CoMFoRTs FOR HoMELY WOMEN --"Beau,

erty, tending to corrupt the mind Of the wife
though it soon loses its influence over The
hus band. A figure agreeable and engaging
which inspires affection, withoutthe ebriet,
Of love, is ecmuch safer choice. The graceI
lose not their influence like beauty. At thu
end Of thirty years, a virtuous woman, wbt
makes an agreeable companion charms he,
husband more than at first. The compari
son Of love to fire holds good In one respect,
that the 6srcer il burns the sooner il Is es-
tinguished."
