HOW TO COOK A HUSBAND.
First of all catch him. Having done so, the mode of cooking him so as to make a good dish of him is as follows. Many good husbands are spoiled in the cooking. Some women go about it as if their husbands were bladders and blow them up, others keep them constantly in hot water, while others freeze them by conjugal coolness. Some smother them in hatred, contention, and variance, and some keep them in pickle all their lives. These women always serve them up with tongue sauce. Now it cannot be supposed that husbands will be tender and good if managed in this way, but they are on the contrary very delicious when managed as follows :—

Get a large jar called the jar of carefulness, which all good wives have on hand. Place your husband in it, and set him near the fire of conjugal love. Let the fire be pretty hot, but especially let it be clear ; above all, let the heat be constant ; cover him over with affection, kindness, and subjection ; garnish with modest becoming familiarity and the spice of pleasantry, and if you add kisses and other con­fectioneries, let them be accompanied with a sufficient portion of secrecy, mixed with prudence and moder­ation.

All good wives ought to try this recipe and realize how admirable a dish a husband is when properly cooked.

CURE FOR THE HUMP.
Take one ounce of the seeds of resolution, properly mixed with oil of good conscience, infuse with a large spoonful of the balsam of patience. Distil carefully a composing plant called Other's Woes, which you will find in every part of the garden of life. Gather a handful of the blossoms of hope, sweeten them properly with a syrup made of the balm of Providence, and, if you can get, any seeds of true friendship, you will then have the most valuable medicine that can be administered. But you must be careful to get the seeds of true friendship, as there is a weed that much resembles it called self interest, which will spoil the whole composition.
