To be happy is certainly duty
we owe to ourselves, and to be
cheerful is debt we owe to our fel-

by many of US Is in thinking that
pleasure is found in some of the
,ndulgencies and exercises of our
appetites. A true pleasure can
never be followed by pain or
sorrow as a result. 1t cannot lead
to decay or weakness. The sources
of pleasure are innumerable, but
each one leads the soul higher a d

life and sweetness, and Is found
most often by those who seek for
other things. 1t is nearly always
a result of something done not tor

ana you know Gn6 QaugnCer'S song
! by heart, than in a club, hotel, or
pit Of a theatre. ALI amusements
of youth to which virtuous women
are not admitted, rely on it, are
deleterious in their nature. All
men who avoid female society have
dull perceptions, and are stupid, or
have gross tastes and revolt against
what is pure. Your club swagger-
ers, who are sucking billiard cues
all night, call female society insipid.
Poetry is uninspiring to a yokel;
beauty has no charms for a blind
man; music does not please a poor
beast who does not know one tune
from another; but as true epicure
is hardly ever tired of water, sauce
and brown bread and butter, we
protest we can sit for a long even
ing talking to a kindly woman
about her girl Jane and her boy
Frank, and enjoy the evenings en-
tertainment. One of the great
benefits man may derive from
woman,s society is that he is bound
to be respectful to her. The habit
is of great good, depend upon it.
Our education makes us the most
eminently selfish men in the world.
We fight for ourselves, we yawn
for ourselves, we light our pipe and
say we won't go out--we prefer
ourselves and our ease; and the
greatest benefit that comes to a
man from woman's society is
that he has to think of somebody to
whom he is bound to be constantly
attentive and respectful.
A muddy stream, flowing into
one clear and sparkling, for time
rolls along by itself a little fur
ther down they unite and the whole
is impure. So youth, untouched
by sin, may for short time keep
it's purity in foul company, but a
little later and they mingle.
We are afraid that our domestic
life in this country will not bear
looking into. We fear that our
houses will not be found to have
unity, and to express the best
thought. The household, the call
ing, the friendships of the citizen
are not homogeneous. His house
ought to show us his honest opin-
ion of what his well-beginning con-
sists in when he rests among his
kindred, and forgets all affection,
all complaints, and even all exer-
ton of will. He brings home
thither whatever commodities and
ornaments have for years allured
his pursuit, and his character must
soon be in them. But what idea
predominates in our houses? Thrift
first, then convenience and pleasure.
Take off the roofs from street to
street, and we shall seldom find the
temple Of any higher god than pru-
dence. The progress of domestic
living has been in cleanliness, in
ventilation, in health, in decorum,
in countless means and arts of COM
fort, in the concentration of all the
nullities of every cline in each
house. They are arranged for low
benefits. The houses of the rich
are confectioners' shops, where we
get sweetmeats and wine; the
houses of the poor are limitations of
these to the extent of their ability.
With these ends. housekeeping is
not beautiful; it cheers and raises
neither the husband, the wife nor
the child; neither the host, nor the
guest; it oppresses women. A
