decide upon any subject without- expe
rience. In this he is right; and I do not
speak hut from woful and lamentable
expel itnee. I am a widow’, sir, ami hut -
ing u tasted the hymeneal cup,’* know
something about the matter, and can
judge about the propriety of women be
ing in subjection to their husbands.—
This iMr. Paul, who enjoins wives to
be in subjectic n to their husbands, was,
v.e all know, an old Batchelor, and
tli ere loro could not be master of the
subject. Women would be in a prettv
condition, it ♦hey were to be ruled Lv
lite whims ana opinions of oU Batchr
iot.t. his same Paul recommends all
single persons to remain in a state of
celibacy, like himself j but as a matter
of special indulgence, allows all who
burn to many. If lie had not been an
old dried-up ignoramus, he would have
known that there was nobodv, but such
.animals as himself, w iio did not at times
burn to be married, and c>i course would
come w ithin the pale of his exceptions.
ji is noi iair co cite ene opinions ot tins
old chybonesjto prove that women ought
to he in subjection to tlu ir husbands ;
an l in behalf of the sex, like Mr. 111 s
jiand, l beg leave to enter my protest
against it. J say, sir, that no woman
ought to be ia subjection to In i hus
band ; neither can an husband have any
right to resort to a cudgel in any case of
“ domestic brav, Is.” It is coy, a'rdlv and
ungentlcmanly, lot a man to strike a wo
man. Man ] •; reatet . t; n
of bodily strength than a woman ; and
jh» person of courage would use a cud
gel against a person weaker thin him
ticli. If woman, who is the weakest,
diould sometimes use a cudgel, it would
be quite another matter.
i»ut domestic disturbances would be
lessened, if wiws would at all times e
in subjection to their husbands. No
doubt. Is wive would passit elv submit
to be fondled upon and kicked in the
sr,,iv- moment,—:o be caressed and re
vil.d in the s< me breath, and made the
nt re drudges of man’s whims and j as
fc»or.s—.11 things would go on s no >th
enough. No husband could, in anv con
tcience, find la lit with a w ife \\ ho sub
mitted to be k u;kv d, cuffed, and «pit up
i u, at his pleasure ,—who never com
plained, but r ci iv< d love, contempt, or
neglect, with equal complaisance. I
liope, however, that the women ol
Wlv ling have no taste fc i such a life,
and that th< y will teach d ii h iaha:i .s
i etter tiun^- i oi my; elf, though the
bloom upon my clu*ek to fade—
though the do vs of my widowhood have
alreatlv been most vexatiously prolong
ed ; vet I would rather be consumed,
like a phoenix, in rav own fires, than
marrv anv man under conditions so de
C l ading to a woman of spirit. The mar
ch d woman, who is not mistress of her
own time, and sole judge of her owti
conduct, i. no better than a slave, li a
wife must not express her indignation,
w hen slighted or ill used by her husband,
hut must bear in silence with every
thing,—uncomfortable as mv situation
is, I would prefer remaining as I am.
