TRIBUTES TO WIVES) WORDS OF TENDERNESS UTTERED I BY GREAT MEN. f ihe Homage That Tom Hood Paid to the Partner of 111 m Sorrow* and joyti—Jean Paul Itivhter'N I nstinted Praise of Caroline Mayer. Few great men have paid more en- ! thuslastic tributes to their wives than i Tom Hood, and probably few wives have better deserved such homage, says the Chicago Chronicle. "You will think," he wrote to her in one of bis letters, “that I am more foolish than any boy lover, and I plead guilty, for never was a wooer so young of heart and so steeped in love as I, but it is a love sanctified and strengthened by I long years of experience. May God I ever bless my darling, the sweetest, I most helpful, angel who ever stooped | to bless a man!” Has there ever, we wonder, lived a wife to whom a more | delicate and beautiful tribute was paid ; than those verses of which the burden I is, "I love thee, I love thee; ’tis all that I can say?” "I want thee much,” Nathaniel Haw- j thorne wrote to his wife many years I after his long patience had won for | him the flower "that was lent from | heaven to show the possibilities of the human soul.” "Thou art the only per- I son in the world that ever was neces- | sary to me, and now I am only myself I when thou art within my reach. Thou | art an unspeakably beloved woman.” I Sophia Hawthorne was little better | than a chronic invalid, and it may be | that this physical weakness woke all | the deep chivalry and tenderness of the : man. And he reaped a rich reward for j an almost unrivaled devotion in the ! “atmosphere of love and happiness and > Inspiration” with which his delicate ■ wife always surrounded him. The wedded life of Wordsworth with | his cousin, "the phantom of delight,” j was a poem more exquisitely beautiful I than any his pen ever wrote. Mrs. I Wordsworth was never fair to look I upon, but she had that priceless and I rarer beauty of soul which made her I life "a center of sweetness” to all I around her. “All that she has been to me,” the poet once said in his latter days, “none but God and myself can ever know,” and it would be difficult to find a more touching and beautiful picture in the gallery of great men’s lives than that of Wordsworth and his ' wife, both bowed under the burden of I many years and almost blind, "walking i hand in hand together in the garden, with all tlie blissful absorption and I tender confidence of youthful lovers. ! I It never needed "the welding touch I of a great sorrow" to make the lives i I of Archbishop Tait and his devoted ■ I wife "a perfect whole.” Speaking of \ I her many years after she had been I taken from him. he said. “To part from i I her. if only for a day, was a pain only " less intense than the pleasures with which I returned to her, and when 1 took her with me it was one of the purest joys given to a man to watch | 8 the meeting between her and our chil j dren.” { When David Livingstone had passed I his thirtieth birthday, with barely a thought for such "an indulgence as : 1 wooing and wedding,” he declared humorously that when he was a little less busy he would send home an advertisement for a wife, "preferably a decent sort of widow,” and yet so un- , consciously near was his fate that only a year later be was Introducing his bride, Mary Moffat, to the home lie had I built, largely with his own hands, at Mabotsa. From that "supremely happy hour” to the day when, eighteen years later, he received her "last faint j ■whisperings” at Shupanga, no man ever |, had a more self sacrificing, brave, devoted wife than the missionary’s daughter. In fact, they were more like two happy, light hearted children than sedate married folk, and under the magic of their merriment the hardships and dangers of life in the heart! of the dark continent were stripped of all their terrors. Jean Paul Richter confessed that he never even suspected the potentialities of human happiness until lie met Caroline Mayer, “that sweetest and most gifted of women,” when he was fast approaching his fortieth year, and that he had no monopoly of the resultant happiness is proved by his wife's declaration that "Richter is the purest, the holiest, the most godlike man that lives; • * * to be the wife of such a man is the greatest glory that can fall to a woman,” while of his wife Richter once wrote, “I thought when I married her that I bad sounded the depths of human love, but I have since realized ; i how unfathomable is the heart In ' I which a noble woman lias her shrine.” Ont Went the- Bandbox. Lord Ellenborough, the groat English ' judge, was once about to go on circuitl when Lady Ellenborough said that she should like to accompany him. He replied that he had no objection, provided she did not incumber the carriage with bandboxes, which were his utter ab horrence. During the first day’s journey Lord Ellenborough, happening to stretch his legs, put bls foot through something below the seat. He discovered that it was a bandbox. Up went the window and out went the bandbox. The coachman stopped, and the footman, thinking that the bandbox bad tumbled out of the window by some extraordinary chance, was going to pick It up when Lord Ellenborough furiously called out, “Drive on!” The bandbox accordingly was left by the ditch side. Having reached the country town where he was to officiate as Judge, J.ord Ellenborough proceeded to array hintself for his appearance in the courthouse. "Now,” said he, "where's niy wig—where Is tny wig?” “My lord.” replied the attendant, “It was thrown out of the carriage window.”
