GOOD TEMPLARY.
(To the Editor.) Sib,— A " A Wife of 8 years' oxporionee " has, I think, acted impulsively in rushing into print. Sir, I agree with you that wives, sweethearts, and mothers should not remain out of home at night. Home should be woman's kitchen, church, library, and nursery, rolled into one. A would-be drunken woman is justified, as a lesser evil, in going" to Templar night meetings ; but a sober woman should find all her reformatory movements within the sacred arena of her home. I do not object to unmarried young or old women attending Templar meetings in the day time, but when night comes, homo, and home only, should claim woman's attention; and if she be not able to content herself there, then she has made a mistake when she took the marriage vow, which, I think, is superior to any Templar's pledge. — I am, &c., A Yoraro Wife and Mother.
