A Time For All Things.

Timeliness is as important as fit
ness. The right thing may become
wrong unless it Is done at the right
time. Look well to the time of do
ing anything. If your wife looks
worried and worn out, be sure it is
c not the time to tell her that dinner
Is not hot or that the bread is sour.
Comfort her; cheer her up. Use the
ten thousand little strategems you
were wont to handle so skillfully in
the old days to bring out the smiles
around her lips. If you're annoyed
or yexed at people, just remember
1t is not the right time to speak.
Close your mouth. Shut your teeth
together firmly, and it will save
you many useless and unavailing
regret, and many a bitter enemy
If you happen to feel little cross.
and who among us do not at one
time or another, do not select that
time for reproving your noisy house
hold flock. A word spoken in pas
sion will make scar that a sum-
mer of smiles can hardly heal over
If you are wife, never tease your
husband when he comes home, weary
from his days business. It is not
the right time. Do not ask him for
expensive optiays when he has been
talking haId times. 1t is, most as
suredly 1.-The wrong time. If he has
entered upon an undertaking against
your advice, do not seize ON the
moment of its failure to say, II told
you So" In fact it is never the
right time for these four monosyl-
tables. Oh, If people only knew how !
to discriminate between the right
time and the wrong, there would
be less domestic unhappiness, less
silent sorrow, and less arrangement
Of the heart. The greatest calamities
that overshadow our lives have 1
some times their germ in matters as
apparently slight as this. If you
would only pause, reader, before
the singing taunt, or the biting
sneer, or the unkind scott passes
your lips just pause long enough to
ask yourself, rs it the right time
for me to speak," You would shut
the world against many heartache.
The world hinges on little things.
and there are many more trivial
than the right time and the wrong.
