HeIpineets Indeed.

The wives of members of the sacred and
medical professions have different career
from those OF their sisters who marry the
man, and not his vocation. These women
are expected to do much that is not eXacted
from any other women, and the wife, es-
pecially Of the clergyman, lives always in
"that fierce light which beats upon q
throne;" for she and her family are claimed
rs the property of the congregation as thor
oughly as ever sovereign became the pos
session of nation. The mistress of the
manse" needs to be woman of rare char
acter and strong health to fulfill all that
Is expected of her, and it would be well
were she also endowed wit that serenity
Of temperament which is the best armor Of
defense, and which forbids the use of often
sive weapons.
The PHYSICIANS wife has also unusual
claims upon her time, though in "A lesser de-
gree, and the imperative telephone and the
charity patients often absorb her precious
moments, while in addition she has the
wifsly anxiety Of seeing her poor tired hus-
band awakened from his belated slumbers
to 20 on nocturnal errapds.
Maud Muller sighed for the silksn gown
and other luxuries which would be hers as

forward TO the high vocation of sharing his
legal duties. nor does any lawyers fiancee
dream of playing the part of Portia and
assuming to be learned in the law. The
EDITORS wife seldom uses her pen for the
public, and officers of the navy or army
expect only the military virtue of prompt
pess to be practiced in their households,
But doctors Of divinity and medicine alike,
when they marry, feel that they are de-
frauded If the chosen young women fail in
any of the requirements imposed by their
married dignities. -Harper's Bazaar.
