A DISCOURSE BY
BEV. T. DeWITT TALMAGE. ON
SUNDAY MORNING OCT. 17TH.
■IISKAYl* AYI> Ull'K.
Let every one in particular love his own
wife even as himself, ami the wife see that
she reverence her husband.—Ephesians v.33.
All this good advice by a man who never
married. He lived on to fifty-eight years of
age in eminent bachelorhood. Indeed, it
was 1 letter for Paul to remain i._ single life,
because be went on such rapid missionary
expeditions that no companion could have
endured the hardship. Celibacy in some
cases is better. Such persons accomplish,
under such circumstances, that which could
not be accomplished in the other style of life.
I have known men who remained unuflianced
in order that they might take care of chil
dren of a deceased brother, and what would
become of the world without the self-sacri
fice and helofulness of the maiden aunts I
cannot imagine. Among the brightest
queens of heaven will lie those wh<> take cnre
of other people's children. Alas for that
household which has not within easy call an
aunt Mary. I know that there are carica
tures, and ungallant things sometimes said;
but so far as my observation goes they are
quite equal in disjxisition to their married
sisters! The state of celibacy honored by
such persons as Macaulay and Washington
Irving in literature, and Florence Nightin
gale and Miss Dix in philanthropy. But
while Paul remained in the single state he
kept his eyes open, and he looked off upon the
calm sea of married life and upon the
ehopi>ed sea of domestic perturbation. Ho
comes forth in my text to say: “Let every
one in particular love his own wife even as
himself, and the wife see that she reverence
her husband,” implying that the wife ought
to be lovable so there might be something to
love, ami the man ought to be honorable so
there might lie something to reverence. It
is a most congratulatory thought that the
vast majority of people in the married state
are well mated. When the news is first an
nounced in the outside world of the lietroth-
al, there may be surprise and seeming incon
gruity, but as the years pass by it is demon
strated that the selection was divinely ar
ranged. There may be a great difference of
temperament, great difference of appearance
great difference of circumstances. That is
no objection. The sanguine and phlegmatic
temperament make appropriate union, the
blonde and the brunette, the quick and the
slow, the French and the German. In the
machinery of domestic life there is no more
need for the driving-wheel than for the
brakes. That is the best union generally
which has just the opposites. The liest argu
ment in behalf of marriage as a divine insti
tution is the fact that a vast majority of
conjugal relationships are 'he very best
things that could have happened. Once in a
while there is a r sounding exception to the
good rule, the attempt being made to marry
fire and gunpowder, with the consequent ex
plosion in the divorce courts: but in the ma
jority of instanei s the conjugal relation is a
beautiful illustration of what the psalmist
said when he declared, ‘ God settetii the soli
tary to families.”
Taking it for granted, then, that you are
well mated, J - proceed to give you some pre
scriptions for don estio happiness, and, first
peal to her intelligent judgment anil she wifi
tie content, and your own disposition wi
not lie irritated. As long as you keep
mystery aliout your business matters sti
will wonder that the allowance is so small.
No honorable woman wants to spend more
money thun can be afforded. Come into con
sultation with her on this matter. Show
what are all your necessary outside expen
ses, all the money you must have for cigars i
and dinners at Delmonieo’s, and how much
it takes for the club house and for the politi- ,
cal campaign, and then have her present ;
all the domestic expenses, and then, alter j
consultation, do your best in economics it j
is a bad sign when a man dare not toll his |
business transactions to his wife. 1 here is
something wrong. Suppose you that the
gigantic forgeries which have been ©nactea ,
in this country would ever have taken place .
if tlie wife had been consulted? lhe wile
would have said : “Stop! Let us live in one j
room in the poorest house on the poorest
street of the poorest town, and have noth
ing but drv bread, rather than that you |
should make yourself culpable liefore God ]
and the law.” In the vast majority of ca»-
es where there has lieen exposure of great
frauds, the wife has been the most, sur
prised person in the community. A banker
some time ago misused trust funds, and he
went from fraud to fraud, and from knavery
to knavery, until it was necessary for him to
leave home before daylight. His wife said,
“Where are you going?” “1 am going to
New York;” said he. “lain going, on the
early train.” ‘‘Why, isn’t this sudden? she
asked. “Oh! no; I expected to go,” and then
he left the room and went up to the room
where his daughters slept, looked upon their
calm faces for the hist time, as he supposed,
and started. He was brought back by the
constables of an outraged law, and is now in
the penitentiary. Do you suppose that nian
with a good wife, as he had, an honest wire,
as he had, a Christian wife, as he had, could
have got into such an enormity if he had con
sulted in regard to her wishes? Consultation
is the world-domestic consultation.
Again : In order to domestic happiness
there must, in the conjugal state, be no se
crets kept one from the other. W hat one
knows, both must know. It is a bad sign
when one partner in the conjugal relation is
afraid to have the letters opened or read by
the other partner. Surreptitious correspon
dence is always dangerous. If a man comes
to you and says, “lam going to tell you a
great privacy, and don’t want you to tell
anybody, not even your wife,” say to him :
“Well, now, you had lletter not tell me, lor
I shall Tell her as soon as I get home.” Tnere
must be no secrecy of association. \ou
ought not to lie unwilling to tell where you
have been and with whom you have been.
Sometimes an unwise wife will have a lady
confident whom she makes the depository «>f
privacies which they are pledged to keep be
tween themselves. Beware! Anything that
implies that husband ai <1 wife are two and
notone, implies peril, domestic peril, social
j>eril, moral peril. In the vast majori'vof
cases of domestic infelicity coming t<> expos
ure in the courts, trouble began by the acci
dental opening of a letter which implied cor
respondence which was never suspected. In
the conjugal relations, secrets kept one
from another are nitroglycerine under the
hearthstone, and the fuse is lighted!
Again, in order to your happiness there
must be a spirit of forbearance. In the weeks,
the months, trie years that you were plan
ning each other’s conquest only the more
genial side of your nature was observable
but now you are off guard, an
are all known the one to the other. \ou are j

