An Enraged Mothers Revenge ON

We're united III marriage, Imme-
diately after the performance Of the
marriage they drove to their
new home. The happy BRIDES
mother, who at the time was absent
from home, upon learning on her
return next day what had taken
place, at once repaired to the house
where the newly married couple
resided. Fortunately,a jas she thought,
she only found her disobedient
daughter at home, busily engaged
in putting in order and arranging
matters suitable to her tastes in view
Of housekeeping. The husband
soon returned to find his young
bride with swelled jaws, several
marks of violence about her eyes
and face and minus some of her
dark, black hair. With tears in her
eyes she told him what had hap
pened during his absence. He
swore revenge, and called to mind
the words he 50 often had unhesita-
tingly and carelessly read "What
is home without Il mother-in- law?"
He now is under the impression
that it must have been a great bles-
sing for Adam, our first parent for
not having had-a mother-in law.
