Feb. 14,1871 Uf. Men as Husbands. A Glimpse of our Domestic Life. Without reference lo St. Paul, who commanded wives to obey iheir husbands, or to the ancient marriage ceremony of the Egyptians which demanded a promise of obedience from the husband to the wife, in stead of the reverse, the present every-day relations of men to women in the marital stale aie of so great imporunffi that nothing can be greater, and yet do H<H ro oo» v a fY*OfT) men a lithe of the thought and hon est attention the subject demands. There is a common-sense justice that ought to govern the relations of human beings, that has both sub stance aud essence in the “Golden Rule,” and is as high above all civil and legal enactments as heaven is above earth. That this beautiful and perfect law of relation as cloth ed in words by Confucius, and af terward revised and incorporated into the Christian religion by Christ, does not rule in the matriage stale, is without doubt due to the unequal estimation held by the parties in re gard to each other. That husbands, as a rule, do iheir wives intentional injustice, 1 do not for a moment believe, but that wives suffer immeasurably from in justice born of heediessness, of thoughtlessness, and a lack ol heart- fulness, I know to be only too true, if the knowledge that comes from unprejudiced observation and the unsought and voluntary confidences of many a wife are to be relied up on. Oue is not to infer from this that married women are given to turning their hearts out like a pocket and unfolding their wedded rela tions—the most sacred of all—to the gaze and criticism of even very dear friends. The reverse of this is the rule. But there are scores of con fidences which are “escapes” rather than positive confessions, that are fotever revealing to us a great deal more of dissatisfaction than we want to know about. It is a wifely “weakness” to endeavor to conceal the husband’s faults; to manufacture excuses for his shortcoming?; and try and cheat herself into believing she is all in all to him, when every indication points to the reverse; in short, she fancies, somehow, that she was born to be his moral and spiritual waterproof. The records are full of women clinging to hus bands who are worse than beasts, while many a widow wears the mournfullest of black, and observes with dreadful solemnity the anniver sary day of the death of a husband who was a brute, and whose life seemed specially devoted to making her miserable. These things sim ply illustrate the fool a woman will make of herself when governed by idiotic but customary notions of duty. That women are not alone in see ing and feeling the “fatal lack” of husbands, 1 bring in proof this ex tract from a gentleman’s letter to me hoping the violation of the confidence may find pardon in the end to be subserved: “I find it hard to believe that intelligent, honorable men do so invariably look down upon their wives and hold them in ‘subjection.’ Yet I can not be in a family circle half an hour without, in most cases, seeing evidence of it in snubs, or wotse yet, in that kind of complais ance which is a fiction of the tirst water. It seems to me that a man of decent pride and self-respect would loathe the idea ol marrying an ‘inferior.’ Even the human fondness for using or abusing power would be no temptation to give oneself utterly to a person whom it was possible to look down upon. I suppose that men do iook up, or think they do, in courtship, but have so little knowl edge either of their sweethearts or themselves, that after marriage they make disappointment an excuse for selfishness.” In that final word “selfishness” he struck a key-note. That women were born entirely for the use of men; that the success or value of their existence is proportioned en tirely to their help and value to men, seems to be an ineradicable idea among husbands. But that men owe just as much to women; that the husband’s relation lo the wife is a compensatory and mutual one, and in no respect a one-sided affair, is a truth that seems to be ever falling by the wayside, as it so seldom if ever finds lodgment in the hearts of men. Not long since a prominent New York journal made record ofa wife’s servitude in a foreign land; enlarged upon her care tor her husband; do led upon her attention to him when he would come home drunk; com mended her infinite care in screening him from well-merited justice by suffering in his stead; detailed at length incidents illustrating her self- denying qualities, her meekness un der insult, her sweetness under bru tal treatment, and above all her mod- esty her “true, noble, womanly modesty” which would never admit ot her being the recipient of anything pleasant, when it was possible for her husband to receive it in her stead. This sanctimonious journal published the account with the add ed regrets that these faithful, unsel fish wives were now only a memory of the past, and that the women ot the present day no longer practiced those self-denying virtues that so a- dorned the sex, but were constantly striving to augment ihpimwn hanni ness and importance f How strange a d awful! We all know how sweet and good it is to deny ourselves for the sake of those we love; to suffer in iheir stead; lo minister to their happiness; to shield their faults. Then we also know how biller, how hard, how cruel it is, to do all this and receive lor compensation neither smile of appre ciation, nor a word of approval; only a cold, careless exterior, and a man ner demanding and expecting all these things from the right of superi ority! Many husbands seem to think—4f they once stop to think at all—that what to them would undoubtedly be distasteful and unjust will not be re garded by their wives as such, be cause they are women. This is a fa tal mistake. What hurts a man hurls a woman all the same, only more. The deprivation of enjoyments no matter of what kind or degree, is as keenly felt by women as by men. A wife needs loving demonstration, honest regard, and thorough re spect from her husband just as much as he needs the same from her; and more even, for her range of employ ment is more limited. What is more, no wife can thrive in heart, in mind, and in body without it. If a man wants the best wife in the world he must be to her the best husband. And in order to be to her the best husband, he must place himself in her place—imagine the exchange of personality a dozen times a day if need be-so he may know how to act. How few husbands can look back over this single, solitary day per haps, and after diligent introspection truthfully say, “I have been to my wife this day just what I would have her be to me, if I were she instead.” You may try lo soothe your con science and justify matters by say ing, “Oh, well! women haven’t been used to these things, and