FAMOUS LOVE AFFAIRS. SOME PEOPLE MAKE AN ESPECIAL STUDY OF IT. An Exception lo the ltulc ol‘ Marrying lu Ilaslc null chchllng :il In-Isurc- 0 Ivor (‘roniwrll nu Ardent Lover of Ill~ “ Ilc. 4 Love affairs may become famous in themselves from their intensity, their length, the figure they cut in a law court, or from anything else out of the common connected with them. Or they are famous becauSc they are or were the affairs of cele- brated people It is in this latter sense that Ws use the phrase. If the most commonplace ivooing of the most commonplace people possesscs an irresistible interest, wlat shall be said when the loves on which we look are the loves of lhe immortals? iAnd first let us think how some of those whose especial study is love, that is to Bay the poets, have managed their own love affairs. It is true that poelusters and pretenders to genius have always had short tempers, and wild. undomeslic ways, but what of real poets and those who have the long patience of real genuisf : It would seem that for good family men who can love their wives and bring up their children respectany they can not be beaten. "Men do not make their homes unhappy because they have genius,” says Wordsworth, "but because they have not enough genius. A mind and sentiment of higher order would render them capable of seeing and feeling all the beauty of domes- tlc ties.” Of this Wordsworth him- self is an example. Miss Martineau, who was a neighbor of his, describes how very happy he and his wife went down the hill of life together. "They seemed like lovers courting, they were so tender and attentive to each other.” Referring to the obscurity ofl much of Browning’s poetry, Wads-' worth said, when he heard that thel poet was going to marry Miss Bar- rett, the poetess, "I hope they’ll un- derstand one another.” Certainly Mrs. Browning did think that she unâ€" derstood her husband, for she wrote to a friend, "Nobody exactly under- stands him except me, who am in thei inside of him and hear him breathe.” 'llf it is a risk to marry any poet, it seemed to Miss Barrett’s friends a tempting of Providence and a doublâ€" ing of this risk for two of this irrit-l able profession to wed. Contrary to: expectations, the result was excepâ€"g tional happiness. In the biography of Robert Browning there are the fol- lowing words, which ought to be con- sidered by all who would solve ihe. problem: "How to be happy though married”â€"â€""The deep heartâ€"love, the many-sided intellectual sympathyfi preserved their union in rare beauty, to the end. But to say that it was maintained itself as if by magic wit'h-i out effort of self-sacrifice on his part or of resignation no hers, would be IS unjust to the noble qualities of both as it would be false to assert that its compensating happiness had over failed them.” The other great master of song belonging to our time and country was also conspicuous for conjugal felicity. In 1850 Tennyson married Miss Emily Sellwood, ihe daughter of a solicitor. The young couple loved for the first two years at Twickenham. Their first baby died, but in 1853 there was another, a year oldl “crazy with laughter, and. babble, and ‘ EARTH‘S NEW \VlNE.” 5 No more beautiful love of man for woman is on record than that of Dante for Beatrice, whom he saw first in .1274. He only met her once or tWice; nevertheless, when she married he fell seriously ill, and when she died, .as she did shortly after, his life} was in danger, and he became "a. thing wild and savage to look upon”; Throughout the cheerless wanderingsj of .a stormâ€"beaten existence Beatrice was the muse of his intellect and the angel of his soul. On April 6, 1327, happened ihe most famous event in Petrarch's history.a He saw Laura for the first time. Who. Laura was remains uncertain still.I We may, however, rejecl the skeptical hypothesis that she was a mere figâ€"i. ment of the poet's fancy; and, if we accept her personal reality, the poems of her lover demonstrate that she was a married woman, with whom he eli- joyed a respectful and am very inâ€"‘ timnto friendship. The poet and divine, John Donne. who became Dean of St. Paul’s in 16:31, had married a lady belonging to a‘ rich family without the consent of her parents, and in consequence was treat- ed with great asperity; in fact, he was told by his father-inâ€"laxv that he was not to expect any money from him. The doclor went home and penâ€", ned the pithy note: "John Donne, And no Donne, undone," which he sent io‘ the gentleman in question, and this had the effect of restoring them to favor. The couple were very poor at first. but things soon got ill‘lghtfil‘,1 and they lived most happily iopeiher. unlil Mrs. Donne, who had been mar-l ried when only 16 years of age, clicd» sixteen years afterward at the bith of her twelfth child. Another poet and divine who was nol undone by his marriage, bu: really helped and comforted, was corge Herbert. It was an excep-i rinn lo the marrying in basic and re-1 m wing in leisure rule, for he and his] mic married on the third day 'IfU"?! l l their first interview, and “there was never any opposition betwixt them, unless it were a conlest which should most incline to a compliance with the olher’-; desires." Herbert made his wife his almoni-r, and paid lo her re- gularly a lcnlb of all he rcceived as tithes, to bc spcni on THE POOR 013‘ HIS PARISH. There was :in evcepiion, however. to lhc rule of marrying in haste and rc-i willing at lcisuro in the case of Wal- ler Savage l.:indor and his wife The poet incl his fulure wife at a ilmii, and lelermined on ihe instant to marry her. Eli‘s. think lhnl "n Landor (-nmc i0 conVcrsation with her llllhilllllll was in-' complcic “illluul a qualrcl.