woman accustoGs herself to say II will -
she deserves TO lose hrrempi:e. Avoid
contradicting our husband. When Nv e
smell rose we expect to imbibe the
sweetness Of its Odor-so we look for
every thing amiable in woman. Who
ever is often contradicted, feels insensi,
bly, an aversion for the person he cou-
t!adicts, which gains strength by time.
Employ yourself in household affairs.
Wait till your husband conlides to YOU
those of higher importance, and not
give your advice till he asks it, Never
take upon yourself to be censor of your
! husbands morals; to read lectures to
him.-Let your preaching be good ex-
ample. Practice virtue yourself, to m ak Z
him in love with it. Command his at
tention by being always attentive to him.
Never exact any thing, aad you will OBJ
tain much. Appear always tlattered by
tue little he does for you, which will ex-
cite him to perform more. Men. as well
as women, are vain. Never wound his
vanity. not even in the most tritling in-
stance. A wife may have more sense
than her husband, but she should never
seem to know it. When a man gives
wrong counsel never make him feel that
he has done so, but lead him on bv de-
grees 10 what is rational, with mildness
aad gentleness. When he is convinced
leave him all the merit OF having found
out what is reasonable and Just when
husband is out Of temper, behave oblig-
ingly TO him. Ii he is abusive, never
retort. and never prevail on him to hum.

pour out thy complaint to God in his

Cherish neatness without luxury, and

ward adorning of plating hair, aud of
wearing of gold. or of putting on of APP

in regard to colors. 1t gives change to

Such things appear trifiing. but they are
OF more importance than imagined.

Cowley.-Cowley losing his father at
an early age, was left to the care Of his
mother. In the window OF their apart
ment lay Sponsors Fairy Queen, in
which he very early took delig bit TO read
till by feeling the charms of verse, he
became, as he relates, irrecoverably a
poet. Such, says Dr. Johnson, ARE the
accidents which. sometimes remember.
ed, aud perhaps sometimes forgotten, pro-
duce that particular designation OF mind
and propensity for some certain science
or employment. which is commonly cal
led genius. Cowley might be said to
lisp in numbers, and gave such early
proofs not only Of powers of language,
but OF the comprehension of things, as,
to more tardy minds. seemed scarcely
credible. When only in his thirteenth
year, volume oil his poems was print
ed, containing with other poeticaI COM
positions, The Tragical History of
PyEamus,' aud this being written when
he was ten years old and Constants
and Peiletus, written two years after.
And while still at school, he produced a
comedy ola pastoral kind, called Love
Riddle, though it was not published till
he had been some time at Cambridge.
