A Test of Love.

In past ages the Russians were very
much distinguished as wife-beaters, and
Purchase went so far as to say that "lfin
Muscovy the women are not beaten once
a week they will not be good. therefore
they look for it weekly; and the women
say il their husbaQds did not beat them,
they should not love them" This seems
incredible, but singulariy enough, Mrs.
Atkinson. in one Of the most recent
works on Russia, says: A nursemaid
of mine left me to be married. A short
time after, she went to the Natshalisk OF
the place to make complaint against her
husband. lie inquired into the matter.
when she coolly told him her husband did
not love her. He asked her how she
knew he did not love her Because
she replied, he never whips me-" Shc

husband, of those little attentions custo.
