Three times her husband broke her

Then, as commencing her to Goa, ne
pressed his horse back for the fearful
leap, love gave her almost superhuman
strength and she climbed to the saddle
with him-"By her love she overcame.
And her head was on his breast,
where she smiled like one at rest
Then the horse in stark despair with his
front hoofs poised in air,
On the last verge rears amain'

Oh! men sigh, that was a woman to
die for. There are no such women
nowadays. The high heroism is a
thing Of the past. Let the mar who
thinks so go into his kitchen awhile
and watch his wife, worn and weary,
while he ponders this saying:
It's harder to live with the average
mar than to die with him.
There are doubtless women, worn
out. broken down, crushed by the
duties of wifehood and motherhood,
who would gladly trade all these years
of suffering and pain for the few joy
GUS months that followed marriage,
and then like the Duchess May, smile
at the dark leap, with the arms OF the
mar she loved close-clasping her.
Every wife, every mother is a hero
inc. Is there no courage In putting
that little hand into yours, and for
saking father and mother for your
sake? Is there no heroism in assum-
ing the responsibility and risk of
motherhood?
1t is doubly heroic when the young
woman can look around her and see
what loss marriage go often entails,
loss OF health, of figure, of complexion,
of strength.
The best recognition that can be
given to the heroism of women is that
which minimizes its perils and
smooths the path of duty as much az
is possible. It's q very beautiful thinG
to have a monument setting forth the
virtues Of the wife and mother, with
a weeping husband hanging wreathes
about it. But it is a very much more
beautiful thing to be a happy healthy
woman and a Joyful mother of chill

The crown of motherhood ought not
to be a crown of martyrdom.
The most practical recognition o.
the worth of woman, her courage, her
suffering and her needs, is TO be found
in that "God-send to women" Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. There
is no extravaganza in that statement.
The ~martyrdom of motherhood Is Gone
away by the use of this great remedy
for female troubles, facilitating
drains. and the Inflammation and
liberation which cause such suffering.
81 would like to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit l have received
from your wonderful medicine, Dr..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. writes
