IRE, ana mecnanfcal ileY anu AGRICULTURAL
life is home pressure.
Some time ago large London firm de-
cided that if any OF their clerks married
on a salary less than $50, that is
800 year, he should be discharg-
ed, the supposition being that the tempta-
ttOn might be too great for misappr0pria-
tiOn. The large majority Of families in
America live by utmost dintOf economy,
and to be honest and vet meet ones fam
lily expenses is the appalling question that
turns the life of tens of thousands of men
into martyrdom. Let the wife of the
Overborne and exhausted husband re-
member this, aud do not nag him about
that and say you might as well have no
husband, when the fact Is he is dying by
inches that the home may be kept up.
| charge also the wife to keep herselfas
attractive after marriage AS she was be-
fore marriage. The reason that so often
a man ceases to love his wife is because
the wife ceases to be lovable. In many
cases what elaboration Of toilet before
marriage and what reeklessness OF ap-
pearance after. The most disgusting
thing on earth is slat!ernlv woman I
mean woman who never combs her hair
until she goes out, or looks like a fright
until somebody calls, That man mar
ried to one OF these creatures stays at
home as little as possible is no wonder.
1t is a wonder that such msu does not
oon a whaling voyage Of three years,
and in leakg ship. Costly wardrobe Is
not required; but, q woman, II YOU are
not willing, BY all that ingenuity of re-
tinement can effect, to make yourself at
tracuve toyour husband, you ought not
to complain ii he seek in other society
those pleasant surroundings which you
deny him.
Again, charge you, never talk to others
about the irailties OF your husband. Some
people have a way, in banter, Of elabOr-
ately describing TO others the shOrtcom-
ings or unhappy eccentrloities of hus-
band or wife. Alb, the world Will find out
soon enough all the defects of your COM
panlon. No need OF your advertising
them. Better initiate those women, who.
having made mistake in alliance, always
have a veil to hide imperiections and al
leviations of conduct to mention. We
must admit that there are rare cases
where a wife cannot live longer with her
husband, and his cruelties and 0utrages
are the precursor of enforcement
or separation. But until that
day comes. keep the awful secret to
yourself. Keep it from every being in the
universe, except the God to whom you do
well 10 tell your trouble. Trouble only a
few years at most, and then you can 20

and let twenty Of the brightest angels
wait on her for the next thousand years.
Further, l charge you let there be no
outside interference with the CODjugal re-
latiOn. Neither neighbor nor confidential
friend, nor brother nor sister, nor father
nor mother, have a right to come in here.
The married gossip will come around and
by the hour tell you how she manages her
husband. You tell her plainly that If she
will attend to the affairs Of her household
you will attend to yours. What damage
some people do with their tOnguesl Ma
ture indicates that the tongue is a dan
gerOus thing, by the fact tnat IL is
shut in, first, by barricade Of
teeth, and then by the door of the
lips. One insidiOus talker can keep
a whole neighborho0d badly stirred up.
The Apostle Peter excOriated these busy
bodies in other peoples matters, and st.
Paul in his letter 10 the Thessalonians
and to Timothy, gives them a sharp
dig, and the good housewife
will be on the lookout for
them, and never return their calls and
treat them with coolest frigidity. For
this reason better keep house as soon as
possible. some people are opposed to
them, but ! thank God for what are called
flats in these cities. They put up a sep
arate home within the means OF nearly all
the populations. In your married rela-
tions you do not need any advice. II you
and your husband have not skill enough
TO get along we'll aloue, with all the ad-
vice YOU can import you Will get along
worse. What you want for your craft on
this voyage is plenSy Of sea.roonl. yog
] charge you also, make yourself the in
teligent companion 0f your husband.
What with THESE foods OF newspapers and
books there IN no Excuse for the wne's
ignorance ettaer about the present or the
past. II yOii have 20 more than a, half
hour every day TO yourself you may fill
your mind with entertaining and useful
knowledge. Let the merchants wife read
up on all mercantile questions and me-
chanic's wife on all that pertains 10 his
style Of work, and the professional mans
wife on all the legal or medical or
theological or political discussions
OF the day. 10 Is very stupid for
man. after having been amid active
minds all day, TO find mis- wife without in
formation or opinions on anything. II the
wife knows nothing about what Is going
on in the world. alter the tea hour has
passed, and the husband mas read the
newspaper, he will have an engagement
and must 90 and soc man. In nine cases
out of ten when a man does. not STAY at
nome in the evening, unless positive duty
calls him away, IL Is because there -
nothing 70 stay for. lie would rather talk
with his wife than any one else II she
could talk as well.
charge you, my sister, IN every way
TO make your home attractive. 1 have
not enough Of practical knowledge about
house adOrnment 10 know just what
makes the difference, but here IS an opu-
lent house, containing all wealth Of bric-
a-brac. and ~ musical instrument, aud
OF painting, aud Of upholstery, and yet
there is in II chill Ike Nova Zembla
Another home, with one-twentietb part
Of the outlay, and small supply VI art,

as you enter 10, there comes upon body,
mind and soul a glow OF welcome and
satisfied aud happy d0mesticity. The
holy art Of making the most comfort and
brightness out Of the means afforded,
every wife should study.
