Show o Unhappy Love Affairs. A clergyman discussing unhappy lovo affairs said: "Many a lovo tragedy is caused by a husband's promise to a dying wlfo that ho will not marry again. Ho thinks when ho makes this promise that it will bo easy to keep. Whether it is easy or hard to keep it is a promise prom-ise rarely, if ever, broken. "Time and again widowers have sought mo out for advico on this sub- ' ject They aro in love, but they prom ised their dead wives not to marry again. Shall they break or keep this I promise? I can only advlso them to do as their conscience dictates. 1 "At tho same timo I think it is selfish sel-fish for dying wives to extract such promises from their broken-hearted husbands. Such promises, by tho way, are rarely extracted by dying husbands hus-bands from broken-hearted wives. But then when tho dead husband's will Is read it is usually found that If tho widow marries again the money is all taken from her. So It comes to tho same thing In the end, doesn't It?" o |
