In regard to hisever becoming a drunkard, she had as hittle fear as of his running off aud leaylng her, Still, when she made this last remark, she looked toward him (forhe was present) with a stern and significant expression on her countenance, This was not really meant for him ; but for the imaginary individaal she had supposed &s bearing the relation foward her of a Grunkea husband. “You would, would you!” Mr. Peters re »plied, to the warmly expressed resolution uttered by his w “y “that I would!” half lauzghincly and ha Tiously retorted Mrs. Peters. «You don’tknow whatyou aretalking avout,” evoke Mrs. Grimes. «Indeed, then, Ido!
