There is nothing which goes SO far to-
wards placing people beyond the reach Of
poverty, as economy in the arrangements of
their domestic affairs. tits as much i'm
possible to get across the Atlantic, with
half dozen butts started, or as many bolt
holes in the bottom, as TO conduct the con-
Germs Of family without economy. 1t
matters nor whether man furnish little OF
much for his family, il there is a continual
leakage in the parlor, it runs away, he
knows not how, and that demon, Waste,
cries more, like the horse leech's daughter
until he that provides has no more 10 give.
tits the husbands duty to bring into the
house, and it is the duty Of the wife TO see
that nothing goes wrongly out Of il. not
the least article, however unlmportant In
itself; for it establishesa precedent; not un-
der any pretence, for it opens the door for
ruin to stalk in. A man gets wife to
look after his own affairs, and assist him in
his journey through life. The husbands
interest should be the wife's care, aud her
great ambition carry her no farther than his
welfare and happiness, together with that
of her children. This should be sole
aim, and the theatre Of exploits in the bo-
som of her family, where she may do as
much towards making fortune as he posi-
bly, can do in the counting-room or work
shop. 1t is not money earned that makes
man wealthy; it is what is saved from his
earnings. A good and prudent husband
makes deposite ,of the fruits Of his labour
with his best lrieEd-and if that friend be
not true to him, what has he to hope; if he
does not place confidence in the friend Of
his bosom, where is he to placeit. A wife
acts not for herself only, but she is the
agent Of many she loves, and she is bound
to act for their good, and not for her own
gratifcation. Her husbands good is the
end at which she should aim-his appro-
baton is her reward. Self qualification in
dress, or indulgence in appetite, or more
company than his purse can well entertain
are equally pernicious. The first adds van
ry to extravagance--the aecond fastens a
DOCTORS bill to long butchers account and
the latter brings intemperance, the worst
Of all evils in its train.
