meet him (being afraid to do so alone)
but If he had any business with her to
come to the house. In the evening, he
came to the house and besought her to
60 70 Lancaster, Pa, and again live
with him, saying he could not live
without her, and making many prOmis-
es and seeming to be very repentant.
The lady who had before been deceiv-
Cd 30 cruelty, doubling what was best
to do. gave him no encouragement.
He left the house and evidently was
much depressed in mind and did not
return until Sunday when he came and
took his little daughter out for walk.
He did not make any further overtures
toward reconciliation with his wife
until Tuesday evening when his wife
did not give him any decided answer,
but told him to wait a while, and after
shaking hands and kissing her good
night he departed. The next morning
he went to Richards house to get his
fnal answer, as he told n friend, and
seemed to expect she would return with
him, and when he arrived at the house
he was met at the door by Mrs. Rich

by the Sentinel, asked him what he
wanted.

and we will settle our own atfairs.''
