A protestant lady was married to a

ing his agreement to the contrary, soon
after marriage began to harass his wife
on the subject of religion. His efforts
were commenced in this fashion In
her presence he wore a melancholy as

oppressed by some secret grief, which
was consuming his spirits.-The impOr-

a series of most earnest efforts on the
part of the husband, to convert the
wife; not succeeding according to his
wishes, he called in the assistance of
the priest. The lady was driven by The
