Afrikaans: (2.) VROUERUSIE. (Kyk bladsy 213.)
Die huishoudelike lewe word natuurlik onder barbare versondig soos by beskaafde nasies; en daar is miskien tye wanneer die dapper soldaat wat met 'n vrou of twee vir sy moed op die slagveld beloon is, wens om homself opnuut op 'n oorlogsmars te begewe. Die natuurlike gevolg van die lae aansien waarmee die vroue bejeën word, en die toestand van slawerny waaraan hulle onderwerp word, is dat hulle geneig is om hewig onder mekaar rusie te maak, en om teenoor mekaar uiting te gee aan enige ergerlike gevoelens wat hulle voor hul here en meesters moet onderdruk. Selfs by onsself sien ons hoe hierdie twisgierige gees gedy in verhouding tot die gebrek aan kultivering, en hoe daar in die mees agtergeblewe woonbuurte 'n kywery tussen twee vroue op die geringste gronde sal ontstaan om dan in alle rigtings soos 'n veldbrand te versprei. So sal in 'n Kafferkraal 'n paar vroue rusie kry, en die onenigheid gedy dadelik alom. Elke vrou wat kan hoor moet aan die oragie deelneem, net soos honde wanneer hulle hul maats hoor baklei, en die toneel in die kraal word, soos in illustrasie nr. 2 op bladsy 209 aangedui word, meer lewendig as aangenaam. Selfs hierdie kwaal van die huislike lewe is nie sonder sy remedie nie, wat gewoonlik die vorm van 'n stok aanneem, sodat die mans minstens draaglik rustige lewens kan lei. Hulle vernaamste kenmerke is die absolute mag van hulle koning, en hulle besondere vatbaarheid vir bygeloof; maar, aangesien hulle nog nooit daaraan gewoond was om hul lewe of eiendom as hul eie te beskou nie, woon hulle heel gelukkig onder toestande wat 'n Engelsman ellendig sou maak. English: (2.) WOMEN QUARRELING. (See page 213.) Domestic life has, of course, its draw-backs among savages as among civilized nations; and there are, perhaps, times when the gallant soldier, who has been rewarded with a wife or two for his courage in the field, wishes himself once more engaged on a war march. The natural consequence of the low esteem in which the women are viewed, and the state of slavery in which they are held, is that they are apt to quarrel fiercely among themselves, and to vent upon each other any feelings of irritation that they are forced to suppress before heir lords and masters. Even among ourselves we see how this querulous spirit is developed in proportion to want of cultivation, and how, in the most degraded neighborhoods, a quarrel starts up between two women on the very slightest grounds, and spreads in all directions like tire in tow. So, in a Kaffir kraal, a couple of women get up a quarrel, and the contagion immediately spreads around. Every woman within hearing must needs take part in the quarrel, just like dogs when they hear their companions fighting, and the scene in the kraal becomes, as may be seen by the illustration No. 2, page 209, more lively than pleasant. Even this drawback to domestic life is not without its remedy, which generally take the shape of a stick, so that the men, at least, pass tolerably tranquil lives. Their chief characteristics are the absolute power of their king, and their singular subservience to superstition; but, as they have never been accustomed to consider their lives or their property their own, they are quite happy under conditions which would make an Englishman miserable.
