A
Wife's
Power.
The
power
of
a
wife
for
good
or
evil
is
irresistible.
Home
must
be
the
seat
of
happiness,
or
it
must
be
for
ever
unknown.
A
good
wife
is
to
a
man
wisdom,
and
courage,
and
strength,
and
endurance.
A
bad
wife
is
confusion,
weakness,
discomfiture,
and
despair.
No
condition
is
hopeless
where
the
wife
possesses
firmness,
decision,
and
economy.
There
is
no
outward
prosperity
which
can
counteract
indolence,
extravagance,
and
folly
at
home.
No
spirit
can
long
endure
bad
domestic
influence.
Man
is
strong,
but
his
heart
is
not
adamant.
He
delights
in
enterprise
and
action;
but
to
sustain
him
he
needs
a
tranquil
mind,
and
a
whole
heart.
He
needs
his
moral
force
in
the
conflicts
of
the
world.
To
recover
his
equanimity
and
composure,
home
must
be
to
him
a
place
of
repose,
of
peace,
of
cheerfulness,
of
comfort;
and
his
soul
renews
its
strength
again,
and
goes
forth
with
fresh
vigour
to
encounter
the
labour
and
troubles
of
life.
But
if
at
home
he
find
no
rest,
and
is
there
met
with
bad
temper,
sullenness,
or
gloom,
or
is
assailed
by
discontent
or
complaint,
hope
vanishes,
and
he
sinks
into
despair.

Husband
and
Wife.
Being
hints
to
each
other
for
the
good
of
both,
as

Hints
for
Wives
(1).
If
your
husband
occasionally
looks
a
little
troubled
when
he
comes
home,
do
not
say
to
him,
with
an
alarmed
countenance,
"What
ails
you,
my
dear?"
Don't
bother
him;
he
will
tell
you
of
his
own
accord,
if
need
be.
Be
observant
and
quiet.
Let
him
alone
until
he
is
inclined
to
talk;
take
up
your
book
or
your
needlework
pleasantly
and
cheerfully;
and
wait
until
he
is
inclined
to
be
sociable.
Don't
let
him
ever
find
a
shirt-button
missing.
A
shirt-button
being
off
a
collar
or
wrist-band
has
frequently
produced
the
first
impatient
word
in
married
Life.
