MARIETTA, PA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1863. For The Maristtian• BEFORE AND AFTER; or, Five Phases of Married Life. By G-rantellus CHAPTER X. IA RATIONAL PHASlC—After.] "If we are two, we are two so As stiff twill-compasses are two ; Thou the fix'd foot which makes no show To move, but doth if 'toher do. So shalt thou• be , to me, who must Like 'tother foot eccentric run, Thy firmness makes my circle just And makes me end where I bigur." The idea of oneness, or' perfect unity of thought, intent, and purpose, in' any social relation in this world, is a most beautiful one, but' most especially so when it pervades and'gives character to the marriage relation: Mutual hopes, mutual confidence, and mutual forbear ance, which are so essential in perpetu ating a mutual state of harmony and af fection between parties united together by the ties of relationship, are nowhere eo becoming and so beautiful, and no where else tell with such redeeming and regenerating effects unonaosterity, as they do in the marriage relation., )Fie-i tween those who are congenially and conjugally united, there will be a visible quality, and perhaps a• diversity of,pur pose that seems to •lead in different di- rections. But this is only an appear ance, fur, mutually understanding each, other, and acting from the affections as well as the intellect, they will combine the male and female principles of the mind, in all they do, in such harmonious action, as to give every duty and obliga tion of life, its highest degree of efficien cy. They will mutually fed, that with out each other they are mere nothings; and that in order to the accomplishment of any good word or work, they must rely upon each other. Not that they -themselves do the work, but that, as willing and reciprocal instrumentalities in the hands of God, they have endeav ered to promote each other's happiness, and this will not only ramify through their posterity to the thousandth gen• eration, but will influence for good, all who may come in social contact with them, or who may be cognizant of their example. No matter how much, or how far, they may he seperated from each other, they will still be spiritually pres ent, and will lean towards each other, acknowledging their insufficiency when seperated, and their concentrative pow er when acting in matrimonial union and harmony,in carrying out their plans, uses, and duties of life. There cannot possibly be it more beautiful phase of married life, than that state of confi dence and content which may 'exist be tween married .partners, when their per sonal good or the public good, demands a temporary generation ; and no event in life may be better calculated to ex hibit how dear 'they are to each other, and to Illustrate the real depth of their affections. Under such 'circumstances, if their hearts and hopes are rightly at uned, and in harmony with the will of God; such occasions will not be the source of peevish and unnecessary frets and fears.' Of course there will not 'be, either an assumed or a real state of in difference ; but' on the other band, con tented for the time being with a thought presence, they will be resigned to that state of things which seems to be or dained, or which they are conscious is quite beyond their control. There is a grave doubt as to the christian propriety of a well-ordered married pair, in secluding themselves entirely from the outer world, and build ing up an unsocial wall between them selves and those with whom they had been formerly on terms of interconrse.• Whatever may be their intellectual and moral attainments, and whatever may be the degree of affection between them, there is strong ground to suspect that they are selfish, and disposed to pat their light under a bushel, where none may feel the benefits of its rays but themselves. The domestic relation of marriage was intended for the moral and spiritual advancement of all those who unite in assuming its obligations and its duties; and that end can be better ef fected by imparting to others the bene fits of a "twain made one" in acts of kindness; and also a rational concern for the welfare of others as well as those immediately concerned. If marriage enhances the disposition to do good, and multiplies the opportunities for doing so, surely a rationally and intellectually wedded pair, will not discard any of the duties and obligations devolving, upon. hem as christian citizens ; for, although a promiscuous intercouroe is not by any means desirable, yet a limited social sphere—a sphere within which the wel fare of our fellow maa may be advanced, is commendable ; and these ends may be attained in a higher degree through the instrumentality of a happy wedded pair, than they can be by those who, are acting unsupported and singly iu the world ;—at least so thought Mark Lane and Lilly Twickley, , and so they lived, Between Mark Lane and Lilly Twick ley there had existed from the first be ginning of their social intercourse, a congeniality of mind and sentiment, that could not well, do otherwise thin seek a closer and a more familiar union, without the senseless practice . of those . arts, calculated to leave an impression that an oppositeatate of feeling between them existed; and therefore', when their partialities for each otherbecarne mani fest to others, all the usual gossip in reference to them ceased, and they were looked upon as already tria'n and wife. People seemed to wonder why it was that they had not met before, or had not been married years ago ; for, even the commonest perceptions among, their ac quaintanceship, seemed to regard. them as eminently calculated to make each• other happy, and to disseminate their own felicities among their friends.— When their wedding was announced it occasioned only a slight ejaculation of surprise for a single moment, and then all the feeling and sentimei t of both Kentdale and Twickenham valley, seemed to acquiesce in so desirable a consummation, and even the little chil dren joined in , an ardent and audible God bless them. Few persons seemed to have a clearer view of the nature of the new relations they assumed in becoming united in the holy bonds of matrimony —how many iu the world regard those bonds as holy, at all ?