A Wife's Duty.

1t is wo,nan's duty to be helpmeet
for her husband; to stand at his side
ready to counsel him; to share his joys,
his sorrows, his triumphs. In order to
do this she must be his equal. She must
be willing to lay aside the last novel
and talk with him upon those subjects
which interest him; and if he is a little
of upon the tariff question her intui-
tive mind may grasp an idea that may
set him right. Let them deliberate to-
gether upon the temperance question,
upon the license system and upon the
relative fitness of the several candidates
for Office. Your husband wants to talk
of these matters with some intelligent,
interested person and if his wife mani
tests perfect Indifference he will go to
the club, the corner grocery or, worse
still, the saloon, to talk with other men
driven there by their lady wives who
stay at home to spend the long, lonely
evening on crazy patchwork, and he
comes homes late scented with the
fumes of tobacco if not of whisky. Is
such wife promoter of domestic
happiness? Has she digniied her sphere?
Has she performed her duty Us q wife?
