HUFF AND TIFF.
A Picture or Married Life That YOu Nay Possibly
Recognize.

Thwaite, and they had been so for a few
weeks only. They became HUI and Tiff when
they married.
Although they we're well-tO-do citizens OF
New Lancaster they had not been married
grandly in church, because they were so
young; and if the truth must come out, it
had been a runaway match. No one could
understand why they had runaway, as the
opposition to their marriage had been more
of a pOstponing character than anything else;
but Mr.. Thwaite had suggested that the
former Miss Featherly had too little money
for his sons intended wife. There had been
a stormy scene in which the two vessels, old
and young gentleman, had come into coils

to say more? No; surely all persons of TWEEN
