DELINEATCR.

Aad i size rules him neper seems to rule
IN my whole pilgrimage tnougn IEe,
which has been a Journey considerably long,
I never have met with couple who drew
together in the conuubial yoke more harmo.
nlouslv, than my intimate friend EPhralm
Meekly and Susan his wife. Eph.aIm, tho
a pattern of good nature, is, notwithstanding
remarkably tenacious of his rights, and va
lues himself particularly on his being mas
ter in his own house. Susan, on the other
hand, though woman OF uncommon stur-
diness of disposition, always mindsito humor
him in his whim and in nothing under the
sun does she seem to glory SO much, as IN
obedience to her husband.
Indeed she has told me herself, ever and
over again and in his hearing, that tor whole
years together she had done nothing OF ina
nortance without asking his advice; from
which she had never sweryed IN single IN
stance. This fully believe, partly because
he always either nodded his assent, or ex
nrcsscd it in words and partly rom num-
b,r of instances OF ready acquirscence on
: her side, which have fallen under Ey own
observation.
Being a close inmate Of the family have
seen with admiration, how nicely this deli
J cate point is managed between them. The
Gift of advice, it is well known, is generally
of all gifts the worst received even those
who ask it. seldom follow it. Blu, no! so is
it here. Advice Is given, received, and tot.
| lowed, with utmost cordially.
Would you know, courteous reader, how
this is done! l will tell you. Ephraim is
an anatomist of the human heart as repects
his wife. He has studied her deeply, and
knows her well; anG this knowledge he
makes use Of to an excellent purpose. = My

He, on his part, attentively reads her eyes
her whole countenance, and marks the tones
of her voice; and is seldom at loss, as to
her real inclination, or how to shape bis
