That marriage is a sacred pact among men of all races and creeds is determined. The Anglicans would have it thus and who are American men to say different, unless, in the way of American men, they differ in most everything. For, lo, the American gentleman knows that marriage is a wondrous thing. It is a long and unbecoming cultivation of hardship, and hopes for the future, and faith in each other, and thus can scarcely be confined to what most men would have it be. American husbands apportion to marriage no more than the office itself will return. They are unbounded, in this sense and better fit to stay the course.
