THE DAUGHTER AT HOME

Do not think that because there comes to you no great opportunity of performing a wonderful work, you will let the thousand little ones pass you unimproved. It is no small thing to be the joy of the domestic circle, the one whose soft touch and whose gentle, fitly spoken word averts disturbance and disagreement, conciliates the offended, and makes alien natures understand each other. It is no small thing to possess the happy tact which makes people pleased with themselves, and which insensibly urges people to appear at their best. The young woman who is gifted with this grace of touch, this swiftness of sympathy, and this beautiful unselfishness, may not have a fair face, nor a trim figure, but she will be endowed with a dignity more winning than either.
