HELP OrIfERs.-You have no right
to be supremely selfish. You are not
given an existence here to accumulate
for selt-to pray for self, and to die
for self. The thousands around you,
with whom you come in daily contact,
have right to expect something from
you. But Il few solicit your charity
they ask for words, looks and acts
OF kindness. God never made frown-
ing, cross, grabbed man. If this is
your character, you may rely upon it,
the evil one had something to do with
your creation or you are now under
his dominion. The world around us
calls for pleasant looks, agreeable
words and kind acts. These all can
bcstow. BY being libcral-somctiIncs
with money, and then with sweet word
and looks--you assist materially your
fellow crcaturcs-your brothers and
sisters-and help them to bear the
sorrows oflilr, a.. d to be comparative

there is danger Of wounding her feel

word you utter, though you may ncv-
cr think of it again.
Dc not speak of some virtue in an.
other mans wife, to remind your own
of Il fault.
DO not reproach your wife with
personal defect, for if she has scMsibil-
lty, you infict 4 wound difficult to heal.
DO not treat your wife with inattcn
ton in'company. 1t touches her pride
and she will not respect YOU more,
or love you better Tor it.
DO not upbraid your wife in the
presence of a third person. The sense
ofyour disregard for her feelings will
prevent her from acknowledging her
fault.
40 not entertain your wife with
prnslng the beauty and accomplish
mcnt Of other women.
DO not too often invite your friends
to ride and leave your wife at home.
She might suspect that you esteemed
others more companionabic than her

If you would have q pleasant home
and cheerful wife, pass your evenings
under your own roof.
DO not be stern and silent in your
own house, and remarkable for your
sociabiity elsewhere.
Remember that your wife has as
much need Of recreation as yourself,
and devote q portion, at least, Of your
leisure hours, to such society and
amuscmcnts as she may join. by so
doing, you will secure her smilcsTlnd
increase her affection. DO not, bv be-
ing too exact in pccuniary matters,
make your wife feel her dependence
upon your bounty. 1t tends to lesson
her dignity Of character, and does not
increase her esteem for you. If she is
q sensible woman, she should be ac-
quaintcd with your business and know
your incomc-that she may regulate
her household expenses accordingly.-
BE i i gsmshlbcrcd that pecuniary affair

any-nthcr one cause. Your wife has
an equal right with yourself to all you
possess in the therefore she
should be made acquainted as nearly
as possible with that which is of great
Importance to both. Do not Withhold
this knowlcdgd in order to cover your
