Woman's Sunny Temper.

WHAT a blessing to a household is a merry, cheerful woman—one whose spirits are not affected by wet days, or little disappointments, or whose milk of human kindness does not sour in the sunshine of prosperity! Such a woman, in the darkest hour, brightens the house like a piece of sunny weather. The magnetism of her smiles, the electrical brightness of her looks and movements affects every one. The children go to school with a sense of something great to be achieved, her husband goes into the world in a conqueror's spirit. No matter how people worry and annoy him all day, far off her presence shines, and he whispers to himself, "At home I shall find rest." So, day by day she literally renews his strength and energy; and if you know a man with a beaming face, a kind heart, and a prosperous business, in nine cases out of ten you will find he has a wife of this kind.—Selected.
