An erring husband, who had exhausted
all explanations for late hours, and had no
apology ready, recently slipped into the
house, about one o'clock, very softly, de-
nuded himself gently, and began rocking
the cradle by the bedside, as if he had been
awakened out of a sound sleep by infantiIe

served the whole manauvre, said, "Come
to bed, you fool, the baby amt there"

ers submitted their difficulty to Monammed
Ali. 3 Nothing easier" said the wise Ali.

eighteen ; and now divide them yourselves. y
The consequence was, each brother got
