UNLIKE, YET LIKE There is a blue which paints the sea at morning, When skies are bright and treacherous breezes fair There sea-gulls sail, the snowy wavelet scouring, And out-with tireless wing the fragrant air : A darker - hue in solemn distance warning, Where gallant fives have grappled with despair. How : like the ey r e of Woman, ead and tender, Revealing, hiding all her heart•profound ; Telling of storms from which no walls defend her, Or of some trust the tempest boo not found ; Flashing inlove's bright morn with burning spice dor, • Or darkening where some mighty hope went down There is a blue the distant mountain folding, When autumn sun-sets linger on the height; The oraggy outline all to beauty moulding, As slowly robing for the coming night : A solemn court the giant monarch holding Above the world, , in lone, majestic night. Bo looks the eye of him whose patient seeking Beholds bow all thin , their order stand : No idle vengeance o the sinful wreaking, lie strives to find what ighty Love has planned To him the earth, in myriad voices speaking, Tolle of a glorious thought in structure grand. But looking upward from the waters glancing, And from the mountain, solemn and at rest, Above the clouds in gOlden radiance dancing, Behold a blue, the beauteous and the beet! A sapphire path o'er which the coursers prancing, Bear Phoebus onward to the glowing West. O Eyes of Childhood ! with thy blue supernal, Fair, countless world- are is thine azure deeps: As spring hides summer 'south her vesture vernal, As skies hold stars and suns while nature sleeps : What promise fair, what gleams of hope eternal The gazer finds, and choice the vision keeps. THE PEACEFUL WAITING A little longer yet, a little longer, Shall violets bloom fur thee and sweet birds sing Arid the lime branches, where soft winds are blow ing, Shall murmur the sweet promise of the spring. A little longer yet, a little longer, Thou shalt behold the quiet of the mom; While tender graeles and awakeningellowera Send up a golden tint to greet the dawn. A little longer yet, a little longer, The tenderna=s of twilight shall be thine, The rosy clouds that float o'er dying daylight, To fade till trembling stars begin to shine. A little longer yet, a little longer, Shall starry night ho beautiful to thee And the cold moon shall look through the blue si lenge, Flooding her silver path upon the aoa. A little longer yet, a little longer, Life shall be thine—life with its power to will, Life with its strength to bear, to love, to conquer, Bringing its thousand joys thy heart to fill. A little longer still—patience, beloved ! • A little longer still, ere Heaven unroll The glory, and the brightness, and the wonder, Eternal and Divine, that wuit thy soul. A little longer ere life true, immortal, (Not this our shadowy life.) will be thine own, And thou shalt stand where winged archangels worship, And, trembling, how before the great white throne. A little longer still, and Heaven awaits thee, And fills thy spirit with a great delight. Then our pale joys will seem a dream forgotten, Our sun a darkness, and our day a night. A little longer, and thy heart, beloved, Shall beat forever with a love divine, And joy so pure, so Mighty, so eternal, No mortal knows and lives shall then be thine A little longer yet, and angel voices Shall sing in heavenly chant upon thino ear, Angels and-saints await thee, and God needs thee Beloved, can we bid thee linger here?

TEN YEARS AGO BY • DAISY HOWARD We stood in the gloaming, Willie and I, listening to the wind sighing among the trees, and to the beating of our hearts.— We stood there silently, fearing to trust ourselves to speak, for we were to part in just one hour for three long years! We bad agreed to bear this parting calmly ; but it is no light thing to part calmly from your only friend. Willie thought so, too, for the deep eyes that looked down into mine were unutterably sad, and the proud lips trembled like a woman's. I had, striven for strength all day, long., but now I trembled, and should have fallen if 1 had stood another mo ment. We sat down silently, each heart faint with the anguish that must not be spoken. The stars came out one by one, and stood sentinel in the very spot where they had stood on other nights, when I was happy. When I was happy !" flow long ago that seemed. I felt to-night as though never could be happy again; and looking beyond the floating clouds, I wondered if nay precious mother could see he' child— could know her heart was aching !—my loving mother th;,t two months before had gone to dwell in that g , Beautiful city" that lay beyond those fluted pillars ! • We sat on the steps of my old home, which, after mother's death, had been sold, and was now unoccupied. 