The kindes' and the hspties: pair
Will find occasion to forbear
And something every day they live,
To pity and perhaps forgive.
advise also that you make your
chief pleasure circle around about
that home. 1t is unfortunate when 1t
is otherwise. If the husband spend
the most of his nights away from home,
of choice and not Of necessity, he IS not
the head of the household; he is only
the cashier. If the wife throw the
cares of the household into the servants
lap and then spend FIVE nights Of the
week at the opera or theater, she may
clothe her children with satins and
laces and ribbons that would confoand

It is sad when child has no one to say
its prayers to because mother has gone
off to the evening entertainment! IL
India they bring children and throw
them to the crocodiles, and it seems
very cruel, but the jaws of social dis
sipation are swallowing down more little
children today than all the monsters
that ever crawled upon the banks OF the
Ganges!
I have seen the sorrow Of a goddess
mother on the death Of child she had
neglected. 1t was not SO much grief
that she felt from the fact that the child
was dead as the fact that she had ne
elected it. She said, ''IfI had only
watched over and cared for the child,
I know God would not have taken it.
The tears came not. 1t was dry,
blistering tempest scorching simeon
Of the desert. When she wrung her
hands, it seemed as if she would twist
herfngers from their sockets; when she
seized her hair, it seemed as if she had
in wild terror grasped coiling serpent
with her right hand No tears! Com
rades of the little one came in and
wept over the coffin, neighbors come IN,
and the moment they saw the still face
of the child the shower broke. No tears
for her. God gives tears as the sum-
mer rain to the parched soul, but in
all the universe the driest and hottest,
the most scorchingand consuming thing
is mothers heart if she has neglected
her child. when once it is dead. God
may forgive her, but she will never for
give herself. The memory will sink
the eyes deeper into the sockets and
pinch the ia ,e and whiten the hair and
eat up the heart with vultures that will
not be satisfied forever plunging deeper
their iron beaks. Oh, you wanderers
from your home, 60 back to your duty!
The brightest flowers in all the earth
are those which grow in the garden Of a
Christian household. clambering over
the porch of Christian home.
l advise you also to cultivate SYM
pathy of occupation. Sir James Mcln-
tosh, one Of the most eminent and ele-
CANT men that ever lived, while stand
ing at the very height of his eminence,
said to a gre&t 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 aright-she
has right-to know everything. 1t a
man goes into business transaction
that he dare not tell his wife of, you
may depend that he is on the way either
to bankruptcy or moral ruin. There
may be some things which ne does not
wish to trouble his wife with, but if he
dare not tell her he is on the road to
discontinue. On the other hand, the
husband ought to be sympathetic with
the wife's occupation. 1t is no easy
thing to keep house. Many woman
who could have endured martyrdom as
we'll as Margaret, the Scotch girl, has
actually been worn out by house man
agement.
There are l 1000 martyrs Of the kitch-
en-. 1t is very annoying after the vexa-
tions of the day around the stove or the
register or the table, or in the nursery
or parlor to have the husband say:
you know nothing about trouble.
You ought to be in the store half an
hour" Sympathy of occupation! 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 disgusted at the begrimed
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 1.-THE trials. 1t is a very sad
thing when the painter has wife who
does not like pictures. 1t is very sad
thing for pianist when she has hus-
band who does not like music. 1t is
very sad thing when a wife is not suited
unless her husband has what is called a
'genteel business. So far as | un-
derstand 'genteel business, it is
something to which man goes at 10
o'clock in the morning and from which
he comes home at 2 or ; oclock in the
afternoon and gets large amount Of
money for doing nothing. That is, |
