 When house boasts of both master and mistress each should leave to the other theEap. pointed work, and both qualify themselves rightly to fulfill the same. abstaining as much E as possible from mutual interference. A man who can trust his wife, or his housekeeper should no more meddle with her concerns than she should poster him with questions about his business No doubt countless occasions will arise whenshe will be thankful and glad to take q counsel with her worldly cares; while she may hayeto remember all her life long, and never think of without gush of gratitude and love, some season of sickness or afaiction, whenlhe3 filled his own place and hers too, ashamed of no woman's task, and neither irritated or hu- \ inflated by even such, mean household cares. ?, t4aaA lady of my acquaintance gives it as her ssskss qua men of domestic felicity, that the men
 of the family should always be absent at least six hours in the day. And truly a mistress of 6 family, however strong her affection for the ts male members of 1t, cannot but acknowledge .4 that this isa great boon. A house where papa
 or the boys are always pottering about, popping
 in and out at all hours, everlastingly wanting
 something. or finding fault with something else,
 is considerable t-;al so vven feminine patience. And beg to ask my sex generallY-in conR- adence of course--if it is not the greatest com
 fort possible when, the masculine half of the
 family being cleared out for the day, the house
 -sseles down into regular work and orderly qui-
 etness until evening"?
 Also, it is good for them as we'll as for us,
 to have all the inevitable petty domestic both.

 mistress of family. Let them, if possible, re- turn to asquiet, smiling home, with all it's small v anncyances brushed away like the dust and cinders from the grate-which en passant is
 one of the first requisits to make fireside look
 comfortable. It might be as we'll, too, if the
 master himself could contrive to leave the worldly mud the day at the scraper outside
 his door however, as these chapters do not,
 presume to lecture the lords of creation, I have
 aothing more to say on that score
