Enquire within upon everything
·

Perchance
you
think
that
your
husband's
disposition
is
much
changed;
that
he
is
no
longer
the
sweet-tempered,
ardent
lover
he
used
to
be.
This
may
be
a
mistake.
Consider
his
struggles
with
the
world--his
everlasting
race
with
the
busy
competition
of
trade.
What
is
it
makes
him
so
eager
in
the
pursuit
of
gain--so
energetic
by
day,
so
sleepless
by
night--but
his
love
of
home,
wife,
and
children,
and
a
dread
that
their
respectability,
according
to
the
light
in
which
he
has
conceived
it,
may
be
encroached
upon
by
the
strife
of
existence?
This
is
the
true
secret
of
that
silent
care
which
preys
upon
the
hearts
of
many
men,
and
true
it
is,
that
when
love
is
least
apparent,
it
is
nevertheless
the
active
principle
which
animates
the
heart,
though
fears
and
disappointments
make
up
a
cloud
which
obscures
the
warmer
element.
As
above
the
clouds
there
is
glorious
sunshine,
while
below
are
showers
and
gloom,
so
with
the
conduct
of
man--behind
the
gloom
of
anxiety
is
a
bright
fountain
of
high
and
noble
feeling.
Think
of
this
in
those
moments
when
clouds
seem
to
lower
upon
your
domestic
peace,
and,
by
tempering
your
conduct
accordingly,
the
gloom
will
soon
pass
away,
and
warmth
and
brightness
take
its
place.

Hints
for
Husbands
(3).
Summer
is
the
season
of
love
and
innocent
enjoyment.
What
shall
the
husband
do
when
summer
returns
to
gladden
the
earth,
and
all
who
live
upon
it?
Must
he
still
pore
over
the
calculations
of
the
counting-house,
or
ceaselessly
pursue
the
toils
of
the
work-room--sparing
no
moment
to
taste
the
joys
which
Heaven
measures
out
so
liberally?
No!
Let
him
ask
his
wife
once
more
to
breathe
with
him
the
fresh
air
of
heaven,
and
look
upon
the
beauties
of
earth.
The
summers
are
few
that
they
may
dwell
together;
so
let
him
not
give
them
all
to
Mammon,
but
seek
invigorating
and
health-renewing
recreation
abroad,
which
shall
make
the
hearts
of
each
glow
with
emotions
of
renewed
love.
