Domestic Thunder Storms.

Not many lovers, I suppose, have found that their wedded life answered quite to the dreams of their courtship—not quite, mine didn’t. Yet who would enter a complaint against heaven because May does not quite match with October? If my experience can be of any use, I think a thunder storm, so it was not to do mischief, may sometimes

clear the atmosphere under the roof about as well as it does outside. And so sure lam of its blessing that when I hear people say they have lived together five-and-twenty years and never had the least difference, I wonder if they havo not Lad a great deal of indifference. It is the lesson we have to learn, too, throngh our saddest and most painful bereavements.— Robert Collyer.
