wife with O smile." What an idea. You
have so many cares and vexatioas in your
business. No matter il sou are strong
and vigorous, and can throw off your
troubles, in hearty work, and feel your
blood stirred healthily by contact with
human kind, while youc wife ID weak and
her troubles and crosses are To be met
and borne in the lonely monotony OF
home life aud endless tasks. You may
look sour If you feel like it, and you may
go and put your bundle OF cares upon
her shoulders, but she must smile. Yor
have ta he pleasant abroad. Then can't
fellow be cross at home? And if any
thing h.s gons wrong-if last night a,
the club has given you headache, oi
your breakfast disagreed with your lord
ly stomach, may not you snub your wife
and strike terror into the childrens souls
Certainly, by all meaus, sir.
And if your wife fails to meet you with
th.t smile, whether you come in the
mood of a roaring lion OF n sulky bear
when well, you can get some editor tc
publish something about "A Wife's
DGties," Or some more a5vics TO wives
and now dear sisters, lend me your ears
A good man with great loving heart i!

The influence that is brought to bear
upon a child during the first decade of
its life will have decided effect in detar.
mining his power of self control in later
years. II is in the home more than in
any other place that this influence must
first be exercised, and upon nurses, gov
ernssses and parents devolves this most
important duty, responsibility which,
considered in its true light, becomes
privilege and sacred trust. A child
cannot understand the why and where
fore" of many things which to an adult
are perfectly plain and intelligible. He
is timid and naturally shrinks from
sights aud sounds Which, TO him, are
strange aud unaccountable. To in any
way frighten u child is not only thought
lees and cruel, but the act itself may be
followed by serious results. For ono 10
say no harm was intended, and that it
was only in fun, Is nc excuse. II is of
some of the ways in which this abuse is
sometimes offered, and their consequent
attendant evils, that l wish to speak.
There are some people who seem 20
take a morbid satisfaction in frightening
young children by suddenly appearing
before them with the face hidden by
mask or the entire body covered with
sheet, ut the same time uttering loud and
unnatural sounds, and gesticulatiLg in a
wild and frantic manner. Occasionally
we ind person who is SO regardless of
possible accidents as not to hesitate to
point at child gun or pistol, and feign
To strike with a knife or hatchet. The
setting of a strange dog upon ono who
already shows signs of terror at the con.
stant barking of the animal is sometimes
followed by unexpected and painful re-
suits. For little acts of disobedience,
children are sometimes shut up in dark
closet or temporarily confined in the attic
or cellar. At other times they are told
great stories of ghosts and threatened
that, if they do not behave, they will be
sold to the rag picker, or that wander
ing gypsies will steal them and carry
them away.
These and other such frightful appari.
tions are relics of barbarism and super
stition, which should have no place in the
Christian light and intelligence of this
nineteenth century. And not only this;
such soenes, stories and threats are gross
ly H. decent and deliberate falsehoods, the
nature of which the child will aoma day
understand, and he will be very ikely to
form just estimate of the moral char
acter of those in whose confidence and
honesty he firmly believed. 1t is also TO
be- remembered that il is possible that q
child may be 30 often frightened in one
way or another as to eventually weaken
his character, and even sometimes produce
deplorebl, state of mental imbecility
and there are many cases on record where
chili has been 40 frightened as to cause
insensibiity, commissions and DEATH
