give some idea of the principal ingredients"

there, he had difficulty" with "person"
who roomed with him. one evening, in which
MEG. shot three times at his antagonist only
slightly wounding him the third time He was
Immediately arrested and put in Jail; and, on
the morning after the arrest, the following scene
took place in the prison: A friend Of the mar
shall entered his cell, and found him seated, his
head resting on his hands, and looking like one
who had entirely given up in despair.
"Come, Mac" said the friend, !" cheer up;
the man is but slightly wounded, and the mat
ter will not be prosecuted
"Ruined ruined ruined n groaned the mar
shal, without even changing his position.
Ruined bah ~ returned his friend, don't
be child tell you the wound is but slight !;
besides, it is an aggravated case, and, had you
killed him, you would not have been ruinedi"
