home, go back to your duty! The
brightest flowers in all the earth are

Christian household, clambering over
the porch of Christian home.
advise also to cultivate sympathy
of occu patton. Sir James Mcintosh,
one of the most eminent and elegant
men that ever lived, while standing at
the very height of his eminence, said
to great company of scholars: my
wife made me-" The wife ought to be
the advising partner in every firm.
She ought to be interested in all the
losses and gains of shop and store. She
ought to have a right-she has right
to know everything. II a nan goes
into a business transaction that he
dare not tell his wife of, you may de-
pend that he is on the way TO either
bankruptcy or moral ruin. There may
he some things which he does not
wish to trouble his wife with; but
road to discontinue. On the other
hand, the husband ought to be
sympathetic with the wife's occupa-
ton. IL is no easy thing to keep
house. Many woman who could have
endured martyrdom as well as Mar
garet, the Scotch girl, has actually
been worn out by house management.
There are thousand martyrs of the
kitchen. 1t is very annoying. after all
the vexations of the day around the
stove or the register or the table, or in
the nursery or parlor, to have the hus-
band say, you know nothing about
trouble; you ought to be in the store

If the husbands work cover him with
the SCOT of the furnace, or the odors Of
leather or soap factories, let not the
wife be easily Disguised at the be-
grimed hands or unsavory aroma.
Your gains are one, your interests are
one, your losses are one; lay hold OF
the work of life with both hands
Four hands to fight the battles; four
eyes to watch for the danger; four
shoulders on which to carry the trials.
1t is very sad thing when the painter
has n wife who does not like pictures;
it is very sad thing for a pianist
when she has a husband who does not
like music. 1t is very sad thing
when a wife is not suited unless her
husband has what is called "genteel
business" So far as | understand a
gen teel business" IL is something "a
which a man goes at ten o'clock in the
morning, and from which he comes
home at two or three o'clock in the
afternoon and gets large amount OF
money for doing nothing That is,
believe, a "genteel business;" and
there has been many wife who ha:
made the mistake of not being salts
fed until the husband has given uI
the tanning OF the hides, or the turn
ing of the banisters, or the building OF
the walls, and put himself in circle,
where he has nothing to do but smoke
cigars and drink wine, and get himsel
into habits that upset him, go
ing down into the maelstrom
taking his wife and children
with him. There are good many
trains running from earth to destruc
ton. They start all hours of the day
and all hours of the night. There arr
the freight trains; they go very slow
ly and very heavily; and there are til,
accommodation trains going on toward
destruction, and they stop very Otter
and let a man get out when he want
to- But genteel idleness Is an express

When your behavior in the domesti
circle becomes mere matter of calcu
lation, when the caress you give
merely the result of deliberate stud
of the position you occupy, happ

fire of temper the republic of dome'

neither God nor man will abide. {
