Irusoies Handsome Daughter
There are occasions wherein the greatest
hpyocrites aro candid—when the most com
plete rogues act honestly and aboveboard.
Such was the state of affairs between Mar
chisson and Iluson. They put their heads
togzther, and revealed all that. each knew
of this matter, and then, to their no small
confusion, they discovered that it had been
a battle between love and law, and that a
certain little curly-pated, rosy-checked boy,
yclept Cupid, had fairly outwitted burly
law, in his full flowing wig and gown. It
was humiliating, but it was a fact. Noth
ing now remained but to revenge.
"Leave all to me, liaison," said his friend,
"I'll sot it all to rights tomorrow. I'll see
this youth."
And he did see him next day.
lluson went home and said nothing to
Lily about the clerk, and next morning,
just as Murchisson was preparing a visit to
Gray Russell, Gr..y Russell walked into his
office.
attEDMIIM
"i‘lurchisson's a capitnl good fellow," he
said to himself, "and having known my
father and mother, he'll take a greater inter
est in promoting my wishes. I'll tell him
all."
Su he did, and never Was there n man
more astonished and good natured in any
business of the kind than Murchisson, and
most heartily he laughed at the idea of
Murchisson's clerk.
77. PPAIILER,
Lnetit4 •trcet
"Now, my good fellow," said Gray Rus
sell, entreatingly, "you must do me a kind
office. I want you to introduce me in proper
form to Ilusou and his daughter."
"And what will you say about Marais
son's clerk? lluson's a touchy fellow."
"Tell the truth I"
"Humph! won't do. Wiq the girls affec
tions first and then come forth from your
borrowed skin—be my clerk a little longer,
take my advice."
Gray Russell rather liked the notion of
winning Lily's love as a poor clerk, and the
coming out as Russell, of Russell Court, so
he left himself entirely in tho other's hands,
who took him up to Iluson's in the evening,
and making the excuse that he and his
clerk were going somewhere on business,
be formally presented Gray Russell. Of
course Iluson was cognisant of the whole
trick.
From that evening the young lover's visits
were not few and far between ; but though
his admiration for Lily was unmistakeable,
he did nut propose as soon as both Iluson
and Murchisson had anticipated. The fact
is that no man could possibly love a girl
better than Gray did Lily; but we have
spoken of his deep esteem for women. Some
one or two little events had taken place
which had startled his faith in lluson's pro
bity, and he rather waited to see whether it
was possible that Lily could look and seem
so pure and bright, and yet be tarnished by
contact with evil.
This waiting did not please either fluson
or Murchisson. There had been an arrange
ment between them that when Gray Russell
married Lily a certain sum was to be given
to the latter for the share be had had in the
business. Now, the delay made the solici
tor question whether it were not better to
take the matter of payment into his own
hands.
"I tell you what it is flagon," said the
other, as the two worthies sat togethor in
earnest consultation in the latter's office, "I

don't like all this delay. The young fellow
was mad after the girl—what has put him
off?"
"I cannot make gut. lam sick of their
love making."
"You have not been letting out, have
you ?"
"I!" exclaimed Hugon.' "Why I never
was so guarded in my speech in my life. It
grows quite unpleasant to be so afraid of
giving a bit of one's thoughts bent."
The candor of rogues with one another,
the disguise thrown off all wickedness, has
ever seemed to us a curious thing to see and
study, could it be unseen by them observed.
"I'll tell you what I have thought of, Hu
son. Who was that young fellow I met one
night at your house? lie seemed very sweet
on Lily."
"Oh, why John Doe's eldest son, a com
plate noodle."
"Just the fellow we want. Bring him
home again with you from the city; encour
age him. We will ploy off one against the
other."
"Lily won't look at him; she can't bear
him."
"All the better for the purpose we have
in view. Ask him home; show him favor
and attention, and leave the rest to me."
"Who is that dolt I find every evening
now at ninon's?" exclaimed Gray Kassel],
one day, as he hastily entered Murchisson's
office. "I um sick of his spoony face. Who
is he?"
"A great friend of Iluson's he tells me.—
There's no accounting for taste, but he
seems quite taken up with the fellow."
"But Lily doesn't like him. I am not
afraid of her ever doing so; but his presence
is a restraint upon every one but Huson."
