Judge Marshall as a Husband

The strength and tenderness Of Judge Mar
shall's attachment to Mrs. Marshall viii ap-
pear from the following affecting tribute to
her memory, written by himself, December
IS 1912: e1 -
This day of joy and festivity to the whole
Christian world. Is, to my sad heart, the ami
versary Of the keenest affection which humani-
ty can sustain. While all around is gladness,
my mind dwells on the silent tomb, and cher
ishes the remembrance Of the beloved object
which it contains. S =.
On the 25th Of December, 1884,, il was the
will Of Heaven to take to itself the compan-
ion who had sweetened the choicest part of
my life, had rendered toll pleasure, had par
taken Of all my feelings, and was enthroned in
the inncst recesses Of my heart. Never can
cease 70 feel the loss and deplsre it. Grief
for her is too sacred ever to be profaned on
this day, which shall be. during my existence,
marked by recollection Of her virtues.
On the Sd Of January, 1888, was united in
the holiest bands to the woman adorsd.---
From the moment Of oar union, to that of our
kle8veu
for this his best gift. Not moment passed in
which did moi consider her as a blessing from
which the chief happiness Of my life was de-
rived. This never-dying sentiment, origina.
ting in love, was cherished by a long and close
observation Of a. slnable and estimable quall-
ties as ever adorned the female bosom. To a
person which in youth was very attractive, to
manners uncommonly pleasing, she added a
fine understanding and the sweetest temper
which can accompany inst and modest sense
Of what was due t. herself. She was exuca-
ted with profound reverence for religion,
which she preserved to her last moments.-
This sentiment, among her earliest and deep
est impressions, gave coloring to her whole
life. Hers was the religion taught by the
Saviour OF man. She was firm believer in
the faith inculcatad bv the church Episcopal)
in which she was bred.

BE Equal TO THE CRIsIs.--When crisis
befai!s, and the emergency requires mosai
courage 70 meet it. be equal 10 the require
ments Of the moment, and rise superior to the
obstacles in yonr path. The universal testi-
mony Of men, whose experience exactly coin
cides with yours, furnishes the consoling re-
aection that difficulties may be ended by op-
position. There is no blessing equal to the
stout heart. The magnitude of danger needs
nothing more than greater effort than sSer at,
your hands. II You are recreant IN The hour,
Of trial, you are the worst Of reereants, and
deserve no compassion. Be not dismaysd. or
unnamed when You should be bald, daring,
unfiinchng. and resolpie. The cloud whose
threatening mssfmurs you hear viii fear and
dread, is pregnant with blessing, and the
frown, whose sternness now makes you shudder
and tremble, will, ere long, be succeeded bya
smile of bewitching sweetness and benignity.
Then be strong and manly, oppose equalforce
TO open difficulties, keep firm reliance on
your ability to overcome the obstacles, and
trust in Providence. 4,

The following extract from "The Widow

tice of guests 1avoring the entertainment Of
their hostess, while she on her part disparages
it:

"Dew taste of this plum sass, Miss Peabody;
