A MODEL WIFE.
Zachary Hodesou was not naturally
an iil-4rmpered trout. It wee want of
reflection, more then a corrupt and un-
generous heart, that led blah to oolieidor
his wife in the light of su inferior being
and to treat her more like a slave than
an equal. If he met with anything
abroad to ruffle hie temper, his wife
war sinre to eufi'er when he came home.
Hie tarsals werealways ill•000ked; and
whatever the poor wantaa did to please
blur was sure to have a contrary effect.
She bore his ill -humor in silence for a.
long time ; but finding it to increase,
she a:lopted a method of reproving hilt
for bis unreasonable conduct, whittle

Well knew that whether she bailed it,
or fried it, or made it into eb stew, her
hue Land would soold her when he owe
home. But elle resolved to please him
for once, if possible, and therefore
cooked portions of it in several different
ways. She also, with some little diffi-
culty, precured an amphibious animal
from a brook at the back of the house,
and put it into the pot. In due time
her husband came home --some covered
dishes were planed on the table; and
with a frowning, fault-finding look, the
inondy man commenced the conversa-
tion.
"Well, Sally, did you get the fish I
bought ?"
"Yes, my dear."
'et should like to know how ynu have
crisoked it --I will bet anything that you
have spoiled it for my eating. (Taking
Off the cover) I thought se. Why in
the name of common sense, did you

"Why, my dear, I thought yon Iiked

"You dtd not think any such thing.

Ash —why didn't you boil it ?"
"My dear, the last time we had fresh

ien epicure rejoice, but which, alas 1
only added to the ill -nature of her 111.18
band.
"A pretty dish this ! boiled fish ?
Chips and porridge 2 If you had not
been the moat silly of woman -kind you
would have made it into a stew."
His patient wife, with a smile, int-
thediately placed a tureen before him,
dontaiuing an excellent stew.
'•My dear," said she, "I have resol-
lied to please. you. . There is your fav"
rite dish.'' • t
"Favorite dish, indeed, grumbled the.
piscontented husband ; ""1 daresay it is

expressed, uncovered a large' dish ` at

a bull -frog, of portentous dimensions,.
And pugnacious aspect, stretolisd out

"My dear," said his wife, in 'a kind,
entreating tone, "I hope ,you will .at.

Z&Chary could not stanid this- His

then acknowledged that wife was
