The Roman Wife.

from the Contemporary Review.
In the early stages OF Roman history there is
reason TO believe that the Roman wife was COM
pletely under the control of her husband The
Roman idea OF a family made the father despot,
with power Of life and death over his children.
who could do nothing without his consent This
was the case In regard 10 male children even after
they had reached a considerable age. Women ac-
corning 10 the opinion OF the early Romans, were
always children. They required protection
and guidance during their whole life and
could never be freed from despot control
Accordingly, when Roman girl married, she had
10 choose whether she would remain under The
control OF her father pass into the control or as
IL was Called into the hands OF her husband 1t Is
likely taat Ia the early ages OF the city she always
passed from the power or her father into the hands
or her husband. and the position she occupied was
that OIL Gaugh.er TO her husband. She thus be-
came eDtlreiy subject to him, and was at his
mercy. Roman history supplies many Instances
OF the dsSpotism when husbands exercised over
thelr wives The slightest ind.Scretion was SOME
times punished by death, While men might do
what they liked without let or hlndrance :.If YOU
were TO catch your wife" was the law laid down
Dy Cato the Censor, '1n an act OF ilfdelity YOU
would ELL her with inpunity without a trial: but
III she were 10 catch you, she would hot venture to
touch you with her finger, and indeed she has no
right" Wives were prohibited from tasting wine
St The lisa OF the Seyerest penalties The conduct
OF EgnatiuS was praised, who, surprising his wife
in the act OF Slppng ne forbidden LIQUID. beat her
10 death. The same sternness appears In the
reasons which Induced some OF the Romans 10 dis
miss their wives. Sulpic1u5 Gallus dismissed his
because she appeared Ia the streets without a veil
speaking secretly TO Il freedw oman in public, aud
4. SeinpronIuS SophuS sent his away BECAUSE she
had venture TO 60 TO the pubic games without
informing him OF her movements.

"Be Mighty Sure"

"Be mighty sure with your proofs
Bob" said q hard.looking old soak to
the man who had assured him that
there was no hell. 'Be mighty sure
with your proofs, Bob, for there are a
great many of us who are depending
on ye." "Yes, believe" said one
man, "that everybody will be saved
but I'd give that yoke of oxen If l
knew it was son 81 believe every
word of it," said grasping miser to
one who had been prophesying smooth
things to the people, "but I'll give you
81 900 if you will prove it sure and no
mistake" Men are right glad to pay
their money, but they want to be sure
they get what they pay for. And, if
at last they should find that there was
some mistake, and that perdition was
no dream, and damnation no joke; if
they should find that, after all their
assaults on creeds and catechlsms,
there was one thing they had not
touched-the Word of God which llv-
eth and abideth forever, that Word
which declares that 1.-THE wages of sin
is DEATH" and that "The soul that sin
meth it shall die ;" men will mourn at
last that they depended upon false
hoods and uncertainties. Is it not bet
ter to make the matter sure to-day by
turning to the Lord, and seeking and
finding salvation through Him?

PoPULARITY.-The only popularity
worth aspiring after is peaceful pop
ularity-the popularity Of the heart
the popularity that is won in the bo-
som of families and at the side OF
death-beds. There is another, high,
and far-sounding popularity, which is,
indeed, most worthless article,lI9I
by all who have it most to be greatly
more oppressive than gratifying-a
popularity of state and pressure and
animal heat and whole tribe of other
anneyances which itbrings around the
person of its unfortunate victim-a
popularity which rifles home of its
sweets, and by elevating man above
his fellows, places him in a region OF
desolation, where the intimacies of
human fellowship are unfelt, and
where he stands a conspicuous mark
for the shafts of malice and envy and
detraction-a popularity which, with
its head among thorns, and its feet on
the treacherous quicksands has moth
ing to lull the agonies of its tottering
existence but the hosannahs of driv-
cling generation.

Learn to Give.

l. From habit. This can be learn
ed in youth; therefore, teach your
children to put something in the plate
whenever it is passed.
2. From feeling of obligation and
duty to God, who commands it, and
whose commands you promised to
obey. Teach this duty of your children.
8. From an overf1owing love to
God, who has given you SO much.
Give to him lavishly, as you would
give to beloved wife or child or pa
rent, only in a proportion as greater as
your love to him and his love to you
exceed all human love. Teach this
also to your children.
4. Give from love to the needy and
suffering. AS soon as you see want,
or hear of one, try to relieve it; and
teach your children to do likewise.

Associate Reformed Presbyterian.

Some persons complain that preach
ing is "dull." They compare the
preacher with the lawyer and the
politician, always to the disadvantage
of the minister. But there is Il con-
spicuous unfairness in the contrast.
Let the politician or lawyer deal with
one great truth all the time-let him
speak to the same audience twice or
three times a week on some feature of
this truth, and then note the result.
For q period of three months, only,
Congress has been discussing the Tar
iff. Some of the most brilliant speak
ers of this country have participated
in the discussion, and yet this great
national debate has become intolera-
bly, tiresome and uninteresting. Set
over against this, the fact that some of
the pastors in Washington City, under
the shadow of the Capitol, have been
preaching to the same people for twen-
ty years-with constantly increasing
congregations.

What to Read When the Day is Over

1t is wise at night to read-but for a
few minutes books which Will
compose and soothe the mind; which
will bring us face to face with the true
facts of life, death, and eternity
which will make us remember that
man doth not live by bread alone
which will give us before we sleep a
few thoughts worthy of a Christian
man with an immortal soul in HIM.
And, thank God, no one need 60 far
to find such books. I do not mean
merely religious books, excellent as
they are in these days; I mean any
books which help to make us better
and wiser and soberer and more char
liable persons; any books which will
teach us to despise what is vulgar and
mean, foul and cruel, and to love what
is noble and high-minded, pure and
Just. In our English language we
may read by hundreds books which
will tell of all virtue and all praise !;
the stories of good and brave men and
women; of gallant and heroic actions !;
of deeds which we ourselves should be
proud of doing; of persons whom. we
feel to be better, wiser, nobler than
we are ourselves.-Canon Kingsley.

81. Louis Christian Advocate.

A Washington paper suggests that
when the colored people of the South
understand that Judge Thurman car
-ries red bandana they will vote for
him by the thousands. They have a
profound respect for man who ap-
preciates red bandanas.

is not to be denied that many votes are
cast for reasons no stron ger than this

dislike, many votes have been cast ir-
respective of any and all principle in
volved in the case. So it has been, so
it is likely to be again.