1 had stolen down here to say good-bye to Willie. I was governess now in a fine house in town, and in all that palace-like mansion there was not a spot where I could meet my dar ling. I wish 1 had not written that word rf darling," but somehow it seems as if it springs unconsciously to one's lips in speaking of ones they love and in all this wide sivorld I loved only Willie ! We safi on the old steps, battling for the strengi.h each so sorely needed. A pleasant summer wind was blowing, drift ing a shower of leaves from the white rose bush that was planted the day I was born. I almoSt wished we could die there and be covered with the pure leaves, like the "Babes in the Wood." Willie was the first to regain his calm nOss, for' he was older and stronger than While he talked of the necessity of this parting, I could only think of the dreary to-morrow, and of how I could ever live without him. Willie was poor, and so .was -I; and he could not get anything to do hero -- that`tiorddikelplim to_grow rich ; so he accepted the situation of tutor to a rich man's son, the said son being on the eve of departure to Italy, where he was to remain for three years. . * a * a IF And now the solemn old town-clock rang out the hour of ten, and at eleven Willie must be g afloat.' 4 Ten o'clock ! is it possible ? Come, Clare, we must go.' Go where 1 0 that we could go to gether ! 0 Willie ! how can I see you go ?' Do not grieve, darling ; it unnerves me, and I have need.. of all my strength to-night. .0h ! Clare, it is almost more than I can bear to leave you and this dear old home, where I wooed and won you.' He stooped down, and gathering a hand ful of the white rose-leaves that had drift ed like a snow-wreath at our feet, he pressed them to his lips, and then folded them in between the leaves of a little pocket Bible that I had given him the night before. Our parting words had been said long before ; so he only raised me up; and folding me to his heart, pressed a last kiss upon lip, cheek, and brow, then he left me. I flung myself down, and lay upon the earth till the night dews pene trated my thin garments and sent shiver ings over ,my weary frame. I then flung my shawl over my head, and passed rapid ly to my new home. Once there, I had, no time for thought, for the children I had care of were waiting to be put to bed, and their mother had grown impatient at my long delay. I un dressed each little form and laid it to rest ; and then I was free, as my two older pu pils were in the dressing-room with their mother. I sat down by the window, alone with my wretchedness, and tried hard to rea son myself into calmness. But, alas ! was powerless to banish thought and mem ory. A kind face would come between me and the starry sky, and a rich voice kept saying, ' Good-bye, Clare.' There was no one to call me darling now. I belonged to no one ; nobody owned me ; I was only Clare Summer field, the poor governess! From very weariness I laid my head upon my pillow, feeling that I was indeed alone. This was ten years ago. To-night I sit writing in the same home, Clare Summerfield still. To-morrow lam to take a new name, and—but I must not anticipate. After Willie left, I toiled my days out, and watched my nights out, as I had done the night we parted. Then came his long, loving letters ; and carrying them next my heart, I grew happier. The first year was one of dreary unap preciated toil. After that my employers grew to love me, and the children loved me, too. I will not weary you by relating my every day life. Suffice it to say that the weeks and months rolled on till the third year of waiting drew near its close. hen a new sorrow filled my heart; for suddenly his letters ceased, and for months I heard no tidings of him. Then came the stunning news that lie was married ! George Leland, the son of my employer, had a letter from a friend in Rome, giving him an account of the wedding. After this, 1 knew nothing for many weeks ; and when I recovered, they told me I had had a brain fever. After that the days and weeks passed uncounted. I did not heed the flight of time. I lived in a kind of stupor, caring only to fulfil my duties faithfully, and render a full equivalent for the money paid rue. Doubtless the family knew of my sor row, for they were strangely kind to me ; even George seemed as though he could not do enough to make me less sad. The girls, too, treated me with the tenderness of sisters. 1 yielded myself passively to their guidance, for the heart must have some oue to love, and kindness is never so precious as after some great sorrow. When I had been an intimate of Mr. Leland's home five years, the two elder girls, Mary and Louise, were married ; and from that time I became as an own child in the house. Then three more years passed away, when an event happened that destroyed, for a time, the sweet borne feeling 1 was beginning to feel. This is how I came about. The family had all gone to the opera, leaving me alone, as I had a headache, and did not wish to go. I was standing by the window, lost in thought, when I was startled by an arm stealing gently around my waist, and turn ing quickly, I stood face to face with George Leland. Oh, George ! how you frightened me. I thought, you had gone to the opera.' He did not notice my remark, but pass ing his hand onco or twice over my hair, said : Your curls are beautiful, Glare ; and you are beautiful to me.' There was something in the tones of his voice that set my heart to fluttering, and sent the hot blood surging through my veins. I said, quickly : You are pleased to be complimentary to-night, my brother.' Do not call me your brother Clare.