WILLIAMS \ Man is by nature far more tyrannical than Ionian Relieving his mission is to rule, he Wishes to aee all ervation under his feet. lie lords it over his servants, his clerks, his horse* and his dogs, and. poor woman, over his wife too. Mra. Chubb was an angel of a Woman ; she Was pious, amiable, gentle?indued she was.j erervthingthata woman should he. Rut she had one great wcakucs*; she thought that aho was hound to bear all Mr. Chubh's suuhbings and bearish ness without a reply, or if she did re ply, it waa to any -'thank you." "Chattrlea" waa her law-giver, her master, whose frown she feared, whose scowling brow put her almost into fits, and whose couimands she would sooner kill herself than nut obey. In a word Mrs. Chnbb was the abject slave of Mr. Chubb. Bettering that woman is the equal of mau. ?that he haw no more rignt to rule her tha i she thaa to rule him, it may very well he imagined jth fsra mtt^T3^ftertl?Mear Ubnrlea always itaxda at that time." , "Well" I relied, '*! can t WMp that; 1 ? O, d^r, love," ehe ^postulated, 'don U I pray . Charles will be very anjfry." "1 don't eare for thatI aajd. 8hc foirly groaned. "Ptea**, my 4*?"? ^ ?hb juncture Charles walkfd in. He waa ?olhTeftongh in hi* reception of nie, but wa* .evidently thinking more of how he c aid make iSiaaaelf comfortable than he waa of me. Mra Chobb, poor liUle woman, *w all in a flurry . . m? t..~...,*A when her lord ?irowlet we wytifippera, Ruth." She atooc meekly puttiug thaw on his groat feet a* h< thrust tkcm oat, wbHe he novcr a* much a ^aid, "tawak ??flow these liul* attention* are pleaafent t behold when they are the free will offering* c luv?; bat when they arc extorted as a righ thoy become only a meaningless ceremony? something tbnt creutee a feeling of disgust. Tea being over, I, nothing heading Mrs. Chubb's warning, essayed a few rcssarks, which Mrs. Chubb, merely replied to, and thon became dumb ns Memiiou when the sun does not shine on him. Again I spake. She put her finger to her lips, but I did not heed the mute sign?the signal of distress. '"Charles" looked up at me with an impatient glance, which I pretended not to notice. I insisted on talking; why should I remain dumb because Mrs. Chubb's lord and master wished to read. If be could not rend where I was talking, let him go to bis room; I had rights to be respected as well as Mr. Chubb; all tbe rights are not on the side uf the men. tbe Wouion have some too, aud talking is certainly one uf our rights. This I argued to Mrs. Chubb, after Mr. Chubb had closed his book with a surly look aud gone off to bed. "Poor, dear soul! T do pity you." "For what ?" she asked with wouder. "Such an awful husband!" "Why, my dear!" she exclaimed with amazement, "Charles is devoted to me." "Sparc me such devotion." ?'She smiled a ?ort of woe-begone smile that spoke more of endurance than gladness. "Such a tyrant; we must sit here in dead silence and look at him. because he chooses u? to do so." "Hut. n:y dear, you know he must read,? "Aud 1 must talk ; I did not come to sec you to sit mum all evening. No member of a film ilj has any right to come into the fiini ly-circle of an evening and say to the others, or you must not talk, or you must not sing, because it does hot suit my pleas uro to hear you. I want to read, so you all must sit around silent as the wax-figures in Mrs. Tassaud's show, and look at me ; it will be very entertaining and improving employ ment for you ; it will be particularly good for the woracu, for it will learn them how to be silent, something the}' have not yet learned. [ say any member of a family that does this is a domestic tyrant?aud your "Charles" <*nmrs uti.li that head " She replied, meekly, the head of a family tias a right to do as he pleases." "Indeed'" and so Henry, the 8th. had a right to decapitate his wiv?s; because he was the head of the family, hu thought that thee poor woman could get along very well without thi ir heads. Let a woman once say to a man, by words, looks, or acts, -you arc the head of the house, you have a right to do just ns you please," and who can tell where his tyranny will en 1. Xo, no; you must teach "the head of the house" that you have rights as well as he has; that you have your wishes aud your preferences too. Say to him, in the words id the old poet, say it in pMSe, if you please, "I was not taken out of your side, sir to be tram pled upon; but I was taken out of your side to be your equal;" "Hut you know the master of the house"? I interrupted her, "is not the master of every living soul in it." Hut you know, my dear, the head of the house"? "Properly speaking is the woman." "That was not what I was going to say." "Of course not; nothing was farther from your thoughts." "I was going to say "the bead of the bouse, frequently likes silence of an evening when he is reading. "Did you ever know a woman the other head of the house, for u house has two beads, I";now?so supremely selfish, as to pick up k, aud say, "hush, all of you! 1, the I, am about to read? Let there bo a und eilcnee; no body must talk, for 1 read? Oh! no; it is reserved lor the of creation to achieve this pinnacle of i tyranny, is is only one' of the phases of Mrs. ?b's "dear Charles' " selfishness and ty cal meanness. If he was tho only man thought, because ho was "tho head of the j" he had a rig'it to behave as disagree hs he pleased. 1 might have passed over latter in silence. Hut there arc a groat ' Mr. Chuhbs', and I want them to under I that they have no more right to lord it it ir their wives than t heir wives have to lord 1 soever them; and that women have rights thi Wiehes, and they must learn to respect eu-.'H.
