HE first essential f"r success in marriage, of course, is
MUTLAI. love. It U 'ttld -.em unnece-sarx", thi- obvious
proposition, were there not whole nations where marriage
is regarded AS A t'ON'lRAt'T ALONE, whole fami-

It is an honest source of pride to Americans that there is a larger pro­
portion of l.OY'E MARRIAGES in this country than elsewhere, this
arising partly from the fact that the comparative newness of our civili­
zation leaves young p.'ople a little freer than where a more fixed social
order prevails.

So far from
the theory that marriage justly is to be re­
garded as a BUSI X ESS transaction, 1 should claim it to bo one of the
b< -t means of securing happiness in married life that young poople not
only should love each other warmly, but should BEGIN POOR, if
possible, and thus have the discipline of mutual sacrifices and the
pleasure of making their wav upward in prosperity bv gradual steps.
It is one of the merits of human nature, or nt least of American nature,
that a young girl may lie brought up to every luxurv and still, after
marrving the man she loves, may take a positive delight in sacrificing

The most difficult thing, in my opinion, in married life is the har­
monizing of tempers, since, while many people have no opinions worth
mentioning on any subject, the humblest or most ignorant can set up a
temper. Nothing can deal with tempers except CONSCIENCE AND
TIME. I have known young married couples with whom it was un­
pleasant to be in the house during the first v ar of their marriage, and
vet habit <>r sheer necessity made their society tolerable within two
years and positively agreeable in five.
tt K *t
The presence of children is a help to this compatibleness as being
the one possession absolutely shared ami NECESSARILY AC­
CEPTED by each parent. Another great aid to the harmonizing of
tempers indeed, something priceless as a permanent rule is to study
mutually what may be called the equation of preferences that is, to
form a habit of considering, when husband ami wife differ about any
matter, which of the two really has the MORE REASON TO CARE
\BOUT IT. Thus it may sometimes make little difference to the
rife whether breakfast is early or late, while a late breakfast may cost
the husband his morning train, or a carriage may bo an important
matter to a wife, with her skirts to take care of, while it may make no
serious difference to the husband whether he walks or rides. IT
SURELY IS BETTER THAT ONE SHOULD MAKE A LIT-

Teach Children
Politics
By »HI DEHICK O. BRADFORD. Mayor of Brockton. Man.
MAN'S interest in liis city government »boultl bet next to hi*
intereat in hi* church.
'Hie time is coining when the ethics of politics is going to
be tnnglit IN THE SCHOOLS. Civil government is an
excellent itudv, but I hold that we should go farther and teach our
bovs ami girls something of the practical side of things which make
for good HOME LAWS and which will give 11s the model city of
the future. The idea of installing p< rmanent voting booths in the
various school buildings I think is a good one, and the Brockton
teachers have agreed with me. It gave the children a chance to see
a verv important phase of their city government IN PRACTICAL
OPERATION.
Mam business men have the idea that poliii s is something be­
neath tlieir standard, that a man lower him-elf hen he goe* into a
raiiipaign. A more mistaken conception of gentility never existed.
POLITICS SHOULD BE NEXT TO A MAN’S RELIGION.
WHAT BROCKTON AND EVERY OTHER CITY NEEDS IS A
QUICKENING OF PUBLIC INTEREST. OF INDIVIDUAL INTEREST,
IN THE AFFAIRS OF GOVERNMENT.
