the accumulation of riches + be wise in, the
choice Of friends: vet little will this avail thee If
thou choosest not wisely the wife of thy bosom.
When the rulers of the people echo thy savings,
and the trumnets OF fame send thy name abroad
among tho nations, more beautiful will the sun
Of thy glory set if one bright cloud reflects its
brightness, and sullied forever will be the SPLEEN
dor of thy rays, if Ike dark spot she crosses its
surface. Consider this, then,1my son, and look
well to the ways of her whom thou wouldst
love--for little will all else avail thee, if thou
chooseth not wisely the wife Of thy BOSOM
See, yonder the 1naidens of Tingc ---they deck
themselves with the gems of Golconder and the
rose of Cashmere, themselves more brilliant and

for the gem will grow dim ana the rose wither,
and nonght will remain to thee of all thou didst
woo and win. Nsither turn thyself to the proud
one who yaunts herself on having scanned the

sacred name, what a responsible Office. She
must be the unspotted sanctuary to which wear

and feel that no sin dare enter there. A wife
She must be the guardian angel of his footsteps
on EARTH and guide them to Heaven: SO firm in
virtue that should he for moment waver, she
can yield the support, and replace him upon
its firm foundation so happy in conscious inno-
cence that when from the perplexities of the
world he returns to his home he may never find
frown where he sought smile. Such, my
son, thou seekest in a Wife, and reflect well ere
thou choosest Open not thy bosom to a triiler
