Gentle at Home.

There are few families, We imagine anywhere, in
which love is not abused us furnishing license for
imp"liteueSs. husband father, brother will speak
harsh words those ~ hum he loves best, simply be-
cause The security OF love and family pride keeps him
from getting his head broken. II is II shame that Il
man will speak more impOlireIy times TO wife
sister than he would dare to any other female ex-
Cept low and vciOus 1t is thus that the holI-
est affections OF mans nature prove to be i weaker
protection TO woman in the family circle than the
restraints of socirty and that oman usually s in

polish exhibited in SOriety alone for the harsh
language and dsrep pecifuI treatment between those

Of Israel:
That the number Of those tnken away in the
diff rent cIp,ivities had been much OS~r-esti-
mated only the principal people having been
made captive as hostages, with the men OF war,
and oilers mos available AS slaves; that the
main body OF the ten tribes was not taken
away hv the AsSvrians. but were left in their
ancient possessions when they became again
partially subjected to the kings of Judah that
the tribes that ,=un be supp ,<-d 10 have been