Anderson asked if his spirited looking horse
was gentle.
“Oh. Mr. Peacock, you know mothers are
timid.”
“Mrs. Anderson, it is because yon never
experienced the raising of wild boys.” |
“That may lie. I will not detain you any
longer, good bj'e and a pleasant drive,” sajs
all of them. |
“Now, PoIlj r , they are a handsome pair. I i

and consolation. When 1 saw to what a

I resolved, with His help, to glorify Him.
So, two hours before she expired, 1 knelt by

you without ceremony, domiciliated as l
have been in your house, you have realiz"d
my beau ideal of female loveliness; lovelj' in
form and feature, in sweetness and gentle
ness of character, and with all, a firmness to
defend the right. Indeed, I already love you
devotedly.”
“Mr. Peacock, j-ou embarrass me: I had no
idea of hearing such sentiments from you.”
“And why should you think I have not the
feeiings I try to express. I am no hypocrite,
one of those self-conceited people
quickly ol. ervant of faults in other
livious to faults in your.-elf, and now, bavin'
found out all each other’s imperfections, fo“-
hear. If the one he given to too much pie-
cision and tiie other disorderly in habits, if
the one be spendthrift and the other reticeit,
forbear. Especially if you both have Ji
ll nnmable tempers, do not both get madet
once. Take turn about! William Cowj.-r
put it well when he said :
The k'ndest and the happiest pair
• Will rind oi-c.is on to f-e-bear;
must be dominant. Yob nus? rem uiib.-r
that yob were twenty <>r thirty years form
iug independent habits and having your own
way. in the marriage state these habits
must be brought into accord, and there may
be some ingenuity necessary, lie determined
to have your own way and there will be no
peace. Let the rule be that in all matters of
moral principle your determination shall be
iron, and in all unimportant matters willow.
Whatever you may think oPthe w-rd com
promise in politics, without compromise
there is 110 domestic peace. A great many
people are willing to compromise if you will
do just rs they want j 011 to do; but there js
no compromise in that. The rule oughi. to
1a* in all domestic matters, all social matters,
all ecclesiastical matters, all politic :I mat
ters, firm adherence to fundamentals, easy
surrender in non-essentials. Be not too
proud or loo stu ! >b-mi to give up. Compro
mise! Coniproini. e!
I remark again, that in order to domestic
happiness there must be a spirit of consulta
tion. The home ought to be a cabinet where
tdl the affairs of the household and till the af
fairs of business life come un ier comparison,
inspection, and advisal. That is tin absurd
rule we hear abroad in the world, that men
ought never <0 take their business home.
Ten thousand financial failures would have
bee" avoided if men had consulted with their
wives. 'In the first place, woman has a
capacity' to judge of moral character which a
man has not. Before you invite into your
business partnership any mail, you ought io
introduce him to your wife and get her
judgment as to his capacity and his integri
ty. After five minutes' conversation she
will toil you as much aliost him us you will
know at the close of twenty years, and per
haps yon may find out too late. A man pro
poses to come into your business partnerstiip.
You take him to your home. He tarries a
littl*. while, and is gone. You say to your
wife, “Well, what do you think of him?” She
say's, “i don’t like him at all.” You say,
“It's an absurd thing to form a prejudice
against him at so short an acquaintance. I
have known him for years, amt I have never
known any bad against him.” “IFeJl,” she
says, “I don’t know why l have formed that
opinion, but 1 toll you to liewure. Put none
of your financial interests in that man's
keeping.” Ten or fifteen years puss bj-.
You come home some night and say, “Well,
iny dear, you are right; that man swindled
me out of my last dollar.” It is not because
woman is wiser than man. It is because
God has given her that jieculiar intuition in
regard to human character. Now, you have
no right to go int. 1 an enterprise which in
volves the homestead, or the education of
vour children, or the fate of your entire
family, without home consultation. Of
course, all this implies that j'ou did not mar
ry a fool. If at the marriage altar you
committed suicidi, jam had better keep all
your business affans in your own heart and
head. But let us hojie you have sound com
mon sense presiding in your household. How
much a wife mat' help a husband’s business
affairs was well illustrated in the case where
the wife saved from lhe allowance of herself
and the allowance of the family a certain
amount of money for a rainy day. After
some time the husband, coming home, said:
“Well, I’m going to suspend payment to
morrow. A few dollars would get mo
through, bu'. 1 can’t get the few dollars, and
I’m going to ruin.” That evening the wife
said, “I wish you would hunt up the defini
tion of the word ‘independence’ 111 Webster’s
Dictionary. Hunt i : . up for me.” He open
ed Webster's Dictionai v and found the word
“independence,” and right opposite was a
£100 bill. “Now,” she said, “1 would like to
huve you find the definition of the word
‘gratitude.’ "’ lie turned to the word “grati
tude,” and there was another *ioo bill. And
before the evening was past she askerl him to
read a verse of a certain chapter of the
Bible. He opened to the verse in the Bible,
and there was 5500. And liefore the evening
had passed the man had financial relief to
tide him over his distress. You call that
dramatic. I call that beautifully Christian.
In all expenditures there ought to lie con
sultation. Do not dole out money to your
wife as though she were a beggar. Let her
know how much jam have, or how little. Ap-

