Every papers circumstance of the union, as is often ed list. the case, gave promise of harmony and of the happiness for the lives united; the bus- in Red band was in thriving business; the wife‘ was fair, devoted, and an admirable housekeeper, and the friends of both predicted for them that, long should they live, happy should they be, blest with content, and from misfortune free.

She drifted into the lives of 1 the two mated ones introduced above, and, with no more effort than such 5 tempters generally seem to make, caught the husbands heart and wove an in- extricable web around it. The wife blinded he1self to the unhappy event so long as she could, hoping against hOpe tor the man’s final strength to break how the spell cast over him, but, at last, wounded honor and aflection could be silent no longer, and wife spoke to husband as was her right.
