When you get married, be not ela,ed
with your situation, as many duties de-
volve upon you, which if pride and va
nifty pervert, will soon place you IN lar
more wretched state than when you were
single for neglectful wife renders her
self aud household continual scene OF
discord. Young people get married for
the mutual love they bear each other
consequently, it is with the easing hope
and anticipation of mutual happiness
To promote this requires their sludious
attention to every thing connected with
their husbands property, and thus rem
dering themselves counsellors as well as
companions for nothing ipjhres a wo-
man more in the eyes of the world, and
of course her husbands, than slothful,
indolent and ignorant conduct. "A
close application 10 the duties attendant
on the married life will soon render her
fully competent to the task.
A young married woman forSets the
important ruin, " that they marry for
life" They bask in the sunshine oilhe
honey moon, aud awake to find 1t is no
more than momenlary dream o! plea
sure. They must not repent the sudden
transition other du,les devolve upon
them, and TO secure the continual love of
Their husbands, they must be KIND ana
all.cti,nate, constant and true and
tne,r anticipated dream of pleasure Will
not evapurale ; and If a woman Is wedded
TO a sober, well informed man, her l'ie
w.ll be smooth stream OF uninterr''P-
ted happiness. Never indulge your in
cInaton to participate i'll the fashions
and iolies of the day. A beginning IN
this style will end in poverty: An nell
nation TO join the giddy in all their loo
lsh actions, will draw veil of sorrow
around you. There is no harm for you
to take the innocent recreations OF the
day, and enjoy yourself according to
your means and situation in life, but one
step beyond this is fatal to your happi-
ness. The theatre, the balls, and con-
certs are not suitable places for the wife
of an honest, industrious mechanic, to
whom | more particularly allude. Your
household, your husband, your family,
ought to be all these to you. n close
application to the duties OF your situ.-
ton, with the assistance of your husband
will probably enable you, in short
time, to appear at those places without
the finger Of scorn being pOin,ed at you
by those who look upon riches as the
| only prerogative to appear at the public
exhibitions. These opinionated people
are in this instance right.
If you marry man for love, remem-
| ber, that 10 secure your husbands con-
tnued affection, is to be after marriage
as you were before for change from
a SINGLE life TO married Que, often pro-
duce so wonderful an alteration in the
WON an, t,a, the husband scarcely recog-
nizes the object of his former love. Mark
this for many there are who act con-
trary TO these truths. and render them
selves miserable. You will find, by fol-
lowing the rule here mentioned, that the
married life is not SO very bad and disa-
greeable as some young and old married
people plan it.
Women are more inclined TO the spir
it of ruling than men. This originates
from the early lessons they receive from
their mothers, who being in the habit
ruling, teach their daughters the sam
pernjcious doctrine. Thus their daugh
ters can repeat, with the old song,
"My mother done so before"
: This accounts for the bold, arrogan
Z manners of our modern wives; for
"As the iwig is bent the trees inclnI."
: And thus these ruling mothers insti
q the same spirit in their daughters, whlc
d instead of benefit,ing them, are the meal
N of rendering them miserable.
Al 1t is great pity that women WI
N have husbands to rule and can rul
u should think all men alike. The idea
,e foolish and absurd. Why should the
E. have such notions of power when the
J. are bound to honor, love, and obey ?
to 1t requires only little reflection, on
r woman's part, to show them the fallat
10 of such pretensions, founded perhaps {
