 If Il woman aspires to ruling her hus. band that is the very last course for her to take 4' ae- g3Fa
 Pray then advise me, for sm will. ing to do anything which m y result in changing the conduct of my husbund D
 "A woman has the choice between two modes of action in such cases. If her husband chooses to consider himself ab. solue and her a mere serf, she has only 10 appear as such, assume no sresponsi. bility, manifest no will of her own allow household affairs to take care of them selves, and withal appear cheerful all the while, and Le will soon find the nacess- ty of coming to terms"
 "A capital idea, and should Ike 10 try it."
 That would answer in extreme eases, but l would not advise if as your mode There is still another and better way, 1 think, to accomplish your purposes. In the first place strive to please him, and let him see that you have some heart in the effort Shake off your apathy, and meet him with smiles when he returns from business. Show him that you are trying to be conented and happy, and wish to make others so about you If you wish 10 change his determination, advise calmly, but do not dictate or ap- pear to resist, Be true to this line of conduct, anu you will find it to succeed earlier than you think"
 My excellent friend, you have open. ed my eyes, see that have been too intent upon my husbands conduct, to regulate my own" .~.. .

Fora moment, he looked surprised at this unusual greeting, espe- cialy when he WAS delinquent, then the clouds lifted from his brows, and he rewarded her first experiment with q | look of tenderness, which in turn aston. | ished her,
 | During the meal, she seemed 30 cheerv and happy, that he could but wonder at the change which had so suddenly come over her. He also thought of the con. versation he had with his friend in the morning, and while he resolved to abste not jot of his authority, he determined in future 10 make known his will In milder manner than he had previously done. In short, if his wife continued in the same happy temper that he had 10 unexpectedly found her, he made up his | hind that she should never have scasoa to regret it. "simon,' said she one day, .'ionv you think we need new carpet In the sitting room ?"
 No, l do not"
 70, very well, l do not insist, but per. haps you are not aware that it's worn through in several places"
 "So il is, upon my word. Well,l never noticed il before." ~" nuo" HUI "e neeu ore m one of the chambers, about which we were speaking the other day, and when 1 frs, spoke, thought this might ans wer for that, and that perhaps you would bs willing to purchase new one for this room." .a "~ Well, this does not seem so unretson- able after all." a
 There IS no paticular hurry about R. you can purchase Il when convenient. or 1t will be no serious matter after all. if we do not have one at present"
 70, we had better have i. at once by all means"
 "Just as you please"

 Why, Simon, was net thinking of making the purchase. l would rather leave that 10 you"
 No, you would doutuess make bel. ter selection"
 Then give me as much as you think proper, and will do the best can.''
 Harriet" he said putting his arm aronnd her waist, t,'1 don't know wha, has come over you, but you are certainly getting 10 be Il reasonable woman.'
 That is perhaps because have found out that you are not an unreasonable man."
 Incidents like these were occurring daily, and Mrs Silcox WAS greatly pleas. ed to find that she was having her own way almost as much as she could desire, and with very little efforI on her psr,. Things about her, too, wors a differsn, aspect, and her gratitude to her friend for her adyire, was unbounded.
