Marriage, brought into the world through the influence of children, should be dissolved only with due regard for the interests of children. ---- An unhappy marriage is earth's worst affliction. Quite true. But it is not affliction wasted. Examples are needed to warn the young against the matrimonial recklessness which underlies most unhappy marriages. Unhappy wives and husbands are human light-houses--lonely, but useful. If a gentle little Alderney calf should marry a sleek young zebra and afterward get kicked to death for her pains, we should all sympathize with her. But we should expect other mild-eyed Alderneys after that to beware of zebras. As a matter of fact, this present divorce talk, which sets the good to fluttering, really interests a very unimportant class. The man who spends his life spending what he didn't earn, feeding his physical senses, who goes from rum to the races, from the races to the opera, and from the opera to roulette, wears out his nervous sensations. He then thinks that he is unhappily married. He has possibly driven his wife to being seven kinds of a fool. |
