The origin of this "old saying," which applied to the woman who governs her hus band, and lis. waster, as wol tis. mistress of ber'family, is thus related.iri Addiso .An- erdntMi. nnhlinhod in' I7QJV Pand having married a young lady of c con- sldernbld fortunb, nnd With many other charms, yet finding, in h very short timo tnntsncwasoi a high domineering spirit, and always contending to ho mistress 6f him nnd his family, he was resolved to part with her. Accordingly, ho went to her father, and told him he found his daughter of such n temper and was so heartily tired of ber, that il ho would, lake her homo again, ho would return every penny of her fortune. The old gentleman having inquired into the causo of his complaint, asked him "Why ho should bo more disquieted, at it than any other married man, sinco .it was the common case with them all, nnd'eonse quently, no mdro than he ought to have ex pected when ho entered into "the married state." The young ge'nllemnn desired to be excused, "if ho said he was so far from giv ing his assent to this nssertlon, that he thought himself more unhappy thnn any other man, as his wife had a spirit no' way to be quelled ; nnd as most certainly ndr man, who had a sense of right nnd wiong, could ever submit to be governed by his wife." "Son," said the old man, "vou nro but little acquainted with jhp wo'rfd, if you do not knoiv that nil women govern their liu'ot'andc, though not all indeed, by the same method: however, to end all disputes between Us, I am willing to try it. 1 have five horses in thy stable; you shall harness theso to n cart, in which I will put a basket containing one hundred eggs; and if, in passing through tne county, and making strict enquiry into the truth oi falsehood of my nsscrlion, and leaving a horse nt the house of every man who is master of his family himself, and an ,Vgg only where the wife governs, you will find your eggs gonu before you r horses ; 1 'hope you will then think your case not un common, but will be contented to go home, and look upon your own wife as no worse than her neighbors.

This proposal was too advantageous to be rejected ; our young married man set out, therefore, with great eagerness, to get rid, as he. thought, of his horses nnd his wife.

He saVs "It pleased the Lord to send so mighty a storm as tho like was nevv er known in New England since the En glish came, nor in me memory ot any ot.ttie Indians. It was so furious that our anchor came home then we.werp, by the violence; of thp waves and fury .ofjhe winds, lifted upon a rock, between two high rocks yet all, was one rock. The waves came furiously and violently over us and against us, but, by reason of the rocks proportion could not lift us ofi; but beat her all to' pieces, Our foremast was cut down, dUr inaih-mast broken in three pieces, the fore part of the pinnancc beat away, our goods swimming about jbe sen, my children bewailing mens not pitying themselves, and so likewise my cousin, his wife, and his children, insomuch that from thegrcateM to the' least of us, tbtt was not one screech or outcry made, butOTI, as silent sheep, were contentedly resolved to die togetheriovlngly. As I'was silling1 in ihe cabin room door, one of the sailors, by a wave, uepig wasueu out oi mo pinnace, was gotten in again, and, cprnjnc into the cabin room over my back, crieu out, wo nro nil cast away. The master of the pinnace, look ing up at the scuttle of the quarter ;dcck", wept out at it, but I neyer saw. him after winds. The sailor that had been in tho sea, went out again, and leaped overboard toward the rocks, when, afterward, I could not see. By a mighty wave 1 was washed out upon part of the rock, where the wave left me almost drow.ned; but, recovering, my feet, I saw above me, on tho rock, my djughterMary to whom I had no sooner gotten, but my cousin Avery and hs eldest son came to us, being all four washed out by fie same wave. Presently came, another wnve, and, dashing the pinnace nil Id pieces, cariled my wife, with the greater pan of tlio qnaiter deck, Into the shore. We four by tliuj,wave vuro clean swept away from 6a the rock in(o the sea, the Lordin c-iie in stant of time disposing of fifteen souls of.us'." Mr. TJiacher only .wne -preserved.

He -says, " I stood bolV.hp right, as if I stood upon, my .feet, yet felt ho' bottom ," He, ns soon cost upon. the shore, where he found his .wife., the only other per son, saved., After remaining several, tlays, they were .taken in .a boat rind carr,ied(",ta Miublehead, The places have since .been named Avery's ,Roc!i nnd Thnclier's' Island.
