How MEN sHoCLD TREAT woMEN.-A
Persian poet gives the following insruc-
ti1n upon this important subject:
'When thou art married, seek to
please thy wife; but listen not to all
she says. From mans right side rib
was taken to form the woman, and ne
yer was there seen rib quite straight.
And wouldst thou straighten it? 1t
breaks, but bends not. Since, then,

per, forgive her faults, and blame her
not; nor let her anger thee, nor coer-
cicn use, rs all is vain to straighten
what is curved."
