Tell Your Wife.

If you are in trouble or a difficulty,
tell your wife, that is, if you have
one, all about it at once. Ten to one,
her invention will solve your diff
Guilty sooner thar all your logic. The
wit of woman has been praised, but
her instincts are quicker end keener
than her reason. Take counsel with
your wife, or your mother, or sister,
and be assured light will flash upon
your darkness. Women are too COM
monty pronounced shallow in all but
purely womanish affairs. No philo-
sophical student of the sex thus judges
them. Their intuitions, or insights,
are subtle, and if they cannot see a
cat in the dark cupboard, there is
no cat there. In counseling a man
to tell his wife, we would 60 farther
and advise him to keep none Of his
affairs secret from hel. Many home
has been happily saved, and many a

Woman is far more a seer and
prophet than a man, if she have a
fair chance. As a general rule, wives
confide the rninutest Of their plans
and thoughts 10 their husbands, kav-
ing no involvcments to screen from
them. Why not reciprocate, if but
for the pleasure of meeting confidence
with confidence? We are certain that
no man succeeds so we'll in the world
as he, who, taking a partner for life
makes her the partner of all his pur-
poses and hopes. What is wrong Of
his impulses or judgment she will
check and set right with her almost
universally right instincts. "Help-
meet" was no insignificant title, as
applied to mans companion. She. is
a help-meet TO him in every darkness,
difficulty, and sorrow of life. And
what she most Graves, and most de-
serves, is confidence without which
love is never free from shadow