"You say truly," answered Murchisson,
in reply to the first part of the other's speech,
"she does not like John Doe, but her father
does, and girls often consider that a. parent
has the right to direct them in those mat
ters."
"You don't mean to say that Lily Huson
would be forced to marry such a creature as
that?" cried the horror-stricken lover.
"I didn't say forced, my dear Russell.—
Let us be explicit about terms," said the
scrupulous Murchisson; "I meant that good
daughters are very obedient, and a father's
warmly expressed wish becomes a law with
many of them. Lily is a most excellent,
loving and dutiful child."
"The deuce!" exclaimed Gray, not in hor
ror of the girl's excellence, but at the idea
of what it might read to.
"You young fellows are a puzzle to me,"
said Murchisson, carelessly, at the same
time looking over some legal documents, as
if rather bored by, and indifferent to, the
whole affair. "Why not take and marry
her out of the way at once."
"Murchisson, I'll be candid with you.—
I don't like Huson. I've heard one or two
rather startling opinions drop from him of
late, that has made me anxious to study his
daughter a little more. Michas I love her,
I would not place a girl in what was my
mother's home, who had the slightest laxity
of principle in any way, even in thought."
"I knew Huson had put his foot iu it;
confound him !" thought Murchisson.
"Quite right, quite right, Russell," he
added aloud. "I honor your sentiment.—
You cannot be too guarded." Then to him
self, "I must see after a remedy for this
blunder. We shall have to put the screw on
John Doe."
And from that moment poor Gray could
not get within half a mile of Lily Ifuson.
that "confounded snob, John Doe, was al
ways at her elbow."
•'I tell you what it is, Hum," said Mar
chissun to his dear friend one evening, "your
want of caution has ruined all. I see noth
ing else for it but to make a victim of Lily,
luck her up to coerce her into a marriage
with Doe"—and he winked knowingly—
"that will bring Gray Russell to book if any
thing will."
"By jingo, I thought of that myself,"-
answered the father. "But where ? How?"
"Leave Unit to me. But, before we pro
ceed to the like extreme case, we'll give
Russell one mare chance. On Wednesday
you drive her in Gibbon's mail pineton to
the Derby; I'll make him lend it to me, he's
not going himself. Doe will be there, and
Russell to; we must manage for Doe, as if
by accident, to drive Lily home. If that
does'ut make the other propose, nothing else
will."
A cleverer scheme than the two concocted
mid not have been imagined, because they
had difficult cards to play with, but plans
of this kind are so finely set, like mouse
traps, that the turning of a hair will start
them off. John Poe had an idea that he
never looked so woll'as when mounted on a
tall horse. People say when a man sits ill
that he looks like a tailor on horseback: a
tailor would have been nothing to John Doe.
He had exactly the appearance of a monkey
in the ring at Astley's running a race on a
roodle. The least jerk made him seize his
horse by the mane, or grasp the pommel in
front.
The momentous Derby day arrived, a
lovely one it was, and, despite her many
annoyances lately at the persecution ofJobn
Doe, and the almost expulsion of Gray Rus
sell, Lily looked lovely, seated beside her
father in the mail nhmton, for she knew
Gray would be at the races, and it would
be so much easier to talk to hint there than
at home. She was almost cordial with John
Doe, who strove hard to amble by her side
OD his raw-boned horse, but the man and
the animal didn't• always agree on that
point, and the valorous John was rather
afraid to enforce his wishes. However, he
consoled himself with the idea that ho
should have it all his own way coining
home, and, as he thought he looked very
well, quite killing on horseback, he felt as
if but little remained besides to win him
Lily's sweet consenting yes. The drive
home would do it.
On Epsom Downs they arrived, and brave
ly entered the best place on the hill; which
all know, of course, is a long way from the
Grand Stand.
Murcliisson had combined every thing,
but ho did not go; he thought it better to
keep away—he had his own game to play.
'We cannot say who won the Cup, nor,
indeed, any of the stakes; we only know the
day was a "pet one" fur our climate at that
season, and Lily supremely happy, fur Gray
was constantly beside her; but then John
Doe and her father were so likewise. A
little annoyed with her at last, for what he
fancied something of coquetry on her part,
in even speaking to the other (lovers are so
unreasonable,) Gray Russell sauntered off
towards the Grand Stand. John Doe, who
had not quitted his tall horse, watched
whither he had gone, and then, unable to
resist the temptation of showing off his
horsemanship, and believing his rival se
cure from harming his cause with Lily, off
he went, at a sort of long canter, half trot,
half run, worthy the brute he bestrode and
his own equestrian art, towards the Grand
Stand.
