How to Increase Property.

lt is seldom advisable for women who have a sufficient income to attempt its increase by exchanges or investing it in business. But there are many whose Incomes are inadequate, and Who are under the necessity of increasing their incomes or . leaning on their friends. Supposing a woman iu these circumstances fe of an indapendeilt spirit, and resolves not to depend on the assistance of friends, my first suggestion to her would be to resolve that, coma what may, her nresent property shall hot l>e dhninished. And if to what she has she can, by eels-denial, and earnest effort, add something fromjUthe to time, the tide will at length turn in her favor. She may hear it whispered, “Molly Stark has taken up teaching, has become a governess, is copying law papers—quite a tumble.” Well, Mollie Stark fe not beholden to such, nor ever will be. Saving and laying up is the habit that succeeds. It seems to be in the blood of some families of both sexes alike to be independent Cost what it may of present self-denial, they will set the ball rolling that will grow into a round comfietence. How much better and happier is such a life in the long run than a life of supineness and semi-depend-ence -• A resolute woman is pretty sure to find one way or anotlier to do that which will lie remunerative, and her prospects for working out her pecuniary salvation are better than those of the average man in the same circumstances. Of course, her success all depends on losing no time and saving and laying up her earnings.
