THE YOUNG MARRIED WOMAN

If there be an interesting sight in the world,
1t Is TO see sweet, pretty, young married wo-
man, assuming the duties Of housekeeping-
Fully impressed with the serious, yet pleasing
responsibilities of her position, and difident Of
her own ability to discharge them to the satis-
faction of him whom to crafty is the FIRST object
OF her heart she is for a time in constant state
OF hutter, hopes and tears, and this, despite the
ott-repeated praise of the happy young husband,
who declares he never tasted such coffee as she
makes in all his life; and when he was young
man he used to visit Victor's and Moreau' s. too,
and they were famous for their coffee but he
does not think, upon his honor, as the head of a
house, that he could ever drink it again. The
trembling hand of the young wife, in pouring
out the second cup, showed how pleasingIy agi-
tated his praise had made her.
When the breakfast is over, and the husband
has left for the business Of the day, and the part
ing KISS has been given, she begins to busy her.
self with all manner of self-imposed dulles
Charles will return at four clock to dinner, and
it must be punctualy ready for him SO away
she goes to Betty, the cook, whose experience
she half commands and half beseecIes, on the
matter of dinner. Betty is rather proud of the
position she holds as prime minister of a reign-
ing power not over familiar with the mysteries
OF salads and sauces. Betty suggests, her mis-
tress approves, and the whole matter is settled.
She goes to her paror, but it is rather dull there
without Charles-and the wish, just the least bit
IN the world, insinuates itself for a moment into
her heart-tAat it would be great comfort il
there was anybody like Charles there to amuse
her in his absence. She bushes prettily at her
own thoughts, and dismisses them hopefully
She takes up book to read-but she cannot
concentrate her thoughts. The Baconian phi
losophy of the kitchen occupies her entire atten-
ton, and all her literature is in Lambs, Hogg's
and Crabbe's tails of the laider, not of the Ii
brary. Dinner time approaches, and she goes
to dress. Scarcely has she got through, than
there is ring at the door, she knows it
Charles-she had listened for it SO often during
her courtship. Happy meeting dinner is serv-
ed; and of course it was one of the daintiest
ever served at table. Charles declares he never
had such an appetite in his life. She is delight.
ed She has made successfully another step in
housekeeping, and with the highest appreciation
from headquarters. 1t is a pity that this delight
ful representation Of kind thoughts, and bear
and forbear principle, did not last through life

THE YOUNG LADY WHO EXPECTS
TO MARRY RICH.

We never could understand upon what prin-
cple of justice the expectation was founded, BY
which managing mothers and cunning Young
ladies maintained the determination, the one Of
marrying her daughter to some rich an, and
the other of only uniting herself 10 such a one,
when they have nothing on their parts to show
arecprocaton Of the contract. For, with such
people, marriage only amounts to a business con-
tract, or commercial speculation. A Young
man who has property of fifty or sixty thous-
and dollars, can obtain the possession of more
personal beauty at much cheaper rate, and in
all cases where we have seen this determination
on the part of young lady to wed for wealth,
her personal appearance has been all she has had
to offer as the quid pro quo for man and his
fortune. We believe with Sir John Sterling,
'that marriage of convenience is marriage of
dishonor-and marriage for money, at best,
but legal prostitution.
One of the principal causes of the numerous
cases which now occur of marital infidelity, lies
in the fact that there are more marriages Of
convenience and money than there are of affec-
ton. The girl, by false representa- alton of posi-
ilon, rank, &c, who is urged 10 unite herself
TO man whom she only coldly respects, as
means Of contributing to her convenience and
her comfort is not indifferent to the warmer at
fectons of her nature and when even revell-
ing in the luxures her convenient husband
affords her, is not content without she shares
them with lover The fortune of pretty
face is inadequate to supply the comforts Of
life and why girl, with only this unsubstan-
tial wealth, should turn up her pretty nose at
an honest man, who would risk his life to sup
port her in comfort and independence, passes our
conception. There is degree Of mpertincnce
about the expectation that is intolerab.e. Ifa
gri is determined to barter herself for money.
let her walk the streets labelled, so that all
men may know her price I here would be
something honest aad fair in that but for heav-
ems sake, don't nveigie a mans affections until
his value in gold is asccrtained, and then if he
should happen TO fall short of the required
amount, kick him into the street sans ceremony

and she who forgets herself for the smallest
fraction Of this sum, differ only in degree, not
in kind