"That fellow's on foot, and I'm on 'oss
back," thought cockney. "And before he
could get back, I'll return in Wand gallop."
We must give a sketch of Iluson'sscheme
to point our tale.
Lily was to be left by both her father and
John Due as soon as the races were nearly
over, and then, at a given point of the
course, as both would not leave her together,
for John was to go first, Hum to follum
him, they were to meet; Huson was to mount
the horse, and the other returning, was to
tell Lily that ho was to drive her off the
Downs, as her father was with a friend
waiting beyond the ring.
Thus she could not object; and once alone
with her, he felt his suit assured of success.
And lluson thought that certainly jealousy
must urge Gray then or never to propose.
We ought here to statb that Iluson was
making a complete catspaw of John Doe;
he never would have consented to his suit
with Lily if she, in the perversity of human
nature, had fallen in love with him; he cared
little about wounding the young man's offer.
tions, for even John Does have the like.—
Knowing well that Lily never would marry
him, Huson warmly espoused his cause, and
entered into every project, as he said, to
enable the other to win her. Poor Johnny
Doe!
It will seem very curious, but true, that
what they had all taken so much trouble to
combine (wetnean Lily's return without her
father,) another, without an effort of previ
ous thought, compassed.
I=
On sped John Due, and apornached the
grand stand as closely as possible. People
wore beginning to have their horses harness
ed to various conveyances, which created a
little confusion. With some difficulty, John
Doe induced his horse to approach the grand
stand entrance, and there, evidently in a
brown study, with arias folded, stood Gray
Russell.
Elate with self-conceit, and a victorious
sensation at heart, Johnny thought it
would be an excellent place to "take a rise"
out of that "spoony Russell," as he designa
ted him to himself—not beyond number
one, for fear of consequences from number
two.
"Alf, Mr. Russell," he cried. (he never,
somehow, could drop the "mister;") "you
look as if you'd lust. 'Are you?"
The other stared at him silently a moment,
as if hesitating how to take the words; but
there was not the ghost of an epigram in the
speaker's white fat face.
"Sot yet," answered Gray. quietly, but
with emphasis, as Le fixed his unblenching
eye upon him.
• 'Ope you won't that's all," Johnny good
naturedly responded.
"Don't think I shall," was the reply.
"Would you mind 'Wiling my 'arse a mo
ment?" asked Johnny, grown daring from
excitement and champagne. "The fact is,"
he continued, "there's a lady in the grand
stand to whom I promised to say "how d'ye
do to-day." That will "hare a good effeot
if ho tells Lily," thought Johnny.
Gray Russell looked as if hefelt rery much
inclined to eat him and bis horse too: but
suddenly the whole expression of his face
changed. Ile struggled bard to repress a
laugh, and said:
"Most wi lli ugly; and don't bu rry yourself.
What would this world be if we don't oblige
one another?"
"Well, really." said Johnny Doe to him
self, as he mounted the stairs of the grand
stand, "that Russell ain't such a bad feller,
after nil. Sorry I'm obliged to punish 'im
in the matter of Lily 'Gaon; but 'pen my
soul I can't help it; the gal likes me." •
And he fingered his neck-tie delicately.
Who is it speeding so quickly acres, the
course on a raw-boned steed? Surely—yes,
'tis Gray Russell ! And he laughs as he
rides, nor draws re% till he finds himself
beside the mail phmton, in which sits Lily
alone and looking alarmed.
ORNING, AUGUST 95, 186
"Oh, Mr. Reesell;" ehe cried, "how de-
lighted lam to see you. Papa went to look
for some one, here I am left alone with only
the groom. I feel terrified." And Lily
looked very pale.
"Pray, don't be alarmed," Gray said
tenderly; "there's nothing to fear."
"Why, that's Mr. Doe's horse!" she ex
claimed in surprise, and smiling—a lover's
presence so soon changes tears to smiles.
"Yes," answered Gray, laughing; "he
asked me to hold it, so I thought I might as
well mount it, too."
This was so archly said that Lily burst
into an irrepressible laugh, in which Gray
heartily joined.
Love's freemasonry—they understood each
other.
