A SELFISH MAN.

He regarded hts children as nuisances. He did all hla courting before marriage. He never talked over his affairs with his wife. He doled out money to his wife as If to a beggar. lie looked down on his wit® as an Inferior being. He neveT dreamed that there were two sides to marriage. He had one set of manners for home and another for society. He never dreamed that his wife needed praise and compliments. He thought his wife should spend all her time doing housework. He never made concessions to his wife’s Judgment, even In unimportant matters. He thought the marriage vow had made him bis wife’s master instead of her partner. v He thought be had a right to smoke and chew tobacco and drink liquor and be aa boorish and brutal to bis family as he chose regardless of the effect on them. Surely such a man needs regenerating td be fit to lire with anjWxlx.
