sense, and the young couple should get
sensible or separate.

8. JEALOUSY.--When one of the lovers, once so tender, now all at once so
cold and hardened; once so coy and familiar, now suddenly so reserved,
distant, hard and austere, is always a sure case of jealousy. A jealous
person is first talkative, very affectionate, and then all at once changes
and becomes cold, reserved and repulsive, apparently without cause. If a
person is jealous before marriage, this characteristic will be increased
rather than diminished by marriage. {157}

9. CONFESSION.--If you make up by confession, the confessor feels mean and
disgraced; or if both confess and forgive, both feel humbled; since
forgiveness implies inferiority and pity; from which whatever is manly and
womanly shrinks. Still even this is better than continued "spats."

10. PREVENTION.--If you can get along well in your courtship you will
invariably make a happy couple if you should unite your destinies in
marriage. Learn not to give nor take offence. You must remember that all
humanity is imperfect at best. We all have our faults, and must keep them
in subordination. Those who truly love each other will have but few
difficulties in their courtship or in married life.

11. REMEDIES.--Establishing a perfect love in the beginning constitutes a
preventive. Fear that they are not truly loved usually paves the way for
"spats." Let all who make any pretension guard against all beginnings of
this reversal, and strangle these "hate-spats" the moment they arise. "Let
not the sun go down upon thy wrath," not even an hour, but let the next
sentence after they begin quench them forever. And let those who cannot
court without "spats," stop; for those who spat before marriage, must
quarrel after.

A Broken Heart.

1. WOUNDED LOVE.--Tis true that love wields a magic, sovereign, absolute,
and tyrannical power over both the body and the mind when it is given
control. It often, in case of disappointment, works havoc and deals death
blows to its victims, and leaves many in that morbid mental condition which
no life-tonics simply can restore. Wounded love may be the result of hasty
and indiscreet conduct of young people; or the outgrowth of lust, or the
result of domestic infidelity and discord.
