MARRIED LlFE.-Good counsel for
o wife and mother: 81 will try to
make myself and all around mo
agreeable. It will not do to leave
man to himself till he comes to you;
to take no pains to attract him, or to
appear before him with long face.
1t is not SO difficult Us you think,
dear child, to behave to husband SO
that he shall remain forever hus-
band. l am an old woman, but you
can still do what you like; q word
from you at the right time will not
tail of its effect; what need have you
to play the suffering virtue? The
tear Of loving girl, says an old
book, is like dew drop ON rose;
but that on the cheek of wife is q
drop of pain to her husband. Try to
appear cheerful and contented, and
your husband will be SC and when
you have madc him happy, you will
become 80 in reality. Nothing
flatters man so much as the happi-
ness Of his wife; he is always proud
of himself rs being the source Of it.
As soon as you are cheerful you viii
be lively and alert, and every mo-
nient will afford you an opportunity
TO let fall an agreeable word. Your
education, which gives you an i'm
mense advantage, will greatly assist
you ana your sensibility will become
the noblest gift that nature has be-
slowed on you, when it shows itself
in affectionate assiduity, and stamps
on every action soft, kind, tender
character, instead of wasting itself
in secret repinings."
