fully understand why men should be
tolerated 10 chewing of tobacco, in
smoking, aud IN splitting everywhere
almost and at all times, whereas a
woman cannot do any of these things
without exciting aversion aud disgust.
Why ought man to bo allowed to
drink liquor jill his breath ia offensive
aud his manners vulgar while wo.
man must do nothing which shall be
indecorous iu the eye Of the most fas-
tidious judgment Why should man
be allowed 60 selfindqlgent, putting
bis limbs and person in all manner of
attitudes, however unconth and dis.
tasteful, merely because such vulgari.
ties yield him temporary ease, while a
woman is always required to preserve
an attitude, if not of positive grace. at
least of decency and propriety, from
which if she departs. though but for
moment, she forfets respect and is in.
stantly branded as a low creature2
Can any body say why a man, when
be has the tooth.acbe, or is called to
suffer in any way, should be permitted
as matter of coarse, to groan and

in the style Of an animal not endowed
with reason, while woman similarly

A Husbands Confession.

l never undertook but once to set at
nougLt the authority Of my wife, You
know her way-cool, quiet, but deter.
mined as ever grew. Just after We were
married, and all was going nice and CO.
zy, she got me in the habit Of doing all
the churning She never asked mo to
do it, you know, but then she-wby it
was done just in this way. She finished
breakfast before me one morning, aud
slipping away from the table, she filled
the churn with cream, and set it just
where couldn't help seeing what was
wanted So l took hold regularly Q.
nough and churned till the butter came.
She didn't thank me, but looked so nice
about it, that felt we'll pail Well,
when the next churning day cane along,
she did the same thing, and l followed
suil and fetched the butter. Again and
again it was done just SO, and was reg.
ularly in for it every time. Not word
said. you know, OF course.
Well, by and by, this began to be
rathor irksome. l wanted she should
just ask me, but sho never did, aud l
couldn't say anything about it SO on We
went At last 1 made q resolve that
would not chprn another time, unless she
asked me. Churuiug day came, and
when my breakfast she always got nice
breakfasts-whent that swallowed, there
