ETIMPHl I'm suret welll I wonder
w what it will be next. There's nothing
proper, now, nothing at all. Better get
somebody else to keep the house, think
l can't do it now, it SEEMS I'm only in the
way here; Td'better take the children and
60. @.,.H u 20. tI a.g
What am grumbling sboat HoR' It's
very we'll for you to ask that I'm sure I'd
better DO out of the world-there now, Mr..
Caudle; there you are again. Ishall speak,
sirl 1t isn't often open my mouth, heav-
en- knowsl But you like to hear nobody
talk but yourself You ought to have mari
ried o negro slave, and not any respectable
woman.
You're TO 20 abont the house looking like
thunder all the day, and I'm not to say a
word Where do you think pudding's to
come from everyday You show a pretty
example to your children, you do; complain
ing and turning your nose at sweet piece
of cold mutton because there's no pudding
You go nice way to make 'em extravagant
teach EN- nice lessons to begin the world
with. Do you know what puddiugs cost oil
do you think they fly in at the Window?
You hate cold mutton2 The more shame
for you, Mr. Caudle I'm sure you've the
stomach of a lord, you have No sir;
didn't choose to hash the mutton. It's yer,
eessy sr you to say hash it; but know wha
a joint loses in hashing; It's days Dime
the less, if its bit Yes, dare say; othe
people may have puddings with cold mutton
No doubt oft, and other people becon
bankrupts. But ifever you get into tn,
Gazette, it shan't be my fault--no; I'll d,
my duty as wife to you, Mr. Caudle; yo1
shall never have it to say that it was m
housekeeping that brought you to beggary
No; you may sulk at the cold mcat--ha
hope you'll never live to want such pec'
ofcold mutton as we had to-day. And yo
may threaten to go to o tavern to dine, bu
with urpresent means, not a crumb of pud
ding do you get from me. You shall hav
nothing but the cold joint-nothing as II
a Christian sinner. '
Yes, there you are, throwing those fowl
lin my face again. know you once brougt
home a. pair of;fowls; know it and wereu
