this way but little opportunity wi
be afforded for idle or ipiuriou
conversation and none for the Gu

to love each other we'll enough {
J suppress an unkind thought befor
it is embodied; and love is Xix
leaven, it will spread beyond tn
limits of our Order.
Among farmers there is much
independence, but little wealth
Every woman finds it necessary t.
contribute by her own exertions &c
the support of the family. These
meetings enable each to profit by
the experience of others, SO as to
increase the income derived from
the garden, poultry yard and dairy.
Io this meagre list, the recent i'm
provement in bee culture enable us
to add the apiary, since a woman
may find it pleasant and profitable
to gather honey from the stores
provided by her busy little friends,
and lessons of patience and perse.
vereance from their persistent in
dustry. From such sources as these
We may supply many of those little
wants so pressing to those who feel
them, yet SO trivial in the estimation
OF others as to be forgotten or neg
lected. We may, also, without let
ting the icft hand know what the
right hand doeth,' respond to the
demands made upon our benevo-
lent feelings.
But profit is -ot all the business
OF life, and in our occupations we
may find reasonable share of
pleasure. The little arts EMPLOYED
