PREFACE.
THERE are very few young housekeepers who may not profit, in a degree, by the experience of those who have already met some of the trials to which their new position naturally subjects them. For such, the pictures of domestic life here presented, drawn in the colours of truth by fancy's pencil, may have more than a passing interest. While some of them excite a smile, others will afford subjects for serious thought; and all may be read, the author thinks, without involving a waste of time,—an error into which he would be sorry to lead any one, either young or old.
This makes the sixth volume in our "Library for the Household." The seventh will be called "Lessons in Life."
