Marriages and Homes.
by nelly marshall m'aFF.B
Every woman entertains her own
positive, peculiar, and distinct ideas
upon theso two subjects, Marriages and
Homes.
Miuo, if candidly expressed in those
modern times, may seem bizarre ami
outre, but they cuu. at least, claim the
distinction of beiug the moral and social
convictions of au intelligent human
being.
To give full expose of my opinions I
will probably find myself assumilit;, in
my essay, the form of a minister's aor
mon ? with a '"secondly" and "thiruly, '
und, for aught I know, a "-fillhly" au 1
"sixthly," before tho "lastly"' c >inei,
for the subjects arc two whose b iro
contemplation awakens my though', an 1
fires my heart with a divine glow.
Somewhere?a long while ago?I
read a paragraph not longer than my
little finger, but it was so lull of cuu
densed soul and sense that I committed
it to memory. It ran thus :
"Six things are requisite to create n
'happy home,' Integrity must bo tho
architect, and tidiness the upholsterer,
It must bo warmed by affection, aud
, lighted up with ckecrl'ullnoss, aud in
dustry must be the venlila or, renewing
the atmosphere, and bringing in fresh
salubrity day by day; glory and a
canopy, nothing will suifico except tho
glory of God."
This paragraph awakened me to a
sincere study of social aud marital re
lutions as they do, and as they should,
exint; and my study has enabled mo to
erystalizc into au c.-siy the convictions
born of that profound contemplation.
Of course, I confine myself within
the strict jurisdiction of the feminine
sphere ; and I do this consciously ail 1
iiiivbcdly, because 1 know what ought
to be required ol men As a cousc
quenee l address my own sex, collective
ly and individually.
Young ladies enpro^sed with the i lea
of biidal veils, and orange blossoms, and
handsome frt.nsscaux, seldom it' ever i
give a thought, unless vaguely, to the
ha] piness un.d content incut th.it is to
come?or is not to come?as a life long
crowu of glory, after the marriago ceru
?mony aud houoymoon arc over aud
gone.
I -Sometimes they choose lazy men ;
sometimes thoy fall in love with a
moustaohe, or a fast young man who
?dances .^gracefully and rides horsobuek
well, whoso (pantaloons are fashionably
cut, whose 'boots are always well polish
od, whose hair is pomaded and artificial
ly curled and who perfumes himself
with Low's aud 13uzin's, aud Lubiu's
extracts, as IUnamol perfumes his gilt
edged paper and enibos:-ed envelopes ?
to distraction ; who loafs around and is
afraid 4-o work, lor fear of spoiling his
bauds, or his clothes; who is always
"going out to see a man who dislikes
water as much as a dog docs when
alllioted with hydrophobia ; and who
hns abolished the Sevcuth Command
ment ninety-nine and otic times; en
href, a good lor-nothiug dandy, who,
once wed, is likely to make his wife uu
happy as long as she lives.
Others "lull in love" with street
corn er-watching gentry, or such ilk as
hang around church doors, on Sunday
"to sec the girls come out."
If girls of eighteen had only cxper
ience and judgment that generally
comes to them by the time thev tire
twenty five, these loungers would dis
appcivr fawn the faeo of the earth like j
frogs wheu the first snow falls. Hut,
alas ! they have not, aud consequently
the severe and bitter recipe will uovor
bo given them as a curative test.
Modern demoiselles do not know how
to nia'ke such parlor knights "stand.in
tho cold" nor how to give thctii "the
mitten." And bo thqy many lazy,1
flippattt, good-for-nothing young mou,
uTrd eettlo themselves dowu, sooner or
Inter, to lives of sorrow, dis'.ppointiuent
and ohagrin, insteati of Urging them
first +o go to work eaa'ucsb'y and honest
ly, aud endeavor to he sober aud in.hu
triaus-in icrder to win ihotn.
A woman selecting a husband, or
bc'n? sought us u wiio, ought to knq.y
before sho yields her heart or hand,
whether the suitor hns a profession or
a trade; whether be is a skillful nrtisun
or a thrifty, industrious farmer?up
early and late, ublo to do his own work,
and uot ashutnod of it either j whether
his "hobby" is to complain of " haid
times" instead of struggling to brighten
them ; whether he knows how to man
njre a fortuuo if he has one : whether he
works six days in his profession, and on
Sunday rests, and goes to church to
pn ise God.
If they would take the trouble to find
out these things, they would never have
cause to regret their marriage?they
would always love and respect their
husbands ; and moreover, never lack a
well-provided home.
But they don't take wthc trouble !
