FROM THE RICl~l.\IOND' ENQUERER.
.4 letter qfad-uz'ce, writtcnfrazzz afi.t.’ier'zo /1219 only
dayg/iter, imnzrditzlcly a_/'i'er /ier vzarriage.

The following letter is handed tous, “ from
the pen of one of the best,” and; as otrr corres- §
pendent believes in’ his conscience, one of the I
greatest men that Virginia has produced. It is
written in an adrfnirable manner upon‘ a most in-
Eeresting subject.

Mr Di«:it~rt',

You have just entered into that state which
 replete with happiness or misery. The issue
depends upon that’ prudent, amiable, uniform eon-
(lucf, which wisdom and virtue so strongly re-
commend on the one hand, o'r, on that i‘m'p‘rt’t‘-’
dence, which awant ofreilection, or passion may
prompt, on the other. ‘But as there is no wish
nearer to my heart, than that you may ensure all
that happiness, which the union of virtuous per-
sons is capable of bestowing, and as the best
soinetinies err for want of previous reflection up-
on the line of conduct which‘ is invariably to be
pursued, how can I render you a higher service, .
than by presenting you with tliatailvice, which T‘
the warmest affection suggests. My experience,
as well as my solicitude, my fond hope of seeing
you happy and beloved, evetr self-interest for .
your happiness, must now" constitute the princi-
pal source of that of your parents, all urge the
to fulfil a duty, at once pleasing, and I trust most ~
tiscfuf. ‘

You possess a good heart, ands" good under-' «
standing. You are allied to a manof talents, and
ofan open generous disposition. You have there-
fore, in your own power, all the essential ingredi-
ents of domestic happiness. It cannot be mar-
red, if you now 7‘I:flc‘C,5 upon that system of con-
duct,- which you ought invariably to pursue; if
you ifovi see clearly the path from which you
will re‘sol‘ye never to deviate. Our conduct is
often the r‘esrrl‘t' of whim, or caprice, often such
as will give us"a pang unless we see before hand,
what is always‘ the most praiseviorthy, and the
most essential‘ to happiness. I will call your at-'
tention to irfcw priuiary rules of conduct, from

‘ which a virtuous wife, one who has the sense and

goodness to erideavotjto promote rhutiial happi-
ness, and to render the matrimonial state a- feast
of the purest affection, will never depart.

The first maxim, whi‘c'h you sltouldimpress
most deeply on your miritl, isaiever to attempt to

man, he expects from her smiled, not fr_o",'17ns;
he expects to find in her one who rt-. not to,-Vc__on-‘:
trol him, nor to take from him the freedom of
acting as his own judgment shall direct; but one
who will place seine confidence in him, as to be-
lieve that his own prudence is his best guide.—
Little things, which, in reality, are mere trifiesin
themselves, often produce bickerings and even
qrrarrels. Never permit them to be a subject of

Yield them with pleasure, with asmile
of alfectiori. Be assured, that one difl‘erence out-
weighs them all, a thousand, or ten tlfousand

times. A difference, in reality, with your hus-

band, ought to be considered as the greatest ca-
lamity, as one that is to be most studiously guar-
ded against; it is a demon, which must never be
permitted to "enter a habitation, where all should
be peace, unimpaired confidence and heartfelt af-
fection. Besides, what can a woman gain by her
opposition, or her differences? Nothing. But
she loses every thing; she loses her husband’s_
respect for her virtues ; she loses his love, and
with that, all prospect of future happiness. She
creates her own misery, and then utters idle and
silly complaints; but utters them in vain. The
love of her husband can be restrained only by the
high opinion which he entertains of his nife’s
goodness of heart, of her amiable disposition, of
the sweetness of her temper, of her prudence,
and of her devotion to him. l..et nothing, upon
any occasion, ever lessen that opinion. On the
contrary, it should augment every day ; he should
have mtrch more reason to admire her‘ for those

excellent qualities, which will cast a lustre over a

virtuous woman, when her personal attractions

are no more. .

invite company, without informing you of it, or
bring home with him a friend ; whatever may be
your repast, however scanty it may be, however
impossible it may be to add to it, receive them
with a pleasing countenance, adorn your table
with cheerfulness, give to your husband and to
your company a hearty welcome ; it will more
than compensate for every other deficiency ; it
will evince love for your husband, good sense in
yourself, and that politeness of manners, which
acts as the most powerful charm 5 it will give to
the plainest fare a zest superior to all that luxu-
ry can boast. Never be disconted upon any oc-
casion of this nature. If apologies, as silly peo-
ple often think, be necessary, your husband will r.

so indifferent a repast.
In the next place, as your husband's success in

and as the manners of a wife have no little influ-
ence in extending, or lessening the respect and
esteem of others for her husband, you should

ing heart.

respect and love you, wliilst you expect from
them a reasonable discharge of their respective
duties. Never teaze yourself and them by scold-
ing; it has no other effect than to’ render them
discontented and impertinent. Adnionish them
with a calm firmness, and if that mode will not
produce the desired effect let them be moderate-
ly‘ punished.

