aYou are too hard upon Mrs. Murke she
brought her husband fifteen thousand dollars,
and had a right to demand that he should

us remain where we are, my husband; and
while we have crust OF bread, let Us share

So Mr.. Lighte went Whistling to his store,
thanking the Providence that had given him

But the ghosts returned.