They go on, as they will probably con
tinuc to do while the earth revolves on
axis, estimating a young man's worth by
the nicety of* the tailor's fit, the length
and silkiucss of his moustache, and his
ability to talk opera and soft nonsense.
One faet, if generally known, is too
often forgotten, and that is, that love
and confidence are the foundation stones
of jcirPcct domestic bliss; that without
these all is chaos and doubt and dispair,
and happiness is a myth liugeting ouly
in the heart's Utopia.
There is a trite aphorism about Love
flying out at the window when Poverty,
comes in at the door. There is no truth
in this where the affection existing is
genuine; and, indeed, there is never
m-ed for more fortune than that which
insures comfort.
Those persons who marry with m.ider
ate means arc generally the ones who
tasts the conunthic ether of life. No
matter which one brings the "lucre" to
the domestic treasuiy, 60 that the hearts
are in the right place. And certain it
is that, such domestic bliss is founded
upon a rock. Happiness is another
haute for love ; for where love is there
is happiness also ; and with these there
is oontcntjncnt too, for true love inspiics
forbearance and gentleness ; ami these
domestic qualities ever and aLvays flood
a liotue with eternal sunshine, bright j
and visible and bk-s cd as the smile of '
God ! I
A young womin leaving ibn ten Iot
arms of the parents who have hitherto j
cherish(-.d her and guided her footsteps, j
to go to sale and honorable protection
in the very bosom of love an I honor,
should lay aside, nt once, and forever,
the hauteur, and passion, and self c in
federation, that often stamps her ehtr
acter in girlhood, and over after have
the merit of hor .husband in view a'ilh
I
unalterable revcrenoc aud delight.
She should reflect that marriage to a
true man has a eucharistic meaning
She should remember that marriage
imposes upon her hlte sum of obligation
to bim. Does be not confer upon her,
independence, distinction, and, dearer
than all, felicity ? She should eveu
moderate her prirnte expenses, and pro
portion ber general expenditures, not
only to the standard of his fortune, but
his wishes. In her sphere of act ion as
a wife, there are sacred duties she
should never forget. There is a sauoiti
ty in the condition of wifuhood ; there
is a dignity in character; there is a
solemnity in the vows that should? evor
be lovingly v6inetnborcd.
[Society holds a wife amenable for her
example, for the honor and happiness of
her husband ; and God holds her atnen
able for the rich talents entrusted to
her care and improvement, for no wo
man can be true to any man while false
to herself !
No mat ter what the maze of pleasure
may bo, no matter what the <vhirl of
passion, no true wife should for a day
ho oblivion! to J.h.o fact that there is a
record which will sooner or later appenr
in terrible evidence against her for hor
least omission. If wives, as a class or
individually, would study these pre
[ oopts, there would be fewer after
tragedies because of meeting affinities,
getting divorced and remarrying. And
yet thero is great, deal of heroism it)
this world ! Tljpro are men who go
homo to reckless and careless wivc3,
aud to ill kept houses, who never utter
one word of complaint there, qever one
word of reproach, nor yet to tho world ;
and there are women who screen the
faults of their husbands, even from their
own cljijdron, and bear the burdetr of
neglect with saint like fortitndo ! They
love ou, nuij liopcou, to the end. Who
amottg us doubts that when God sets
Iiis seal on their foreheads we ahall
know what heroism lljqif fnlent, lives
contained ?
Aga hns much to do with tho loss or
Buccess of happiness. I have always
contended this point,.. I do qo still.
I think a mau ought to bo fully ten
years older than his wife. There aro
many reasons, in justification of this
practice. The most fovciblo ono under
consideration is that the sexes in Aracr
ica do not bear their t-ges equally.
Say a man of twenty-three years
marries a lady of the same age. When
he is forty-livo ho is in the prime of
life j when she is for'y five she is general
ly faded, cross and jealous?especially
of the inference that might be deduced
from their Btiggcstive respcctiv<fw}ppe:ir
anccs. Of course there are l^its to
such a rule, aud they should be drawn.
For instance, a very old man perhaps
had bolter not marry at all ; bntlf he is
determined to embitter the live) of his
relations, 1 think the most sensible a I
] liaiicn ha could adopt is the vef'i?rablc
