that once in the dark ages, a young man was,
brought before authorities, charged with hav.
ing married several wives. When called
upon for his defence, he said :-"It 10 true,
most learned judges, that have married sew.
eral women, but Judge for yourselves wbeth
er my object in SO doing was not praise

buys an article for good and it turns out to
be bad, to reject it. Now. found that the
first wife married was illtempered, the Sec
ond lazy, the third false, and so forth. All 1
want is to get good one, and then shall
be satisfied" The bench, after short con.
sultation decreed, that as it would be impos.
sible for the defendant TO findia perfect wife ex

diately put to dcath, to enable him to look
for one. How many indignant feminine re /.
