COOPERATION OF THE WIFE.-No
married man ever prospered in the
world without the co-operatioB of his
wife. If she unites in mutual endeav-
ors, or rewards his iabors with an en-
dearing smile, with what confidence
will he resort to his daily toll, meet
difficulty and encounter danger, if he
knows that he is not spending his
strength in vain, but that his labor will
be rewarded by the sweets of home !!
Solioitude and disappointment enter
the history of every mans life; and he
is only half provided for the voyage
who finds but an associate for happy
hours, while for his months of dark
ness and distress no sympathizing part
ner is prepared.
