They ' wrap them in bundles, and carry them home to shadow their lnraseholda. It was so with the young husband on Oriaparticulsr occasion.

To hide the tsars that caine rushing to her eyes, she turned away from her husband; and, to conceal the sobs she had no power to repress, she went almost.hurriedly from the room, and, going back to the chamber, from whenoe she had brought the present, she laid the articles away out of srght in a closet Then covering her face with her hands, she eat down, and strove with herself to be ealm. But the shadow ml too deep, the heartache too hewvy.
