had, at the most, a general acquaintance with the
party, and refused the invitation soon made.
One morning during this Winter, which am now
describing, after Mr.. Mcfarland had been out near
~ all night in drunken orgie, and had risen from
bed Ill one Of his worst tempers, approached him
as he stood by the mirror finishing his toilet, and
began TO say something soothing to prevent the out
DurSt OF ms l-temper which | feared was soon
coming; ne turned around and struck me blow
across my face Which made me reel backward
CHANGE OF TACTICS.
From that time took an entirely different course
with HIM when in one of these furies I had shed
great many tears under his cruelty, and had tried
to reason with him, and had tried entreatics and
pursuasion; after this, whenever he was in one of
his paroXysms, as he himself called them l never
moved or spoke, but keeping perfectly selfcontrol-
my eye on him, because | always fancied as the
longer looked steadily at him, he would not do me
any mortal violence. And believe now, as be-
heyed then, that my life was saved by this silence
and self-control. He has sometimes approached me
with his hands extended, the fingers bent like claws
as if he were about to clutch my throat and cried
"iloW should like to strange you,' or "Your
me is bound some time to end in tragedy" or,
our blood will be on your own head and has
a. think, been restrained because simply look
ed at him without saying word.
AN INSANE HUSBAND.
In these furies he would often seize and break
anything which was at hand-lamps, glasses, mir
rors, and sometimes the heavier furniture of the
room often he 1vonJ risn from hod II; thoSo W @ u,o
