Praise Your Wife.

Ave. praise your wife, and not by
words only. Why~do you praise any
,ne: To please him, make him hap
": Well, whom do you wish to
please and make happy than her upon
whom your own happiness depends:
So praise your wife, man!-if only
from selfish reasons. For just i'll pro-
portion as you render her happy, you
will increase your own happiness.
Why not have your house filled with
sunshine and beauty all the time when
YOU can so easily do it with kind
words and kind feelings, rather than
shut out the cheering, health-glving
light hy clouds of clurchliness? Your
feelings toward her are, doubtless,
kindly, brit how can she fully UNDER
stand them, if they are never eX-
pressed: What good does does the
gold do as long as it is hidden in the
depths of the mine: Bring out the
elittering metal, circulate it and let
its ring make music in the home circle.
Greet your wife with a kiss and Il
smile when you return home. You
would be indignant if we said you did
not love her, but how will you prove
that YOU do: When you praise her,
however, do it in delicate way, and
let her see the refinement of your
heart. How came she to love you, to
marry you: Did you not win her by
YOUR gentlemanly demeanor, and show
an appreciation of her charms: In
this way you attracted her attention
and charmed her until she loved you
with all her heart and soul. Now
strengthen your union by continued
exhibition of the same tenderness,
and praise every effort she makes for
your comfort and happiness. Praise
Your wife, / say ,again-whom should
you praise if not her: How delicious
to her ears are words of praise from
vour lips, How she treasures them
in her heart, and lives upon them
during your absence: Is she less a
woman by becoming your wife
Does she less need the expression OF
YOUR love. No! nol words of affec-
ton are quite as needful to the per-
fection of her daily life, to her hap
piness now as they were, and she
misses them, if they are withheld
from her as the flowers miss the sun.
shine when heavy clouds conceal its
life-giving rays. And if she seek:
praise from others because you ut
longer lavish it upon her, blame you
own thoughtlessness, not hers. Bu
YOU are, indeed objectionable if yo.
do not prevent her love from declining
But if you respect her rights, regar'
her feelings, and give her the pleas
ing attention she ought to receiv
from you, and there will be littl
complaint of her coldness, and sh
will he always ready to anticipat
rour wishes and pay heed to you
lesires. Praise your wife, then, an
.ot by words only-but by deed
,.lso.
