Husbands.
Editor Press and Banner. :.

Who has ever defined, truly and we'll, all
the relations of the home? SO many homes
have been made unhappy and wretched by
mistakes in association and in government.
rs we'll as in duties and IN service, that we
are at least. safe in saying that no Uniform
theory of home life has ever been adopted {:
ifindeed, 1t has ever been suggested or con-
ceived. TO make home happy, what arc the
duties of the husband and what the service
of the wife? Are they separate and distinct,
or, cooperative and sympathetic? 1t is be-
from active contact, with all details Of home
life; Or is II becoming, when opportunity al-
fords. to find him side by side, with his wife,
subject to her control, in the work she does,
IN the routine OF her service?
God intended the home should be the an
tetype of Heaven-love its ruling principle.
with sentleness, forbearance and forgiveness
governing it's associations and making its
union: in all these we believe. for the best
good there must be :hc sympathy of service.
We are sure that this idea, in its perfection,
can never be reached without the sweet in
huences and strong support of a Christian
lie and Christian character; yet it can be ap.
preached, and he lives best, who preserves
the sanctity of his home, In the loving kind
ness Of it's inmates. through their sympathy
of help. Whatever may be the life b. fore the
world, in it's charities. its devotions and its
usefulness, it is all belied. if these things are
forgotten in the more secret and sacred pre-,
places in which the husband should be the
help-male, and, II need be, the servant of his
Wife.
Some little time since, we looked into the
face OF q tired woman, burdencd with the
cares of Il large and growing household.
From early dawn until late at night, she
struggled patiently with her servants, her
children and her duties; her devotion was as
sweet rs her manner was gentle. Her energy
wqs greater than her strength, and her duties
Were more than she could discharge. Brave
and true and faithful, "She did what she
could" Tired and exhausted, she folded her
arms and laid down to die, a martyr TO duty.
Her husband, with ample time on his hands,
liever ordered the grain to the mill: never
measured meal to be served; never helped
her To make II bed or dust room too much OF
D gentleman ever TO know the details OF do
;lncslic life; he looked upon his wife as she
faded away WITHOUT his sympathy Of service.
Was he right to with hold it? Let the ques-
tion be ased in all the homes where we are
heard, and let it be answered. Is there hIs
band who makes home as 1t should be, who
has never been With his wife, Or, rather for
his wife; to the coffee mill. the sugar barrel,
the tiour bin, the meal tub, the meat house or
the potato bank? AS The beautiful charity OF
the Scripture is not embodied in, "be ye
warmed and be We filed" so the sweet devo-
lion Of home life is not found in empty pro:
9ession of affection, without the fullest and
tenlerest sympathy Of homeserYicc.

No. 2 was performed in most effective
manner. and received the greatest amount
OF applause. This number displayed the
fine strength of the band; the broken time
carried by the baritoneS and counter BASES;
the Saltatorial movement sustained by the
reeds and the dramatic effects in the forte
passage, giving performance that was un-
equalled for military band. The fantasia
for clariOnets was one of the pleasant
features of the evening. and the saXophone
solo of Nj. LeFebre and the euphonium solo
of Signor RatfayOlo introduced two inStru-
mentS little understood. and were rare
treats. The vocal numbers of
the program were rendered by
prominent soloiSts. Miss Letitia
Fritch, who posses soprano voice of great
range and tleXibility, sang the aria "Carni-
val of Venice" Her work was artistic,
her shading in the variations being as deli
cate as lace wool. Mile. De Lussan, who
Will be remembered as appearing here this
season with the Boston Ideals, rendered a
cavatina, Una Voce POGO Fa," in charm
ing manner. Mile. De LusSan possesses
meZZo-soprano voice of great compass, and
her lower register is full of mellow notes.
The cavatina was gracefully sung and the
impression she created in concert was de-
cdedly favorable. Mr.JuleS LON bard, the
well known baritone, gave II Fear No
Foe" and for an encore sang ''Rocked in
the Cradle of the Deep" The choral part
of the numbers was sustained in an even
manner by the Philharmonic chorus. The
concert was great success. the band and
artists receiving hearty applause, the en-
cores being numerous, and of such pop
ular nature as to awaken the greatest en-
thuSiaSm in the audience.
