How A WoMAS KKEps A SEcREr.-It is
an old qup upon women that they cannot keep
a secret but the fact is, they are the only
part of humanity who can. \ wife keeps her
husbands secrets much better than he keeps
hers. We calculate there is one drunken wife
to about four hundred and ninety-nine drunken
husbands In gambling, icentiousness, lying,
cheating, hypocrisy, covetousness, there is
pretty much the same proportion Yet ofthe
four hundred and ninety-nino wives four hun
dred conceal, cover up, silently endure the
terrible secret; while one husband mourns
over the frailty Of his wife in the study of his
pastor, and to the ear of his friend, and prob
ably complains Of it to a court of law. 1t is
the same between brother and sister. The
secrets woman talks about are of the kind
that are unimportant, and mostly agreeable to
hear That is our observation and in our re-
lations Of physician, minister, and unordained
lawyer, we have had room for great deal Of
observation
