow no disaster to divide tacm, aud no thhd person, nut oven tho mothor-iu-law, to Interfere. Uid you ever hear my minsmoN of MARntAnn ? Sydney Smith nays ; "It resembles a pair of shears. bo joined that they cannot well bo aojia rated. moving often in oppuaito directions, but always punishing any ono that comes between them." Tbo remark is as wise aa it ia witty, aud ho might bavo added, "Part tho sheara asunder, ami then all you have loft is two poor daggers." Hu it ia noasiblo that wo may grow gray ua wo find each oilier out, andwoudcrwbywouuveraaw that trait boforo oratmek that temper; but if there is this trno bean between ua that keeps the rivet in ita place tho ycara wilt bo auro to bring new reasons for a more perfect union, and thb sweet Scotch ballad will bo a psalm of life. John Amlrmn my Jo John, Wo clcmli the UUL tugoltier, And many a canty day, John, We’vu had wl' anc untilitr: No<> we ruiin toddle doun, Juan, Kut hand in band well go, And sleep together at the foot, John Anderson my Jo. Hut in finding each other out again it Is possi ble that, like my mother’s old shears, over which 1 used to ponder when I was a boy, ono sidu will be greater than the other. Now, what aro wo to do about that? 1 found my old friend James Mott delighted ono evening when 1 wont to call, be cause os ho was walking iu his garden two men wont by and ono said, " That is James Mott,’’ and tho other answered. "And who is James Mott?” "Why, don’t yon know ? It is Lucrotia Mott’s husband.” Now, .James Molt was anything but s common man. With a lesser half ho would have seemed groat, aud ho was groat in » perfect loyalty to truth and goodness, but lus wife was tho woman of a century, while ho was so noble aud groat of Bout as to bo glad and proud of her greatness, and at the same time seemed greater fur his worship, a feat few men over accomplish. Audubon, our peerless naturalist, married a good, sweet wife, and when she began to Hud him out she found that ho would wander off a thousand miles iu quest of a bird, Hho said Amen, and wont with him so long as she had no sacred reason for staying at homo, crossed tho Alloghauios with him on horseback, camped in tho woods, lived in log huts aud shanties on tho frontier, entered into his enthusiasm, and counted all things but loss far tho excellency of tho glory of being Audubon’s wife. When the children began to come to them ho had to wander off alcuo, hut ho could not go Into a valloy so deep or a wilderness so distant that tho light would not shino on him out of their window. 110 know just where ho should Ibid her. and how sho would look, for while, as Uuskin reminds us, tho clouds never take tho samo form again, wo know tho sunshine as wo know our mo.it familiar friend, and it was suiiehluo ho saw when ho looked homeward, and so, if you havo road his notes,you will remember how his heart breaks forth into singing iu all sorts of unexpected places as hu thinks of tho wif6 and children waiting bis re turn. and so they grow aged together, until they dropped into tho lap of Uod like mellow fruit. It was laid on him to do this curious wild work. How her woman’s heart yearned to havo him homo wo may well Imagine ; and how gladly she would have sacritlcod somo of UU greatness to keep hor children’s father at her side, hut she did not tel! him so. and now sho is changed Into tho samo imago, from glory into glory, as by tho spirit of the Lord. MY STOUT ENDS before the answer to tho pravor is granted. They must bo getting on when when we leave them for they have six sons, but they move away, and so tbo curtain falls on them forever,—but It makes little matter. I know fust how it was with them. If they kept these safeguards and followed this inspiration that I have tried to teach. When Oborlin was HO years old and very infirm, lu climb ing ono of his mountains ho was obliged to loan on tho arm of ajouugor roan, while his wife, who was stronger, walked bv herself. Sleeting one of his parishioners, tho old man felt so awk ward at his want of gallantry that ho insisted on stopping and explaining how it was, and how they each understood it perfectly, film could not loan on his arm, but she loaned on his heart all the same. They had grown aged together, and ho shot ahead a little, hut they must not mintako them, it was all right, fio it would ho with those twain In the far-away Kasteru Valiev. They would keen to gether, and whoa the arm failed tho heart would still abide in tho old beautiful strength and grace. "And what did von see?" 1 said eagerly, when a friend wont from our dale once over into the Lake country, and on his return told mo ho had boon to Wordsworth's homo. "I saw the grand old man," he said, "walking in his garden with his wife. Very old he wa<,— uouly blind, the people told mo,—but tboy seemed like sweethearts, they wore so tender and attentive," and Miss Marliueau tolls tbo sumo story', with tho additional particulars of a near neighbor,—bow she would miss him. and trot out to liud him—iind him, perhaps, asleep in tho sun, run for his hat to shade his face, lend him and watch him; and so it was that when ho died they dug his gravo deep enough for both, and when she died they wero ouu in tho dust as they wore one in Heaven, and had been on earth fur over forty voats. The world came to him at last hut tho wife at lirst. d Worse and worse," Jtifrcy said in his review, when a now noetu came out. •* Bettor and bettor." said the wifo sitting on the croon bank. 'l'ho world might k'oIT, tho wife believed. She was no Harsh to laugh at the Angel of the Lord. Whet wonder then they wore sweethearts at throe score and ton ? It was co with the wife of Thomas Carlyle. Titd woman with Clio blood of old John Knox coursing through her heart upheld her husband through all weathers, proud of his strength, tender of his weakness, never saying “Thomas, 1 ruy do write so that people cau understand you." Ills wild, weird words might puzzle hoc brain, but they were the simplest Kaxou to her heart, and so when she died ho had graven on her tomb, “Fur forty years she was the true and loving helpmate of her husband, and by act and word unwearied)? forwarded him as none cite could iu all of worthy that ho did or at* templed.” And this was what this man said of his wife, and this wife of her husband, when one was taken and the other left, eud their prayer had been fully answered in a beautiful old age. Now (bis Is a prayer wo c»u all put up to (jod ou our wedding-day, or, If we will, ou any day aud every day after, and find the spirit of the answer in tho spirit of the cry. Is there danger that wc shall make it imposs.hlo for Heaven to hear us in tho tale of tho years became wo are using thorn Dp as tho prodigal used up bis for tune? Wo can guard against that. Is there danger that while wo may grow old together in years there may ho such a growing differ ence of spirit and purpose that at three > core and ton wo may merely ho two old pcoplo who havo found each other out but only to find it is all a mistake? Wo can guard against that. Tor where this safeguard to our inner life and for (bat matter our outer life also is needed, tho answorto our prayer comes In the true asking. No man and woman ever cried out to Ood with their whole heart fervently, “mercifully ordain that wo may grow aged to gether," who did not And well springs in their UrvoHt desert, gleams of sunshine stealing Into their darkest shadow*, an arm of power for their most appalling steeps, and sunny resting places all the way. tku avkiiaoc >ovm la working a fatal mischief lu the average min i iu its (felines of Imo love, it makes that tender glow and glamour which related natures feel when they meet true I-,vo. It is no such thing; it is true passion, that is alt—a Messed power purely and rightly used, hut no more true love than those little hooks and tendrils you see in Juno on a shooting vine are the ripe clusters of October. True love growa out of reverence, and deference, loyally and courtesy, dark days and bright, sorrow and Joy. It is tho nitre essence of all wo are, and all we do. of all that is most beautiful and good iu our heart and life. Ami woman is not uodcrclop’d man, Hut diverge. Could we make her as the man, Bweet love were slain.
