AN INTERESTING HUSBAND.

One of the go-a-head ladies of this pro-
crossing age thus writes of her husband to
the Boston Olive Branch. 1t does seem to
be a pity that such woman should have
been caught in the same net with such man
AS this lady describes her husband to be--but
such accidents do happen occasionally. We
should like to have Solomon's opinion Of his
wife:
Mr.. EDITOR If you could only see my
husband Solomon Stilweather! 1t is my
firm conviction he will be the death of me.
| am naturally happy, bright, energetic,
warm-hearted, chain-lightning, impulsve wo-
man born after the stages were exploded,
and in the days Of railroads and steam engines.
I've the most capacioais heart that ever
thumped against silken bodices; can hate like
Lueifer, and loec IN proportion, and BE- ever
nally grateful to one who is so kind to me-
Now Solomon is calm. Nothing ruffles him,
or disturbs him. Mount Vesuvius couldn't
make him hurry; he does everything both
mercantile and matrimonial by rule, square
and compass. When the proper time arrives, it
comes off, and it don't fraction of second
before. Were the house on fire, he would
stop to take the lint off his coat, and brush
his teeth before starting If | ask him a
question at breakfast, never get an answer
till after tea; he walks around the house with
a noiseless, velvety tread, like supernatural
pussy cat Should the children in their play,
knock over the tea table and its contents, he
looks quietly up from his book and says
"Aint you rather rude children!"

sat upon the grass smoking cigar, it occur
red to me whether anything short of an earth
quake would start him up, so placed long
string of crackers directly behind him, and
touched 'em off, and as Pm living woman
he never so much as winked. You should see
him getting ready for church, Sunday, as he
pairs his finger nails, lays every hair on his
head over its appropriate bump, sprinkles
drop of cologne on the northwest corner of
his handkerchief, and ties the bow of that
cravat for the fortieth time. | never saw
Solomon excited; never heard him laugh;
he don't know the luxury of tears. Now if
l could only get up domestic squabble!
(thunder could clear the atmosphere, you
know,) but its no use. Eve tried to stir him
on politics, but he's on the fence, had as lief
Jump one way us the other, and is quite
Indifferent as to gluten. I've put on sulks
and been distant and dignifed; tell you he
likes it; besides you couldn't freeze him
colder than he is; I've been loving, and pet
ting him. it's waste of ammunition, he can't
be thawed out Its my solemn belief that he
was originally intended for an old maid, but
by some horrid mistake-he's my husband.

ners jury sits eD,me won't tho verdict be u,
