Now Mrs Peters husband was
most excellent man-and a sober man,
withal. And his wife was ttnderly at
rached to him. In regard to his ever
becoming a drankard she had as little
fear as of his running off and leaving
her. Still. when she made this last re-
mark, she looked towards him, Qor he
was presently with a stern and signifi-
cant expression on her countenance.
This was not reail, meant for him,
but for the imaginary individual she
had supposed as bearing the relation
towards her--a drunken husband.
"You would, would you r. Mr.. BE-

resolutions uttered by his wife.
