No trait Of character il moro valuable in
female than the possession Of sweet temper
Homo Gun never be mnde happy without it,
tbs like the flowers that spring nn in our
pathway, reviving and cheering us. Let II
man go homo at night, wenred and worn
out by tho tolls Of the day, and how soothing
IS word dictated by good disposition. |,
Is sunshine falling upon his heart. Ile il
happy' and tho cares of life arc forgotten. A
sweet temper has soothing influence ov :
the minds Of whole family. Where il il
found in wife and mother you observe
kindness and love predominntc over tho bad
feelings of natural heart. Smiles, kind
words and looks characterize the children,
End pence and love hnyo thcir dwelling tbore.
Study, then, to acquire and retuin sweet
temper. 1t is more valuable than gold
IT cnptivates more than beauty and to tho
plose Of life it r6taihs all its freshness and
power.
