A Husband,s Duty.

A Husbands Duty.
A very grave responsibility has the
man assumed in his marriage. Dot
ing parents have confided to his care
the welfare of a loved daughter, and a
trusting woman has risked all her flu
ture happiness in his keeping. Large
lily Will 1t depend upon him whether
her pathway shall be strewn with
thorns or roses.
Let your wife fully understand your
business In nearly every case she will
be found a most valuable adviser when
she understands all your Circumstance
es, If "A dispute arises dismiss the sub
ject with kind word and do not seek
to carry your point by discussion. 1t
is glorious achievement to master
ones own temper. You may discover
that you are in an error, and II your
wife is wrong she will gladly, in her
cooler moments acknowledge the fault.
Never neglect your wife for all the
world besides. Never deceive; conf
dence once lost can never be wholly
lregained. Never give all your pleas
ant words and smiles to strangers
the kindest words and the sweetest
smiles should be reserved for home.
Home should be your heaven.
Never fail to tell your wife the
truth; II truthful you get your reward
you get your punishment If you de-
ceive. Never fail to say a kind. en-
couraging word to your wife; praise
and encourage her. To keep her love,
be kind and loying-always be a low
er.
And last and above all to keep
your wife's love and respect, be a
strictly temperate man. 1t would be
difficult to love and honor a man to
whom she is compelled to look down
upon, who would drag himself, wife
and children down to poverty, shame
and disgrace. One and all turn from
the intoxicating cup. That alone makes
/ more misery, causes more unhappy
homes and is the, greatest curse on
earth. God pity the poor wife with an
Iintemperate man. Her lifes happiness
will be completely destroyed by such
a union. Better thousand times the
single, free and independent maiden
hood than married to a man addicted
to dissipated habits. Don't go down
town every night to see a man and
then expect your wife to be all smiles
when you come home.

No matter how much you earn or save,
You must leave it all when you go to

Marriage makes or mars a woman's
life, and young girl should be plain

lacking certain qualities is a most de-

is pretty safe in trusting herself to
