Brother Jonathan's Wife's Aduice to her
daughter on the day of her marriage.
Now, Polly, as you are about to leave
US, few words seem appropriate to the
occasion. Although regret the separa-.
ton, yet ] am pleased that your prospects
are good. You must not think that all be-
fore you are Elysian fields. Toll, care
and trouble, are the, companions of frail
human nature. Old connexions will be
dissolved by distance, by time and death.
New ones are formed. Every thing per-
Itaining to this life is on the change.
A well cultivated mind united with a
pleasant, easy disposition, is the greatest
accomplishment in lady. / have en-
!deavored, from the first to the last mo-
ment, to bring you.up in such manner
as to form you for future usefulness in So
ciety. Woman was never made merely
to see and be seen; but to fill all lmpor-
tant space in the great chain of nature,
planned and formed by the Almighty Pa
rent of the Universe. You have been
educated in habits of industry, frugality,
economy and neatness, and in these you
have not disappointed me.
1t is for the man to provide, and tor
the wife to take care and see that every
thing within her circle of movement, is
done in order and season: therefore, let
method and order be considered impor-
tant.
A place for every thing andeyery thing
in time, are good family mottos.
A thorough knowledge Of every kind
of business appropriate to the kitchen, is
indispensable, for without such knowledge
lady is incapable of the management of
her own business, and is liable to imposl-
ton by her servants every day. But In
those things you have been instructed.
You will be mistress of your own house,
and observe the rules in which you have
been educated. You will endeavor above
all things to make your freside the most
agreeable place for the man of your
choice. Pleasantly and happy DISPOSE
ton will ever be considered necessary to
this important end, but a foolish fondness
is disgusting to all. Let reason and COM
mon sense ever guide-these, aided by a
pleasant, friendly disposition, render life
happy; and without these it is not desira-
Bile. Remember your cousin Eliza. She
married with the highest prospects; but
from a petulant, peevish, complaining dis
position and negligence, every thing went
wrong; and her home became place OF
disquetude to her husband. To avoid
this, he sought place to pass away va
cant time, where, associated with those
more wicked than himself, he contracted
the habit Of intemperance, and all was
lost-and poor Eliza was thrown on the
charity of her friends.
Be pleasant and obliging to your neigh
bors- to grant assistance when ne
cessary. Be careful of their characters
and do not readily believe an i'll report
Throw the mantle of charity over their
failings, knowing that we are human and
liable to err Abhor tattler, and give
no place to the reports of such. However
strong a provocation may be, never con-
tend for the last word.
Let your Bible show that it is used.-
Give no place to novels in your library.
Let history, biography and travels be read,
when time and opportunity admit-wlth-
out interfering with the important duties
of the family. Be not ignorant of the
events of the time heing. therefore read
