Courtesy IN Married life. t
There is magic in the little word Home :
it Is mystic circle which surrounds comforts
and virtues never known beyond its hallowet
precincts. The Vicar of Wakefield thus describe!
the etiquette of bis household 'sThe little com
munity to which gave laws was regulated il
the following manner We all assembled early
and after we had saluted each other with proper
ceremony (for always thought it fit TO keep uI
some mechanical forms Of good breeding
without which freedom ever destroys friendshps)
we all knelt in gratitude to that Being who gave
us another day. So, also, when we parted fol

| The old Wears precept and example, in this
regard, are we'll worthy the respect and imita
tion Of the rising generation. True courtesy
should guide US even in the most trifling mat
ters and the voice of prayer and Thanksgiving
should be heard within the house. The first
year OF married life is generally considered the
hardest. We incline to doubt that statement
| To be sure, the young couple are now forced to
| become acquainted with each Others peculiari-
ties, and we all have some that distasteful to
everybody but ourselves. While engaged, they
were only company" to each other after mar
riage they must be seen in every day colors, and
learn what tints wear the best. 1t has been said
thar every young couple who desire to make a
good gtart in life, must keep two bears in the
houss, aud feed them well, namely, bear and for

Between husband and wife there should be no
strife for supremacy. The husband is the heaven
ordained head, but each should study the Other
foles as we'll AS virtues being gentle towards
the first aud giving honor to the last.
Daily We see young people accepting the du-
ties OF married state who are utterly uneducated
for the life upon which they enter so thought
lessy. The young wife has been tenderly shielded
from all the cares or hardships of real life. The
young hus band may know more of the rough
| and tumble Of life, may have better studied men
and their ways, but, unless brought up with
sisters, he knows little OF women. II he has a
natural, tender, kind, and loving heart, all will
be we'll. He will feed his Jears. The trte old
saying, that mo quarrel can stalk about ON one
leg contains good deal OF wisdom. Would
that husbands and wives would bear it in mind !;
at the same time remember that II soft answer
turneth away wrath. The mighliest rivers have
their sources in small streams and the bitter
est domestic misery has often risen from some
trifling difference Of opinion, when the soft
answer wonld have smoothed all ripples in the
matrimonial current. ta}
When we see how large proportion of the
children of this age are entirely undiscipned, at
home, can we wonder that strife and heart

Unless children can be taught self fcontrol and
unselishness before they leave that home circle,
to become the light and life of another home, we
cannot hope that their lives will be happy or
their dwellings the abode OF peace
Much unhappiness would be avoided il hus-
bands and wives would only be as wel-bred and
polite to each other after marriage as they were
before. 1t would seem, often, as if their good
breeding was laid aside with the marriage dress
As children grow up around them, they follow
in the parents footsteps If the mother is needless
of the fathers Wishes and wanting in proper
Difference to his judgment, her sons and daugh-
tiers will soon adopt her ways II the father is
Indifferent or careless of the mother, meeting her
remarks with ridicule or sneers you may look
for the fruits Of his example in their children