— I am not your brother.' And then he poured forth a hurried tale of love that distressed me beyond mea sure. I told him that I could not love him, that he was a brother to me, and no more. But he would take no denial, saying he would wait years, if I would only be his wife at last ; that he had waited years, for he had loved me from the first, and many times the confession trembled upon his lips, but he feared to risk the story of his love till time had destroyed my love for Willie. That night I passed more wretch edly than any night for years. Next day, Mr. and Mrs. Leland both talked to me, saying they loved me as their own child, and begged me to be indeed their child. Though distressed, to seem ungrateful I told them I could not be his wife ; that I had loved William Halstead from a child, and though he had proved false, there was for me no second lovings. I now felt that I must leave my present home, for I could not live under the same roof with George Leland. But this they would not hear of ; George was going'far away, with his uncle, and I must remain and be a daughter to them, in affection if not in name. So it was arranged, and I breathed more freely when he was gone. Then things settled back in their old way, and once more I was happy---no, not happy, happiness and I had parted long ago, but I was, Oontent, Two years had drifted away into the by " THAT COUNTRY IB THE mon PRORPAROUB WHIM LABOR 00111IAND8 TER GRIATUT BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1863 gone. In those years I had learned much —among other things, to suffer and be strong.' I was no longer the sensitive girl that had bartered her whole life's hap piness away for love, and lost. I was a woman now, strong and self reliant, with all an outraged woman's ram pant pride to hold in check ; all her many, many memories to ignore. I had fought a desperate battle with my own heart, and came off conqueror. I had entered my room one night, determined to destroy every relic of my faithless lover. Then I was to forget him ; that was the plan. I had a picture of him, that I had hung in a large closet in my room, to keep it from other eyes. It was like many of the old fashioned closets, with shelves at one side, and a window at the other. There was room for my little tables and workstand, and there 1 had been wont to dream my dreams. Now it was different, and for many long months—ay, years—it had been closed and locked ; like the love-dream at my heart, it must see the light no more. On the night in question, I unlocked the door and entered. I had determined to destroy every token of the wild dream that had. brought me so much misery. The sight of the bright face hanging there almost maddened me. The firelight shone full upon it. At first, it seemed to smile down tenderly upon me, and I thought the beautiful lips whispered, Darling Clare.' Then either my mood changed or the picture did, for I aould have sworn the handsome mouth grew haughty, and the dark eyes flung taunting glances down upon me, while the words forsaken, fore saken,' rang in my ears. I snatched up a heavy paper-weight, and though when I raised my hand to strike, the old, pleading look seemed to come into the face, I dashed the weight right through the dear eyes I had once loved, shivering the picture to atoms. Then there were letters to be destroyed, and a curl of glossy hair, that had been given to me when a school girl, a few faded flowers, and a ruby ring ; and 1 destroyed them. Then I flung up the window and sat down, in the bitter, mid-winter night, feeling that a wall of ice was built up between me and the only one I ever loved. My lip curled scornfully, as I thought of the past. Talk about meek women, indeed ! I felt that night as if I had the strength of a thousand men. I felt like some triumphant general. I had won a great victory ! Two more years drifted away. It was my twenty-eighth birthnight, and I stood before the mirror robing for a grand recep tion to be given at the house of Judge Stanmore. I was indifferent as to my toilet generally ; caring little at any time for dress. Why should I, when no loving eye would look upon me ?