England's One Real Humorist.

Perhaps England has had no real humorist since George Savile, marquis of Halifax, died, and that was in 1695. Halifax was the man who said that “if you think your place is beneath you, you certainly will be beneath it.” And he wrote an esßay once, which has lately been republished in exactly its original form, in which he congratulated the women who had fools for husbands. “A wife,’’ he said, “often maketb the better figure, for her husband's making no great one, and there seemeth to be no' reason why the lady that chooseth a waiting woman with worse looks may not be content with a husband with less wit” Take your orders from your husband (this was the, Halifax principle), but also take precious good care he gets these orders from you iu the first place.
