at a I’.ous.- in (Ireen street of a character t.i render

moral th:it it tf-achc^i is fearful. A family was
seated arout.d a table vtig:ige-} ii> ordinar\ conver

hiL'b, ami the mother attempted to quell the
disturbance. In turn she was uia.ie the olject
of their anger, atid while the heated blood was
finding vent in words the parent ar t.-je from her
s“at and once more interposed. Ir was of n •
avail, and the parties nearly came to blow- At
that mc.meut, while fr.im her own ehidren coals

she suddenly sunk down drud, und her las*^ breath
wa- drowned by the aiii;ry voices if her otf-.pring.
