Mr.. EDITOR,
II IS very common for you young
unmarried gentry, who see an angel in
very pretty face, and And an heaven in
every female smile, TO take part with
wives III all the. domcstic braws which
happen in yourneig hbourhood. Though
this may DC considered evidence of the
generosity Of your sentiments, ii is no
proot that YOU arc always in the right.
1t Is not proper for any man TO decide
positively on Subjects where he Is des-
:rtute of experience.
When you have once tasted Of the hv-
mencal cup, you will find that, as it Is
not All gold that glitte<s, 50 every fc-
male Is not kind, loving and gentle, who
meets the eye as such. &" Favour is de-
ccitiul;" SO are appearances. Frowns
cloud, and pOuting spells many a beau
tiful face. Lips which apparently breathe
nothing but the melliAuous sweets Of
love, sometimes pour forth 4 torrent Of
abuse, which might exhaust the patience
OF Socrates. You will find that hus-
bands must bear and forbear much, and.
that if their patience is at last exhaust
3D. they often deserve credit FOR their
long forbcaranGe.

look about themselves. All domestic,
subordination must soon be annihilated.-
Indeed, apprehend that if our wives
should take a FREAK or fancy to have es-
corts alamode de France, we would have
to indulge them, or the &C youngsters Of
the place" would be offended, and take .
cognizance of the matter. I have no r
notion of such state of things and
while l retain a portion of my ancient
priviieges, | take the liberty of entering
my protest against it.
AN HUSBAND
Monday evening, Oct. 18th.
P. S. have this moment been fright
ened almost out of my wits. Just as
concluded the above, heard LOUD
noise in the street near my house, and
the words g The rail! the rail! get the
rail - were several times repeated. In
my first alarm supposed that my wife
had peeped over my shoulder, discover
ed what was writing, and informed the
youngSters, who had gathered, deter
mined to horse me. However, when
my fright little subsidized, / discovered
that they were sbesieging one of my
neighbours, whowas suspected If being
inattentive to the ab0stohc inj,mction."-
Though, poor man, l believe that in
truth one Captain Whisky, an inmate
OF the house, is chiefly to blame, and de-
serves richly, not only to be Aorsed, bur
tarred and fcathered into the bargain.

There is another text of scripture, or

assured it would have wonderful ten

Why, sir, without order and subordi-

laws both of God and man, the husband
IS made the headsof the family and his
wife, like other men.als, is required to
be in subsection to him. How could he
expect to preserve order among other
inferior domestics, ii he permitted his
wife to set an example ofdisobc dience,
and defy his authority2 Yet, sir, this
