Xantippe Justified?An Amusing Sketch. ^
In the sunny land of ancient Greece,
celebrated for poetry and song, lived a pi<
a- spirited, irascible girl. Her only educa- fU
tion consisted of a knowledge of the
mysteries of Athenian housekeeping, I*1
and the arts and accomplishments in
which her mother had been capable of
m imparting instruction. A youth with " :
i All. ugiy pnysiognomy, wnose iuil nose,
thick lips, ami prominent eyes, like a
satyr's, were Jong the butt of jest in all ]
tine Athens, presented himself as a suitor for So
su- the hand of the maiden.. Possibly the
j of provident father may have looked upon '
I. the wisdom and learning of the youth- pa
ful Socrates, and pictured his daughter for
as the wife of a distinguished public an
sm. mail. Certainly she would have the tuj
prospect of a comfortable home, all the an
conveniences, probably some ol' the lux- wl
uries of life, for the youth was a sculptor Te
whose genius had already won some dis- for
tinction. So the heathen wife, who an
, knew not that the wife must ever honor tut
the and obey the husband, was wadded to on*
ity, this suitor. She entered upon her duties uir
ihle with all the enthusiasm and earnestness' tyj
' to: of her nature, yet the twain seem t? have j bo(
All j lived in a state of doubtful connubial.: tin
:ase, bliss. Naught save the discordant part of j air
ng. their experience has been handed down, tio
Socrates and then the world have im-!jn
3. mortal ized Xantippe as a scolding wife, j f0u
Admitting the accusation, we ask you to. da
? consider the true provocation. Notonlyj rj
was Socrates unattractive in feature, but <.
his styl* of dress was such as would dis-!1111
i gust any woman of taste and spirit. He [ ch;
wore the same old garment Summeraud | tin
Winter, and went barefooted, having!
been known to possess but one pair of! J*
rjn shoes in all his life. This conduct may 11"?
have given a false impression of the dor mo
mestic qualities of his wife. Whatijov
though her floors were as white as sand , *
could make them, and her chests filled i
tics with snowy linen, the world would judge julr
1ST of her neatness chieily from the person-jam
al appearance of her husband. Tlieouter j the
robe for gentlemen and ladies was the I.
same, and the wife often wore the one . '
I'J', belonging to the husband. Hut Xuti- 'iu
tippe is accused of steadily refusing to,
wear Socrates' cloak. How could she do
otherwise under the circumstances? Sta
A J With no wish to touch with impious
hand, or detract one iota from the glory
which clusters around the name of this
great philosojdier, and remembering also (
the times in which he lived, we niust'p^,
say that he who showed wbd-in and j j|'S|
)eS good sense in everything else was very j ,.j4)
careless and negligent in the treatnientof, pr,
his wife. (Jrote says that he was very |!)rt
irregular in his hours, haunting everv
' ?- ' '-I I .
S? I sort Ol place wiiltu jiu uuuiu fiijuv niu
[delights of talk and argument. If he,cm
p. I went to a merry-making, lie was likely i jj0
fac- enough to stay all night, and, without pn
I any sleep, just to wash his face, go the]!^,
' Ilyceuni or academy, and set in f?r-(j(.
loor another day's talk. Meanwhile his wife j wj,
staid at home with the children, nursing i fuj
her wrath to keep it warm. There is|rai
"77 such a thing ns righteous indignation, f tj()
n:^' Under our civilized laws the huly might j ()f
> C. almost have obtained a divorce on plea 0f
j of wilful desertion. re(
Jvj; Socrates was greatly attracted by the I jv
conversation of women of talent, audi i
courted their society for the higher cul-'fax
tivatiou of his own mind, lie was in- j ~rj
structed in the art of speaking by AsIDT
pasia. "Was it not enDugh to make any c
ER- wife jealous to know that she was negl?SS,
lected and the company of others sought ?
)ccn Very likely she wished he had married
ntce one of those showy women. Very like- ,
OF jly she told him so. Besides this, Soc- ?]
| rates did not provide for his family. He: Sa
i to left the employment of his youth ami an
gave up his time to conversing with all
who came to him, free of charge. The nn
? resuit of this was that he lived on bread tin
And'water. j kv
Socrates, wlion asked how much his!.
_ property would bring if sold, said that if th
j lie could find a good purchaser all his of
U, property, including his house, would, tic
bring five mime, or $70, and considered j w.*
hioisdf rich enough. Now if tlys (H
,j a amount had been put out at interest in, th
tllc Athens it would b:ive yielded an anhual pa
)AR income of $12; a slender revenue unonjfo!
here which to support a wife and:three chil- fr<
f aU dren. Evidently he was not an enter- rij
>f as Pris5no? efficient manager. This failing] m
a *at on the part of the husband has driven! at
many modem women into the lecture w
t field, which occupation, unfortunately, '(>
1 Xantippe cuuid only exercise upon fcjoc- to
" 'rates; # vi
V
Socrates was probably often invite*
it to dine, for, being constantly on th
reet, where he cc uld snuiF the savor'
ier of the kitohens, he had the bes
lance in the world to know where ;
ost was about to be held. A publi
an, with as glib a tongue as Soerate
id, would not lack invitation. He wa
nstantiy bringing home some one t
ne, when his wife bad not ji scrap ii
e house to cook, nor a stick of wood t
ok it with. She could give bo feast
uch less attend any, because she lackei
e means to present herself in suitabl
tire. Plutarch says that the ladie
ere invited a year beforehand that the1
l. J
i?uv jiiwu uuiu lu uress,
The well-known occupation of Socra
s was finding fault with hiH neighbors
:d very naturally the wife did not es
,pe his censures. He even permitte<
to be accused of scolding in his ver^
esence (a thing which the world neve*
uld have known,) and then, instead o
ying to defend and hide her faults, as i
ving husband'should. he admitted tha
is was true, and said : "I have mar
2d this woman, being firmly con vince<
at, tn case 1 should be able to endun
;r, I should-be able to eudure every
>dy."
Such things as these are supposed t
ak6 the very best of women scold
iierefore, since Xantippe probably mar
:id Socrates because she had no othe
loice, and Socrates married Xantipp
icause he knew their dispositions wer
ost discordant, and then did'so man;
ings to torment and aggravate her
e claim that she was justified in occa
>na1ly giving her husband a view o
mesLic affairs from woman's stand
int, or, in other words, giving him i
ece of her mind.

leiidment to the amnesty bill, said:
'The amnesty bill was so importan
d urgent a measure of public policj
lit he did not want to have it enibar
?st'<l by any other measure, howeve
notorious in itself. Ho believed tha
e great mistake in the reconstruetim

at was a disgrace to the Kepublieai