--and therefore their mutual aim had been, to glider stand and truly carry outin the ultimates of life, all the fuuctions, duties, and be atitudes, that constitute the intimates of a true and legitimate marriage union.-- Their wedding day was hailed with in finite delight by their friends ; and al. though an entirely new epoch in the history of their lives, yet they seemed to realize all the responsibilities of it ; and to understand all the proprieties of the occasion, as well as if they had gone through the ceremony a hdridred times. Without presumption or self-ascription, they still believed that all true "match es" are made in heaven ; and they sin cerely hoped that their's may have re ceived a consecration among the angels. In addition to the institution• of mar- riage being instrumental in.the regener ation-of mankind, they also believed it to be a means of colonising the heaven ly kingdom through the human race, as its highest end ; and therefore,, all sel fish. connubial joys and del ghts.were sanctified by, a, desire for offspring as, the proper objects o f affection, instead of living in this world only fur them selves. In' bec,oming thus united in heart, in mind, and in intent and pur pose, they did not feel that they were relinquishing any moral, social, or litical "rights;" nor assuming any new ones, not before enjoyed. After a sojourn of about six months, in the town of Keritdale, from the date of their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Lane took up their residence on a plain but well and neatly cultivated little farm, near the loiver end of Twickenham val ley, and about midway between their previous places of residence. This homestead was the reset of many long years of labor by Mark Lane, in the va rious capacities of day-laborer, School teacher, scrivener, and surveyor, in which he had acted during a period of fifteen years. Mark had acquired habits of industry, if he was not born with them; and although he was never fearful of doing too much for the wages received, yet so trustworthy was he, and so punc tual and efficient in all his engagements that he was always profitably employed, —indeed be believed that if he "cast his bread upon the waters," it would return, to him again "after many days." With a judicious distribution of public and domestic duties, and withont the least invasion or interference with each oth er's rights and immunities, their affairs, in all their departments, moved with apparently as much order as the plane , tery spheres of the solar system. It cannot be said that they were entirely without their afflictions, or enjoyed an immunity from the trials and tempta tious that are incidental to a fallen hu manity ; but they were entirely free from ail willful criminatioes and recrimina tions, and believed that the unavoidable ills of life were permitted, for some good to them or some one else, and would be so overruled as to manifest that good in . - the Lord's own time; and therefore, in ' all their trials and temptations, they practiced mutual forbearance, patience, and calm resignation. And when their wedd6d life was finally crowned with children, if they imposed new duties and trials upon them, they also opened up new fountains of affection, that ex ceeded in their realization all their most sanguine ideals. Mrs. Lane never man ifested, any of the masculine and morbid anxiety about "woman's rights" that has so much; ,occupied;- many .ether female iniuds,.fer well she knew, from her, hus-. band's high appreciation of the relations :between them, that no legitimate right, of hers would be invaded. Knowing fully what is proper to the different po sition& of this sexes,: she never •felt a desire to unsex herself, in order'to shift 'her sphere of action tot more conspicu ous and•more recognizable plane. ' Ten:' derly and ratiodally 'devoted. td her hus band and her children, her highest anr bition was to become'a worthy and true wife and mother,leaving to the good judgment of her husband, the mannge , . merit of all those affairs that did not devolve necessarily upon' her, , or collie within the sphere of her duties, in their' present circumstances of 'life.- With a mind imbued with a real christian chari ty, hers was not,a blind devotion to, and a blind affection 'for, those only, who sustained the relation of husband and children to her; but on the contrary she had tender sympathies.and'affections for , all; and because' she could not render material aidlo all, or could not extend her social intercourse and courtesies to all, she did dot therefore feel warranted in supinely folding her arms, and shut ting herself up from the approaches of those by whom she was surrounded. If any man in Twickenham valley and its vicinity, had reason to be proud of his wife, and to feel that entire satisfac tion which is the lot of so few on earth, that man was Mark Lane ; and yet, neither of them felt that this was an arbitrary result, that was without a cause, although they were loth to claim any merit for it on their own accounts. That significant season in married life which the world calls the "honey moon," they certainly never experienced at all, or always experienced it without inter mission ; for they daily fell more deep ly in love with each other, as they daily became more sensible of the necessity of each other's presence in completing their happiness. They were not blind to each other's fault's and• infirmaties, but on the contrary they saw them and acknowledged them—at least as many of them as mortals usually see—and through this acknowledgment of evil, and a desire to shun it as a sin against God, they hoped to' finally effect their regeneration. In , their outward worldly affairs, they were nOtcharacterintized by any higher degree of prosperity than that which usually attends industry, economy, and judicious and intelligent managetnentteverywhere ; but internally they possessed "a peace thaVplisseth understanding," because they cultivated' a disposition to bear