''That it passes all comprehension, !"
said Squire Wytynge.
"Well, say remarked Mr.. Purchas,
whose domestic experience was sad, "the
man who knowingly puts his head in
such yoke deserves to wear it always.
Vinegry women are wont to be smooth
tongued through oourtship and to make

"Well, tell us the rest, neighbor, said
Mr.. Blumfleld. .'They were married ~
eyes, they We're married, and those
who saw them, as they quilted her
fathers house, say that she berated him
all the way to his home.

| plainingly for six months or more, though
| he did confess to me, upon one OCCASION,
| that he did not bear in mind when he
| married that death only parted husband
| and wife. His silence enraged her; but
| never did he speak word in temper to

With that Mrs. Appleby became very
wroth, and did call my spouse pan

tell you that which would make you an

Are you SO stupid that you have not dis
covered that = my spouse asked. Il know,

| had no trials, these were his words, and
| he feared that lie could not reach heaven
