In my last I presented you with a brief exposition of a part of the 31st chapter ot the book ‘of Proverbs. From which may be seen the unspeakable happiness resulting trom domestic industry j hore particularly that part which comes under the management of the wife and mistress of the family. Surely ifthere beany thing on earth that resembles the felicity enjoyed by our first parents in Paradise, before the fall, it is to be found in such a family. But. perhaps, some may alledge, description is all ideal—the effus fervid imagination—a fine fanciul’ ture, which never was, nor will be reali- zed, ¢ Who can find such a virtuous preventit.

Were it so we would certainly have no reason to complain of herd times, nor need we regard the tariff, nor protecting duties. I think that if the husbands do their part, there is no doubt but the wives wiil perform theirs, There are no doubt some indolent, and some wasteful wives in our land ; but for ong extravagant, idle wife, there ‘are two such huashands.