“ Eli-n in lhc honcymoou she wounded the poor man’s vanin. Lundor was rcad- ing some of his own verses io'liis bridal â€"and who rcad more exquisiiclyiâ€" whcn all ai once the lady, relcasmg herself from his arm, jumped up, say-i int! "Oh, do siop. \Valtcr, lhcre‘s ihat dear delightful Punch performing in the street; [must look out of lhc window.” And. oh! if Ihcre be an Elysium on earth, It is this, it is ihis. Thomas Moore, who wrote words: conjugal happiness. From 1811, llic ycar of his marriage, to 1852. that of his death, his Bcssy received from him the homage of a lover. Wlialchr amusement hc inighi find in the grand those sociciy in which he mixed, he always returned to his wife and children with a fresh feeling of delighi. Many woman deserve, bui woâ€" f e w mcn receive, such an I. O, U. as ihnl . which Hood gave his wife. "I never wasanyihing,dearest. till I knew Wu' and I have been a better, happier. and more proapcrous man ever sinife- Lay that tiulh in lavender, sweetcsl. nr-l remind me of it when I fail." Notwithstanding he would occasionally play harmless practical jokcs upon her. Once, when staying at Brighton. he gave her a few hints on buying fish. and concluded by ‘ saying "If ihc fish you are buying is plaice, beware of any having red or orange spols, as ihcy are certain to be stale." When the fisherwoman came around ii happened that sllc. had liitle except plaice. and Mrs. Hood 0b- scrved lhal all had spots against which she had been warned.‘ the hinted to the fish \\ its that they ware not fresh, and, upon being assured that they had not been long out of the water, she observed, "My good wo~~ man, it may be as you say, bUi 1 could noi lhink of buying any plaice with those very unpleasant red spots." The woman’s answer, which Hood heard with delight from behind the door, was a perfect shout, "Lord bless your eyes, mum, who ever see’d any without them!” On August 22, 1620, Oliver Crom- well married Elizabelh Bouhcer. daughter of a knight and wealthy London merchant. Mrs. Cromwell may ' not have had much character, but her husband never ceased to love her, and thirty years after their marriage he \‘lr'll'OlC to her, the day after Dunbar; ":ruiy think I err not on the other hand too much. Thou art dearer to me than any creature; let that suffice." Gen. Gordon said he never married because he never found a woman preâ€" pared to accompany him to the ends of the earth. Such a woman Sir Henry Lawrence did find. 5116 went with him into nearly every place in India where his work brought him, howe\ er DIFFICUL’I‘ 0ft DANGEROUS. One day ihe scarcely less cclebraied Lord John Lawrence was sitting in his drawing room at Soulhgate with his sister and other members of the family. whicl' he hud been engrossed, be dis- covered that his wife had left the room. “\Yllere's mother l" he asked one of his daughters. "She’s upâ€" stairs," replied the girl. He returned to his book; and, looking up again a few mi nuies later, he put the same question to his daughter, and receiv- ed the same answer. Oboe more he iurnetl to his reading; once more he looked up with the same question on his lips. ’l‘hei‘eupon his sister broke in :."\\'hy, really, John, it would seem as if you could not get on five minutes \iithoui your wife." "That’s why I married her," he replied. “My face is my foriune, sir," said. From the day when liing ('opâ€" heiuz. wedded the “bcggur maid," cases have. from time to time occurred of men of high 120siiion marrying girls who were 1101 born in the purple, and whosl- faces were ihcir only foriune. she lIn 179] Henry t‘ecil, heir to the titles and estates of an old uncle, found a wife, not in Bolgraviit. but in Bolas, a counii‘y viliugc of Shropshire. lle had inken shvlier in a cottage from a sioim of thunder and rain and, as the rain got worse and worse, begged thai he might be allowed to stay lill morning, even if he had only a chair “lo rest upon in the lower room." This request was grudgingly granted by Thomas Huggins. [he owner of the house, because, in answer to inquiries as in why he was wandering about, Cecil spoke vaguely and unsatisfac- torily,and at last said he was an "unâ€" dcriakei,” taking refuge in the vague- ness of the land.
