Your children's mother. Behold her,
husband. aud behold the pluck with
which she manages, often under the
mostIrying circumstances, her domes-
tic affairs. Note The tact she displays,
the patient forbearance, the persistent
tenderness she extends to the little
rebels under her rule. But note also.

penitent, see how gladly the hand of
forgiveness is extended TO him.

own feelings for those around her.
