VII. If distressed or embarrassed il
your circumstances, communicate your
situation to her with candor, that she
may bear your difficulties in mind 10
her expenditures. Wives, sometimes,
believing their husbands circumstances
better than they really are, disbursc
money which cannot be well afforded
and which, ifthey knew the real sta
ton of their husbands affairs, they
would shrink from expanding.
VIII. Never on any account chide
or rebuke your wife in company, should
she make any mistake in history geo
graphy, grammar, or indeed on any
other subject. There are, | am per-
suaded, many wives Of such keen feel
ings and high spirits, land such wives
deserve to be treated with the utmost
delicacy,) that they would rather re-
ceivc severe and bitter scolding in
private than comparatively mild re-
buke in company, calculated to display
their ignorance or folly, or to impair
themi in their own opinion orin that of
Others.
ITO sum up all you now have heard,
Young mon and old, poruse the bard:
A female trusted to your care,
His rule is pithy, short and clear
BE to her faults a little blind;
BE to her virtues very kind;
Let all her ways be uncon6n'd,
And place your paddock on her mind"

The maxims and rules for the regu-
latiou Of the conduct Of married pec-
\ pie, occasionally published in newspa-
pcrs and magazines, are liable to very
strong objections. They frequently,
indeed almost always, imply highly
improper degree Of subordination or
subservience on the part of the wife,
and correlative superiority or author
ity on the part Of the husband, which
are incompatible with that cordially,
harmony, and good feeling, that ought
to subsist in such a near and indissolu-

The New York Post of the 22d ult.
says: We hear from source we deem
respectable, that there is likely to be
further trouble on the frontier. A gen.
tlenlan writes, "things arc coming to a

of the Canada war, and If am not de-

a reciprocity on the part Of the inhab-

other hand, have ] any reference to
wives who attempt 10 domineer over
and control their husbands; such wives
are to be met with occasionally.
Horace, the prince of poetical philo-
sophers, lays down an excellent rule
applicable to all the social relations,
and to none more appropriately than
to the matrimonial state. "Let my
friend," he says, "elevate a balance,
and throw my sins and imprefections
into one scale, and my good qualities,
II | have any, into the other; and should
the latter preponderate, let him take
me to his bosom; and shall deal with
him on precisely the same terms" How
wise maxim! one Of the most impor-
tant secrets Of social happiness. But
how frequently and how perniciously is
it disregarded! How often do we see
single failing, and perhaps very ven
ial one, indeed mere difference Of
opinion, produce serious and often las
ting discord between the nearest rela-
tiyes and friends!
Let husbands and and wives bear
constantly in mind that, being imper-
feet themselves, they ought not to ex-
pect absolute perfection from their
partners, but to overlook all their mi
nor inperfcctions, and never allow one
or two failings, or follies, or even vices,
to throw into the shade host of good
qualities;an error oflhe head or heart,
which, unfortunately, occasionally oc-
ours.

GENERAL RULES FOR HUSBANDS AND
WIVES.

GENERAL RULES FOR HUSBANDS AND
WIVES.
/. Should differences arise between
husband and wife, let the sacred and
invariable rule be, not as it unfortu-
nately too frequently is, who shall dis
play the most spirit, and play the des-
picable character of Mr.. or Mrs. Sui
len, but who shall mako the first ad-
vances; which ougth to be met more
than half way. This is cardinal rule,
which, if religiously observed by both
parties, can hardly fail to secure per-
ennial happiness. There is scarcely a
more prolific source of unhappiness in
the married state than this so-called
spirit, the legitimate offspring ofodious
pride and restitution of feeling.
ii. Perhaps the whole art of happi-
ness in the married state might be com
pressed into two maxims--.Bear and
forbear, and "Let the husband treat
his wife, and the wife her husband,
with as much respect and attention as
he would a strange lady, and she
strange gentleman"
Ill. trust much caution is scarcely
necessary against fiirtations, well cal
culated to excite uneasiness, doubts,
and suspicious in the heart of the hus-
band or wife OF the party who INDUCES
in them, and TO give occasion to the
censorious to make sinister observa-
tons. 1t is unfortunately too true,
that the suspicion of misconduct often
produces full as much scandal and evil!
as the reality.
"Trifes light as air
Are, to the jealous, confirmation strong
As proofs from holy writ"
~. 1t is a good rule of reason and
common sense, that we should not only
be, but appear to be, scrupulously cor
rect in our conduct, And, be it ohser-
we'd. that however pure ard innocent
the purposes of the parties may be at
the commencement, Irritation too often
leads to disastrous results. 1t imper-
ceptibly, but almost certainly, breaks
down some of the guards that hedge
round innocence. The parties in these
cases are not inaptly compared to the
moth iuttering around a lighted can
die, unaware Of the impending danger.l
