THE MECHANICS WIFE.

A working man needs working wife; but
TO the qualities Of mind. manners, and morals,
she can not run too high in the scale. Phere
is an error prevalent concerning this. Giles
says" do not want wife with too much sense"
Why not? Perhaps Giles will not answer. bat
the shrug of his shoulders answers, Because l
am afraid she will be an overmatch for me-"
Giles talks like simpleton The unfortunate
men who have their tyrants at home are never
married to women of sense Genuine elevation
of mind cannot prompt any one, male or female,
to go out OF his or her proper sphere. No man
ever suffered from overplus of intelligence
whether in his own head, or in his wife's.,
A proper self respect would teach every no
bic hearted American, of whatever class, that he
cannot set too high value on the conjugal re-
la,ion. We may judge of the welfare and hon
or of the community by its wives and mothers
Opportunities Tor acquiring knowledge and even
accomplishments. are happily open to every
class above the very lowest and the wise me.
