How to flanage a Husband.
An Essay road by Mrs. C. W. Williams at the
Farmers' Institute held in the Court House in
Emporium, Cameron County, Pa., on Jau. 19th,
1901, and at Mitchell's Opera House, in Drift
wood, Cameron County, I'a., on Jan. 21st, on the
above subject:
This being a "Farmers Institute," it would be
most natural to expect something along that
line; but on thorough investigation, I discover
that more people are engaged in the business of
matrimony than in any other occupation; and it
is the hardest way on earth for a woman to get a
living, unless she understands how to manage a
man. And no woman should be married until
she is thoroughly posted in this branch of her
education. After over thirty years of experience
it would be a dull scholar, indeed, that could not
give some useful information.
Helplessness of Man.
In the very beginning it was decided by the
highest possible authority that if was not good
for a man to be alone, anil we don't wonder at it
when we look about us and see how much some
men expect of theirwives. We read somewhere
recently that: "Of all creatures in this world a
man is the most helpless alone. A chicken two
hours old can take better care of itsell than a
man can". Of course a woman wrote this and
the next conclusion is that woman washed her
husband's neck and ears ever since she had him
and has made him just the helpless creature that
he is.
Selecting a Husband.
Asa rule husbands are just what you make
them (of course it won't do to tell them this) and
the better material you have to start on the better
job you can perform with the same amount of
labor. If you have a bump of cheerfulness
developed in your nature don't inarr.v a tomb
stone. Altogether he is about as genial as an
iceberg and you will go plodding through life
with him to the march ofhisown laden thoughts.
You may be distinct aud dignified, you couldn't
freeze him any colder than he is. You may love
and pet him. Its a waste of ammunition. He
can't be thawed out. Above all things don't
marry a dude; he is a weak minded, contempt
ible apology for a man. Clod created him a man,
therefore let him pass for one. But one good
honest industrious young man is worth all the
floating flops in the world. Unless they can
choose wisely or learn to manage a man, girls
had better set their affections on cats and poodles
and let matrimony alone.
The Family.
The family is the oldest and the most valuable
institution on earth. It begins properly with
the first offspring. In reality there is no family
until the husband can say to his wife two times
one are two and one to carry makes three; and
the little third party often brings the husband
and wife nearer together than anything else
could possibly do.
rtutual Helpfulness.
Every wife should be a help-mate to her hus
band. For instanoe, if you bad the pleasuro of a
large washing before you, and he has the labor
ious task of going to tho city, or taking a trip
through the country; change work with him,
and let him help you wash in the forenoon, and
you help him ride in the afternoon. A good
wife will deny herself to entertain her husband,
especially on wash day; but some men will say,
"when I come to that I will hire it done," We
find no fault in hiring it done, butas to coming
down to help a woman, my dear sir. who created
you so far above a woman that you have to con
descend, to come down. Iknowtlie nible says
that the husband shall bo the head of the house
hold; but it also says that the wife shall be a
crown to him anil you know that the crown is a
little higher and above the head. Such being
the case,come up gentleman on a level with your
Wives and assist in the home whenever you can
do so, without infringing upon larger and more
important duties,
Is Harriage a Failure.
The question is often asked "Is Marriage a
Failure." We say no, if you don't expect too
much of it, but don't run the risk of trying to
reform a man after marriage. In all probability
you will be disappointed il you do.
If your husband used tobacco when you mar
ried him, the Bible forbids all curtain lectures
afterward, lor it says,"He that is filthy let him
be filthy still." There is a bright side to every
thing if you will only look till you find it. if
your husband smokes, be thankful he doesn't
chew; if he smokes and chews both, be thankful
he doesn't drink; if he does all three, be thank
ful he won't live long. It has been said, "Best
men are moulded out of fault, but it is not every
one that has the ingredients in her make-up to
do the moulding The main difficulty is, that
people demand of marriage all of the universal
virtues of patent medicine, warranted to cure all
infirmities. The marriage ceremony does not
remove a woman's faults or a man's crooked dis
position; they are exactly the same people they
were before they were married, only a little
more so. Do we not know this world? Haven't
we measured it iu the pint enp of our experience
and found out many things which our youth and
inexperience fondly disbelieved? Have you ever
found perfection in literature, whether climate,
your friends, or anything in this world? Then
why demand of marriage more than of these
other things. Behold the innocence of the
young lady who to' ( ' her father she was not par
ticular in her choice of a husband; she only
wanted one who used neither tobacco, strong
drink lior profane language, who would spend
his evenings at home and be wholly devoted to
her. My child, replied the father, "Your a
stranger here; Heaven is your home."
The New Woman.
We hear much about the new woman of to
day and I am glad we have women who are not
afraid to leave the beaten track of their grand
mothers anil step out on a new line for them
selves. Informer ages woman was little else
than a cook, and domestic of general house
woiik. but she has added to thes ■ her persona!
liberty and higher education. It has taken this
world over eighteen hundred years to discover
that a woman amounts t> snuothin; au I per
haps in i hundred more it will be willing
to give her the same privilege it gives the ignor
ant foreigner who can't tell the English language
from a porous piaster. Although may not can
to vote, it is just ii little humiliating to know the
only ones denied the ballot are the criminal, the
lunatic, idiots and women. Whatever the all-
Wise Creator gave woman ability and intelligence
to do is positive proof to my mind, that He in
tended she should do, if she wanted to. And
when a man has toiled, step by step, up the
ladder of Fame he will be sure to find a woman
at the top. Asa rule women are not so very
anxious to vote, but they do want the men to ad
mit that they have intelligence enough to do so.
