A NAGGING WIFE.
A FACT. A speaker was holding forth on womaD, and be made oat that she was just a little angel on earth. In glowing words he pictured how patieut she was in suffering, how courageous in trouble, and how altogether ee~.tle, loving and good she was under all circumstances, and cosed his peroration by declaring that any man who laid his hand on a woman, sive in the act of kindnesp, whs a monster. Aftir the lecture, a pale, haggard, woe-begon. 1 looking man shuffled op to the Fpeaker and said, " Laok here, mister, I've heard what you've hem saying about woman ; all about how rice and sweet she is, why, one would lmagmp that you believed all women were just blushing, f nil bliwn ropes ; I guess you don't know my wife. Well she h'aint no blooming rose, bhe'-i a daisy, a rug'lar daisy, why mister my wife h a nagger, and there isn't an hour when she's awake, but what she's naginnif some one. If it isn't me, its the children, if it isn't the chil» dren. its th<» cat. There is nothing thai efcapea her nagging tongue, and the only time any of ua gets any rest is when she has nagged heroelf to sleep, How like ihe nerves of a man who drinks ; they just nag, nag all the time, giving no rest until enough liquor has been taken to deaden all rjervous sensibility, and the poor fellow goes off into that sodden, snoring, miserable state that is but the rattling skeleton of a healthy sleep. R. T. Booth's Golden Remedy No 1 puts an end to all this neg* ging of the nerves by destroying all desire for liquor. R, T. Booths Golden Remedy No 2 is the best Brain and Neive Tonic on this earth. All chemists.
