he was constrained when we were alone. I
imagined thit he feared I would renew the

that. I had discovered a great gulf, unsus-

self. My life was placed' In a new groove,
and did not-perhaps never would—run
easily in it, and that odious gossip had given
the first impetus. I believe my hands trem-
bled a little when IAunlocked the post-bag" on

for Charles, but a note frdm Mrs. Dalton,
asking me to call as soon is I could. I gave
it to him without a" remark. He put it in his

this so-callod misalliance,hts 11s,, with all
his wealth, had been made most miserable.
IColou‘cl Price, he said, had acted honestly
and conscientiously all the way through,
and he felt satisfied that the courts would
finally do him justice
Several staggering and no doubt knock-
down blows were given by Mr. Hill to thi.
splendid piece of legal statuary, when
Judge Davis said he would give his
nncxstox ON 'rnrc horror!
at once. He began by announcing the fact
that the whole cfi'ort seemed to be to get
rid of two when by. a single shot. This
joke meeting with becoming appreciation,
he proceeded to review the effects of Judge
Brady’s order, which left the case as it
originally stood between Mr. Price and
wife" No. 2. Mrs. Price No. 8 was out of
the order—went out on her own motion,
“without money and without price"—-a
Scriptural quotation the aptnIess of which
was at once seen and properly "appreciated-
Ho next called attention to the recent argu-
ment in the Supreme Court, General Term,
on the appeal from Judge Brady’ s order.
This appeal had dragged wife No. 8 into
the litigation, and it was evident she was
entitled to the expense of conducting the
litigation in her behalf. He would direct
an order for $500 counsel foes; but the
question of alimony was one that must
come up for consideration after the decision
in the Supreme Court, General Term.

Our readers will appreciate the following ‘

Ah l those rare wonders of conuubial life,
IA model husband and a model wife, ,
The former first shall be my pleasing theme,
IV saw the man, one morning—in a dream;-
VA noble fellow, not extremely tall;
Not of an air to grace a fancy ball; I
But rosy and robust; and one might trace
Gender and kindness' In his manly face;
E’en' 1n his features you could plainly scan
The faithful lover and the'gcntloman. .
One marvel more for skeptics, be it known,
The wife he loved and cherished was" his
own. - '

To name at once the model husband test.
I says the man, you know ’tyvas 1n a dream,

The hardest crisis of :connubial lifo- ,

And, without, swearing, find a button gone.
