Mr Cyril Maude made something of a hit as an "after-dinner” speaker at a wedding breakfast in Melbourne, at which he was asked, to respond to the toast of the bridesmaids. The creator of "Grumpy” said: "They have a saying in Afghanistan to the effect that the next best thing to no wife is a good wife. Tho Senegalese declare that there are only two good women in the world—one js dead and the other can’t be found. Tbe Persians have a saying, 'Good men marry young, wise men never.’ The Japanese hold that if a man lose his bride and a yen, he’ll regret the yen. (A yen is the tenth-part of a halfpenny.) But more comforting, far more comforting than these _ proverbs is the wise saying of Don Quixote, that there’s only one good woman in all, the world, and every husband ought to think that his wife is she.” PALMERSTON NORTH NOTES.
