After having been married some
weeks. ii came into the head of Il Young
husband in this city, one Sunday. when
he had but little to occupy his mind. to
suggest tn his wife that they should
plainly and honestly state the faults
that each had discovered in the other
since they had been man and wife.
After some hesitation the wife agreed
to the proposition. but stipulated that
the rehearsal should he made in all
sincerity and with an honest view to
the lettering of each other. as other
wise it would be of no Use to speak of
the faults to which marriage had open
ed their eyes. The husband WAS of the
same mind, and his wife asked him to
begin with her faults. He was some
what reluctant, but his wife insisted
that he was the first to propose the
matter, and us he was at the head of the
house it WAS his place to take lead. Thus
urged, he began the recital. He said {:

mother always took great pride in her
tinware. and kept it lis bright as a
dollar

Flushing as before. the Young wife
promised /" amend this fault
The husband continued with Il most
Formidable list of similar faults. many

when he declared that he could think
of nothing more that was worthy of men
tiou.
Now. said he. my dear. you begin

The Young housewife sat in silence 4:
