A NAGGING WIFE.
A FACT,
A speaker was holding forth on woma» and he made out that she was just a little angel on earth. In glowing words he gicturedhow patient she was in suffering, ow courageous in trouble, and how altogether gentle, loving, and good she was under all circumstances, and closed his fieroratiou by declaring that any man who aid bis band on a woman, save in the not of kindness, was a monster. After the lecture, a pale, haggard, woe-begone looking man shuffled up to the speaker end said, " Look here, mister, I've heard what you've been saying about woman; all about how nice and sweet she is, why, one wouldimaginethat you believed all women were just blushing full blown roses; I guess you don't know my wife, "Well she hainc no blooming rose, She's a daisy, a reg'lar daisy; why, mister, my wife is a nagger, and there hain't an hoar, when she's awake, but what she's nagging someone. If it ain't mc, it's the children; if it hain't the children, it's the cat. There is nothing that escapes her nagging tongue, and the only time any of us gets any rest ts when she has nagged herself to sleep." How like the nerves of a man who drinks; they just nagg, nagg all the time, flying no rest until enough liquor haa een taken to deaden all nervous sensibility, and the poor fellow goes off in that sodden, snoring, miserable state that is bat the rattling skeleton of a healthy sleep. R. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No. 1 puts an end to all this nagging of the nerves by destroying all desire for liquor. R. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No. 2 is the best Brain and Nerve Tonic on this earth.
