Where wild flow'rs scent the air;

When the heart is full of love.
There is beauty in the moonlight,
When it falls upon the sea,
While the blue foam crested billows
Dance and frolic joyously ;
There's beauty in the lightning-gleam
That o'er the dark waves rove ;

When the heart is full of love.
There is beauty in the brightness
Beaming from a loving eye,
In the warm

In the tear of s?mpathy; ,

The spirits gladnes prove;

All together, all together,
Once, once again ;
Hearts and voices, light as ever,
Gladly join the welcome strain.

Bright is its chain ;
Where the parting word was spoken,
Now in smiles we meet again.
While the absent we are greeting,
Let us forget
In this hone of social meeting
Every tho't of past. regret.
Since the present, full of gladness,
Rids us be gay,
Banish every cloud of sadness,
And be happy while we may.
When the warning, we most sever,
Comes once again ;
Yet in feeling. true as ever
Shall our faithful hearts remain.
Oft shall meni'ry breathing o'er us
Sweet friendship's strain,
Bring the happy time before us,
Till we all shall meet again.

BEFORE AND AFTER; or, Five Phases of
Married Life.
By Grantellus
CONCLUSION
"What is marriage forced, but bell,
An age of discord and continual strife?
Whereas the contrary bringeth forth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace."
It may be remarked in conclusion,
upon this important subject, that altho'
the foregoing incidents in married life
may not be personal—any further than
individuals may see their own personal
histories reflected in them—yet, no ob
server of human society, and the charac
ter of its constituent elements, or the
quality of its ruling principles, can, upon
mature reflection, come to any other
conclusion than that they are neverthe
less real. No matter how studied the
efforts are, to conceal , the different un
happy and discordant marriage relations
now existing in the world, yet many of
them are cognizant to "two 2citnesses,"
and where these unite iu a disapproval
or condemnation of the marriage bans,
the approbation and exaltation of socie
ty, can exercise but a transient influ
ence upon the real happiness of the
parties to them. These two witnesses
are, the living consciousness of the
married partners themselves, and the
knowledge of Him. who lives and reigns
where alone true marriages are made.—
It may appropriately be asked, in re
lation to this subject, "can we possibly
conceal anything from the knowledge of
ourselves and our God ?"
It does not follow, hOwever, that
where the discovery is made—after the
consummation of the marriage bonds—
that •the connection should be sacreli•
giously violated, or ruthlessly broken
up, because an improper union may
have been formed ; for, acting mainly
under the impulses and dictates of an
unregenerate heart, and with the per
verted views, and false inteuts.and pur
poses which grow out of such an inter
nal condition, the same error is likely
to be committed again and again; arid
at any future time. Even where persons
have flattered themselves that, they
would have done better in another choice,
yet they may have lived long enough to
discover that that choice, in all its prac•
tical and realizing effects, would have
been infinitely more disastrous than the
first. Nor is it to be inferred that the
foregoing five, are the only phases of
married life ; or that they reflect a
tythe of the discordan cies, to say nothing
of the miseries and criininalities, that
attend so many of the marriage con
nections of an unregenerate world.—
There may be nearer five hundred, or
perhaps five thousand different phases of
this relation of the sexes, than simply
five of them. The five enumerated are
among the most obvious of those which
transpire or obtain, in what may be
termed the middle ranks of society._
NO picture has been drawn from those
• regs of society, where the marriage re
lation is scarcely one remove from that
which exists among brute-beasts, with
not one-half of their disinterestedness
I and instinctive purity. No pen could
depictthese,,except one that had been
chooled amidst the elements that form
:
ed the subject matter of its rehearsals,
and then the scenes might be too re
pulsive to human sensibilities, and too
far below the ordinary human experi
ence, to afford the instruction that is
most particularly needed. Nor are any
of these five phases drawn from the ac
knowledged "uppertendom" of society,
where all is supposed to be happiness
and sunshine, in consequence of the re-
finements and the luxuries which are its
usual concomitants. A recital of these
might also be too far removed from the
experiences of the common mind, for
them to appreciate or understand them,
and hence these also would lack that
moral and social instruction which is
calculated to beoefit the middle masses
of society. Here too it would require
