KEEPING HOUSE
AND
HOUSE KEEPING.

A STORY OF DOMESTIC LIFE.

EDITED BY
MRS. SARAH J. HALE.

“We'll little care what others do, And where they go, and what they say; Our bliss, all inward and our own, Would only tarnish'd be by being shown: The talking, restless world shall see, Spite of the world, we'll happy be.” Mrs. Barbauld.
