You have now ceased to be a child. Yesterday's ceremony made you a woman, and you must try to be a good and sensible one. Instead of looking back with regret and despondency, fix your eyes dispassionately on the future. Depon upondit, Rose, on one who has duties to perform, and a loving heart, need be really unhappy. 1 know that at your age it is* difficult to be satistied with but a tolerable sort of existence. You had fancied that you were to be, one day, intensely happy. You think that this can never now be the case, and your fate seems to you a rery hard and extraordinary one. My dear child, the happiness you had pictured to yourself is of very rare occurrence. Those who have a strong power of loving do not often meet with a return, and it is perhaps still moie terrible to lose a blessing once lian never to have had it. " .Many and many women have seen their hopes and their joys vanish before they had scarcely been realized. They have had ,-,> themselves, 'It is for ever at an end, that romantic bliss I thought I had secured.' They have felt as if it would be ible to live without it, but they have done without it, and found in life a fair share of happiness. There are in your des- tiny some compensations." "You are not going, Aunt Mode, to speak to me like mamma of my carriage and my gowns," Rose bitterly exclaimed, spurning with her little foot the lace trimmings of her wedding dress. Xo, my child; what I allude to are higher and better consothau those. I want you to think of the duties which the sacrament of marriage imposes upon Catholic Christians, and the blessings attached to it. I wish you to reflect upon the particu- lar duties you are called upon to perform. From this day forward an important task is assigned to you, young as you are, and a great responsibility. The ordinary course of things is somewhat reversed in your case. Instead of becoming the wife of a man who could guide and direct you, it is your lot to be married to one whom you will have to watch over, to lead, to take care of. My child, there is something sacred in such a mission. It is a holy duty assigned to a woman to be a kind of guardian angel to one weaker, in every respect, than herself. Yesterday you were a child a thoughtless girl. To-day you will begin to be your husband's protector, his counselor, and his friend. You will be to him what his mother has been. You will teach him how sweet it is to be cared for, and to care for others. And who knows, his heart and his mind may expand in the genial atmosphere of domestic happiness, and you may be led by witnessing a great change in his moral and mental state. Love the love which springs from the highest of principles and the most sacred of duties, is a great worker of mira- iiil in any case there is not a higher, or a sweeter mission, than to bind the wounds of the heart. Infinite graces, heavenly blessings without number, descend upon those who devote themselves to this task. Believe me, dearest Rose, those who make sacrifices to duty, who accept the chalice which the will of their Father in heaven holds to their lips, and carry their cross with c after their suffering Lord, know deeper and truer joys than those of selfish or worldly souls, who think of nothing but their own enjoyments."
