Mother, sister, wife, ure the three most
endearing earthly terms to man, we are
taught TO love and revere woman from the
earliest hour of our existence. The first
sweet accents Of love fell from our moth
ers' lips-our earliest recollectiODs are
filled with her goodness and care, and her
sweet face fills the memory-when she
spake 10 us in gentle approval or Kind
reprOef of our childish actions, her tones
we're those of love. We can never forget
her anxiety when we were sick or In
trouble, and how greatly increased all OF
her anxicties in our behalf as we ap
preached manhood. In our school boy
days when we returned from school, WITH
our good reports or reward Of merit, her
qualification filed our hearts with harpi.

tered into lIfe's struggles, she stimulated
us to duty and exertion ~ her csunsels
when our efforts were rewarded by sue
cess, how proudly she leaned upon the
strong arm of her boy. Yes, her boy tho
the world may have a giant in intellect
or an Adonis IN person. When she was
called from earth to that happier home
above, her last accents were heard in
prayer for her boy. What man is there
who can ever forget what is due to wo-
man, when he reflects and thinks of his

Then it may De we had sister, who
taught us by her affection, gentlencss,
modesiy aud purity, yes, by her very
weakness, that God has given us woman
10 love, cherish and protect and gave US
sisters, that by their delicacy of thought,
feeling and action, to restrain and mou d
our sterner and cnaser natures, adding
another lesson to that of our mothers, TO
l.ye, esteem and ever respect her sex.
Whtn we reach manhood, and nre
thrown out into the world in life's strug-
giles, separated from mother and sister, we
feel the want of their companionship, and
seek that Of woman, 1t may be to fiud a
wife 10 establish for ourselves home.
whe that has a good wife but feels that he
is better iberebys All know that the
power Of wife for good or evil is irresis-
table. Home must be the scat Of happi-
ness or be unknown for ever. good
wife is to man OF wisdom and courage,
strength and endurance. A bad wife is
confusion, weakness, discontinue, des-
pair. No condition is hopeless, where the
wife possesses frmness and discretion ana
economy.
There is no outward prosperity which
can counferact Incidence, extravagance
and folly at home. No spirit can endure
bad domestic influence. Man is strong,
but he is not adamant lie delights in
enterprise a1d action, but to sustain him
he needs tranquil mind and a whole
heart. Heneeds his morals in his con-
ficis with the world. To recover his
cauauimity and composure, home must be
a place Of repose, cheerfniness, peace add

cherish and protect woman, thereby Lon
orine our mothers, sisters and wives.
