The Laws Of Domestic Storms.- House,
hold Hints.

There are periods in life (says the Pail
born to harass and bewilder each other
where is the son who, on arriving of age,
has not gone in the very opposite direction
to his fathers wishes, either with regard to
calling, opinions, or marriage? Where is the
father who has not walked up some morning
to the conviction that with the best inten-
tions in the world the parental relation is a
failure? If he is a philosopher, he will sub
NIT to the inevitable with good grace, and
argue thus: eyes, it was all very well to
dream when my son lay in his cradle, how
happy l should be if he ever grew to be a
man. To have him as friend, companion,
and adviser. All! life would indeed be worth
having. But how differently things turn out
to what one expects! He has taken up with
hateful opinions ON politics, religion, and
everything else worth thinking about. He is
determined to marry an odious woman. He
criticises and distrusts my most serious con-
victions. We shall always maintain affec-
tionate relations, but, as to friendship, that is
quite another thing" If, on the other hand,
he is dull-headed and iron-willed, the tran
sient GOODNESS is sure to lead to an irrevocable
separation. On which, indeed, of the do
domestic relations does not disenchantment
at some time or other wait?
But why should we lose faith in our rela-
tions if, when weighed in the balance, they
are found wanting? In nine cases out of ten
there is very inadequate basis for domestic
discord, whether conjugal, parental, or fra
ternal. The beginning and end is most often
disappointment. wise man will never
let his wife know that he has fallen short of
his ideal. The wise woman will never show
that she does not think her husband hero.
They will exercise toward each other the
same sort of hopeful forbearance that they
exercise toward their friends and fellow-citi-
zens in general. We often bear all kinds of
grievances from the outer world with a good
grace when half the amount of provocation
would suffice to produce very whirlwind at
home.
The laws of domestic storms are indeed
simple enough when studied practically
Some unfortunate men and women spend
their lives in devising how this or that squall
is to be avoided. Like the Dukes daughter
in Mr.. Disraelfs amusing novel, who, if her
husband cried for the moon, promised it to
him Immediately, they are always ready to
say black is white for the sake of being agree
able. AT night, if they say their prayers at
ALL they can't help wishing that they might
with propriety include a thanksgiving for
having kept the dreaded objects of their affec-
tions in good temper for a day. But the sort
of people who subject themselves to such
life of shifts, shams, and petty little secrets
know nothing of the tragedy of great storm.
They get battered about, and are always in
dirty weather, but they do not go wholly to
pieces.
