She stands within the Sacred threshold of home—the lionie is about Ao they the'angel, not the Xffignnpi beneath.

Tiuagaest looks up in his face and then sighs and suddenly tmrsts into she is alone in the The man would be a prodigious fool if he were not a real villian. lie knows this woman's whole body is not worth his true wife’s little finger, but be is in the power of the syren. They gloss over their wickedness with the usual clap trap about “ affinitier,” and the pa pers record an elopement in the gen eral serio-tragic style. Os the broken hearted wife, shamed by the world's pity, of the little children left to its charity, there is not much to say. They would gladly sink into oblivion forever. The man would be ulti mately punished by remorse, if so ciety would let him alone; “but there are extenuating circumstances,” it says. “JbUlier his wite was too cold for a man of his temperament, and had no with him, or lie her nothing in tween them. So, when he is ready to return and give up the situation, she must be ready to receive him and make it all up. Xes, if she in n good and true woman she will, and let God take care of the consequences; but for the woman who would leave her home in that way, there is no return from in fatuation.” Her own and every other door is barred against her, and she sinks down ! down ! Why ? Be cause there is that in the heart of every woman that condemns her to death. The outraged purity of her soul avenges itself. It is her own hand that stones her. No woman can carry on a flirtation with a married man that is not crim* inal. No married woman can flirt innocently, even with a young man. It is the first step toward unbalancing his character. Through her he sees other women and forms an estimate. The young girl that enters the family and wins the affections of the hus band and father knowingly—and she can not do it otherwise—has entered on the road to perdition. There is a punishment for the kousebraker, but none for the homebraker, who steals and mars life’s best treasures. Every woman has the first best right to her own husband. lie is hers, in sick ness and in health, to love and to cherish, as exclusively as she should be his. He is to provide for her, honor her and love her. He is her protector against all the adverse cir cumstances of life. No other woman has any right to the same attentions and endearmerts, and a wife has a perfect’ right to resent intrusion. A man who saw another man’s arm around his wife’s waist would consider it a case for court, or an exercise for pistol shooting. Women with keener sensibilities and finer natures, feel it deeper. It touches the heart. A certain sensi ble friend of mine says there are two things she will never allow anybody to meddle with—her husband and her sewing machine. Such flirtations are unworthy of true manhood or woman hood. They blight the lives that were created in the original of God and make the innocent suffer for the guilty. Mothers would do well to see their daughters are not mentally grown on the morbid books in which somebody is ißvays represented as falling in love with somebody’s hus band or wife, ami a “ soul union ” pictured, which is only intended to veil the incarceration of lust. There are enough men and women to fall by the force of circumstances, or the depravity of original sin, without educating any to it. It is well enough to pull our ox or ass out of the pit, but we do not want to dig pits for them to fall into.