"If you please, air," interrupted the
groom, touching his hat, "the ostler has
brought the 'osses; am Ito put to?"
"Well, I think you'd better wait till Mr.
auson comes. They may be restive when
once harnessed to."
"Please, sir," uttered the man again,
lowering his voice, "I don't think Mr. 'Ligon
aas to come."
"Doesn't mean to come I" ejaculated Gray
in surprise.
The man beckoned him a little nqide
"You're a gentleman, sir, I see you are,"
was the whispered assurance, as Gray leant
towards him, "and I don't like to see no
tricks played."
"Tricks played 1 What do you mean?"
"Why this, sir, I hope you won't, please,
say I went and told you; but that poor dear
young lady—"
"Good heavens! what or her?" exclaimed
the alarmed Gray.
"Well, sir, I was round there by them'ere
sticks and dolls yonder—Haunt Sallys they
call them—when I 'eard Mr. 'Usen and that
gent as war on that 'ere 'oss a settling as
'ow the 'oss was to be left with a feller down
in the 'oiler yonder for Mr. 'Uson, and that
that 'crc chap as rid tho 'oss wur to come
back to the phaeton, and say as 'ow he war
to drive 'ome young miss, and so driveaway
with her."
"The —1 And anything wore?" be
asked.
"Well, no, sir," answered the groom.
The other put a handsome coin in hie
hand, promised secrecy, ordered the horses
to be put to, told Lily that her father was to
meet them outside, and that he would drive
her to him, which in nowise pained her; she
liked her charioteer.
It is a delicious wind-up of a Derby day
to go home with the man you love beside
you: Then Gray gave the raw-boned horse
to an ostler, and tuld him to take it in half
an hour to the grand stand, a gentleman
there would remunerate him handsomely for
doing so, and tell that same individual that
Mr. Gray Russell sent it with thanks for the
loan.
And off started the two spanking bays,
driven by the hnppy Gray Russell, with his
lovely Lily beside him.
"Where shall we meet papa?" asked Lily,
as they left Epsom Downs behind them, and
found themselves dashing along the road in
an exhilarating crowd of other carriage*,
dimly seen through clouds of dust. "Ile
must have gone on a great way before us,
and why did he go?"
Gray turned his head and looked fixedly
at her, at the risk of running against some
thing, or of being run ugainst in that
crowd.
"I don't know, I'm sure, where he is,"
Gray said, quietly.
"Don't know where papa is!" exclaimed
Lily.
"I haven't the slightest notion!"
"Where did he tell you to meet him, Mr.
Russell?" She was beginning to feel a little
amazed at his manner.
"Ile never told me anything at all, Miss
Hugon—Lily," he whispered, changing his
tone to one of tenderness, "can't you trust
me? I would shield you from harm with
the last drop of my blood."
"I would indeed freely trust you," and
she looked up so confidingly in his face,
"but there is something strange in this affair
which alarms me. Tell me truly, where in
papa?"
"I haven't' the slightest idea; I only know
he's quite safe."
"Oh, thank Heaven for that:"
"The fact is, Lily, that your father in
tended you to be driven home by that gaby
John Due. Lively Johnny was to have done
exactly what r did, that is, have driven you
off the course under pretense of meeting your
Gather, and to have had a let-a•tete with you
all the Tray."
"Surely," she cried, in a doubting, indig
nant manner, "papa was no party to such an
arrangement?"
"It was simply concocted between him
and John Duo, only I ran away with the
latter's horse when he left me to hold it,
and frustrated all the scheme, which a
friend told me was in a projected state."
"And what duos papa wish me to do?"
she asked, and then quickly responded to the
question by the doubt, "Surely not to marry
John Doe?"
"You cannot have been blind to his in
tentions on that score. Idly, for a long time
past."
"I do assure you," she said earnestly,
"that I only thought papa. liked Mr. Doe
because he fancied him simple, good-natured
young man."
"But he's very well off, Lily: nay, will be
very rich when his father dies; the John
Dues carry on a most extensive business In
the world."
$1,50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE; $2,00 IP NOT IN ADVANCE.
"I don't care, I'll never marry him, ,Ir.
Russell," Lily said petulantly, amazed at
his urging her, as she fancied, to marry
another.
Iler eyes filled with tears; she drew down
her veil to conceal them, muttering some
thing about the dust.
