is not good for man t. be aloho We all
! reed the motherly, and We must find 1t ina
wife. DO you know what think the pret.
ticst story of courtship ever read it is
the account of Isaac's marriage with Rc.
hccca, away back in the simple old times.
You remember the ending of it. And
Isaac brought her into his motEcr Sarahs
tent, and took RcLccca. and she became his
wife, and Isaac WAS comiortcd for his moth
crs death There's the philosophy of it,"
he added, Its tho mother living again in
the wife The mothcriy instinct is iu tho
hearts Of all true women, aud sooner or later
the true wife becomes a mother to her hus-
band. She guides him, cares him teaches
him and catrchiScS him, all in the incest way
possible. Why, I'm sure | never should
know how to get along day without Polly
to teach me the rcquirings and forbddcns
| Of the commandments, to lecture me for go
ing out without my muller, AM sec that
put on my fanncls at the right time, to in>
sist that shall take something for my cough
and raise u rebellion to my going out when
| there's northcLstcr. So much for tho
body, and as for the soul lifr believe it is
n woman who holds faith in the world-it
is a woman behind the wall, casting oil OH
the fire that burns brighter, while tho devil
pourS on water and you'll never get Chris
tainity out OF the earth while there's n won:-
an in it, Id rather have my wifo's and
your mothers opinion on m aiming of
text of Scripture, than all the Doctors of
| Divinity, aud their faith is an achor that al
ways hold. Some jackanapcs or other
read once, said every woman wanted a mas
ter, and was forlorn without husband
as Il mastcrlcss dog It's great deal trucr
that every man wants mother. Men arc
more lurlorn than mastcrlcss dogs, a great
at the homes single women make for them
selves; how neat, how cosy, how bright with
the oil OF glatlncss. The fact is, women
arc born comfort makers, and can get along
by themselves great deal better than wo
can,-" t"ch Jacob" IN Mrs. 'Sto~c's Story
