Nicodemus of Hoboken," gives. in 2
New York paper, the following advice to
wives. Read and remember:
A husband ought to be considered as 4
morse, with the marriage bit in his mouth,
hence the word bridal or brtAe. IF the
wife hold the ribbons judiciously, he is
easily driven about, even in the most dan
gerous parts of Broadway, such as Gen
ms, Stcwart's, De Forests and Tay
lor's. The whole science consists in yonr
belng able to manage your animal. I
mean husband, so skilfuIly, that after
driving him about New York CONSTANT,

accomplished wife should be able TO as

Never waste your smiles upon your b1s-
band; let him earn them; arms (allnsl
giving is bad, it discourages industry:
what we get for nothing, we despise.
When a husband is generous, dispense
your smiles upon him but be careful not

have known wife who screamed herself
into set of rosewood furniture, and
languished so, day by day, that at last,
when dying. she found herself in Fifth
Avenue palace, which had SO beneficial
an influence upon.a galloping consump-

dying and live for twenty years to come.
One word more, dear wives. and have
done. Above all things, avoid that last
French fashion," OF coup detats-thev are
dangerous in politics; fatal in marriage.
You may indulge in one before wedlock-
by-the-way, there is no club to pick that
lock, except chubby boy-but these
=" strokes of StaSe," as Lord Palmerston
says, are not exactly fitted for the United
States OF Marriage. Marriage is the rca'
spirit of the Ring, and when we say d.

Of which, like Casper in der Frei-

al things, dear wives, let me warn yea
against letting your husbands heve their
own way, even though only once--that
once may be fatal. Tigers, when they
have once tasted human blood, crave after
it incessantly, and are ten times fiercer
than before. can assure you, INV dear
wives, that tiger is not half so ray, nous

woman who makes that suicidal adnIis-

wives-now you may 60 and tease your
husbands.
