be effaced from my thoughts... I had just quitted France, and aiving

A DEFENCE OF .XANTIPPE.

privilege of distributing good report at pleasure, and of

again to retrieve the honour of an innocent oppressed being, it
is never too late. Xantippe has been everywhere Painted as a
standard for bad wives, her name has even become a

married her without dower.” We will pass over the Calmuck’s
nose and litile grey eyes of the philosopher, although Plato
gives no delightful picture of her charms. But in the behaviour
of people there are characteristic traces, that even adorn their
moral physiognomy ; and of we will speak :—Socrates
wandered from’ morning till’ evening through the streets,
stopped the passengers and followed the mechanics into their
shops, to prove to them that—they knew nothing; and if one
yentured to doubt thereof, he then called him a blockhead, and
fenced and demonstrated in so comical a way with his fingers ; 3
and in extraordinary cases, even ore bis hair from his head,
His scholars admired him; by the rest he was despised and
derided, even sometimes kicked a Tittle with the foot; such rude
men he then yery calmly compared to asses. It is then very
natural that these philosophical pastimes, made very little sport
to the good Xantippe, and a woman who d such a husband,
might well now and then shew a little ‘ihumoce Was she
angry, Socrates looked down upon her with contempt; yet he
even irritated her still more by derision. Xantippe was not
even fond of splendour, but she knew how to live, and she
desired, that either no guests §| should be invited, or that they
should be properly entertained. Nothing in the orld more
reasonable! ' But Socrates one day invited man le Athe-
nians to dinner, when he had only ordered Poovisions to be
served up, that were earce sufficient for a third of the number,
and that OF the very worst sort.“ But this will not do,” said
Xantippe. ‘ It must do,” answered the philosophical husband
yery dryly: ‘if the guests are moderate, there will be enough ;
if they are not moderate, then must they poi without.” “Very ery
well, but wherefore, did you invite them, before you kpew how
they would be provided?” One little natural fault Xantippe
ad: her voice sounded like the sawing of stone; there
fore ae lord and husband compared her to the goose, and said,
The goose is tolerated, ‘because it lays eggs and hatches young
ones; so also must wife, for she bore him
children.” It could not then be very flattering to the good
woman to be compared to a goose, and to be looked upon as
a domestic animal, and that only to increase the family. Even
if she brought no dower, there was no reason to treat her so
slightingly. One day she indulged herself in a little petulancy.
