HOW TO COOK A HUSBAND.
The firgt thing to be done is to catch him. Having done so, the mode of cooking him so as to make a good dish is as follows : Many good husbands are spoiled in cooking. Some women keep them constantly in hot water, while others freeze them with codjugal coldness; some smother them with hatred and contention, and still others keep them in pickle all their lives. These women always serve them up with tongue sauce. Now, it is not supposed that husbands will be tender and good if treated in this way, but they are, on the contrary, very delicious when managed as follows : Get a large jar, called the jar of carefulness (which all good housewives have on hand), place your husband in it and set him near the fire of conjugal love; let the fire bo pretty hot, especially let it be clear, above all let the heat be constant; cover him over with affection and subjection ; garnish him with the spice of pleasantry, and if you add kisses and other confections, let them be accompanied with a sufficient portion of secresy, mixed with prudence aDd moderation.
