pleasantly, and after awhile there came
a devastation, domestic disaster or es-

In the other case, although there were

The Angel In the House.
My second advice to you in your home
is to exercise to the very last POSSIBLE
ity of your nature the law of forbear-
ance. Prayers in the household will not
make up for everything. Some of the
best people in the world are the hardest
to get along with. There are people
who stand rp in prayer meetings and
pray like angels who at home are I'M
compromising and cranky. You may
not have everything just rs you wan,
it. Sometimes it will be the duty of
the husband and sometimes Of the wife
to yield, but both stand prnc:ilicusly
OH your rights, and you will have a
Waterloo with no Butcher coming up
at nightfall to decide the conflict.
Never he ashamed to apologize when
you have done wrong in domestic af-
fairs. Let that be law of your house
hold. The best thing ever heard of my
grandfather, whom l never saw, was
this, that once having unrighteously re-
buked one Of his children, he himself
having lost his patience. and, perhaps
having been misiuformed of the child
doings, found out his mistake and i'll
the evening of the same day gathered
all his family together and said: "Now,
1 have one explanation to make and one
thing to say. Thomas, this morning l
rebuked you very unfairly. l am very
sorry for it. rebuked you in the pres
ence of the whole family, and now l ask
your forgiveness in their presence. 1t
must have taken some courage to do
that. 1t was right, was it not? Never
be ashamed to apologize for domestic
inaccuracy. Find out the points-what
are the weak points, if l may call them
so, of your companion, and then stand
aloof from them. Do not carry the fire
of your temper too near the gunpowder.
If the wife be easily fretted by disorder
in the household, let the husband be
careful where he throws his slippers.
If the husband come home from the
store with his patience exhausted, &c
not let the wife unnecessarily cross hls
temper, but both stand up for your
rights, and l will promise the everlast
ing sound of the warwhoop. Your NE
will be spent in making up, and mar
rage will be to you an unmltlgatec
curse. Cowper said:
The kindest and the happicst pair
Will find occasion to forbear
And something, every day they live
To pity and perhaps forgive
advise, also, that yen make you
chief pleas ire circle around about tina
home. II is unfortunate when it is 9th
erwise. If the husband spend the mos
of his nights away from home OF cholc
and not of necessity, he is not the heat
of the household. He is only the cashier
If the wife throw the cares Ut the house
hold into the servants lap and thel
spend five nights of the week at tn
opera or theater, she may clothe he
children with satins and laces and rlt
hons that would confound Frenc
milliner, but they are orphans. II
