Mr.. Davis read a paper as fol-
lows
Gentlemen The subject for our
last meeting was how to make our
wives happy, and ii was SO very in
tereeting to me that / shink If rot
trespassing too much upon your
time, ] win make q few remarks
upon the subject. My opinion is,
let our wives have more recreation
from home cares. Too much home
pleasure, as some men term it, 10
like hsving altogether Spring, and
"spring would be but gloomy wealth
or, if we had nothing else but
SPRING" We meh have a vast lot
OF business to attend to from home.
Suppose We let our wives attend to
some Of the simplest. / am sure
1t would give them more outdoor
exercise and it would be Of great
benefit to their health and perhaps
proiong their lives for many years.
What is the true canse of 80 many
sunken checks and so many early
grsvcs filed If not from oyertaxing
woman's DELEGATE frame BY work
and worry from morn till night
and sometime all night with q rest
less baby or some sick one Of her
family.
Why, our best doctors recon-
mend pleasant rides for invalids.
Who is more Of an invalid than
poor woman, when her cares never
cease until she is laid away in her
grave Gentlemen have SO much
business to attend to it gives them
lots OF recreation. The wife sees
her husband mount his horse and
ride away. She asks where to-day,
and ne always answers. sgoing on
business p Oh, that vast noun
tain of business ! Why not let
poor oare-worn woman transact a
husband should die, which they
little Of it, and learn how If the
sometimes do, and leave her in her
babyhood so far IS business is con-
cernod. Some wives in such a
case would not be able to pay their
taxes for the want Of little expe-
rience. | have known wives when
their husbands died TO be entirely
bankrupt because their husbands
kept them in ignorance Of their A.
nancial affairs. II they had known
more about business they would
have been more on their guard.
Let the men also take notes about
the house. That will DO Q great
relief TO our wives, and it viii also
be help to them when they 20 ont
to see neighbor, and return to find
so many things ont of order, then
they have to run themselves out of
breath 10 get the necessary things
