men of the jury, this is the very man
who sometime ago treated our beloved
Washington SO barbarously. Yes, til
is the wretch, who dared, in this YER,
Courthouse yard, 10 lift up his impiou
hand against that greatest and bet o
men, and knocked him down, as though
be had been but a bullock of the stall
This, roared out in laundering tone
and with tremendous stamp on the
floor, made Payne look very wild, fol
he saw the countenances Of the court
beginning to blacken on him. Bu
Washington arose Immediately and ad
dressed the Bench.
" As to Mr.. Payne's character, may
it please your worships, said be, we all
have the satisfaction to know that it is
perfectly xceptionabc and with re-
Ispcct to the little difference which for
merly happened between that gentleman
and myself, it was instantly made up,
and we have lived on the best terms ever
since and besides, | could wish all my
acqualntauces to know, that | entirely
acquit Mr.. Payne of blame in that affair
and take 1t upon myself as the aggressor.
Mr.. Payne used often to relate anoth-
er anccdote of Washington, which re.
fleets equal honor on the goodness of bis
heart.
" Immediately after the war, said he
when the conquering hero was returned
IN peace to his home. with the laurels
OF victory green and nourishing on his
head, | felt a strong desire to see bim,
ana so set out for Mount Vernon. As
l drew near the house, began to ex-
perlence rising fear, lest he should call
to mind the blow gave him IN former
days. However, anmatiug myself, II
pushed on. Washington met me at the
door, with a smiling welcome, and pres
entity led me into an adjoining room
where Mrs. Washington sat Here,
ny dear, said he, presenting me to his
ady, here is the little man, you have so
,tten heard me talk of, and who, on
Inference between us one day, had the
'csolution to knock me down, big as |
I'm | know you will honor him as he
deserves, for | assure you he has the
leart of a true Virginian He said
his, continued Mr.. Payne, with an air
hat convinced me that his long famili-
rity with war, had not robbed him of a
inglc spark of the goodness and noble
less Of his heart; and Mrs Washington
ooked at him, thought with something
n her eyes which showed that he ap-
'eared to her, greater and lovelier than
,ver.

Two WAYS To MANAGE HUSBANDS
Few things are more common in domes
tic life than for the husband and wife to
strive for the mastership, and thus hu-
man beings, who ought to assist each
other, and dwell together in affection :;
frequently pass life of discord in rem
ing each other unhappy. The husband
who is not greatly Influenced by a pru-
dent and affectionate helpmate is un-
worthy of her and the wife who so far
forgets herself as to try to rule her hus-
band will not increase her happiness by
usurping his authority The husband,
when he is aware that his wife has more
prudence, judgment and talent than him
self, does well to avail himself of them
leaving to her the management of affairs
requiring the exercise of these qualities.
1t is Il purely selfish motive that actuates
either husband or wife to rule each 9TH
er; and yet this motive, unworthy as it
is, exerts its baneful influence in ten
thousand times ten thousand hearts.
Mr.. Conner was a well meaning man,
of very little energy of character, and
was completely under the control of his
wife. Mrs. Conner was continually
boasting that no man should rule her,
that she took care to let her husband see
that she had spirit aud that she could
make him do what she liked at any time.
Poor Mr.. Conner submitted to this thral-
dom very patiently, rather than contend
with her, as she got into SO dreadful a
passion that she actually terrified him
half out of his senses, and he trembled
like one in an aguc to secure his own
peace, he consented to her ruling him

of their wedding. Mary was introduced

soon learned to esteem her as she dcserv-
