magistrate on peace warrant issued at the suit oil
his wife, Mrs ELEANOR TURNER. There was

cipa facts
Mr.. & Mrs. Turner we're married in September

seventy three years old, and she was only fifty six,
the very day they went 10 church consequently
their experience was not 30 great as it might have
been, had they been older. Nevertheless, they
managed to get over the first six weeks, as Mr.
Turner said, pretty tghtish." But after that time,
his business began to fall off; and Then Mrs. Tur-
ner, who was by profession a manglsr, insisted on
his turning the wheel for her. Well, he did turn
it. and turn it. again and again, from six clock in
the morning till at night; and if he did not turn it
last enough, Mrs. Turner boxed his ears; and Often
when she had boxed his ears till fire flashed from
his eyes, as it were, she would tell him. though he
was Turner by name, he was poor turner by
nature On the other hand, Mrs. Turner alleged
that he had married her out of kitchen, rvhat She
had lived IN eleven long years; that she had brought
him as excellent cha acter any man could de-
sire; that she thought she could have done as well
with him as she could with a man of twenty or
twenty hive years old; bot that she sadly disap-

TO raise funds tor that purpose. With the funds
so raised, he purchased spick-and-spab new
straw bonnet, with ribbons all up atop of it, quite
beautiful to behold. so beautiful indeed, that the
ribbons alone cost him clear FIVE shillings. And
with his bonnet so beautiful, he went home reio-
eng IN his heart, TO think how pleased Mrs Tur |
ner would be and how happy they should live, fol |
JorfHSht at the very least. But not bit of il |
