the . toast ! Well, there it is. Why
couldn't you be polite enough to say p/ease to
pass?"
Well, please, then. tlow exaeting you are.
I should have said please, but I was in a Vurry,
and I am now, and have no time to waste in
quarreling. We ought to be able to eat our
meals in peace, at least."

but you said 'pass the toast ?" ip such a Omni.:
neering Manner, that it hurt toy feel logs. 1
suppose you don't think a woroao 49,4 any feel

to have a happy day of it. But you seem de
termined to wear me out, by these petty little
quarrels. They upset me for business, I tell
you. I'm sensitive, and I can't bear every
thing.
"Nor I. Now what harm was there ix my
saying you ought to say please y And yet
just because I said you ought to say it, you
continue to get into a passion and lay all the
blame to me. I declare'! You don't koitow
how to treat a woman."
"You used to say I was very polite."
"You are altered since you got me."
"Ny friends don't say so."
"Your friends don't see you at home.
g Apd they don't see you at home. You, are
all smiles to everybody hut me. But I can't
look, or speak, or do anything, without you find
fault, as if it was a horrible burden to do the
duties of a wife; and as if a husband had no
rights, and shouldn't speak in his own defence.
busband is no better thaw a wife, and I
have as much right to speak in qv owu, defenqc
as you have."
"Don't I treat you as an equal ?"
"No."
"In what ?"
"You always ask me where I'm going s idhen
I F.) o out anywhere. I never ask you.'
"Because you know. You know that lam
going to my business. I can't stay at linme all
the time. It is a man's place to be nut of
'doors; and a woman's place to be in mat of
the time."
"I ant in most of the time. And when I
dare to stir out, you alwaykask me lime I'm
going." •
"It is a fair question, the natural interest a
man takes in his wife."
"Natural interest. Pooh ! You act as if
you suspected me." •
"That is all in your imagination. I ask,
because in the first place a husband has a right
to know where his wife goes, and besidea, he
knows more abOut the world, and might advise
her in matters which make the world talk about
indiscretion, and all that sort of thing."
"Pshavr! Indiscretion. You are an old
maid of a man I Do you think lam such a fool
that I can't keep out of fire? You men think
you know everything."
"We don't. We know that generally we
know only what you have a mind to let us
know. The rest we must find out.
"That is a base insinuation."
"I didn't intend it as ono. I mean that
women are more, artful than men. But men
have more judgment, to a general thing.--
What does, Milton say, in Paradise Lost-?",
"Hang Milton He says lots of thiags that
cannot understand." ,
4iAnd a good many that I can understand ;
and this is one of them. I came to it , the
other day, and I thought of you. It just
suited you, and I knew that, you would sneer
at it.
"What is it? What does Milton say about
me ?"
"He says this about women. After Eve has
had a family row with Adam, owing -to her hav
ing eaten the forbidden fruit, listeqed
.to the
serpent, and kicked up the devil with all man
kind—if I must say so—flve says to Adam :
• "Hadst thou been firm and fixed in thy dissent,
Neither had I transgressed, nor thou with me."
And Adam makes this prophecy in reply :
Thus it shall Wall
Hire, who to worth in woman overtrustino. b ,
o
Lets her will rule; restraint she will nbrook,
And, left to herself, if evil thence ensup, •
She first his weak indulgence will accuse."
"'leis weak indulgence!' I do ucit think
you have ever shown any weak indulgence to
me. Apt lam determined to have in rights.
Milton was nothing but an old poet, and poets
are all crazy.
"Milton, Alnaira, was .a man who had a good
deal of experience, in matrimonial matters—he
married three wives; and wrote some very
handsome treatise upon the subject of divorce.
"A man who would marry three wives must
have been a beast.
"He must be very daring. He was a good
man, gifted and very handsome; and yet his
first wife ran away, from him, for a time.
"I suppose he was an old bully. Three
times married ! That is a man. •
"Some Women have had seven husbands, let
me tell ypu. And as, to Milton's marrying
more than once, I don't think he would have
done it, if he had not become blind.",
"Nothing, could ever make me take angiber
husband, blind or ne Wind,' J app satisfied
with one."
"Ha, ha!"
"He, he, he !"
"Come, jet Oa goike IT, Alpo* you, Ictiow

"I don't know anything. Don't hug me so.'
'There. Good morning. Back at noon."

"Here I am, wifey. I got along first-rate
to-day, which wouldn't have been the case if
we had kept up our quarrel. How much bet
ter it is not to be fighting with each other. It
does no good."
"Of course it. Bat you talk as if I was
the cause of thequarraing. lam nat fund of
it, any more than you are."
"Well, if we.both hate it, let us avoid it.—
Our interests are one. If every wife, now-a
days, would live by the, old laws, instead of
listening to the new-fangled doctrines of sap
headed reformers as, they call them,setves,
there would be less discontent and breaking-up
of families. Of all the crazy fools ttot ever
cussed and bored the world, woman's-rights
idiots are the most intolerable and mischief
making.
"NVotnetth 4on't think so, =true women don't.
" True woxuen do think uo. But malignant
gossips and Tenemous snakes in the grass don't,
and make f,t their business to go about, telling
wives, who are happy enough, that they are
abused and miserable, till they believe it, and
fret themselves till they become so. As that
confounded Mrs. Harpy did, who made the
troutde with us last fall."
"You were.jealous of her because she made
so mueh of me—and so hated her, for being
my company in lonesome hours."
"I hated her for her imprudent looks and
teachiugs. She set you a bad exaukple; full
of artifice and sly whisperings. There was a
cold-blooded, devilish • expression in her dull
ayster-looking eye, and I found her eye didn't
belle her. It was the only part of her that
was true. Oh, how I detest that unnatural,
slab-sided, uncouth, self-sufficient, tuuseuline,
ignoramus Gipsy of a wmuen !"
"There's no love lost hetween you."
"There you are. pefenclin g her !'A
"I don't see what harm she did. She was
fund of Me, and wanted me to stick up for my
rights—which I'm determined to 49—mark
that now, Alanzo—which I'm determined to
do."
"Why ! what an abused creature you are, to
be sure. If I wish for company, I don't think
my taste would permit me to choose such a
hobgoblin as that for society."
"Anything is better than a scolding husband.
A cell, or a slave-galley. I'd rather live in a
wilderness than with you. 'We don't ander
stand each other, and we never can agree."
"Not while there are any Mrs. Ilarpys about,
to put you off the track of • dyty, and tail you
that all men are either tyrants or nincompoops,
and all women either angels cT slaves. If you
read good books, instead of listening to. evil
minded women, Alaiira, you'd find yourself
better of"
"I don't nood to read books to find out what
rn7 rights aro."
"There you go again. What rights ! You
are always talking about rights, rights, rights,
but never think of the wrongs you do me every
day, by teasing me into a fury. Really I be
lieve that wouten aro degenerated since Eve;
fqr although she was the mother of all mis
chief, if we qv to believe God's word, even
.
she was not so i heartless as to keep up a per
petual war with her husbac i d. She never left
her husband."
"She didn't have her choice. She was ob
liged to go with him."
"I have a higher opinicm of her, 1 agree
wicif you Lou."
l'You had better agree with your wife."
"Milton puts these affecting words into the
mouth of T i ve, as she was leaving Paradise
with . Adam. She was at least repentant and
affectionate
But now leati nn;
In me is no delay, with thee to gel
