III her Just reflections upon the al-ruling l'rovl-
dence which governs the universe, whether IMAM
innate or animate.
Mutual poleness between the most intimate
friends is essential to that harmony which should
never he once broken or interrupted. How inn
porlant then is it between man and wiict The
more warm the attachment the less will either
party bear TO be sighted, or treated with the
smallest degree of rudeness or inattenlon This
politenpss, then, if it be not in itself virtue, is
at least the means of giving to real goodness a
new lustre it is the means OF preventing diseon-
tent. and even quarres; it is the oil of intercourse;
it removes ausperities, and gives to every thing
a smooth and even a pleasing movement.
| will only add, that matrimonial happiness does
not depend on wealth no, it is no, to be found in
wealth. but ia minds properly tempered and uni
ted to our respective situations. Competency is
necessary S; all beyond that point is ideal. Do
not suppose, however, that would not advise
your husband to augment his property by all hon
est and commendable means. | woul wish to
see him actively engaged in such pursuit, be-
cause engagement, sedulous employment, III OBJ
tanning some laudabe end, is essential happiness.
In the attainment Of fortune, by honorable means,
derives satisfaction in seIt-applause, as well
as from the increasing estimation III which he is
held by those around him.
In the management of your domestic concerns
let prudence aud wise economy prevail. Let neat
ness, order aud judgment, be seen III all your diff
ferent departments. Unite liberalily with a just
frugalitv: always reserve something for the hand
Of chartv and never let your door be closed to
the voice Of suffering humanity. Your servants,
in particular, will have the strongest claim upon
yonr charity let them be we'll clothed, nursed in
sickness, and never let them be unustiy treated.
