DISCIPLINE IN THE HOUSEHOLD.

"The mistress of a household," says Caroline E. Stephen, "has, before all things, to rule. I can believe that a mistress who was not loved might yet, by a firm, wise and just rule, maintain a wholesome moral atmosphere in her house; but a mistress who was not obeyed, however personally winning and popular, would, as mistress, be a mere disastrous failure and cause of failure in others. In practice we all know that fear and love can scarcely be altogether separated; a reason, the more, for giving fear its proper place."
