NEW METHOD WITH HUSBANDS.
A story is told of a recent ease in New York in which Mr James Cheetham accused his wifo of cruelty. He was an old and feeble man, and the lady but middle-aged, He complained of her pouring ico-water and vinegar down bis back, and boxing his eais. Mrs Cheetham admitted these impeachments with a Unlit heart and much freedom of manner. "Your honor," she said to the judgo, "I don't know how to fight, but I can everlastingly lay hold of a man and squeeze him so that he can't give me a black eye. My husband accused me of saying au revoir to Mr Lake, which lie said meant, 'Good-bye sweetheart till next we meet,' which I couldn't find in the dictionary. . , I did very gently pour six glasses of iced water down his back, and one tumbler of vinegar, to preserve him for future reference. , . He said I had gone to'a pbnio with ayoung man, which I denied. Tasked him to take it back (apologise), which he refused. 1 thou proceeded to box his ears. I asked him again, and he said,' lam sorry my jewel, butit is the truth.' I boxed his ears again. I gave him a third chance, and he stuck to it. Then I did box him,"
