DoMEsTIc HAPPINESS. - There Is q
young couple. living on the Island, mar.
ried some time during the past summer,
who do not fad matrimonial life srewn
with roses. The other day the twain
quarreled, and the lord and master left
his partner in possession of the castle.
She, however, was not satisfied with such
an easy victory, and threw all her lurni.
ture into the street. Then she took her
little Ratchet, after the fashion Of the
immortal George, and deliberately cut of
the heads Of all her chickens. These two
souls apparently have something more
than single thought.