they don’t expect them.” Oh, but, sir, they do expeet them. They have a born right to, and need of them equal jvilh yourself. Every girl born into this world comes into it with a soul and heart as full of fresh need and love and right as did Eve. She does not inherit a preparation for injustice be cause her foremothers may happen to have had it for six or sixty thousand years. If girls didn’t have men for their fa thers, it is possible they might be born with natural propensities foe “subjection.” But now a man in expecting submission and obedience from his wife is oftimes made aware of the fact that he is simply walking rough-shod over the natural-born rights of his high-bred old father-in- law, manifested in a temple more refined and delicate aud sensitive. What then ? But aside from the “odious” help of sharing toil, the cares of the household and children, there is the help of development. Many wo men have less education from books and the world than have their hus bands ; and is it not the duty of the latter to aid their wives in making up the deficiency ? As a mere mat ter of selfishness, men should do it. The compensation would more than cancel the task, it it could be class ed among tasks. Some one has said that a “family man” has no right to be off evenings ; neither has he a right to demand a style of housekeeping which will make it necessary for the wife to do nothing but attend to purely domes tic affairs, which would be a great “affliction” to men who regard the gratification of their especial stom achs of more moment than the thri vmg graces of a wife’s mind and heart. As domestic partnership is new mostly conducted, the man starts ahead of the woman, or if even with her he soon gets ahead and keeps ahead. Burdens come upon her which he can not or will not share, often u|>ou the *I-ara-holier- than-thou” principle. Business swal- lows him up, or keeps hirn socially so far removed from hi3 wire that she almost forgets she has a husband. She is either thrown back upon her self for companionship, or accepts it from outside sources, which are not always safe or best. A great deal of nonsense has been talked and written about the happi ness of the home depending upon the wife. Just as much depends upon the man, and indeed more,. when be assumes or demands the super-balance of power. Home is where women thrive or perish; and that it be a garden of love and sun shine, or a desert of ill-winds, and barren of love and sympathy, de pends upon the husband more than be may at first imagine. He stamps domestic life with its vital, charac teristic principle. To suppose that the reflection or utilization of this principle will be more beautiful and worthy than the prototype is to ex pect figs to grow on thistles. If all marriage bonds were inscrib ed wiih the “Golden Rule” for an inflexible law, would there not be ^ “ 'B«nord ? Would not at least civil courtesy a- bound among married people as well as among mere friends ? Do husbands over consider how supremely, disgustingly hateful it is to a wife to be treated, held, and considered like a child ; to f»e en trusted with no dignified trust; to have money doled out in certain a- mounts; to be held accountable for every expenditure made; to be al ways obliged to defer to the hus band's sense of propriety and expe diency; to regard her just rights as a husband's kind and loving indul gence to be consulted simply for the sake if appearance; to be the recipient of smiles and courtesies before strangers, and just the reverse when alone; to feel that she is sup ported by her husband, like a fine carriage horse; to carry the baby while he trots on ahead ; to mend his stockings while he smokes in her face and reads lo himself; to stay at home while be goes abroad; to be my dear” and “my loved” only when he wants something he never deserves; to never know the stale of their mutual finances; if a working woman to cary wood and water, while be leans by the hour over a gate post talking politics ; to be up night after night with sick children, while be sleeps as sound as a brick; to be ignored when the homestead is sold ; to be hungry for sympathetic companionship; for tender, loving caresses as of the courtship days; for hearty expressed appreciation, but never getting these; to hear a hundred times a year, “My wife, my darling, God bless yon!” and never hearing it t Ah, well! the catalogue is too long. The remainder siauds in long columns in your own soul, it you will only open it and look in. Think what li f e would be to you without the woman you love best— without her who gave you a foretaste of heaven—without her whose all- sacrificing love is the highest expo nent of Divine Love—without your wife—the mother of your children, whose precious life has been once and again and again placed in the very jaws of death, all for love ot you, and then ask yourself if you love this loving, self-sacrificing soul even as you love yourself. Mast E. A. Wager. We Must Work.—Every rasa builds his own house ; builds it ma ny chambered, fresh-ventilated, pic ture-hung, vine-wreathed, guest- full ; or, low-pent, bare-walls, flow erless, inhospitable—just in accor dance with his inner nature. Pre cisely as the internal force of affini ty in the Mollosk lays hold of and aggregates round itself the fine lime pan'cles in the sea water, so does the internal force in the human soul lay hold of and aggregate around itself what it wants. The surrounding ocean bolds in solution knowledge, pleasure, meat, drink, wit, wisdom, friends, flowers, God ; and out of this wealth we secrete our shells— clam-shells or nautilus-shells, as we are clams or nautili. We find wbat we crave—-fun if we have a zest for the funny ; friends, if we long for friends ; beauty, if we love beauty; thought, if we tend to thought.—' Slowly we build up our house, small or large ; if we are refined, it is refined ; if we are roomy, it roomy. is The following story is related by Mr. Jefleraon concerning the first Co.iliuenial Congress,: “Delegate Harrison, of Virginia, desiring to stimulate,' presented himself and a friend at a certain place where sup plies were furnished Congress, and ordered two glasses of brandy and water. The man in charge replied that liquors were not included in the supplies furnished Congress. 'Why,' said Harrison, 'what is it, then, that I see New England members come here and drink?* 'Molasses and wa ter, which tkay have charged as sta tionery,' was the reply. 'Then give me the brandy ana water,' quoth Harrison, 'and charge it as fuel.’ ” A resident of Manchester, Me., owns a flock of forty-three turkeys, who have formed a copartnership with the crows ie exterminating the grasshoppers. The turkeys and crows meet and freely mingle, and seem to greatly enjoy each other’s Society,