custom of wedding his house lipjepsr;
the only drawback being thai of the
association which he enters irib? with
the housekeeper's rotations and "onnoj
tions, if he bo an "aristocratic '^igeutlo
man.
But, of all others, the subject of mon
o}' is the it'ost difficult lo lay icpVn law
upon?as a matrimonial consideration .
It may be taken for granted, tl^gh I
do not positively assort it, that ;i*rls are
not in the least grateful to bo t-l'arrio I
without it; lor the very reason.that it
is human nature?masculine, as^well as
feminine nature?-to believe thrtci we are
chosen and accepted for our intrinsic
merits.
Now, a portionless girl is pretty sure
to believe that lver attractions Tn other
respects quite account for the oircum
stance of a husband not wanting a dewer
with her !
Jlut still, te put the argument on a
low ground, it ij unquestionably not the
best policy to get married sim^-y for a
I fortune. The cases where rr6u have
I paid off their debts by this process d
I not look wnli when closely inv^Hgatad;
I for, after (lie debts,are paid oll^^rV'is
.still the wife t i iivc with, who will
!itv<;r forget the boon the has con
furred.
A suit ah In woman, with money, has
an -additional charm, cap sci illy if she
b'dong to a class wh > <lo not regard it as
the one aim, object, ?:id result of lit".
A -io iimn and a Worthy husband
will know how to treat, and will treat a
good and worthy wife with lore h i I
respect. Her imago is jcuuutc 1 in hi n. i
No matter how great a man he may be.
no matter how austere and strong
minded ho may be, so that he loves her!
It is then, when iuspired with divine
passiou and diviao tenderness for her,
that he feels her influence every day.
A power within him, which otherwise
might have slumbered unknown or for
gotten, is exerted by her loving words
ond herwomauly dependence upon him
for strength.
In the language of Bui wer : "Her
image glossed in his soul, lures him on
to those inspiring toils by which uiuu
mnstcrs men."
To the potent influence of either a
wife's or a mother's love, how many ol
our greatest statesmen and subliiuust
heroes attribute their success iu life.
it is not woman alone who must have
something to love. Man needs the same
stimulant to raise him from the state of
thraldom in which the cares and nnxi
etics of an every day life usually plunge
him. What friend can take with him
the place of a wTe ? Who can ad
minister consolation as she does, so free
from i*uspiciou or hope of interested a ess
other than that of a holy and ten lor
desiro and deep anxiety to make him
happy ? Jjct all iuu world forsake and
abaudon him, lo! trial* come upon him,
let calamities befall him. yet in her pro
sence, and crowned 'vith her foud nfibc
tioti, a harbinger ol* love aud truth and
devotion can always he found.
Soa.o woujcu Jb-rget that men have a
yearning for disinterested love. Ah !
once convince a man that he is beloved
for himself, independent of his wealth,
or his station, or any of the advantages
of which he may bo possessed?let him
see, I say, that ho is beioved for him
self, and you can make him your slave
for life I
Men arc more generous than women
?they arc more susceptible, more cot)
fiding, more tcudcr, more faithful, more
Bincerc 1
Bless a good W'in, or even a bad oun,
with a noble wmipin fop a wife, and you
will sec that he is capable of prolonging
things that would discourage him had
ho not some one to offer him those little '
words of consolation und chcor, that j
have lightened tho burden ol many a !
life. "Never mind the oilda a-aintt1
you I I'm here, I bcliove iu you, I love
l.youl". mO l I r, - ? ?? ! ?:
A man who possesses the affeotion
and the respect of his wife, founds his
domestic life upon n rock which with
stands all storms. And the fault will
lie at his own door if he fails to attain
eminence and honor. But if a man
marries, and, by deed or incompatibility,
discovered too late?fails to possess or
to retain her love ; if there are no loving
eyes to watch for his coming, no loving
a tins to encircle Iiis neck, no loving lips
to give him greeting when he retires
from tlic cares and toils of tho day, let
woman rest assured that to that, man
ambition aud hope and peace and Con
totltuiciit are lost mirages that float
above the desert sands o( a barren and
sterile life?a life that has no "beyond"
brighter than the grave.
And uow about a house.
In the first place it should not be too
Inrjze : a husband should never be able
Lido away from the smile or the kiss of
his fresh young wife. Nor should it be

