Women Stronger than Oxen. It is related of

a certain New England divine who flourished not

many years ago, and whose matrimonial relations

are supposed not to have been -of the most agreeable kind, that, one Sabbath morning, while reading to his congregation the parable of the supper, in Luke xiv, in which occurs this passage ", And an

go to prove them ; I pray thee to have me excused ;

and another said, 1 have married a wife, and therefore cannot come,' -he suddenly paused at the end

of this verse, drew off his spectacles, and looking

around on his hearers, said, with emphasis ' The fact is, my brethren, one woman can draw a man

farther from the kingdom of heaven than five yoke of oxen ' . , ' ,
