Keep Your Temper.

Which of all the domestic virtues is
most essential to a happy married
life? The ability to keep ones tenn
per, beyond all question.
There Is nothing which lends more
to misery, not only for its possessor,
but also for those about him, than an
ungovernable and unreasonable tenn.
per- No one is worse to live with
than an Ill tempered man, except per-
haps an Ill tempered woman.
Bad tempered people completely
spoil the lives of those who associate
with them. The feeling Of strain is
ever present. One never knows just
when the storm will break, although
apparently the weather metaphorical-