—no father, mother, sister, or brother in all the earth ! But to-night it was different ; there were to be some distinguished strangers present from transatlantic shores, and I must make a mere careful toilet than usual. I deba ted a little while—an unusual thing for me —between ts€dresses, a black velvet and a rich white satin. At last I decided in favor of the velvet ; the sombre color suited my sombre heart best. It seemed strange that I who had felt no thrill of vanity for years, should be vain to-night; did it not ? I combed out my long hair, and brushed it into heavy Rrls, gathered them into a knot behind, an thrusting a jewelled bobkin into the skinint mass, left them to trail over my neck. Black,as singularly becoming to me to-night i ,yor my cheeks and lips were a vivid crimson, and my eyes flashed like diamonds. The rich black dress showed off my white neck and - round arms to good advantage— rounded for all my eight and twenty years. I suppose I was called an old maid ;' women of eight and twenty generally are ; I believe. The close-fitting bodice, with its berthc of rich lace, covered a bleak and barren heart. But what did it matter ? the world did not know it. 1 wore no jewels, save a tiny diamond star, that flashed and gleamed above my forehead—the gift of Mrs. Leland. Read er, do you know for whom this toilet was making ? Among the distinguished stran gers from abroad was William Halstead, one of the most popular authors of the day. The rooms were crowded ; but among all the many faces I saw only his face.— His face was pale, and his eyes large and shadowy. lie had thought and studied his life out—that was plain to be seen.— But what need I care This William Halstead was nothing to me. A moment more, and we stood face to face. My heart gave a fierce bound ; I shivered, for I thought it was going to prove a traitor heart ; but in less than a moment it ceased its throbbings and grew still. I am happy to see you, Mr. Halstead.' He held out his hand, silently 5 but I took no notice of it; and as others came up to clasp the hand I had refused, I moved haughtily away. Later in the evening, I stood alone on the veranda, as far as I could possibly get from the sound of human voices. It was bitter cold. night wind blew keenly upon my uncovered neck and arms, but I did not heed it; it was not half so cold as the chill at my heart. I shuddered at the darkness of my future, wondering if I could bear it. The distant hum of voices added to my gloom. I moved farther into the shadow as a footstep fell upon the gravelled walk. It passed on, and once nitre I sank into revery. Same time must have ,passed, when a voice startled me. 6 Clare, this is madness, standing in the winter wind, without even a shawl about you. Mr. Leland is not over-careful of the treasure he has won.' I turned suddenly and met the dear eyes that, ten years ago this very night, had been dark with the anguish of our parting. ' For a moment my heart grew faint, and my limbs trembled; but, pride soon came to my aid. • ? You had better return to the drawing room, Mr. Halstead. Your wife will feel lonely among so many strangers.' 4 My wife, Mrs. Leland? What mean you?' Mrs. Leland 1 I can but ask, in re turn, what Mr. Halstead means ? Are you not the wife of Mr. George Leland, Clare No, sir ; I am Clare Summerfield still. But ere I return to the drawing-room, permit me to congratulate you upon your marriage.' Clare Summerfield, there is some dark mystery here. I have never been married —never loved any one but you—never— never ! I was to embark for America in , a 'fortnight, when a letter reached me from George Leland, saying you and he were to be married in a week, and inclosing wedding-cards done up in the usual dainty fashion. I need not tell you of the sor row that almost overwhelmed me. Here was the reason why, for two or three months, my letters remained unanswered.' I never received one of them. It was. George that told me of your marriage,' I said, hurriedly, a light beginning to break in upon my mind. Reader, I will not weary you by relat ing all,that passed between us ; suffice it to say, before we parted, all was explained. We found out the bitter wrong that had been done us ; bat for the sake of Mr. and Mrs. Leland, we resolved to bury the secret of their son's dishonor in our own breasts. It was a hard thing to do, when we thought of how much precious time had been lost in vain regrets ; that for ten long years our hearts had been aching, and we had been losing faith in mankind and wo mankind. Willie said he could forgive him, for it was his love for me that had caused him to sin ; that he did not blame him very much—he did not see how he could very well help loving me. I pressed my hand over his mouth, to shut in the flattering words ; but, dear reader, I will tell you, in confidence, that I felt just as proud and happy in hearing them as a woman could well be. Bat the little clock on the mantel tells me that it is creeping on into the wee sma' hours ;' and as I am to be married to-morrow, I must say good night. Lesson in Composition. A writer to the Y. Observer, relates the following of the late Dr. Murray, alias Kirwan :' Dr. Murray pursued his collegiate course at Williamstown, during the Presidency of that acute and accomplished critic, Rev. Dr. Griffin. In his fourth year he was brought into more immediate contact with the venerable President, whose duty it was to examine and criticise the written exercises of the graduating class. Dr. Murray, when a young man, and even down to the day of his last illness, wrote a free, round and beautiful hand—and his exercise at this time, which