with each other's imperfections,—to do 'their whole : duty to God and man, and to yield a cheerful resignation to 'the Divine will, so far as they were able to comprehend it Twenty years after the marriage of Mark Lane and Lilly Twickley, they seemed as vivacious and as juvenile as they did upon, their wedding day, al though he had reached the years of fifty five and she forty.five ; • and were sur rounded by "half a dozen blooming chil dren, the eldest of which was just de veloping into pristine womanhood. Ad orderly, temperate, , and Ged-fearing life in all things, had left them id the= very prime of. their days, at ages when so many of the thoughtless and dissipated ones of this world, are already on a rapid physical decline. Their . fear of God was not a slaVish and terror-strick -en fear, but on the contrary, it was that state of reverential trust and confidence, which is "the beginning of wisdom." Burning out the candle, of life in the service of sin, and then blowing the snuffings in the face of the Almighty in the hour of death, was no part of the religious ethics of Mr. and Mrs. Lane ; for they sincerely believed that the only true way to enter into life, r..ts in keep init the commandments, a.:...mrding to the testimony of Jesus. They also be lieved that if they truly entered into life through this door—which involved - a practical daily taking up'of the cross, and following the Captain of their sal vation in all' th'eir words and works on earth—they need indulge in no 'fears of death; or in apprehensions of the future. They felt that, 'acting in•meral freedom, as well might you expect the Ethibpian" to change his skin or the Leopard his spots, as for those to do good who have VOL. 10.--NO. 15. accustomed themselves to a life of evil., and therefore upon God's help, through the good of life, they leaned their hopes of final disenthralment from evil. How many' persons in this world commit themselves to God with a mental reser vation, ovunder a sort of protest, when they make -a profession of religion—ac cepting externally the declaration, "MT words they are spirit and they are life," and ,yet internally and practically, in dulging in nothing ; and believing in tnothiog„but the rankent materialism.— The Protestant charges.iipon the Papist that lais,church sells indulgences in ad vance for the commission , of sins,-and yet. the 'Protestant hugs a mure fatal indulgence to his heart, in that he fos ters the dogma, as an article of his faith, that...in. the twinkling of an eye, even against'his own will, he' may be changed from a , satan. to asaint. Whether these dogmatising be tree or false, they formed no part of the religions creed of Mark and Lilly Lane ; for, their chief concern was to.keep clean their "book of life" in;the•flower of. health and the vigor of age, so that When. the messenger of death appeared, they could be , judged out of it, with a "well done good and faithful servant ; thou bast been faithful over a few things, Twill make thee ruler over many.'" Withciut ostentation, theY made religion their chief and leading .prineiple of 'actin, and this was the :grand secret of their' doinestic success, and the fountain from whence flowed the waters of truth, Which washed from them the defilements that are insepera ble from a daily contact with a sinful world: It would perhaps be manifesting a morbid nefaithfulness to human history,- to say , that the demon of selfhood and discontent, had never obtruded his presence in the usually happy domicile of Mr. and Mrs. Lane ;'but, in whatever form, or under whatever specious pre tentious he interposed his poisonous suggestions,—buckling on the armor of faith, good works, and charity, they fought him on the threshold, and beat him oat towards the circumference of their sphere of life, if they could not en tirely extinguish him. In this work they mutually engaged, working as though all depended upon their own individual ef forts ; yet with the full and sincere ac knowledgment, that all power to war against evil successfully, comes from the Lord, to whom also the glory is due.— The children of Mr. and Mrs. Lane grew up to manhood and womanhood, somewhat freer from the`taint of worldly evil, than the larger portion of the children of their neighbors, although they were not peo'ple 'of sanctimonious pretensions; but, having ‘ conimericl,d, the,education of their own affections before they begat children, they trans mitted to, them leis of the mutual pro clivities and tendencies towards evil, than would have been the case, hid they. never practiced a rigid christian self denial-in themselves. These worthy people attained a green 014 age, surrounded by their children and grand-children, retaining all the hallowed affections of their earlier days for each other.. The longer they lived ; the more united they became in thought, in,feeling, and affection b and the more their minds and intents, formed aone, 1. .1n their, long married life, there had. been necessary intervals of bodily sepa ration, in the discharge of the various, duties that devolved upon them, but this,did not involve a spiritual absence from each other, nor , any fretfulness or unnecessary anxiety' about each other's welfare, for they alwayshoped that their destinies were in the hands of God, and that his angels had "charge over them to keep them in all their ways." And.- when they returned again to each other's bosonis, they only felt the more sensibly their li:efficiency when . seperated, and their power for good 'when they were personally and mentally present to each other. They did not regret when they became old, for their days had been well spent in laying up "riehes, where neither moth nor rust corrupts." Like two travelers upon the green banks of a sunny stream waiting to be ferried over to the paradise beyond, even so they :waited until the ferry-man came and gently passed them over to the promised land. But "She in her girls again was courted, and he went wooing in his boys," for their memory on earth was enshrined in the hearts of their children and their friends. or We must not undervalue physi- Clans.
