INFLuENcE OLE woMEN

The United States Gazette gives this
pleasant illustration of the influence oil
women:
You remember the account of the con.
test between the attendants of King as to
the gredfeSt-whetlcr il was wine, the
King, woman, or truth The King, who
was known TO be little under pct,icoat
government, and, Of course, was unwilling
to confess it, decided that truth was the
greatest. Had truth been the creates,
with him, he would have confessed its in.
fluence by giving the palm to woman
Improvements in social life, and the inhu-
ence Of religion, have settled the contro-
eersy. We now give vino to the King,
and the truth to woman, and then every
honest man will be ready to confess that
woman is The greatest"
