Honey In the Cellar.

The average cellar In most places is

to whom she had promised her heart
aud hand, were sitting in front of the
fireplace, talking about the happy days
to come, when they would be one.
From one little detail to another the
talk finally drifued to the subject of
making fires in the morning. On this

stated it as his emphatic opinion that
it was,the wife's place to get up and

working husband rest.
