This is one day's history in Mrs.
Lundv's life. Need we be stanled when
told that her husband was killing her by
inches? adds the author.
But no one suspected this, nt even Mr.
Lundy himself. The idea that he was
munleriiiff hi wife by a slow and cruel
death, would have shocked him; and he
would have felt the intimation ol such a
thini- n an unpardonable utrase. And";

schemes of gain, and rigid in ins i.onons
of order, punctuality and formal propric-.
ties, had no real sv month V for his "wife.
and was ever complaining of the Utile
irregularities incident to his household,
and ever adding to, intead of relieving the
oppressive, wearying and ever recurring
duties that were bearing her down. It
was a common thing for himself, robust,
and in high health, to sit in his easy
chair, with. dressing gown and slippers,
and ask his tired wife, who could scarcely
move without feeling pain, to hand him
this, that or the other thing; to ting the
bell for the servant, or even to go to their
chamber and bring him something from a
drawer to which he was not willing that
a domestic should go.
Meeker, more patient, more loving in