was "to-undergo the scrutiny of his venerated preaepr, had been prepared with uncommon neat— ness and accuracy. Dr. Griffin was accus tomed to use a quill or pen, with a very broad nib. Introduced into his august presence, young Murray, with becoming diffidence, presented his elegantly written piece for the ordeal. This discerning eye of the President passed quickly over the first sen tence, and with a benignant look, he turn ed to his pupil, and said in his peculiar way. 4 Murray, what do you mean by this first sentence 'l' Murray answered blushingly : mean so and so, sir.' 4 Then say so Murray,' and at the same time drew his heavy pen through line after line, striking ontlabout one-third of it. Having carefully read the next sen tence, the venerable critic again inquired : 6 Murray, what do you mean by this ?, He tremblingly replied : Doctor, 1 mean so and so.' Please just to say so,' striking out again about one-half of the beautifully written page. In this way, with his broad nib, (which made no clean mark) he proceeded to de face the nice clean paper of the youog col legian, so that at the close of the exercise, the erasures nearly equaled all that re mained of the carefully prepared manu script. This trying scene was not lost upon young Murray. He considered it one of the most important events of his college course. It taught hid to think and write concisely; and when he had anything to say, to say it, in a simple, direct, and in telligible manner. Indeed, much that distinguished him, as,one of our most vigorous and pointed writers, may be attributed to that early lesson, Say so, Murray.' A MOTHER.—By the quiet fireside of home, the true mother, in the midst of her children, is sowing, as in vases of earth, .the seeds or plants that shall sometimes give to heaven the fragrance of their blos soms, and whose fruit shall be as a rosary of angelic deeds, the noblest offering that she can make, the ever-ascending and ex panding souls of her children, to her Maker. Evpry word that she utters goes from heart to heart with a power of which she little dreams. Philosophers tell us, in their speculations, that He cannot lift a finger without moving the distant spheres. Solemn is the thought, but not more solemn to the Christian mother than the thought that every word that falls from her lips, every expression of her countenance, even the sheltered walk and retirement of home, may leave an indelible impression on young souls around her, and form, as it were, an underlying strain of that educa—. tion which peoples heaven. PUZZLED FOR AN EXCUEE.—Some years since, while the cholera was prevalent in Virginia, the inhabitants,especially the [le groes,were greatly alarmed. Among - othery was a negro boy, who, having heard his father say the cholera would soon be along that way, left his work one day and betook himself to the woods. Here he was found by his overseer, soon after, fast asleep.— Being taken to task for leaving his work, he excused himself on the ground that 'not being prepared to die, he had gone to the woods to meditate.' c But,' said the overseer, ' how was it that you went to sleep ?' c Well, don't know, massa, how dat was 'zaotly,' responded the negro, ' but I speok I must have overprayed myself'!' EIY A negro preacher was holding forth on Sunday, and in the course of his remarks said, Dar be two roads. De fust is a brought straight road leading to death and brimstone. De oder is a straight and nar row road leading to hell and damnation.' If dem be de fae,' shbuted Samba, rising from his seat, die are nigger's for de woods.' Ira" An Irish lawyer lately addressed the court as. , gentlemen' instead of your honors.' A brother of the bar reminded him of his error. He immediately rose to apologise thus : ' May it please the court, in the heat of debate 1 oalled your honors gentlemen. • I made & mistake; yer honors. Hosr CONVERSATION.—ChiIdren hun ger perpetually after new ideas, and the most pleasant way of reception is by the voice and ear, and not the eye and the prin ted page. The one mode is natural, the other artificial. Who would not rather listen than read 2 We do not nnfrequent ly pass by in the papers a full report of a lecture, and then go and pay our money to hear the self-same words uttered An an dianoe will listen closely from the be ginning to the end of an address, which not one in twenty of those present would read with the same attention. This is emphatically true of children. They will learn with pleasure from the lips of parents what they deem as drudgery to study in the book ; and even if they have the mis fortune to be deprived of the educational advantages which they desire, they cannot fail to grow intelligent, if they enjoy in childhood and youth the privilege of listen ing daily to, the conversation of intelligent people. Let parents, then, talk much and talk well at home. A father who is habit ually silent in his own house, may be, in many respects, a wise man, but he is not wise in his silence. We sometimes see parents, who are the life of every company which they enter, dull, silent, uninterest ing at home among their children. If they have no mental activity and mental stores sufficient for both, let them provide for their own household. It is better to instruct children and make them happy at home, than it is to charm strangers or amuee friends. A silent house is a dull place for young people—a place from which they will escape if they can. 1 hey will talk or think cf being ' shut up' there ; and the youth who does not love home is in danger. Make home, then, a cheerful and pleasant spot. Light it up with cheer ful, instructive conversation. Father, mother, talk your best at home, AN ORIGINAL DUEL.