getting a living. You never know when your work is done. Think of carrying eight or nine children through the measles, chicken-pox, rash, mumps, and scarlet fever, some of them twice over. It makes my head ache to think of it. Oh! you may scrimp and save, and twist aud turn, and dig and delve, and economise and die; and your husband will marry again, and take what you have saved to dress his second wife with; and she'll take your portrait for a fire-board! "But what's the use of talking? I'll warrant every one of you'll try it the first chance you get; for, somehow, there's a sort of bewitchment about it. I wish one-half the world were not fools, and the other half idiots."
