agreeable to him in that way ?
Tiuagaest looks up in his face and
then sighs and suddenly
tmrsts into she is
alone in the The man would
be a prodigious fool if he were not a
real villian. lie knows this woman's
whole body is not worth his true
wife’s little finger, but be is in the
power of the syren. They gloss over
their wickedness with the usual clap
trap about “ affinitier,” and the pa
pers record an elopement in the gen
eral serio-tragic style. Os the broken
hearted wife, shamed by the world's
pity, of the little children left to its
charity, there is not much to say.
They would gladly sink into oblivion
forever. The man would be ulti
mately punished by remorse, if so
ciety would let him alone; “but
there are extenuating circumstances,”
it says. “JbUlier his wite was too
cold for a man of his temperament,
and had no with him, or
lie her
nothing in tween them.
So, when he is ready to return and
give up the situation, she must be
ready to receive him and make it all
up. Xes, if she in n good and true
woman she will, and let God take care
of the consequences; but for the
woman who would leave her home in
that way, there is no return from in
fatuation.” Her own and every other
door is barred against her, and she
sinks down ! down ! Why ? Be
cause there is that in the heart of
every woman that condemns her to
death. The outraged purity of her
soul avenges itself. It is her own
hand that stones her.
No woman can carry on a flirtation
with a married man that is not crim*
inal. No married woman can flirt
innocently, even with a young man.
It is the first step toward unbalancing
his character. Through her he sees
other women and forms an estimate.
The young girl that enters the family
and wins the affections of the hus
band and father knowingly—and she
can not do it otherwise—has entered
on the road to perdition. There is a
punishment for the kousebraker, but
none for the homebraker, who steals
and mars life’s best treasures. Every
woman has the first best right to her
own husband. lie is hers, in sick
ness and in health, to love and to
cherish, as exclusively as she should
be his. He is to provide for her,
honor her and love her. He is her
protector against all the adverse cir
cumstances of life. No other woman
has any right to the same attentions
and endearmerts, and a wife has a
perfect’ right to resent intrusion. A
man who saw another man’s arm
around his wife’s waist would consider
it a case for court, or an exercise for
pistol shooting.
Women with keener sensibilities
and finer natures, feel it deeper. It
touches the heart. A certain sensi
ble friend of mine says there are two
things she will never allow anybody
to meddle with—her husband and her
sewing machine. Such flirtations are
unworthy of true manhood or woman
hood. They blight the lives that
were created in the original of God
and make the innocent suffer for the
guilty. Mothers would do well to
see their daughters are not mentally
grown on the morbid books in which
somebody is ißvays represented as
falling in love with somebody’s hus
band or wife, ami a “ soul union ”
pictured, which is only intended to
veil the incarceration of lust. There
are enough men and women to fall
by the force of circumstances, or the
depravity of original sin, without
educating any to it. It is well enough
to pull our ox or ass out of the pit,
but we do not want to dig pits for
them to fall into.
WKg™ to a friend
who had a very ruhicond countenance:
“Pray gazq over my garden-wall for
a little while, my cucumbers are very
backward.”