a pen conversant with the abuses of high
married life, and the perversion- of its
refinements.
.The "upperteudom" alluded to, is not
that transient changing social click, that
rises suddenly to an ephemeral distinc
tion through a lucky advent in specula
tion or peculation, whereby au individu
al is elevated from the condition of a
beggar to that of a nabob within a very
brief space of time ;. retaining internally
all the elements of the mental condition
prevailing in the sphere which it had
so recently abandoned. These still be
long to the middle classes, if their
proper place is not a grade below them.
The "uppertendom" to which we abide,
is the real aristocracy of the land, who
claim themselves such, by virtue of their
"blood
.and birth," without regard to
their moral integrity or their pecuniary
condition. ' •
When it is considered how very far
mankind has fallen, below the moral and
social plane which was occupied by the
most ancient of the human race ; and
how deeply and widely the _consequen
ces of that fall have become intArtwined
and inwoven into the very texture and
quality of the mental and physical con
stitution of man, it will become appa
rent that so long as the impulses of ac
tion, and the aspirations of the soul,
spring from the dictates of his own sel
fish nature, he is likely to go on blun
dering in all he does to the end of life.
Therefore, marriage obligations, what
ever their original, qualities may have
been, should be held sacred above all
things; for, even an uncongenial or dis
cordant marriage union, if its purity, is
held intact, may still operate,instrumen
tally as a human regenerator, and infuse
a higher degree of moral rectitude in a
coming generation. 'Doubtless a proper
and well-ordered union of the sexes in a
marriage covenant, is the most potent
instrument which the 'Almighty ha's in
stituted for the disenthralMent of the
the human family ; yet, an ill-ordered
and improper marriage need not neces
sarily be regarded as a degradation or a
condemnation of the family of man. If
all the ends of the Creator were con
summated on the material plane—if it
were not "appointed into men once to
die, and after death the judgment"—if
the realms of the eternal world were
not inhabited by the spirits of "just men
made perfect," and if those inhabitants
were not supplied from among those
who "do justly, love mercy, and walk
humbly before God," on this "material
plane," then—excepting so far as present
worldly decency, propriety, safety and
interest are concerned—marriage uni
ons, perhaps, like other merely legal
associations, might be annulled, and re
formed in a seemingly more agreeable
connection, with comparative impunity.
*But, would the moral condition of the
race be advanced by such a course ? is a
question that cannot be disregarded.—
On a right understanding of this ques
tion, and due reflection thereon, hiuges
much of the hapPiness or unhappiness
that obtains io married life. No thought
can be more futile, no reflection more
disparaging and damaging, than fora
young man or a young woman to - con
clude, that if they-had to do it again,
they would not have married the •one
to whom they have been united-; or that
with this one or that one in society,
they , could live more prosperously. more
agreeably and more happily. Whilst
they are indulging in such thoughts and
reflections as these, they are sapping the
very foundations of their own domestic
structure, and are laying waste and
making a sterile desert out of their own
minds, at the same tithe that they ought
to be yielding them fruit in thirty or
sixty or an hundred fold. Probably if
the internal state of those they most
desire were revealed to them, it would
present phases more repulsive, in an
eminent degree, than those they imagine
themselves compelled to endure in their
present relations. And then such re
flections may be selfish in the most op
posite and worst extreme ; for one party
may have as much ground for unhappi
ness, discontent, and complaint, as the
other. Absolute and unqualified absti
nence from all covert as well overt
acts of social and' connubial infidelity,
is the surest ground upon which• to build
the superstructure of domestic happi
ness. But true happiness cannot exist
where the yearnings of the heart are
habitually going out, and restingaapon
objects not recognizable by the marriage
bond—objects too, that may be alto
gether unknown and unworthy;.or if
known and worthy, still uncongeniaLL
A right use of the present opportuni
ties, or those which may be legitimately
embraced, will be far more efficient as
instrumentalities to human happiness
I and human progress, than bootless long
ings after impractical conditions that
are not attainable; and if attainable,
are not as likely to bring the desired
"peace and prOgress," as those that
have been exchanged for them. If the
