Woman's Wit.

A WOMAN'S advice is generally worth having; so if you are in trouble, tell your mother or your wife or your sister all about it. Be assured that light will at once flash upon darkness. Women are commonly judged inexperienced in all but pure womanish affairs. No philosophical student of the sex thus judges them. Their intuitions or insights are the most subtle, and if they cannot see a cat in the meal there is no cat there. I advise a man to keep none of his affairs from his wife. Many homes have been saved and many fortunes retrieved by men having full confidence in their wives. As a general rule, the wives confide the minutest of their plans to their husbands. Why not reciprocate? The men who succeed best in life are those who make confidants of their wives.—Sel.
