The woman is the heart of the home.
If she Is cross, miserable and disspirit-
ed, there will be little life and true
happiness within. Let her do her
part, but let her refuse to labor beyond
her strength. A wise, tender mother
is of more Importance than anything
else in the world to young children.
Let every mother train herself to a
wise neglect Of unimportant things
that she may be to her own the en-
bodinent of sympathy, hope, gentle
ness, charity, wisdom and love.
