Matrimonial quarreIs are proyerbial

quentiy occasion such differences. and
the ease with which they are settled al
ter the angry eifervescence has PIacidly
subsidized. A ludicrous instance OF this
fact happened IA day or two Since in
New York. a young Irish woman
rushed into the police Office in state Of
frantic excitement. and demanded a
warrant for her husband, who, she
said had abused her. Her angry sp,
Pearance, and the passion which she
displayed, made the magistrate hesitate
10 grant her request, and he told her TO
come the next day. "Ah - said she.
eli l go home, Fun afraid III never be
seen here again" "Why, o5e you afraid
he'll murder your ooh, no, he'll do
nothing of that SOFT. bot you see," she
continued, sobbiug, lis our first quar-
rel, and I'm afraid that before to.mor-
row u make up with and forgive him,
aud then. Of course. I'll not want TO
come here again" This odd reason ex-
cited the magistrates mirth. which af~
ter indolgine in, he advised her to go,
and not TO be afraid of making up with
her husband, which advice she took

tecliy subdued.-Lsdger.
