If you arc in trouble or a quandary, tell ,-our wife?thai is, if you have one?all ?bou<. it at once. Ten to one her invenion will solvo your difficulty sooner tlion .11 your 1 >gic. Tiio wit of woman lias >ccn praised, but her instincts are quicker ml keener than Iter reason. Council willi your wife, or your mother or tister in.] be assured light will Hash upon your ikukncss. Women ale too commonly adjudged as verdant in all but purely womanish affairs. No philosophical student of the fex thus u Iges them. Their intuitions, or insights, are the most subtile, and if they cannot ! co a cat ii> tlic meal, there is no cat there. In counseling a.tnan to tell his trouble to his wife, we wortld go farther, ami advise him to keep none of his ?Hairs secret from her. M iny a homo has been happily ravel, ami many a fortune retiieved by man's full confidence in his "better.half." Woman is far moro a seer ami prophet than man, if she be a fair ehoico. As a general rule, wives confilo the minutest of their plans and thoughts to their husband4, having no invulvcxcnls to screen irom them. Why not reciprocate, if but for the pleasure of meeting confidence with confidence? We are certain that no man succeeds so well in the world as lie who, takii.g a part nor for life, makes her the partner of all i.ir purposes and hopes. What is wrong of his impulse or judgment, she will check j and rot right with her almost universally j right instincts. "Helpmeet" was no iuj significant, title, as applied to mm's coini panion. She is a moot help to him jn ev' cry dat knees, difiiouhy, and sorrow of life, ' And w hat .she most craves, aim most tie | servos, is confidence?without which love 8 never free from shadows.