Gray Russell, despite the imprudence of
the act in that crowd, looked long and ear
nestly in the downcast face beside him.
"Well, then," he said, "I may conclude
that you would not marry Mr. Doe, rich as
he is."
"What wealth could ever make me a love
a man with whom I have not one idea in
common, Mr. Russell?" she asked, just
glancing up in his face, and then quickly
added. "but pray let us drop the subject."
"I cannot, Lily, for I wanted to know de
cidedly about Ms. Doo before I told you of
some one else who loves you. I promised
that you should know it. Poor fellow, he
wishes you to be conscious of thoughts
which ever follow you, idle fancies and day
dreams, in which you are as his queen, be
loved, respected—ay, and loved, too as a
woman; for who may reckon the wayward
hearts which fix their fruitless affections on
a being, woman in all her feelings, yet who
holds the sceptre; woman in all her loveli
ness, but who reigns above them as an em
press or a queen? Lily, the one I speak of
—I dare not plead for him—is poor, tn.-
worthy of you, except for the lore he bears.
fur you should possess wealth, power—a
host to do you homage—if your rare beauty
were balanced against all these."
"I'd rather marry the man I loved, were
he iu abject poverty, if worthy my esteem,
and toil and labor with him, than be an
empress, and not love!" cried the impetuous
heart by Lily's rosy lips as she looked up in
Gray Russell's face with kindling eyes,
which had, with their burning flashes, dried
up her tours.
"Then there may be some hope for my
friend?" he asked. "Poor, proud, but I
may say honorable in all things—may he
hope?"
"I don't know him now, so I could never
love him."
"Why not, Lily?"
"I never rhould," ahe impatiently am
we red."
"To be so sure of not loving him, one
might almost imagine you loved already.—
Is it so?"
*'l do not understand," she uttered, in a
low, tearful voice, "by what right Mr. Rus
sell probes my heart as ho is doing. I once
more beg that this conversation may
cease."
"No, Lily, it cannot; not till I have told
you of a poor attorney's clerk who loves you,
would toil for you, struggle to rise, if you
were to bo his reward. Him you do know.
What may I say to him?"
"What's his name?" she whispered, look
ing down; but there was such a glad ex
pression instantaneously came over her
face that Gray had the very greatest diffi
culty in restraining himself from flinging
down the reins, reckless of all consequences,
the better to clasp Lily to his heart. As it
was he did forget himself sufficiently to
take his reins and whip in one hand, and
with the right one, "hands across," clasp
one of hers.
It did not burst away indignantly, neither
did it essay to creep from his grasp, but
soft, plump and warm, it lay in hi', like a
sleeping infant's in its mother's.
It was an exquisite moment. Lily didn't
ask the "poor clerk's" name again, and
Gray Russell was in imminent danger of
forgetting all about his horses in his ex
citement and delight, at the race Ito had
won.
Ile was aroused to a recollection of where
he wns by a gruff voice just beside him ex-
claiming.
"I say, you swell there, leave the gal
alone, and look to your 'asses, can't yer?
jist see where yer a goin to.'"
He was just going, polo foremost, into the
back of another carriage.
lie heard a titter from the groom behind,
and ho bent dawn and whispered to Lily,
who was all confusion:
"Your poor clerk, Lily dearest, ought to
stick to his pen, and leave horsemanship to
others."
She peeped up archly in his fi►co, but slie
did'nt ask what was the name of her poor
clerk; indeed I feel sure my readers will
agree with me in thing she had no necessity
to do so.
And thus they came to the end of their
journey, but before it was quite terminated
and Lily dropped safely at her door, she
bad said everything that was consoling to
the one beside her, and though she doomed
it better to say good-bye at the door-step,
Gray Russell went away content; nay, more
full of hope and joy!
Ile and Lily had agreed, so blind was she
to her fathers real wishes, that it would be
best fur awhile toconcenl their engagement,
for engaged they were; a little faltering
"yes" had done it.

