HOW TO RULE A TARTAR WrRx.

We may first premise that you must be s,
perfectly cool, and not in the slightest de-.
gree british, or you will aignally fail in
your object. .ga+ .,
When your young wife is in the tantrums,
do not pretend to take the slightest notice
of the fit but begin to whistle or sing (the
former is the besD some slow pathetic air;
and if she speak to you, not AT you, answer
her at once cndearingly. This alone will
in most cases succeed after two or three
trials but Should this not do, then take'to
your hat and go gently out, but mind, do
not come in to the next meal. Dine prtea
out, and then return; should your wife be-
gin again, try whistle the 2nd, and if this
won't do, 60 out again to the next meal
Now mind you do not 60 to any friend':
house, for many obvious reasons; one o.
them is, to avoid arousing any jealous fee!
ings-in fact we could give you forty reason.
why you should 60 to an eating house fof::ii

full, at the proper time go to bed silentiys
and Immediately pretend to be asleep. At

and gently with your wife; that is, if slle

yet heard of was fairly vanquished. by her
husband in four days, and yet she was ter
rible, and he was mild even to fault.
We will now conclude, Mr.. Husband,
with few words of advice to yourself You
cannot possibly subdue your wife if you
lose either your temper or, your genleness s,
but with them and firnness there is no chance
of failing. Having donc this, all will:thenS i
