CrRsiiDeSS.-That man must have been in
as bad humor with the world as one ofour
contemporaries appears to be with our busi
ness men, who said that young man who
spends all his earnings to appear genteel a.
mongst the ladies, as the fashion is about
town, ought to consider that the money
which bought that cigar will be needed to.
buy pig when he. and the young lady gets
married; that the buggy hire would be need
ed to buy load Of lumber TO build q house,
that the extra fne-clothing might buy q forty
acre lot of land for home, and that the
money you paid for ball ticket for you and
Miss, would come SO handy to dress
little Alice and SUsy.
And his bosom friend has given this de-
scription of"a good wile:'' a good wife is
one who puts her husband In lt the side of
the bed next TO the wal, ard ticks him mp
to keep him warm in the wiE;es-aPits tae
wood-makes the fire in the mo-HiRg-wash-
es her husbands face, and draws on lis
boots for him-never suffer- rent tore
main in her husbands small rlG-,a5--Acap aps
her shoes up at the heel and h-- stosd7-s
darned--never wonders what her husband .
sees interesting in the young womsn who
lives across the way-never slams the door
when her husband is speaking--and always
reproves the children when they eat up their
fathers supper.
So the world goes. The fauIt-fnder, his
circumstances being changed, becomes the
tyrant.
