HINTS FOR WIVES.

Perchance you thing that your hus-
bands disposition 10 much changed; that
be is no longer the sweet-tempered ardent
lover he used to be. This may be mis-
take. Consider his struggle with the
world-his everlasting race with busy
competition Of trade. What il il that
makes him 50 eager in the pursuit Of
gain-so energetic by day, 30 sleepless
by night-but his love Of home, wife and
children, and dread that their respect
ability, according to the light in which
he has conceived it, may be encroached
upon by the strife Of existence. This il
the true secret Of that silent care which
preys upon the hearts Of many men !;
and true it 10, that when love is least ap-
parent, il il nevertheless the active
principle which animates the heart,
though fears and disappointment make
up . cloud which obscures the warmer
element. AZ above the clouds there Is q
glorious sunshine while below are show
ers and gloom, 30 with the conduct Of
man-behind the gloom Of anxiety there
is bright fountain Of high and noble
feeling. Thinking Of this in those mo-
prents when clouds seem to lower upon
your domestic peace and by tempering
your conduct accordingly, the gloom will
soon pass away and warmth and
warmth and brightness takes its place.

"after the war is over" That means
nothing.
Let's make it = rule invariably to say
"after we win the war" That means
