does not put anything kingly IN Lis
heart.
A bad temper is one of the worst
things with which a man or wom-
an can be afflicted 1t is curse
10 the possessor, and those who are
Obliged TO live in the same house with
the possessor Of the complaining temp
er are martyrs. It is often said that
we should not let the bad temper Of
others influence us, but Il would be
as unreasonable to spread a blister
OF Spanish flies on the skin and not
expect It TO draw, as TO think of a
family not suffering on account OF
the bad temper Of one Of its members
II Is like the sting of scorpion, or o
several scorpions, perpetual source
OF irritation, destroying your peace
and rendering life a burden. To hear
one everlasting complaint and
Erowl proceeding from what is apt
ly called chronic kicker" to have
every agreeable thought chased away
by this evil spirit Of disputatiousness,
Is more than flesh and blood can
stand This would be better world
II the people who lose their tempers
T would never find them again.
, GRADUATING GIRLS. ~
Some of US. at any rate, on both
sides 81 the Atlantic, have begun TO
realize that serious study is less
likely to injure women than pinched
waists, late hours, hot rooms and
unwholesome food, and we think 1t
is better for our girls 10 be graduated
at schools for science rather than
OF schools for scandal. We think i
will be better 10 prepare them for
the grave responsibilities Of matri-
mony and motherhood than rapid
life in which personal adornment Is
their chief aim, and how TO kill time
and secure a rich husband their prln'
cipal anxiety. The mental companion
ship which is improving is com
nunion between active minds, and
the woman of a mans household mu
he either stimulus TO his highest
aspirations or a drag upon them, Foi
the interests, therefore, Of men, anc
OF human improvement In its wides
sense, there should be purpose ir
the education Of women quite apari
from questions Of what they are u
learn. and preparation for 10 wid'
sphere OF domestic or social duty
admits OF no such low standard 6!
that OF custom or fashion. VIZ
do not ask that women should hay'
greater influence than they nov
possess. We only ask that they b.
trained to make the best possible us
Of It. This will make marriage NOR
noble and more complete, enrich an
strengthen the mothers influence an
give to life dignity and strength.

TO YOUNG MARRIED FOLKS.
IL is natural that a girl should wis
TO appear at her best before q ma
she loves. 1t is equally natural tina
a man should be equally careful i
, keep his shortcomings from the gil
he is DESTROYS OF making his wife. j
Is thoughtful Of her comfort, rpend
all his spare time in her Compan,
will not see that she has any fault
that his relatives point out 10 hin
and Is not exacting except as regart
the amount of affection bestowed "
on himself. The engaged girl is
' girl of Importance, petted by her ma
OF her and much is yielded to hs
fliends and INDUCED by her famil,
u Her plans and wishes often have Il
n first consideration, Little Is requir,
I Finally, after nothing but consider'
e ton for herself the wedding %
d comes, and with 1t gradual chang
! in the order of things. The husbai
is fond Of his wife as the lover
of his betrothed, but she Is hi
u and he is no longer anxious. He b
q duties and social obligations pc
y haps rather neglected during b
n courtship, which must be attendt
B. to. He does not show his affectiC
e so much and is more exacting; viii
IS the wife hitherto petted in her oS
home and her lovers one though
imagines him changed and matte
ID tive. No longer seeing him ihroui
L rose-colored spectacles she sees b
/ failings and betrays her own. tn
beginning, without any serious "a
on either side, is often quite su
50 ficient to lay the foundation of
le thoroughly unhappy life.
