A good housewife is one of the first
blessings in the economy of life. Men
nut great value upon the housewife
Qualifications Of their partners after
marriage, however little they may weigh
with them before; and there is nothing
which tends more to mar the felicities of
married life than recklessness or want of

duties which belong to her station. Men
admire beauty, and order, and system, in
everything, and men admire good fare.
Fthese are found in their dwellings, and
are seasoned with good nature and good
,ense men win see their chief enjoyment
il home-they will love their homes and
their partners, and strive to reciprocate
the kind offices of duty and affection.

daughters, will not fail to instruct them

daughters that appreciate the value of the
qualifications, will not fail to acquire
them -.
