Interesting to Wives.

|
The wife has been much advanced
by the general tenor Of legislation of
late years in respect to her own pro-
perty. She has acquired a pretty
independent position as to title, con-
troll and disposition, but this relates
to her property, not to mis-. The law
has not yet raised her to the station
of superintendent of her husbands
contracts and probably never will.
He is bound to support her and the
children which she bears to him, and
in order to fulfill this obligation he
ought to have as much freedom in the
management of his business affairs of
the world as unmarried men are al
lowed to exercise. In taking a wife
q man does not put himself under an
overseer. He is not subordinate in
his own family, but the head of it.
The law assigns him that position,
not for his own advantage alone but
as much for the real good Of his wife
and children and somewhat FOR the
general interest of society. A hus-
band left free to lead and govern in
his own family is the most useful
husband to all who may be concerned
in the results of his conduct. That
exception to this rule may be pointed
out is no objection to or disproof of
the rule itself. Human institutions
are all more or less imperfect, and
their complete efficiency in practical
working cannot be expected in every
instance. It is enough ifthey produce
benefcence to the great means and in
the great majority Of cases. A SUBJ
iugated husband is less rleasing and
less energetic member of society than
one who keeps his true place yet knows
who to temper authority with affec-
ton. The law does not discourage
conjugal consultations or free and
voluntary co. operation all transactions
which affect or may affect the welfare
of the family. But the law does not
undertake to secure this delightful
harmony by coercion, but leaves it to
assure spontaneously from the holy
relation Of nIstrimony.

between his mother and his wife Tom
never knew: but when at midnight
he walked in, wan and haggard, he
found them sitting hand in hand,
watching with trouble faces, little
Phirs uneasy slumbers. He was too
overwrought to trust himself to speak ;
but, going down on his knees, he put
his arms about them both and the
three wept together. During the anx
ious DAYS that followed, while Nature
was knitting together the poor little
broken bones in the baby arm,
Il knitting together of hearts was also
