HusBANps-Assist your wives in making home

Of joy and satisfaction Take them by the hand

Modesiy and delicacy are gems of priceless value !;

3. Husbands, be exceedingly cautious never to say

ing of your wives in company. Here, If possible,
show them more marked respect than when alone.
4. Give your wives TO understand that You esteem
them above all others; make them your con6dants;
confide in them, and they will in you; confidence
begets confidence; love begets love; sweetness be-

5. Above all, sympaihize with the wives Of your

" He that proyideth not for his own house,

This is equally true whether considered
in regard to communities or individuals To
protect and support each other is the first
duty Of every community. Man is o de-
pendent being, and no matter how much
wealth he may have amassed, even though
he be rich as Crasus, still he cannot live
independent Of his fellow-beings. Every
one, being dependent, is bound by the laws
Of society, to patronize either the mechanics
and traders Of his own, or some other com
munity. The same is true Of the farmer and
day laborer. The question then arises,
which win you support your neighbors, or
the operatives Of some other community
Many men say, - Buy where you can buy
cheapest, and sell where you can sell dear
est" This is dogma, when critically ex-
amined, that has neither sense nor economy
in it. II is very plausible on its face, but
various other considerations than mere nom

market for sale. The terms Of purchase in
many cases may render the highest price

at this time to argue this point To return
to our subject.

have families support, and have located

was, who said "Three removes are as bad
as fre.n The way to prevent this dire
calamity is for every neighborhood to en-
ploy its own mechanics.
Whenever you have occasion for employ
ing any one, first look around home, and if
you can find any one that can do your work
employ him, for in this way community is
benefited. When all are industriously EN-
ployed, healthy moral tone is given to it.
By employing our own mechanics, as far
as they can do our work, instead Of sending
abroad, business-like aspect is communi-
Gated to everything, home market will be
created for farmers, and general prosperity

If you want pair Of shoes or boots made
or mended, carriage, coat, in short any
thing in the mechanical line, go to your
neighbor who does such business, provided
you have one capable and honest, and EN-
ploy him, The practice Of going abroad for
your shoes, hat, coat, carriage, plough, &c,
is breaking down your neighbor mechanics,
and must, in the end, have bad influence.
This thing Of sending abroad for articles
which we can get from our home mechanics,
&c., is in effect saying we have no compe-
tent mechanics at home, or what is worse,
