THE

MOTHER'S ASSISTANT

AND

YOUNG LADY'S FRIEND.

WILLIAM C. BROWN, EDITOR.

'Her house

Was ordered well; her children taught the way

Of life; who, rising up in honor, called

Her blessed. Best pleased to be admired at home,
And hear reflected from her husband's praise

Her own, she sought no gaze of foreign eye:

His praise alone, and faithful love and trust

Reposed, was happiness enough for her.'-POLLOK.

JANUARY, 1850, TO JULY, 1850.
