Excerpt from A Few Hints for Home Happiness and Comfort: Addressed Chiefly to Village Girls on Their Leaving School Do every thing at its proper time. Put every thing in its proper place. Keep every thing to its proper use. MY desire in thus speaking to you, my young friends, is to render you happy; and remember we cannot be completely happy ourselves, unless we are desirous to render those around us happy also. Men's duties carry them forth into the world, to toil either with their hands or their heads for the support of those whom they love. It is the happy privilege of women to render Home a comfort and a blessing, a rest and a refreshment, to those hearts worn and wearied with the world's hard cares, and to warm them with the sunshine of true affection.
