before the Supreme Court of Georgia, now in

before the Court upon transcript of the record,
from the Superior Court of Pike county. Jas.

account and distribution against Uriah Askew:
to which UrIah Askew pleaded in bar of said
court that James F. Dupree and wife were not
married in due form of law: for that the mar
rage ceremonies were performed by one A.

had been communicated from the Church.
and after his credentials authorizing him to
act in that capacity had been surrendered. To
this plea demurrer was filed. After an ar

to conceal the offence. At last he resumed
his book, but the constraint still continued, and
was now as much on his side as on Ellen's.
The next day came with no decrease of the
uncomfortable feelings existing between the
husband and wife. Frederick ate bis break.
fast in almost total silence, and went abroad.
All that morning Ellen was restless and un-
happy. She could not fix herself to any oceu-
patton, but wandered about the house out of
humor with herself, with the servants, with
everything. A dozen times she resolved to
tell her husband the cause of yesterday g

to her now, that as often she shrank from her
task. She felt that Frederick was now really
vexed at her, but what could she dol Every
time she thought of telling him the truth, she
blushed with shame, for her anger seemed SO
childish.
Frederick, too, spent an unhappy morning.
He was hurt at his WIFE refusal of her conf.
dence and kept taxing his memory to recollect
what he had said to offend her. But he could
not remember anything until his return to din
ner, when, as he entered the dining-room, his
remark of yesterday REQUIRED to him, and with
1t the thought that this possibly might have
been the origin ofthe whole difficulty. He in
stantly referred to his wife, aud EIlen's embar-
rassed manner satisfied him he was right.

alt is the great event Of life to find, and
know, and love superior person; to find
character that pre6gures heaven and the saints
on earth. Such one is left alone, as the
gods are. In all the superior persons have
met, notice directness, simplicity, truth spo.

iion and malformation had been trained away.

there is always perfect understanding. They
recognize at sight, and meet on better ground
than the talents or skill they chance 10 possess,
