LAWFUL REyENGE.-Many years since, a gentleman in Newington, parish of Weth- ers6eld. Connecticut, who was very rel- gious and conscientious man, married one of the most ili-naiured and troublesome wom- en he could find in the vicinity. This oc- casioned universal surprise wherever he was known, one of his neighbor ventured to ask him the reason which had governed his choice. He replied that having but llile trouble in the world he was fearful Of becom- ing too much attached to things of time and sense, and thought by experiencing some afliclions, he should become more weaned from the world, aud he married such wom- all as he thought would accomplish his ob- ject The best part of the story is, that the wife, beariug the reason why he married her, was much offended, and out of revenge became one of the mos, pleasant and duldul wives in the iowa, declaring that she was not going to bespack-horse to carry her hus- band to heavne.
