RULES and MAXIMS for promot
ing MATRIMONIAL HAPPINESS.
Addfeffed to the Widows, Wives, and
Spinsters in America.
THE likeliest way either to obtain a
good husband, or keep one so, is
to be good yourielf.
Never ule a lover ill whom you design
to make your husband, left he should ei
ther upbraid you with it, or return it af
terwards; an ' if you find at any time an
inclination to play the tyrant, remember
these two lines :
Gently (hall those be rul'd who gently fway'd ;
Abject fhaU those obey, whohaughty were obey'd.
Avoid, both before and after marriage,
^1 thoughts of managing your husband.
Never attempt to impose upon his un
derstanding, nor to give him uneasiness
(as some do very foolifhly to try his tem
per;) but treat him always beforehand
with sincerity, and afterwards with affec
tion and reiped.
Be not over-sanguine after marriage,
nor promite yourfeit felicity without 'al
loy ; for that is impossible to be attain
ed in the present state of things. Confi
der beforehand, that the person you are
going to spend your days with is a man,
and not an angel ; and if when you come
together, you discover any thing in his
humour or behaviour that is not altoge
ther so agreeable as you exped, pafs'it
over as a human frailty; fmoorh your
brow, compose you. temper, and try to
amend it by chearfulnels and good-na
ture. Remember always, that whenever
misfortunes may happen to either, they

TAKEN up by the subscriber the 10th ultmo, a
red roan m^re colt, two or three years old, bran

Springfield, August 27, i 7 B„
are not to be charged to the account of
matrimony, but to the accidents and in
firmities of human life; a burden which
each has engaged to assist the other in
Supporting, and to which both parties are
equally expoled. Therefore, instead of
murmurs, reflexions, and disagreement,
whereby the weight is rendered abun
dantly more grievous, readily put your
shoulder to the yoke, and make it easier
for both.
Rofolve every morning to be good-na
tured and chearful that day; and if any
accident should happen to break that re
solution, fuffer it not to put you out of
temper with every thing besides—and
especially with your husband.
Dispute not with him, be the occasion
what it will; but rather deny yourfelf
the trivial Satisfaction of having your own
way, or gaining the better of an argu
ment, than risk a quarrel, or create a heart
burning, of which it is impossible to
know the end.
Be affurd that a woman's power, as
well as her happiness, has no other foun
dation but her h (band's eftcem and love;
which, confequenth, it is her undoubted
interest, by all means possible, to preserve
and increase. Do you therefore study
his temper, and command your own;
enjoy his fatisfaXions with him, Share
and tooth his cares, and with the utmost
diligence conceal his infirmities.
Think frequently on what you promised
at marriage, and tak,e care to remember
the word obey. Let the tenderness of
your conjugal love be exprefi'ed with such
decency, delicacy, and prudence, that it
may appear plainly and thoroughly di
ftina: from the defignbg fondnefs of a
woman of pleasure.