Cultivate your mind by the perusal of those
books, which instruct, whilst they amuse. Do
not devote too much of your time to novels.——
There are few‘, which may be useful in impro-
ving and giting a higher tone to our moral sen-
sibility ; but, in general, they tend to vitiate the

lectual food. Most plays are of the same case ;
they are not friendly to that delicacy, which is
oneof the ornaments of the female character.——
History, geography, poetr'y,_moralessays, biog-
raphy, travels, sermons, and other well written
religious‘ productions, will not fail to enlarge your
understanding, to render you a more agreeable
companion, and to exalt your virtue. A woman,
devoid of rational ideas of religion, h_as‘no secti-

whose voice, and not that of her God, is her on-
ly governing principle. _ Besides, in those‘ hours,
of calamity, to which families must be exposed .

just reflections upon that all ruling Providence,
which governs the universe, whether animate
or inanimate 3

Mutioal politeness between the most inti-
mate friends, is essential to that harmony, which
should never be once broken, or interrnpted.—
How important then is it between man and wife?
The‘ more warm the attachment, the less will ei-
ther party bear to be s-lighted, or treated wit.-'li the
smallest degree of rrideness or inattention-=. This
politeness, then; if it be not itself a virtue, is at
least, the means of giving to real goodness a new
lustre ; it is the means of preventing (liseontents
and even quarrels ; it is the oil of intercourse ;
it removes asperities, and gives to every thing a
smooth, an even and a pleasing movement.

I will only add, that matrimonial liappiness
‘does‘~n‘ot depend upon" wealth ; no, it is not to be
found in wealth, but in minds properly'tempe_r'ed
snd suited to our‘ respective situations. Compe-
tency is necessary, all beyond that is ideal. Do

his profession will depend upon his popularity, ,

with l-egliect to your servants, teach them to ‘

tmilk, and which otherwise would be delicious,

and stimulate, if requisite, your husband to 
ment his property by a llionest and commendable
means. _ I would wish to see him actively enga-
ged in siiizh a pursuit; because, engageinent, a
sedulous employment in obtaining some laudable
end, is essential to happiness. ‘ In the attainment

increasing estimation in which he is held by
those around him. Such men always iirdicate
~cheerfulness, a fine flow of spirits, and con e-
quently afforil {lie best proof of their happiness ;
w lrilc the indolent, or those n he spend more tliaii,
they make, are as universally gloomy, disconten-
ted and peevish. . .

In the management of your domestic concerns,
let prudence and wise economy always prevail.
Let neatness, order, judgment, be seen in all your
different departments. Unite liberality with ajust
frugality ; always reserve something for the hand
of charity, and never let your door be closed to
the voice ofsuffering liumanityi ' Your servants,
in particular, will have the strongest claim upon‘
your charity--let them be well fed, well clothed,
nursed in sickness, and never unjustly treated.

Icotrld as easily" write a volume upon this in-

lei'esti_o_g subject, as the short letter you now re.-
'ceive.'--Butl am pirrsuaded, it is of more im-
portance to lead you “ to reflect in time, upon
the essential means of securing matrimonial hap-
piness,” than to enter into a more minute detail.
\Vithout such reflections, _vou would expect an
effect, when the sufficient cause was removed --
In short there are two or three ways of gaining
wisdom. If we are to be taught by our own ex-
perience, the cost is too often immense. If by
the experience of all those who have gone before
us, the cost to us is nothing; if we set out ill‘lg‘lil,
and the path we have entered upon, will every day
become more pleasing. '

That you may enjoy mutual happiness is the
fervent prayer of your affectionate father.

rancid, nauseous flavour, which is too often prev-
alent in cheese, even when made of the richest

salt the milk as soon as taken from the cows. I
mean the evening’s milk, which is kept in pans
during the night, in order to be mixed with the
new morning’s milk. The quantity of salt used
on this occasion, is about a table spoonful to each
gallon of milk, and is generally sprinkled on the
bottom of the pan, andthe milk poured upon the
salt, and they soon become incorp'o_rated. This
early suiting has enabled many dairy women,
whose cheese was always before hoven, and de-
testably rancid, now to produce excellent, well
flavoured cheese, and on farms that had been pro-
nounced totally unfit for the dairy system. To
this small portion of salt, various good effects are
attributed by those who use it; they say, it pre-
vents the milk from souring in the hottest nights ;
that it encourages coagulation, and very much
promotes the separation‘ of the curd from the
whey, which is a great saving. Ali dairy wo-
men ought also to ltriotv, that it is a false -idea,
and a loss instead of a gain to the proprietor, to
rob cheese of a single particle of butter; and fo-r
these two reasons, because a pintfof cream will
produce more than treble the quantity 617 ctird,
that a‘ pint of skim mille will give ; and because
a cheese with all the butter left in it, will lose very
little of its weight by keeping; whereas that from
which the butter has been taken, will lose one
-third of its original weight-'.