The next morning did not promise to be
I fair, but it would have lieen happier for our
! pun y if it had rained in torrents all day and
j a j] night too. Dark as the morning was it did
I not prevent a visitor coming to see Mr. Pea-
1 cock. Mr. John Hill hearing of his patron's
I mishap—but which he thought was purpose-
1 l y gotten up—hurried over to Mr. Anderson’s
I house to see him. The kind attention ho
: .rave tin* invalid made ail the family havere-
| spec: and affection for him. Mr. John Hill
was not idle. Whenever opportunity pre
! sented iie sounded the praises of “the best
; -nun in the world,” and “the wealthy and
i accomplished gentiemati traveler and schol
ar.” His hearers listened eagerly and be
lieved. Poor old Mr. Anderson thought the
millenium had come, anil he hoped Mr. Pea
cock would be pleased with Mary, and oh!
if they should marry! What visions of fu
ture greatness rose up in his mind at the
thought! But they did not prevent bis going
out to gather the vegetables, and help
John Miller hunt for iron ore—specimens to
show Mr. Peacock. The female portion of
tiie family were very yissidu ms ill theii at
tentions to both Mr. Peacock and his friend,
and listened, without doubting, to all the
tine stories iliut either of them told.
Mr. Peacock was now one of tae Anderson
familv. His recovery was slow; he could
at times leave his room, and a lounge in the
parlor was prepared for him. Very inter
esting he looked with his high, pale brow de
noting intellect; hut no one seemed to notice
the cruel curve of the lip, or see tiie evil
stare he gave when he thought he was un
perceived. Those—his kind and honest mind
ed entertainers—never thought of analyzing
a face that was agreeable to a superficial
observation. The whole family rejoiced in
his recovery. Mr. Anderson, in fact all the
family, would say, “I like him better and
better and lietter every day.” He gave tLem
his mother’s letter.-, to read, which they very
much admired, and she wrote to May thank
ing her and her fumily for their kindness to
her son. “Ob, Mr. Peacock was a great man,
surely.” One morning he told Mrs. Ander
son that if he should take si drive it would be
a lienefit to him. The evening was appointed
and he asked the pleasure of Miss Mary,s

sacrifice to the graces, must expeet to be ii
vogue for any t-iaie.

DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN.
Surrounded by her sorrowing familv and many
sympathizing friends. Mrs. I*. K. McDaniel, of !
Gordon county, Ga., breathed her last on Satur
day. the'-SSd lilt., at II o'e ock at night. She was
fit years old. Her remains were carried to At- !
lama, her former home, ami interred in Oakland i
cemetery.
• I know that m v Redeemer liveth,” were the j
last words she uttered, just ere death bore her
away: and trom these words Rev. A. T. Spalding
delivered the funeral discourse at the Second
Baptist Church, of which slic was an active and
valuable member, until she left Atlanta to make
her home in the country. Without a murmur,
and with true Christian fortitude, she lay ami
suffered through her protracted illness of 'many
long weary months, awaiting patiently, and with
an unwavering faith and quiet resignation for
the final summons, and when it came, she said:
“ I am ready.”
Gentle spirit mother, how dear she was! yet
we would not, were it in our power, cull her
back: fordid she not assure us, ere the spirit
crossed the dark waters, ih it she was going home
to heaven, and entreat us to meet ln-r in that
eternal home beyond the skies'?
