And so she did. "A little management

Wilkins followed up with such a
hearty acquiescenee that the point was
carried under scarcely an appearance OF
objection. Difficulties were, of course,
suggested; but these were ofsuch slender
Importance that they were waived almost
as soon as presented. Two days after
wards I had the satisfaction Of seeing
them off. AS I shook hands with them
at parting, / could see in the couuten-
ance, Of. Mrs. Wilkins, some reviving
traces of her old girlish beauty and q
reminding in her eye of the light Of

"And,. like the body, it must have
the alterations Of shade and sunshine,
fresh air and exercise. It must have
change and recreation, as well as sea-
sons of labor. Without these, mental
health is impossible and, without mem
tai health, there can be no true bodily
health. - aes'ee '5ets a'' IS 4's'ss - bNi'
Husbands, I fear, are not thoughtful
enough about their wives in this par
ticular. I am very certain if every
toiling housekeeper, and worn down,
mother, whose pale face is
hardly ever seen beyond the portals Of
her own door, were forced abroad occa-
slonaliy into the social world, if they
would not 60 willingly, and taken year
ly to the sea side for a few weeks, that
and thousands Of wives and
mothers who are now sickly, nervous
and unhappy, would be in the enjoyment
of good health and cheerful spirits,
giving light to their homes and happi-
ness tosthe hearts Of their husbands. =,
Try Che prescription, ye men with
sickly, toiling, exhausted wives, whose
pale faces haunt your homes like ghosts
Of former blessings Pity them wisely,
and hold them back, while you, may,
from the low resting places, under the
green turf towards which they are de-
with rapid feet. -,
