A COOP WIrE.-An exchange can always tell
what sort of woman man marrics by the way
he treats the printer. If he gets common wife
he forgets the printer altogether. If he gets a
tolerable good wife, he will send in the notice of
bis marriage. If he gets a very good one, he
will send the printer a slice of cake accompany
ing the notice. If he gets an extra good one he
will send grcenback with the notice. If he gets
glorious, angelic creature, all smiles and aftec-
tion and goodness, he is sure to send the printer
gold or silver dollar with the notice of his hap
piness. No good wife will allow her husband to
owe for his paper, and if the worse-half does not
attend to these things it is a clear of decep
tion, because a man who wont pay for his paper
will deceive his wife, and we have our opinion of
such.
