ORIGIN OF THE GREY MARE BEING THE
BETTER HORSE.
The following article is from an old Philadelphia
Magazine, published thirty years ago:
/ had lately the pleasure of passing a very agreea
ble evening in a mixed company of both sexes, whets
the cenversation happening to turn upon the propriety
of that power which men initially arrogate to them
selves of Titling over their wives with despotic sway.
a young lady of wit and humor, then present, replied
"it tomitt„possible be so sometimes, but much oftener
tldt va, mare being Az better horse!" and very o.
bligtagly entertained the company with the following
acpeunt,of the rise of that proverbial saying, which
is made use of when a woman governs hoe husband.
A gentleman uf a certain county in England having
married a young lady of considerable fortune, and
with many other charm., yet finding, in a very short
time that she was of a high domineering spirit, and
always contending to he mistress of him and his fam
ily, he was resolved to pert with her. Accorditigly
he +went to her father and ha told him he found his
daughter of such a temper, end he was so heartily ti
red of her, that if he would take her home again, he
would return every penny of her fortune.
The old gentleman having inquired into the cause of
his complaint, asked him "why he should he inure dis
quieted at it than any other married man, since it was
it common cane with them all, and consequently no
morethaa he ought to have. expected when he entered
into the marriage state?" The young gentleman de
sired to be excused, if he said ke was so far from giving
his assent to this assertion that he thought himself
more unhappy then any other men, as his wife had a
spirit no way to be quelled. and as most certainly no
roan who had a sense of right and wrung, could ever
sub nit to be govern , d by his wife.
"Son," said the old man. "you are but little ac
quainted with the world, if you do not know that all
women govern their husbands, though not all, indeed,
method. However, to end all disputes
between us. pet what I hay, said on this proof,
if you are willing tO trria.
I bave five horses in my stable;, you shall harness
these to a cart. in which I shall put a hastkeacontaining
one hundred eggs; and if, in passing through the coun
try, and making a strict inquiry into the truth and false
hood of my assertion, and leaving a horse at thehouse
of every matt who is master of his family, and an egg
where the wife governs• you will find your eggs gone
before your horses, I hope you will then think your
own case nut uncommon, but will he consented to go
home and honk upon your own wife as no worse than
coot neighbors. If on the other hand your horses are
gone first, I will take my daughter hack again, and you
shall keep her Girtune.
This pmpo4al was too advantageous to be rejec
ted; our young married man therefore set out with
peat eagerness to get rid, as he thought, of his horses
and hit wife.
.U.ilfse first house he came to. ho heard a woman,
with shrill cod angry voice, call to her husband to
got() the door. Here he left an egg, you may tic sure,
without making further inquiry; at the next, he mat
with something of the same kind; and at every house,
in short, until his eggs were almost gone, when he ar
rived at the seat of a gentleman of family and figure in
the country. Ho knocked at the door, and inquired
for the master of the house, was told by the servant
that his master was not yet stirring, but if lea pleased
•to walk in, his lady was in the parlor. The :ady,
with great nomplaisance, desired him to seat himself.
and said Hills business was very urgent she would
ucake her husband to Jet him know it, but bad rather
,toot disturb him.
"Why, really madam," said he, "my business is on
ay ask a question,. which you can solve as well 113 your
busbanst al you will only be ingenuous with me. You
will doubtless think it odd, and it may be deemed im
.polltas for arty one, much more a stringer, to ask such
a qoestion; but as a very considerable wager depends
.open i t, an d i t may b e some advantage to yourself to
sivaare the truth to me. J hope these considerations
will plead ray eacasn. It is, madam. to desire to ho
isiformod whetheryoa guvrra your husband or he rules
,over you?"
"Indeed. sir," replied the lady, "this question is
rather odd, but, as I think no one should be ashamed
of doing their duty, I shall make no scruple to say that
have always been proud to obey my husband in all
Aiiiogat but if a woman's own word is to be suspected
o such a case, let him answer for me, for here he
comes."
The gentleman at that moment entered the Worn,
and, after 401116 analogies, being made acquainted
with the business. confirmed every word his obedient
wife hid reported ie her own favor open which he
wes inviterito choose wltich horse in the 48.11.12 he liked
beat, and to accept it as a present.
A black gelding stru‹k the , gentlemao most; but the
lady desired he would choose the grey mare. which she
!bought would be very fit for her sidesaddle; her hus
band gave substantial reasons why the black hur , e
would be the most useful to them; but madam still
persisted in her claim to the grey mare?
“What!" she exclaimed. "and will you not rake her
(bee But I say you shall; for lam saes the grey
mare is are better horse."
"Well my dear" replied the husband, "if it must be
"You most sake an egg," replied the gentleman
narter, "and I must take all my horses back again,
and I mast endeavor to lire happy with my wife."