little glass, and that cut; and the china
should be pure, white and fine, the nap
kins and linen snowy, the food delicious
ly palatable aud always dclieiwusly ser
vcd. A wife's attention to the minor
details of her household can readily ef
feet all this. Her negligence, bo it ever
so slight, is observable.
Only the service of capable servants
should be accepted. Housekeeping as

tastes, and pure in his principles and in

It should bo thojoy and the delight
of every true wife to do all things for
her husband. She Bhould endeavor to
be elegant, chaste, charn-.ing, refined,
delicate, tender, passionate antl loving

docs not live, and never did live, who
was able to resist the' loviog, refined aod
gentle:n!luoncc of a pure, peaceful, in
telligent en 1 affectionate woman.
The most beautiful picture, that has
ever been made of a true woman was
the description that Sir John Mclntosh
gave of his own wife. 'She was a wo
man who by tender management of my
weaknesses gradually corrected the most
pernicious of them. TJiough of the
I most generous nature, alie taught .me
economy by bar love of inc. Duriu^
the most critical period of my life she
relieved me of the care3 of my affair,
and preserved order in them. She gent
ly reclaimed me from dissipation; she
propped my weak and irresolute nature;
urged m}' indolence to useful and credi
table exertions, aud?was perpetually at
hand to admouish my heedlojsness and
improvidence. To her I ovve whatever
I shall be. In her solicitude for ray
interest she never for a moment forgot
my character. Her feelings were warm
und impetous, but she was placable, ten.
der and coustaut. Such was she whom
1 lost wlTS*?? kdowlcdge of her worth
bad refined my ardeuUiQYO to a Bincare
friendship.'
Ah ' can nny woman have lived in \
vain whose husband pronouueees such a
panegyric over her death ?
Let every woiua.ii; every wife , reinem
her this gem !
'The sunlight [that follows a ship
wreck is n?-t less beautiful, though it
i shines upon the remnants of the broken
Imk; what is savud is so much more
precious than that which has been lo_-t.
i I he domestic circle is too small to allow
ui rupture; it is alwaya too precious, to
make excusable auy neglect to prevent
or to heal distuvdanccs. They are
enough to minister by hiuts and reports
i to domestic unhappiness; and, unfort u
iiately, tho boat under such circumstan
ces arc much proue to mistake, and thus
misrepresent motives, a?d trifles, with
no direct object; are magnified minto
mountains of unintentional offense. Let
u* guard against it ! Delicate relations
arc like the polish ol* c istly cutlery:
dampness corrodes, and the rust, though
removed, leaves a staiu.'
Mrs. GaiiicS its a Lawyer.
Belva A Lockwool.s recent appear
anccn i the Court of Claims, in this city
reminds the New Orleans Picayune of
?hat occurred in the District court of
that city nearly thirty yo irs ago.
It was on the trial of one of tho first
of the many suits of Mrs. Myra Clark
(Jaincs. Judgo Buchanan presided, and
the case was submitted to a jury. It
happened that the lawyers, some of the
ablest at the bar, fell into a bitter wrau
gle with the Judge, and were bo offen
ded at his rulings that they withdrew
from the case and the court.
Mrs. Uainesand the veteran genera*,
her husband, were present in court,
The general wore his full uniform; his
swoul and rash, in conformity to the |
regulations. 1 he lady was there in the
meridian of a beauty, grace and vivacity
eveu now preserved to so remarkable de
grip, after reaching the Scriptuoal linn?,
ol human life.
Immediately upon tho withdrawal of
her lawyers the stately olj horo of Kort
Krie, taking his wife by tho hand led
her to the bar ami addressed tho judge
its follows: ??
'May it p'oase your houor I waa cdu

Chief JjJusticc Edmund l'cndleton of
Virginia,) impressed mo, in early youth
with the proloundcat revcrcoeo for the
civil courts of my couutry. Perhaps in
the view of the world aud of tho court,
it would bo my duty to supply tho plaoo
of my wife's lawyors upon their retire

And then raising his head, i.alg^Ml^'*
touching bis sword, he turned ta tbe?s^ r

'For whatever tho lady shall ^aj iptf.-..

' Judge Buchanan was greatly aaaoy '
