BY A BACHELOR. No married man can bea goo judge on the great subject of wives For the wife whose character anc conduct is to be considered must be either his own or his neighbor's - How can a man deal fully and fairly with bis.own wife? He is sure tc be blind to her beauties, or, in hi: enrly etute of happiness, utterly oblivious to her blemishes. With hit neighbor's wife, it is just as hopeles though the other way; for here he will discover charms that are wholly hidden trom' her husband, and pas: over defuots of which he is only toc painfully aware. . A man's own wifc is too close to him, bis neighbor' too far away, for anytbing like an independent judgment. But beyond this, there is a condition of mental bondage in which he is boand that makes overy martied man's opinion upon kroad and general questions, wholly valueless. No; it is a bach- elor alone who has that total free: dom from prejudice which is need- ful to the consideration of wifbhood as an institution and wives in gener- al. This cool und calm study ol married women has its fascinations. There is no foolish fluttering about it, no passion, and above all no poetry. It isall bard, clear, cold, common sense, but none the less is it interesting, if not "an enthralling pursuit. Asa confirmed bachelor much given to the study of wives, [ may venture a fow hints to those who from the same lofty sammit of independence, are inclined lo take up the subject. They have, of course much to un- learn. All romantic nonsense about falling in love must be set aside for ever and forgotten. To the sane man, COURTSHIP IS BUT A FARCE. that has to be played out before the wrtain rises upon the serious bus- iness of life,the melodarma of marri- 1ge--some call it a comedy, but they know nothing of the dark corneps ind shady episodes that are too ften to be found behind the scenes. Others, again, of a melancholy turn, «poak of it as if wore a tragedy ; but these fail too see the many comical absurdities of wedded life, To a philosopher itis melodrama, dealing with the fate of the two leading characters, and deeply touching the the destinos of those in the minor parts, but always having an under- plot or rather low comedy. The courtship, however, has to be got through somehow; and many nowa- days, so reduce its farcel clements that it becomes a neat little comedi- etta. But the plot of the whole thing is radically wrong, What- ever may have happened in a golden age, of which we hoar only in the misty murmurs of a far off poetry, the women of this period woo and win the men. There are boys, in- deed, who play at a pretty hitle game called' making love, and talk about wooing and winning some ht star in their horizon, But this only looked dpon as childish chatter by a sune and - sensible gen- eration; though it surcives to tell us of our savage ancestors, and is kept up, as are many other things, to please the women. Truth tv say thegirls are fairly bold about the business, and hardly scek to hide the fact that they seek to woo and win the men of their choice. It peakes volumes for the conceit of modern manhood that mang still think they win their own wives,and are not chosen by thom, Yet any one who has had even but a glance into the sucret circles of sosiety can see at once that this wooing and winning by men, if it ever really flourished, has gone out long 8go.-- [tisnot 'the duughters who need chaperons; save to please an effete! propriety ;| they can - look well enough after their own affairs, Tt is the eldest sons who noed to be sternly controlled by some chaperon to stop them making fools of them- selves apd their familes, There bas of late been a sentimental attack up- on that wise French system under which boys are prevented from pawning their future for a passing fancy. But in this, asin many othor matters, thoy order things better in France, The very notion of a youth choosing bis own wife is absurd, Bab! he is not to be trust- od with & borse or a dog, how much less with awoman? Still the great difficulty is to prevent these well-to- do young eparks from being chosen by adventurous girls, while thoy they think hey are choosing for | recomes a wife. Now her ambition 3 achieved ; now she is going to be- in the world, and see lifé with her own eyes and on her own account. Vow she will have her own way.-- he only true and complete defini- ion of a wife is a woman who al- vays has her own way." Let any me who dislikes it--and there will 'e many on both sides who'doso--find nother equally applicable and ex- 1austive.There is no doubt about the natter in the minds of those who are ot swayed by pique or prejudice.-- Bvery married woman who knows ind appreciates the power of her position always bins her own way, ds a thing of course." There are, in- deed, weak women who lackthe courage needed for this self-assertion and they are trampled upon by their husbands accordingly. But so widespread is the belief that all wives should have their own way, that these poor half-hearted failures meet rather with eontempt than pity. And Ishould like to know if it was not to bave her own way, why on earth a'girl ever gets marri- ed? In story books written by men she falls in love with the hero, and wishes to share his lifefor ever, though it be but a cottage. Kiadies, too, who write novels havo to bow to the prevailing prejudice, and make men of dazzling beauty woo and win the modest maidens they imagine. But when we come to read life and hard facts, it all plain sail ing. Surely no one will dispute that the feminine heart has a will of its own, Though infancy and child. hood, at school and at home, even when "out" and marriagable girla never get a chanco of having their own way, They therefor look for- ward to wifehood as to freedom, and then this pent up willfulness comes out with full forve upon their happy husbands, Te have their own" way is what they have worked for, dress ed for, and flirted for; and whatever the men of thoir choice may think about themselves and their attrac. tions, it will not be long after mar- riage that they find out their mis. take, In pursuing this privilego of