The Wife's Horse.
Another imposition that is often practiced on
the woman; the farmers' wife especially, is; if
there is an old ring-honed, spavined, crippled
hoisethat is stoven up generally and good for
no earthly use, it is kept for the women to drive.
While we urge in these modern days that a
woman should demand a horse that when she
starts for a given point, her clothes will not get
out of style before she gets there.
Training of Children.
If the hand that rocks the cradle is the band
that rules the world how important that she
cultivate those qualities that are noble and grand
and lead to true happiness. Fifty years hence
the cradle babies of to-day will heon deck of our
Great Ship ofstate. Let them be well trained
for we are going to leave a big contract on their
bauds. In one of these homes the unconcious
President of the future is perhaps at this mom
ent teeth ing and howling in dead earnest, and is
perfectly justified too. In another the future ro
nowned Astronomer is winking an d blinking
with but languid interest in auything outside
the "Milky-Way;" and in another perphaps our
future Oreat Historian is lying, and doubtless
will continue to lie till his earthly mission is
ended.
flatrimonla! Responsibilities.
When I see so many people rushing into matri
mony, and rushing out again, I think of that re
markable piece of Scripture, "Many are called,
but few are chosen." Man is fearfully and
wonderlully made; but with a proper amount of
wisdom you can study their dispositions. There
are men if you want them togo forward, just
give them a twitch backward and all Creation
couldn't keep them back. Every man has little
infirmittes of temper an d disposition which re
quire to be managed; prejudices which should be
avoided; fixed opinions which shoud be handled
with care; but by careful study you can know
him as well as though you had gone through
him with a lighted candle. The best of men
have tbeir failing and married life is not all
sugar; but a wise mixture of love and kindness is
an excellent remedy, when properly applied and
every wife needs a good stock of love to start
with. Dove is a power which rules.
"All men below and Saints above; for Love is
Heaveu and Heaven is Love." So, if you would
know the joys of Heaven, start a branch estab
lish ment here on earth, yourself and husband
equal partrers, and you will have a foretaste of
the "Sweet Bye and Bye." Most men are like
water, they boll or freeze, according to the temper
ature they are in. Soifyou carry sunshine in your
heart, it will soon thaw out. Prove yourself a
worthy and competent counsellor and he will
ask your opinion every time; sometimes straight
forward and sometimes in a circle, but he will
ask it all thesame. A woman Jumps at a con
clusion at once, where a man wolud spend a half
a day reasoning it out, and her instinct is oftener
truer than a man's reasoning. Some men own
it, but some won't; but they all believe it like
gospel. If your husband has faults be careful
how you broach the subject; some things want
doing gently and telling a man his faults is one
of them. You would not use a hatchet, to
break open an egg, or a sledge hammer to kill a
fly on your baby's forehead. So you must not
expect to mend your husband's faults by blow
ing him sky high. A cheerful wife never scolds.
It is said a Drain is worth little without a tongue,

but deiiver lis from a Longus without a brain.
We admit that Rome women have tuultH, such
as false hair, false teeth, false complex! ons, etc.,
but as a rule there are mora good wives than
the world gives credit for.
Finances.
Every woman should have a complete know
ledge of her husband's business transactions and j
although she does not wear the breeches she
need not be ignorant of how they shonld be |
worn, if she knows the exact state of his finan
cial atfairs, she will know just exactly what she
can and what she can not afford. We often hear
women complain of the humiliation it causes |
them to ask their husbands for money.
You are not a beggar asking for charity; are you |
not equal partners? Then do it with the dignity |
of a millionaire calling on his banker and not |
like a scared rabbit hunting for clover.
The Ideal Home.
The surest way tore tain your husband's lovt 1
is to make home happy. Pull up your shades I
and let God's sunshine into your hearts, if you
a re not your husbands equal study, and improv
yo nr mind until you can converse with him on
' any subject and he will respect you far more
than if you spend your whole life toiling and
drudging in the kitchen until there isn't cheer
fullness enough about you to even smile at his
coining. 1 know/1 is said that the surest way of
reaching a man's adections is by the way of his
stomach, but I believe that plain living and high
thinking are better than high living and low
thinking. There's a why for every wherefore and
the why for family jars consists in not knowinge
how to manage. Now we have the best husband
iu the world and I will wager ten to one that if
any other woman undertook to draw the matri
moni til reins, they wouldn't drive forty rods be
fore he would kick over the traces, smash up
the whiiHetrees and raise ned in general. They
don't understand the science of management;
you must lead, not drive. The only way is to
look humble and be desperately cunning; bait
them with submission then throw the noose
0 ver their will; walk around the bump of anta
gonism and pat their bump of self-conceit. Its a
great mistake to contend with the Lord's of
creation. What can't be had by force must be
won by stratagem; make a silken rein of love
and lead them where you will but under no con
sideration must you attempt to drive or they will
at once canterolfto the fatherest limit of the
matrimonial pasture.
Then let us have homes in which there shall
be no searching blasts of passion, no polar storms
of coldness and hate; homes refined by books
and gladdened by songs; homes in which wife
and mother shall not loose all her attracting
charms by un-remitting toil and drudgery; nor
husband and father starve his brain and dwarf
his soul by hours of overwork; homes in which
liappy children shall ever see the beauty of love
and holiness, homes of culture and homes of
love.
