THE BEST OF HUSBANDS
From Punch,

This is a very rare animal; but he is'o
be found. The existence OF the unicorn
has been successfully disputed; and that
very handsome and graceful animal, in
stead of being hmnessed to Her Majesry's
state carriage-as assuredIy the species
should be, could eight Of them be procur-
eds merely employed upon herald'c dn-
ty, namely, to support Her Majestys
Arms. But the good hus5and--let all our
virgin readers take hearts, not fabulous.
We cannot, certainly, precisely mark out
his habitat. We do not think the crea-
ture IS to be found at public masquerades,
or billiard rooms. or in solIcd boots dane
ing the Polka at the Casino de Venus, Do
Bacchus, or any other casino OF any other
disrcputable heather deity. The habits,
too. of the Best Of Husbands vary with
the best of wives. Some are best for one
particular virtue--some, for anoiheT-and
some for virtues too numerous 10 specify.
Some Best of Husbands are always buying
bes, of wives new gowns; some best, a.
Gain, are continually taking their better
hes, TO the opera or play; in tact in ten
thousand different modes DO the Best ct
Husbands show Their superiority to the
second hest, and the mddiing, and tho
fine ordinary, and those merely good for
families.
But Mr. Brown, the hes, husband Of tho
best Mrs Brown, did--according to that
excclent--in the most devoted manuer
dispIayed the paramount excellence OF his
martial qualities Mrs Brown herself, on
