Domestic Friction.
Special Letter to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi, Sept. 17.-While
no one can tell how long the wealth
they now possess may last themselves
or their heirs, we ali know the muta-
bility of this life. Here we are sure of
nothing but the life we are living and
the grave that we must fill in the days
that are coming so rapidly along. We
NAV not say there is no need, there's
time enough for our daughters to learn
to keep house. Learn it with whom?
Who will have the patience with them
that you will have for their many-oh,
so many failures? Who will encourage,
bear and forbear with the constantly
recurring failures she will make in her
efforts to do her best with her knowl-
edge she may have casually acquired?
And when the master of the house, the
one person she
is TRYING TO PLEASE,
growls audibly over her very best eX-
ertiOns to please him or crafty his
palate, who will then be her staff and
stay? If she is of a sensitive nature,
how keen will be her suffering when
you have launched her upon the sea of
matrimony and the storms sweep around
and over her-when this, her hour of
peril comes, and the heart of your child
may be fighting a fearful battle be-
tween the good and the evil; and which
will win? Have you taught her the
right way, that she must go, when the
ONLY ONE SHE LOVES
and tries to please turns upon her in
wrath and does not heed her plea for
his forbearance while she learns to
cook his food as he wants it, when per-
haps she is as ignorant of his wishes in
that respect as she is of cooking it prop
erly, because she has not been taught
how to do it? 1t is the first year of mar
ried life, we are told. that tries the
bonds of love and faith between huS-
band and wife, and have you taught
her to be
A BRAVE, TRUE WOMAN,
to stand firmly in her own sense of
right? Have you taught her wheu and
where to yield the point, and where to
stand firm in her womanhOOd? You
know as well as | that no outside per-
son can take lot or part between these
two, yet one in holy bonds. God help
her if she has not been taught some
| thing of her duty in this case, for hers
gone out from homes of wealth, where
| they have been petted. INDUCED, and
knew not that wealth would often take
wings and fly away. What she has had
at home in her fathers house she thinks
to find all her life in her own chosen
home, and it is
| sBITTER DAY TO HER
when she meets opposition, and IS re-
| quired to submit toto her disagreed
| bic and impossible life to live. 10 lay
aside the trappings of wealth and come
| down to work in her own kitchen, and
it may be parlOr too, for her, as it some
! times proves TO be for others in the mu-
tations of this ever changing world we
| inhabit. No words can tell the misery
| that one can endure until they have
/ lived the life of one that seems to be
1.-The heir to all the ills that life is heir
| to-" And Their words seem weak to
! impress upon some mothers the neces-
sity of teaching their daughters how to
fight the battle and finally conquer in a
| kind and gentle, accomplishing man.
ner, and to be the strong, brave woman
| iniher heart of hearts, faithful still.
