Wedding bells have hern ringing ?round hero for some timie. Their , mueic always excite the good people ?nd everybody talks about the coming nuptials. Mothers, wives and daughters are -specially interested, for it is 'Jie bride who liae most at stake and :s about to surrender everything to her over. Hut hope is stronger than fear and the women sill rejoice in lr and wish the good work to go on. They dissect and discuss every phase of the new relationship and crowd the chut-, h or the home where the knot is to be 1 ii d with anxious and eager interest. Th bridal tro-seaus and the wedding i ;;if<s have espeeial consideration and ai fully inspected. What a difTer ?nn between man and woman aliout mi, h things.

When 1 see a girl's skir* dragging along 1 s us poet, that sho is pigeontoed or 1 ox-nnkled and wants to hid" it My wife never wore a dress that v a\ in her life for she wears a number two shoe and steps like a deer. Hnt it is a woman's nature 10 love 1 ornament. She cannot help it and .t is no - in. John Wesley tried to cure ' her of it in the dis. ipline. hut he could nil discipline about ornaments and jewelry and other finery !s a ' dead letter. 1 have suspected that ' may ' he was too hard on It is wife 1 a lion! uch things and that is why she quit him What a miserable time those women had in the days of the Puritans when a pretty girl had to wear a plain ' Ida !< dr?ss to church; a home made straw hood shaped like a coal scuttle on her head, and not. an earring nor a 1 breast pin nor even a string of glass ' h ads around her neck. The creator ,adorned the earth with flowers and studded the heavens with stars. He j gave the birds their beautiful plumag' 1 and taught them to sing for our pleas- ! ure. There are diamonds in the mines j and pearls in the o can and of course they wore made for women. We men ) care nothing aibont such things. I I wouldent give ton dollars for a bushel of them. but my wife goes into rapture over thoni and would pivo everything she has pot. for thorn, except her children and may be mo. Woman us a curious and peculiar creation. I have been studyinp them for sixty years and don't fully under- ' stand them .vet. They are very near to us and very dear to us. but very unlike in their devotional nature; their love of the beautiful: their lonp 1 suffering under trial and adversity. They po willingly and eagerly to the marriage altar wnen they know that theirs is all the peril and theirs to lie all the pain and rare and grief that inevitably comes to a wife and mother. I have pondered over all this and i if ] was a woman and had only a I man's instincts and emotions I would ! not marry any man upon earth. It Is the t'.od given maternal instinet that persuades and forces a woman to marry ?he will launch her boat upon the stream and take her chances to jump tlio waterfalls. She will marry even agrinst her judgment and the pleadi' v.i of iter friends, rihe does not realize the force of this maternal instinct, but it impels and (ontrols her. My little granddaughters are perfectly happy with their dolls. They plav with them by day and sleep with them by night. A little four-year-old said to me last nipbt, "(Janpa. don't take 'lolly away from me till I pet fast asleep." luttle boys care nothing about dolls. They want halls and drums and fire-crackers and punsconielhing that will make a noise. \ ii' i i iiivlh a woman and marries tier, hut there is not a particle of paternal Instinct influencing him. The young mother hugs her first horn to her bosom an<l is happy. The young father takes the advent, of the child as a matter <*f courso. hut not of choice. In course of time the little one grows into favor and lie becomes attached to it and even proud of it. hut there is no > paternal Instinct. The true woman loves to l?e a mother. She is not con- , tent, with ono child. Sho wants another and another. Two children i double her love and therefore her hap pincas and liiraJly when she has no 1 i 1 m'* i ( ? >RT yon more little ones to fondle, ho* in-t?r- f nul lo-ve laps over to her grand'hil- ^ (lren. and she would claim them if she could. Mrs. Wilcox wrote a lamentation on the "Decay of the Materna* Instinct in New England," asserting lhat ^ the women up there did not wish for children and there was hardly a hoisthold that had more than one or t'"t>? just enough to inherit the father'?? estate. I . I When that demys everything \ Ise decay0t A town or city or a state without children?a natural contple- A ment or children?is on the town grade. To arrest or impede the coming of children is a violation of th? law of God. *Phe earth mi fit be ivec?i?le<I by hoiiorable marriage. Milton says "'Hail wedded Love?true source of h\m?D nfTspring." And again he says of i narriage. "It is the sum of earthly l>i is* " ^ Other <ynleal old poets make spel t of * it and call it. a "lottery." "An in 111u- T tion where those who are out with to t got in and those who are in wu.li to get out." Some of our modem noits ask the question, 'Is marriage a fail- 1 ude?" and discuss it in prose and poe- d try. Well, suppose that it is. what is | to be done about it. Who is going to stop it?