hav- ing their own way, seme wives do strange things. For it frequently comes to pass that, having married purely as a business speculation they take a fancy to fall in love after- wards and not always with their own husbands. Ini this respect women are unfortunate; they can- not work off their surplus passion and folly as men do before marriage, and so they are apt to get foolish when the time has gone by for such things. But all these more serious matters I leave to the clergy and the lawyers, It ia a truism that every wife should be queen of ber home, and the absolute mistress of all that is under her roof tree, Now this of course includes her husband; yet, though nothing more becomes a married man than to obey his wife, by whom he has been chosen, itis surprising how few will admit that they never have their own way. Why is it, then, I ask that even in the early days of married life hus- bands are so timoroms of taking home an old friend, so fearful stay- ing late at the olub, so apologetic of their wives existence? Ah! me, it is an old tale, I have a little drawer wherin [ always put the inevitable card and cake which tell me that an- other friend has FALLEN IN THE FIGHT. 1 lay them reverently beside the notices of birth and mem. orials of death that fills this private place, and let them fade and crumble awny together as records of the happier past, 8till it must never bo forgotten that, as no married man is over fit to have his own way, it 'is always well that the wife should firmly take the reins into her hands or thers would be no guidance any- where. The man who could thus tamely be chosen for his money or his position, and picked out of a mob by one whom be stupidly thinks a weaker vessel, is certainly mot worthy to bave his. own way any longer, If he was not able to shape hia own destiny, ho should not be allowed to direct the fate of ahothor. But this, of course, may be a merely personal prejudice, There are how. over, few who will dispute that the man who lets his wife do as she will lives in a kind of quiet happiness--- of a low and drowsy order if you will, but, all the same, a sort of calm con. tent-- that is wholy wanting to him who struggles to regain that freedom | whieh ho so _ foolishly aband:. ed at v £ di woman becomes \ soa real |. that her very soul is kept covered up and her heart has no room for healthy action. But the bonds are broken on her wedding-day, when, from a ehrysalis condtion, she comes out a batterfiy, or a bee, or per- chance a wasp. Then she begins to breath freely, and to aim at ,the supremo bappiness of women-kind --the having het own way. The husband, still stiff in his own vonceit, is tairly startled and shaken with the shock of a surprise. The meek and modest maiden whom he court- ¢d so cavalierly soon showes him she is E A WOMAN WITH A TONGUE and with a temper, and a woman who will have her own way, When be talks about Home and Happiness and the Duties of a wife, all in cap- itals, she laughs at him for his in- nocence, and wants to know if he wotld like to treat her ns a child, as did her nirse, and her governess,and her mother, and her chaperon, to keep up the proprieties. Possibly some of his over-weening conceit is thus laughed out of him, and he agrees to take his prorer place as bis wife's husbands, giving up with a sigh the good old copybook and church-service mottoss about being lord and master, and geting from her nothing but honor and obedience. Tf tho isensble conclusion be quick come lo, all may yét--be well; snd should he bear the yoke gractully bis wife will be easy with him, and let him have his own way in little things, and look as docile as a dove when company is present, Bat in case the unlucky husband clings to the ancient superstition of bis own authority, then there will be war to knife, and none can tell what will happen, save the certain ending that at some time or other, the wife will succeed in baving her own way. To watch a women traning her husband to fetch and carry is a de- lightful' pastime for those who are inclined to philosophicstady. With heaven-born instinct the wife knows exactly when to smile and when to frown, and where a touch of the whip or tongue will be most effectual. Graciously giving way to hif wishes after thoy have boen suggested by herself, she turns him round her little fingure, and holds him up laughingly to the gaze of the wond- ering world. Women are not gen- erally humorists ; but they cannot belp feeling the fun of the thing when they so successfully manage their husbands, who all the while think they are managing them. This artful appearance of innocenee and obedience is, indeed, surest sign that a wife is having all her own way. Sheisnot so foolish as to care for the semblances of power. He may seem to be the master, jand really act as the fingershead of the vessel ; but the wife rales the rudder and steers the ship where ever she may chance to wish, Every wise magried man knows this to be so,and bowes to this inevitable, Bat, then few husbands are wise; and they. therefor, only too often expose them selves to the ridicule of the philos. ophic fow, who secs things as they are, and smilo serencly at the spectacle of those bold British lions being driven, each in sicgle harness in the chariot of Home. They aie but poor company, these married men; being either tamed out of knowledge, or else restless and chaf ing under the bit and tho reins. Their wives are far 'more sociable and amusing, because thoy sre wo- men of the world, who have shown their strength of character by choos- ing men for husbands and then baving overything theirown way The subject is really inexhaustable; but [ must close these few hints as to the study of wives in general. nm ------ Fair Play Out West, They gives man a chance out West. In Deadwood, Custer,or any of those new Western towns, the spit of fair play crops to the sur- face even in judicial proceedings.-- In March last, 8 Michigan man who keeps an eating house at Gunnison was over particular about taking u counterfeit half dollar, and in a row which resulted he was considerably battered.
