HINTS TO SCOLDING WIVES
“ And I dare say you have scolded your wife very often, Newman,’’ said I, once. Old Newman looked down, and his wife took up tie reply:—“Never to signify—and if he has, I deserved it.” “ And I dare say, if the (.ruth was told,3 r ou have scolded him quite as often.” “ Nay,” said the old woman, ■ with a beauty of kindness which the world cannot excel, “ how can a wife scoid her good man who has been working for her and h ! r little ones all the day ? It may be a min is peevish at times, for it is be who boars the crosses of the world ; but who s muld make him forget them but his own wife ! And she ba l best for her own sake ; for nobody can scold much when the scoklis all on one side ” —Bulwcr.
