THE BEST Os WIVES.
■A TAIE.
A man once had a vicious wife :
i A most uncouimmon tiling in life)
His days and nights were spent
in strife
U licencing.
Her tongue went glibly all day
long,
Sweet contradiction still her song,
And all the poor mail did was
wrong,
And ill done.
A truce without doors, or within,
From speeches long as statesmen
spin,
Or rest from her eternal din,
He found not. :
He every soothing art display’d; J
Tried of what stuff her skin was I
made ;
Failing in all,to heaven he pray’d
To take her. i
Once walking by a. river’s side.
In mournful terms “ My dear,” j
lie cried,
“No more let feuds our peace ;
divide,
“ I’ll end them, i
,e Weary of life, & quite resign’d j
“ To drown 1 have made up my
mind,
“ So tie my hands ay fast behind
“ As can be.
41 Or nature mar assert her reign,
f‘ My arms assist, my will re* j
strain,
“ And swimming, I once more !
regain
c .’ My troubles.’ 5
With eager haste the dame com
plies.
While joy stands glis ’ning in her
eves,
• 7 #
Already m her thoughts be dies 1
Before her. I
Yet, when I view the rolling i
tide,
‘1 Nature revolts,” he said, “ be- ‘
side, j
*• I would not he a suicide.
And die thus: j
“It would be better far I j
think,
“ While close I stand upon the j
brink
“ You push me in—nay never j
think,U
vt'iii 44 But do it.” i
To give the blow the more ef
feet,
Some twenty yards she ran di
rect,
And did what she could least ex
pect
She should do. ‘
He slips aside, himself to save,
So souse she dashes in the wave, i
And gave what ne’er before she
,;ave
Much pleasure.
<£ Dear husband help! I sink!”
she cried;
44 Thou best of wives!” tile man
replied,
“ I would—but vow my hands
have tied,
“ God help ye.”
THE STOLEN PIG.
A per lon ol re fpefct ability,
though of a narrow mind, liv
ed in a village where the inhab
itants vied with each other to
contribute to his plcaiure ; e
ven when any of them killed a
fat pig, they never failed to
lend fome choice part for his
acceptance. At lad he thought
proper to kill one too, and on
this occasion gave a Unking
proof of his parsimonious Ipi
rir. On the ariival of the
butcher he immediately open
ed his mind to him, by obierv
tng, “ My good neighbours
have so frequently pteleritcd
me with a (hare ol their fat
pig', when they killed, that J
comider myfetf bound as it
were to return the favor; and
I am at a loss how to avoid
it.” After a panic of a lew
moments, “ Oh,” laid he
“now I have it; 111 (ay uiv
pig is Itolen.” “ Aye, do f >,”
replied (Tic butcher, £s it is an
excellent notion.” This was
agreed to. The pig was
brought forth, killed, & hung
up in the kitchen, there tore
main til! the next morning, in
order to he cut up. The
hutchci having informed him -
felf of the difpolition of his
employer, ar.d thinking he
might play his part in concert
with his friends, repaired in the
night to Gripeall’s kitchen, and
bore off the prize. In (he
morning, he repairs to the
lioufe to (inifit his vvoik, and,
as heexpedled, meets the own
er of the pig in a moft violent
rage at his loss.—” Heyday,
what is the matter ?” feid the
j butcher. “ I have loft my nig;
j fome villain has Helen the fine
| animal; what fitall I do?”
! “ ’1 hat’s right,” said the butch
; er, placing his finger to his
; nole, and ailuming an arch
look “ That’s right, you’ll do ;
I egad you do it well.” “ But it
| is really Ifolen,” said the man.
! “ Stick to that,” said the butch
| er, and you’ll do. I really
| never saw a man all his part
i so nicely as you ; I’ll be bound
for it, there is not a per (on in
ihe village who will not believe
you to be in earned.”