—OId Col. S., of Wisconsin,, was an odd genius, a queer compound of comic seriousness. Replete with jokes, both original and selected, he was not slow in hatching them up and deal ing them out in small doses on different occasions. One evening at a party, a young gentleman upon whom the colonel had told some cutting jokes, feeling him self insulted, challenged the colonel to mortal combat. The challenge was ac cepted. Having the choice of weapons and the appointment of the place of meeting, the colonel told the young man to repair the following morning at six o'clock to a cer tain spot, and added, that he would see that the weapons were there.' The fol— lowing morning, at the indicated time, the young man repaired to the indicated spot ; said spot being among the lead mines, was naturally furrowed with mineral holes.— Well, youngster,' said the colonel, stick ing his handa in his pocket and ejecting a superfluous quantity of tobacco juice from his capacious mouth, are you ready ?'— Receiving an affirmative answer, he contin ued : ' Here's where we are to fight,' indicating a mineral shaft near by, which was at least fifty feet deep, and here are our weapons,' pointing to a pile of rocks. Your'er to go down that ar hole and throw rocks up, and I'm to stay up and throw rocks down., It is needless that the challenge was withdrawn. THE TRUTH OF HISTORY VINDICATED!- LINCOLN gets off the following piece of ex— traordinary philosophy in his last message, to wit : 4 It is not so easy to pay something as it is to pay nothing, but it is easier to pay a large sum than it is to pay a larger one, and it is easier to pay any sum when we are able than it is to pay it before we are able.' We insist that the idea embraced in the foregoing is not original with ABE, but that it legitimately belongs to BEN LUCAS, whose oddities are so familar to this com— munity. Sitting at a table of a hotel one day, when no one happened to be disposed to engage in conversation, BEN, in = his stuttering style gravely inquired of a stranger sitting next him whether he knew what would make more noise than a pig fast under a fence. The stranger replied with an emphatic No! BEN.—T-t-t-two f-f-f-fast un der a f-f-f-fence ! And from this anecdote ABE must have borrowed all his philosophy. A GOOD EXAMPLE.—A pastor was ma— king a call on a parishioner, an old lady, who had made an habitual rule never to speak ill of another, and had observed it so closely that she always justified those whom she heard evil spoken of. Before the lady made her appearance in the parlor several of her children were speaking of her peculiarity, and one of them playfully added— Mother has such a habit of speaking well of everybody, that I believe if Satan himself were the subject of conversation, mother would find out some virtue or good quality even in him.' Of course this remarked elicited some smiling and merriment at the originality of the idea, in the midst of which the old la dy entered the room, and on being told what had just been said, immediately and involuntarily replied-- Well, my dear children, I wish we all had Satan's industry and perseverance.' Bill H—took a jug to the shop and asked for a gallon of whiskey. He gave his promise to pay for it on the spot. The jug was not empt . But he stated that he had already bought a quart, but wished the concern filled as fall as it could hold. When the gallon was poured into the jug the money was not poured out of Bill's pocket, for the latter was as empty as the former was fall. Promises to pay were not received, and the grocer poured the gallon back again into the measure, leaving Bill to truge off with his quart of rum, not much worse for the little water with which it was diluted. The grocer's gallon was a little weaker, but Bill's quart had become a great deal stronger. 1:1' A chap out west named Barnes, who had made a speech at a war meeting, was criticised in the village paper, which said it was a very patriotic address but the speaker, slandered Lindley Murray awfully. The nest day Barnes wrote a note to the editor, declaring he never knew such a man in his life as Lindley, Murray, and therefore could not have slandered him. Mrs. Barnes, the wife, being at a tea party, also took up the cudgel for her husband, when the matter was discussed, by dealer— Murray - began it by abusing her husband, and got as hegave-P m T HE.
