never interfere between husband and wife.

good thing, the hardihOod of the flesh,
let me do it no injustice But l mean
the higher moral courage, that can look

scorn-aye, Of loathing and of hate; can
see all this with smile, and, suffering it
all; can still toll on, conscious of the re-
suit, yet fearless still.-1heO6Ore Parker.

viving relative, and as that late lamented
did 10 his brother in his Will, cut you Oft

orphan a'ylum-all because you snaked
that chair from under him. Remember

some other fellows brother