merely animal nature of man is kept in
obeyance to his moral and spiritual na
ture, it will not be so hard for him to
live a life of perfect resignation to the
behests of orderly and 'God-given, or
God-permitted marriage.
Under the 'present forms of society.
and with the ideas 'of classes and casts
which now prevail almost everywhere,
it is almost impossible to bring together
in marriage those that are best suited
for each other, and a union of whose
destinies would develop a higher degree
of happiness and usefulness, than a con
tinuance of the present social status can
possibly accomplish. False systenis of
education ; false standards'of male and
female excellence ; false ideas of the
sublime and beautiful, and false tastes,
desires and aspirations, among men and
women, have so much perverted the
moral sensibilities of mankind, and so
much warped their judgment, that a
corresponding social condition is no
thing more than a natural consequence
of such vitiated premises. For parties
to invoke the blessings of heaven upon
a union which they themselves are pre
meditatedly and perseveringly doing so
much to curse, seems to be a species of
profanation that admits of no palliation,
unless it is perpetrated in abject and to
tal ignorance of the relations which
ought to exist between the sexes, and
the attitude in which they ought to
stand towards their neighbor and their
But even in instances of marriage,
where the parties may have been influ
enced by merely sensuous, or mercena
ry motives, there is no necessity in
breaking up the relation unadvisedly
and without cause, after the union has
been once legally and in due form con
summated ; for, they may be well as
sured, that whatever the Almightyper
mits to transpire among men, he will in
his own time, and in his own:way, over
rule for their good ; and that their con
dition will be, - in all respects, as favora
ble to their prosperity and ultimate
happiness, as a combination of such cir
cumstances as those in which they are
placed will possibly allow, if they but
honestly and sincerely co-operate with
Him, in the dispensation of his merciful
providences.
Although it may seem advisable that
some penple 'should never get married,
yet-this is altogether an appearance,
and grows out of the ill allotments usu
ally made by a vitiated state of human
judgment in this respect, and l - y unfa
vorable social contacts and tendencies
in life, rather than from abstract unfit-
ness or disqualifications on the part of
individuals ; for, a married state is man's
normal social condition, and any sanc
tioned departure from that condition,
must be in accommodation to the per
verted state of social order and of mates
domestic relations ; and therefore must
be regarded rather , as an unfqrtunate
exception, than as a rule of action in any
special sense. But, because marriage
is,a high and holy institution, and •.wed
ded life is man's normal condition, it is
not to be inferred from this, that rather
than not be married at all in this world,
therefore persons should• unadvisedly:
and under the influence' of sinister in
tents and purposes, form discordatit,
selfish, and uncongenial unions ;" and
most especially they should not form
such unions premeditatedly and clandes
tinely; because, under the most favora-
ble circumstances in which the fallen
sons of Adam can be placed, in this .our
day, there aie quite enough of triala and
temptations`that assail:them frOm with
out, independently of these worse en'e
miss of human peace, which assail them
from within,. Cultivating a living trust
in the .ordinances of the •Deity, and . ; a
practical faith that "in Him we . live ano
move and have our being.;',and that all
the permissions of ,his divine providence
are so many prevention of greater evils
that may have befallen the race, togeth
er with a patient resignation to the
things that are allowed to transpire for
our good, will do much to ameliorate
the moral condition of the burner' fami
ly and initiate a state of peace. But as
these things cannot be done without a
foregoing of self, and yielding
.to the
admonitions of reason and revelation, so
neither can a true state of wedded life
be attained, without that guidance which
can only come from above; and there
fore, 'regardless of prospective' worldly
advantages—of social position, wealth
and fame—of earth's renown and care
less ease—of sensuous gratifications and
pecuniary emoluments, let the sexes
patiently and perseveringly "work and
wait," and in the Lord's good time "all,
will be well" with them:; for there never
was a worthy young man or woman in
this world, that was not discovered by
some worthy individual of the opposite
sex, if it was best for eternal ends, that
such should have transpired on this
earth. Bat even if tbis.reward ofwa4t
ing is not realized upon the shoree of;

where the mere ties of earth are no
