A DANBURY WOMAN.

A hot-tempered Danbury woman, who finds considerable trouble in persuading her husband to furnish kindlings, and then is obliged to do it herself, read in a religious paper, Monday, of how a wife induced a wicked husband to become one of the most affectionate and hopeful of men, by being invariably calm and loving with him. The story made a deep impression upon her, and when she made the fire that noon she tied a handkerchief across her nose, and went on with her work. When the husband reached the gate he paused, fetched a sniff that made a hole in the atmosphere, and ihen went to the back of the house and fetched a sniff that had an equally damaging effect on the atmosphere : he stared into the next yard and up at his own house, and felt in his pockets, and was about to go around the front again, when his wife thrust her head out of the window, and said, “Why don’t you come in the house, you old fool ? Come in and get your dinner, and let me read an article to you from the f Christian Secretary.’ Come in and see how nice it is to get dinner with nothing to burn but rubbers, you whited sepulchre Come in here, I tell you, before I lose my temper and say what I oughtn’t to.” At this invitation he went in, going upon the stoop and to the door, very slowly, but, upon opening the door, disappeared inside with marvellous suddenness. The neighbors say he was cutting wood all that afternoon, and thinking of the religious press.
