replied in the following strain:
Because, Adam never came whining
TO Eve with ragged stocking to be
darned, collar string to be sewed on, or
glove to mend fright away, quick
now" Because he never read tho
newspaper until the sun got down
behind the palm trees, and he stretching
out, yswned out, "Ain't supper most
ready. my dear?" Not he. He made
tho fire and hung the kettle over it him
self, wen venture; and pulled the rad
ishes, peeled the potatoes, and did every
thing else he ought 10 do. He MIXED
the cows, fed the chickens, and looked
after the pigs himself and he never
brought home half a dozen friends to
dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh POM
egranates and the mango season was
over. He never stayed out until eleven
O'Clock to q ward meeting, hurrahing
for an out and out candidate, and then
scolding because poor Eve was sitting
up and crying inside the gates. He
never played billiards. rolled ten pins,
and drove fast horses, nor choked Eve
with cigar smoke. He never loafed
around corner groceries while Eve was
rocking little Gains cradle at home.-
In short, he didn't think she was espec-
tally created for the purpose of waiting
on him, and wasn't under the impress
sion that it disgraced man to tighten
a wife's cares little. That's the rea-
son that Eve did not need a hired girl,
and with it was the reason that her fair
descendants did. "
