I The naggers and the nagged are, as" a. rule, extremely fond of each other.. You are not likely to nag any one that you do not car about. In otherl words, nagging is pr arlly a family custom. and is `chiefly practised be- tween husbands and wives. parents and children. and brothers and sisters A certain affectionate intimacy seems to be required for it. Few` people nag` their servants, even if the corners are' seldom dusted and` the silver and the brasses polished only under -protest. The mistress endures such a` state off things as she n. and when she can endure it no onger. she "makes 8. change. Yet long-suffering mistress-| as are sometimes nagging wives and mothers--for the reason. no doubt. thatvin their conjugal or maternal pride they are always striving to raise the standard of those most dear to! them. In the same way, a man may nag his wife. but he either, tolerates or discharges his -office boy. For each of us there are certain Del`- sons whom it seems -worth while to take pains with. we should take pains with them at the right time and in the right tone of voice-in short. when the feeling of affection has ufficiently overcome that of an- noyance. If we observe this rule. those! who have hit erto been the victims of our nagging ay soon cease to, com- pel our forbearance. ' ' CLARKE &.
