Still less can We admire the spirit Of that
man who, himself possessing the physical
power to redress wrongs done him. shall Al
low the interference of u woman OF his fam
ilY in matters, which If necessary to be SET
tied in such a manner. should be done by
himself. No doubt the provocation was
gross enough-but We regret for the sake OF
the lady that such a course has been pursued.
Our remarks are intended 10 contain no Of
fence. aud We refrain from pursuing them
further.
snt at the same time. we need not assure
the editor Of the Ss5raSaian that we do not
envy his feelings. Can it be pleasant re-
fsc,:on 10 him, 10 know that his abuse has
been so gross and so unsparing that even the
weaker sex-always patient and long suffer-
ins-are moved to Indignation, aud seek re-
taIistioa by such methodist If, in the inner
most recssses of his heart, there turks grain
of honest shame, let this reflection bring 1t
forth and give ii air.
