To love you and to long
For your dear presence every hour
With all the concentrated power
And strength of mind and heart and soul,
When even the dream bells toll and toll
The echoes of your sacred name?
If it be wrong III bear the blame
OF all these wild desires that throng
My heart if it be wrong.
Is it wrong
To drift in listlessness along
The tide of life. and dream of lands
Beyond the stars where these weak hands
Shall clasp thine own in warm embrace;
And, gazing in thy radiant face,
/ shall read more than boasts the lore
OF all the ages gone before,
And weave your being in the song
That fills my heayen-Ah, is it wrong?

The Care of Hushands.

The introduction of our modern sys-

other causes having like effect has bro
ken up the school which the mother
once kept in her home. just as these
causes have destroyed the apprentice
system,sO the girls have ceased to learn
as they once did all the varied practical
duties which they must discharge UNI
less their home is to fail. The growing
incapacity of girls to take care of a
man and a family is the real cause of
the disappearance of home life into that

blame for this. 1t is the necessary
effect of our systems OF industry.

1t seems to be impossible to convince

orally known how ladies who are not
blessed with an abundance of flesh Sc
cure the effect that has been remarked
on. They do it by spreading damp
towel over their chests when they begin
dressing, and putting all their clothes
on over it. Then, when the toilet is
complete, the towel is drawn slowly up
ward over the top of the cotsage. This
draws every particle of plumpness to
the highest possible point, and it is held
there by the snugness of the corsage.
