But repetition my continued the imperturbable mrs Williams who had now some slight misgivings about abstinent habits of husband do you not see that Vyp tuition is the Reat and Billy Road that can in Aero the love of it v "1 shall merely taste with them said he with the same Sang Froid of manner much More bad been seen and Felt by his for he was now Seldom and More Sel Dom at his own fireside More and much More she could Tell the gradations of the the repeating and the intervening the withering though gradual m Indence u had had on the heart of him she oved an4 which once she deemed her own fes More and much More she could Tell for it bad dried up the sympathies of her Osband and his smile which once could Lave dried up her bitterest t a had been first indifference and now buried in a frown from which no smile on her was Ever seen to Dawn.

Much less did she calculate that the sacred Bond would be unto her As the Millstone Laid on love s lightest dreams. This incident might not _ however been told except to slow that in proportion As drink dried up the heart of the Hus a More than equal ratio were the tears of the wife left to dry up themselves. It was at no Distant period from perhaps Ere thrice the marriage Moon had waxed and wept again and in fwd not be addled that the cause of her weeping was some Peculiar aggravation attendant on one of those indulgences which Hayes just been alluded to and in the tear for which the Lover bad anticipated so much de Light. Again indeed he kissed his wife but verily he tear seemed no Gem in his but this was while he yet tarried by wicket so if in after years the hopeless wife in the fullness other heart i so Silil Buist into tears the drink stricken husband now embraced her not neither Reck the nature or number of her tears. But As the period now referred to was not in the by ginning neither was it at the end ing of his conjugal declension. Maria it should be said was.
