An Afec,iona,e Hu.band.

A husband accompanied his wife to con-
fession. The lady having opened her griefs,
the father who was striving her insisted on
administering a severe penitential sco'lrg-
ing. The husband, hearing the first stroke
inflicted on his better half interfered,
and urged that his wife was delicate, and
that, as he and she were one flesh, it would
be better for him, as the stronger vessel,
to receive the scourging intended for his
helpmate. The coniessor having CONSENT
ed to this substitution, the man knelt in his
wife's place, while she retired from the
confessional. Whack! whack! went the
cat. followed by a moan from the good
mans lips.
"Harder! harder! calculated the wife;
Il am a grievous sinner!"
Whack whack whack!
"Lay it on % cried she; II am the worst
of sinners!" E
Whack! whack! and howl from the
sufferer.
7u Never mind his cries, father!' exclaim-
ed she; remember only my sins. Make
him smart here, that may escape in pur-
gatory."
