Mrs. Josephine G. Batemsn, Of

thus discusses
aThe causes of this too early de-

commencing in the anxious, over

many of them do all this, and 50
you will. Soon there is another
Child, and then another, and still
you strain every nerve to do AL
The work without help. You have
DO time for reading or for rest;
you forget the future, and do not
ask what will be the end Of all

your Industry, and forgeta that the
time wilfcome, when he lays aside
most Of his active labors, and that
be will want that in you he can

opinions. Women seldom rest. ex.
cept for a few hours at night; yet
they need it, and should take pains
to secure it. It is not wasting

In addition to the Bible, which we
hope no mother will neglect, let
valuable books be read when they
can be; but for those who have as
little time as the housewife, news
papers and magazines must form
the staple reading, as the short
articles and items are well adapted
