about squalling babies if you can't keep
up nursery" and remember that baby
may take after papa in his disposition !:
don't smoke and chew tobacco, and thus
shatter your nerves, and spoil your tenn

then complain that your wife declines to
kiss you; 60 home joyous and cheerful to
your wife and tell her the good news you
have heard, and not silently put on your

the evening at the opera or at fancy ball
with Mrs. Dash. Love your wife, be pa
tient: remember that you are not perfect,
but try to be !; let whisky, tobacco, and
vulgar company alone; spend your even
ings with your wife, and live decent,
Christian life, and your wife will be loving
and true-if you did not marry thought
less beauty without sense or worth; if you
did, who is to blame if you suffer the con-
sequences?
