He Must Love and Respect His Wife.

To he Editor:
would divide husbands into two classes
those who married for love and those who did
not. In the first case it is love and respect for
the wife that keep the husband at home. and in
the second it is the lack Of these that sends him
away.
Love is the cornerstone of all happy unions.
i. lends the beauty OF hope to the tenderness Of
consolation; it blunts the edge of misfortune
and adds a fresh lustre to the shield of pros
perity.
Respect is the cement that holds love fast. ard
will be paid to her whose brow is adorned with
the crown OF consistency, whose actions bear
the stamp OF character upon the pure gold OF
their merit.
My recipe. therefore, for keeping hayward
husbands at home il love and respect for his
wife. Their power is equally potent in the cot
tages Of the poor or III the mansions of the rich,
and will do more, the writer believes, to ac-
complish the purpose mentioned than anything
else. THIRTEEN YEARS EXPERIENCE.
