ENDURED DOMESTIC INJUSTICE.
There are men who Tor their toll AID

homes. Exhsusting application TO buSl
ness gets them livelihood but an un
frugal wife scatters it. He is tre;;ed a
iron the moment he enters the door unit
he goes out OF it, the exseparatioDs OF busI
uess life augmented by the evaporation!
of domestic life. Such men are laughed
at, but they have q hesrtbreaking trouble
and they would have long ago gone intt
appalling designations but Tor the grace o
God. Society to-day ia strewn with tht
wrecks OF men who under the NortheaS
storm Of domestic intelcly have beer
