WHAT IS A W IFE ? Let us see whether the word “ wife” has not a lesson. It literally means "a weaver. ” The wife is the. person who weaves. Before our great cotton and cloth factories arose, one of the princi pal employments in every house was the fabrication of clothipg: every family made its own. The wool was spun into thread by the girls, who were therefore called spinsters; the thread was woven into cloth by their mother, who, accordingly, was called the weaver, or the wife, and another remnant of this old truth we discover in the word "heirloom,” applied to any old piece of furniture which has come down to us from our ancestors, and which, though it may be a chair or bed, shows that a loom was once a most important article In every house. Thus the word “ wife” means weaver; and, as Trench well remarks, “ in the word itself is wrap ped up a hint of earnest, in-door, stay- at-home occupations, as being fitted for her who beai;s this name.1’ PHILOSOPHERS, TAKE NOTICE When Socrates was told that he was the wisest man in the world, he ran away, but soon returned to accept the compliment, for, said he: “ I knew that I knew nothing and I have met with no other man so wise.” Some of the modern philosophers ought to let that sink in.
