THE WIFE.-Only let a WON

The WIFE.-OnIy let a woman be
sure that she is precious to her husband
not useful, not valuable, not conven-
lent simply, but lovely and beloved; let
her be the recipient ofhis polite and hear
ty attention, let her feel that her care
and love are noticed, appreciated and re-
turned, let her opinion be asked, her ap
proval sought, and her judgement re-
spected in matters Of which she is cog
infant; in short, let her only be loved,
honored. and cherished, in fulfllment of
the marriage vow, and she will be to her
husband her children, and society we'll
spring of pleasure. She will bear pain,
and toll and anxiety, for her husbands
love is to her tower and fortress
Shielded and sheltered therein, adversity
will have lost its sting. She may suffer,
but sympathy will dull the edge of sor-
row. A house with love in it-and by
love ] mean love expressed in words, and
looks, and Deeds for [ have not one spark
of faith in love that never crops outs
to house without love, as person to
machine: one is Ii e, the other is mech
anism---the unloved woman may have
bread just as light, house just as tidy as
the other, but the latter has a spring Of
beauty about her, ajoyousness, an aggres-
sive penetrating, and pervading brightness
to which the former is stranger. The
deep happiness in her heart shines out in
her face. She CLEANS over it. 1t is airy,
and graceful, and warm and welcoming
with her presence; she is full of devices
and plots, and sweet surprise for husband
and family. She has never done with
the romance and poetry of life. She her
self is lyric poem sitting herself to all
pure and gracious melodies. Humble
household ways and duties have for her
golden significance. The prize makes
her calling high, and the end sanctifes
the means. "Love is Heaven, and Heav-
en- is Love"
