Household Tvjiant8.?History givos us foil length portaiU of many of tbe colloessl oppressors of mankind, but makes little or no mention of the private tyrants who have abounded in all ages and countries among the 'undistinguished throng.' Yet, in proportion to their opportunities, the lstter are perhaps as culpable as the former. There are fireside monarcbs as ctuel as remorseless, as utterly selfish and brutal as any crowned villain that ever lived. The difference between one of these family despots and nNero or a Commodus, is simply a difference of sphere and of nower. It is true, he cannot violentlv nut to dealh his subjects?liis wife and family without being held responsible by the law; but he can kill them by inches without the slightest danger. Qe can murder by little and little, tho poor weak woman whom he has promised before heaven to cherish and protect, with aa muoh impunity as the Sultan of Turkey can bowstring a treacherous slave. "We rail at the lawless deeds of kings and his emperors, but many n household kaiser rules his family as tyranically, as they rule their "hereditary bondsmen.." If the annals of each do raeslio despotism were patent to the world, as they are to the world's Creator, we ' should all be compelled to admit that the tyrants of history, black as they are painted by historians, did not witness the torture of their victims with more pleasure than Bomo husbands and fathere seem to taVe in tormenting their wives and children.
