house. 1t Is sharp axe laid at the root
CT cor iugkl affection when g man sees
himself lowered TO the enjoyment Of the
secOn6-best Of even every day living.
/ once heard g good wife congratulate
herself grkveiy thst, IN thirty years Of
welded happiness, she had never appear
ed at the breakfast table with dishevelled
hair or without collar. The sincere
fervor OF the boast was IN evidence OF the
prevalence of the contrary custom. The
orderly couture ard nest neck-rIg msy
stand IS types Of the daily endeavor TO
remain pleasing in the eyes TO which We
were once fair. Love Of the right sort
may not rip or tear under the bristIes Of
commonplacedness and d0Tdyism, but
these do wear Cf the nap.
Beyond comparison, the band that
holds together welded hearts until the
seam of engraiting Is knitted into bark
and grain, is the common love OF both for
children.
The wife can make no gTayer mistake
compatible with true love for her hus-
band t6sn reputation Of the duty Of child
bearing. The fsuit passes bey0Dd the
line Of blunderg into the rank Of positive
sins. The desire OF every man 10 leave q
representative Ct himself upon the earth,
Wnen BE lies down to sleep with his fath-
ere, is deeply grounded iii NOBLE natures.

clared is necessity Of lis being.
The pair are agreed rot to undertake
the care aud responsibility Of Offspring,
we are generally told in such cases. Then
the wife should lift 10 her shoulders the
heavier burden 81 keeping herself eternal
ly fair and sprightly; Of filing her sp0ugG's
heart and home with mirth and music; az
time goes on, CT supplying the elements
of pIiteful love and hope he might have
hG6 ia growing boys and giIls; Of being,
in fine, perpetual fountain Of yoptl to
the man worn with cares and years. The
