Show Ti xrs Fkom the Talmud. If thy j wife be small, bend down to her and speak to her; do nothing without her advice. Everything in life can be replaced: the wile ot early days ia irreplaceable. Au honorable man honors his wife; a contemptible one despiseth her. The loss of a first wife is like the loss of a man's sanctuary in his life time. It a man divorces his wife, the altar itself sheds tears over him. Man and wife well matched have heaven's glory as their companion; man and womau ill matched are encircled en-circled by a devouring tire. liather any ache than heart-ache; rather any evil than an evil wife. He who lovelh his wile like him self, and honoreth her even more than himself; who leadeth his sons and his daughters in the path of integrity, in-tegrity, and who provides for their settlement in early lite; to him may le appiud the scripture passage, "Tnou shalt know that peace Bliall adorn thy tent." A man who takes a wife for the sakofhcr money rears ill behaved children. ! He who marries a woman congenial to himself is loved by the Almighty., When a man kseth his wife, the world around him groweth dark, the light in his t;-nl is dim, and the light before hhii is extuiguislu-d. He who has no wife lives without comfort, without help, without joy, and without blearing. |
