TIE POOR HUSBANDS.


In America this terribly degenerated
reverence for women, which might be call
ed more truly pampering and spelling, is
naturally felt most by the husbands, who
have entered upon life long slavery. If
a lovely American girl sinks into the arms
of man, to be bound to him for life, she
does so much in the same way as she
throws herself into her easy chair. Mar
rage is her pillow, her sofa, on which she
intends henceforth to repose. Upon it
she confidently throws all the burden of
her cares and troubles she regards the
husband as her factotum, who has to pro-
vide for all her wants. He must procure
her house according to her fancy, he
must furnish this house exactly as she
wishes it, he must arrange and administer
kitchen and cellar, and even go every
morning before breakfast to make the nee
essary purchases for the days meals. Ev-
en- in Washington you may at times see
Senators, statesmen renowned in the world
and influential in the papers, hurrying to
market at an early hour, with basket on
their arm, and carrying home salad, pas
try, green peas, strawberries, or other veg
etable produce.
Even farmers wives often hold them
selves too high for business of this sort,
and scenes of the following nature may be
seen at market: A young farmers wife I
once saw sitting in little one horse chaise
and holding the rcins. In her elegant
dress she could not, of course, be expected
to go into the dust and confusion of the
market, so she had sent off her husband.
He was busy among the stalls, like a swal-
low collecting insects for its young. and
presently appeared again, laden with all
sorts Of boxes and parcels. These the
farmers wife, naturally could not take in
her silk lap, so the husband had to hold
them carefully in the chaise,
The author says in conclusion:
I have mainly kept in sight the upper
strata of society, which, however, sink
very deep as will have been seen, in Amer
lea. I need hardly add that in this great
land. though It's extremely uniform, there
are many shades of chara ,ter among rich
and poor, in towns and in the country, in
to which I cannot enter SO fully as I could
wish. There are entire districts-as, fol
instance, in the smaller towns of New
England-where the female population
although somewhat infected with the gen
eral tint, is most respectable, pious anc
domesticated. Moreover, this pamperin9
of the women, which have criticised, ha,
It's good side, as fer instance, this: tha
American men, who display SO little innate
reverence for old age, or for talent, or fol
other things elsewhere highly esteemed
have in their wives at least something they
venerate, and which, under given circum
stances, may hold them in check.

LADIES IN PUBLIC,

The Americans, comparing themselves
with other nations, are very proud Of the
fact that ladies hold SO high a position
among them. But to obtain this repu.a-
tion and praise for their country is often
attended by unpleasant consequences. TIE
ladies tyrranize over the whole land, and
interfere IN everything. They can in no
way be escaped, and a man can scarcely
ever dispense with their protection. Ey-
erywhere they take the first and best pIa-
ees for themselves and their protcgcs. That
they should play the prominent part in So
cial circles, and parade like birds of para
disc by the side of their husbands, whom
they cast into the shade, is only natural,
and they cannot be blamed for it. but they
extend their influence far beyond their nat-
ural and domestic circle
Unluckily, they are very curious, and
hence fond Of being present at the sittings
of tie scientific, geological, and historical
societies, where they do themselves no
good, and merely tend to render the dis
cussions Of the societies shallow, and dis
tract the earnestnegs Of their labors. In
the public popular lectures, which are SO
admired in all the cities Of America, the
ladies almost entirely set the fashion. A
lecturer who disPleases them is ruined
man, even though he be backed up by an
army Of men ; if, on the other hand, a
handsome, smart lecturer, full of anecdote,
gain their favor, he can make his fortune
with a few courses. For what the fashion
able ladies' Of one place have heard those
of another also wish to hear, and such a
lecturer receives invitations from the re-
mote towns,
