The man of this tlescription is a self-sufficient self-sufficient creature, who evidently believes be-lieves that creation was instituted for his benefit. He is a little surprised and a good deal annoyed that things were not arranged more to his liking, but he tolerates the arrangement, not because he approves of It, but because he cannot, can-not, help it. The wife of this man is a woman whom no old maid would envy. And no old maid should ever marry this man whe n his first wife is worn out and laid in the grave; if she does she will t eg; t it to her latest day that . is, unit ss she has backbone enough to put the man where) he belongs and keep him there. And it is never pleasant to any true-hearted woman to feel that sho lias to master her husband in (order (or-der o live comfortably with him. The man who never praises his wife will find fault with everything on every possible occasion. It is the easiest thlnd In the world to find fault easier than! the nroverbial sliding down hill. It gets to be a habit with some men, and i hey are hardly conscious when they are exercising it. Wh r cannot a man show his wife that 1 e appreciates her efforts to please him? Why cannot he praise the pudding pud-ding f his wife as well as the pudding oMhu? neighbor, Mrs. Jones? Why cannot can-not 'ht- speak kindly of her mince plo, and c mritably of her sponge cake? Why- annot he say that the bonnet is beeorip ing to the face of the woman wh- lyitves him?, Kind words made his t-ife Hnpnv, and no decent man ought to wit lhold them.
