WHAT A WOMAN CAN DO.

As « <tsi£& and mother she can make oil mar ike fortune and happiness of her husband and -children. By her thrift, prudence and good management, she can secure to her partner and herself a competency in old age. By her tender care she can often restore him to good health. By her counsel and her love, she can win him from bad company, if temptation, in an evil hour, has led him astray. She can do as much as a man, perhaps even more, to degrade him, if she chooses to do it. As a wife, she can rain her husband by extravagance and folly;, by want of affection she can make an outcast of a man who might otherwise ha7e beoom£, a .good member of society. She c^n bring bickerings and strife into what has boon a happy household. She can become ad instrument of evil instead of an angel of .^ood, As a mother, her words and her ways should be kind, loving and good. If she reproves, her language should be choice and refined. The true mother rules by the laws of kindness; she hovers before her children as a pillar of light before the wandering Israelites, and to her children the word mother is synonomous with everything pure, sweet and beautiful.