Proverbs of all Nations
If proverbs handle lawy!r and doctors
severely. they are not more then lenient to
the "clergy." The Scotch, German and
Spaniards, seem to have suffered most from
the clergy. judging by the following:
MM=ll
Crows are very wary, and the clergy are
vindictive; therefore, it is ticklish work try
ing to get the better of either. "Oae must
[WHOLE NUMBER 1,566
either not meddle with priests or else smite
them dead," say the Germane; and Huss,
the Bohemian reformer, in denouncing the
sins of the clergy of his day, has preserved
for us a similar proverb of his countrymen t
"If you have offended a clerk, kill him, else
you will never have peace with him."—
"The bites of priests and wolves are hard to
heal" (German.) "Priests and women never
forget" (German). . . . Popular opio-
ion attributes to the clergy, both secular
and regular, a lively regard for the good
1 things of this life, and determination to
have their full share of them. "No priest
ever died of hunger," is a remark naw.le by
the Lironians; and they add, "Give the
priests all thou halt, and thou wilt have
giv . en there nearly enough." "A priest's
pocket is hard to fill," at least in Denmark;
and the Italians say that "Priests, monks,
nuns and poultry, never have enough."—
"Abbot of Cuzuela," cries the Spaniard,
"you eat up the stew, and you ask for the
stew-pan." The worst testimony against
the monastic orders comes from the coun
tries in which they most abound: "Where
friars swarm, keep your eyes open" (Span
sh.) "Have neither a good monk for your
friend, or a bad one for an enemy" (Span
iish.) "As for friars, live with them, eat
with them, walk with them, and their sell
them, fur thus they do themselves," (Span
ish.) The propensity of churchmen to
identify their own personal interests with
the welfare of the church, are glanced at in
the following: "The monk that begs for
God's sake, begs for two" (Spanish, French.)
"Oh, what we must suffer for the Church of
God!" cried the abbot, 'whon the roast fowl
burnt his fingers" (German.)
"There's no tni,elliel dons in the world, but there,
wormun or a mind at the bottom of tV'
Since the press - has become so powerful,
and in a measure displacing the public
mouth-pieces of old, we should like to add
the words, or an editor, after the word
priest.
Last, but not least, come the proverbs on
"Women, Lore and Marriage."
'What's sauce for the goose is sauce (or the gander..
This is an Englishvromaa's proverb. The
Italian sisterhood complain that "In men
every mortal sin is venial; in women every
venial sin is mortal." These are almost the
only proverbs relating to women in which
justice is done to them, all the rest being
manifestly the work of the unfair sex:
a woman were as little at the Is good,
A pea•cod would make her a gown and a hood."
This is Ray's version of an Italian
slander. The Germans say, "Every woman
would rather be handsome than good;" and
that, indeed, "There are only two good wo
men in the world: one of them is dead, and
the other is not to be found." The French,
in spite of their pretended gallantry, haie
the coarseness to declare that "A man of
straw is worth a woman of gold;" and even
the Spaniard, who sometimes speaks words
of stately courtesy toward the female sex,
advises you to "Beware of a bad woman, and
put no trust in a good one."
"The crab of the wood is sauce very good
l'or the crab of the sea;
llm'he woad of the crab to sauce for a drab
That will not her husband obey."
"A spaniel. a woman. and a walnatdree,
The more they're beaten the better they be."
There is Latin authority for this barbarous
distich. The ltulians say, "Women, asses
and nuts, require rough hinds." Muoh
wiser is the Scotch adage—
:1e may ding the deli into a wife, but ye'll ne'er ding
bun out o' her."
, Take your wife's first advice, and not her second!'
The French make the rule more general,
"Take a woman's first advico," . etc. There
is good reason for this if the Italian proverb
is true, "Women are wise off-hand, and
fools on reflection?' They have less logical
minds than mon, but surpass them in quick
ness of intuition, having, says Dean Trench,
"what Montaigne ascribes to them in a re
markable word l'esprit prints-saucier—the
loorard's spring which takts its prey, if it
be to tnke it at all, at the first bound."—
"Summer-sown corn and women's advice
turn out well once in seven yenrs," say the
Germans; and the Spaniards hold that "A
women's coun.cl is no great thing, but he
who does not take it is a fool." In Servia
they say, "It is sometimes right even to
obey a sensible wife;" and they tell this
story in elucidation of the proverb. A
Ilerzegovinian once asked a Nadi whether
a man ought to obey his wife, whereupon
the Nadi answered that he need not do so.
The llerzegovinian then continued: "My
wife pressed me this morning to bring thee
a pot of' beef-suet, so I have done well in
not obeying her." Then said the Ksdi
"Verily, it is sometimes right even to obey
a sensible wife."

makes it probable that it was never natura
