LOCAL NEWS
That Ficsht.—We are requested
by Mr. Nickeson to say that it was not
at his Foundry that the fight, men
tioned in our issue of last week, oc
curred.
Neuralgia. — We find in Dr.
King’s New Drug Store what is said
to be it remedy for that mast distress
ing of all diseases, neuralgia. It is an
oil prepared by Dr. M. A. Daniel.
Sale op Real Estate.—We learn
that the valuable bouse and lot in
which the family ot Mr. S. A. Atkin
son now resides, the property of Miss
Reese, was sold yesterday, at private
sale, for $3,000.
Fight.—Last night, about 7 o’clock,
there was a fight in Cat Alley. The
parties were promptly arrested by the
police, but were all released upon a
promise to appear before His Honor^
the Mayor, to-day.
Augusta, Atlanta and Macon
Papers.—We owe thanks to the pro
prietors of the papers of these cities
for their dailies. We receive them
regularly and they arc welcome visitors,
ji for they are always freighted with some
thing goal.
Cow Killed.—Tuesday night last,
the down train from this place ran
over a cow a short distance this side of
Union Point, and killed her immedi
ately. The train was going pretty
fast, and the cow was not seen until
they were too near her to take up. We
hear that no blame can be attached to
the engineer, Mr. Calhoun, who is a
very prudent and careful gentleman.
The AldinE.—The back numbers-
of this first-class paper came safe to
our office. The engraving are superb,
and the reading matter of a highly in
tellectual character. We advise every
one to take The Aldine, preserve the
nuinhers and have them Imnnd. and
they will have a magnificent volume.
It is published monthly in New York,
at five dollars per annum, which is
quite reasonable when you consider
the high style in which it is gotten up.
Comptroller-General.—A gen
tleman informs us that Mr. J. W.
Pruitt, of Jackson county, will be a
candidate for Comptroller-General.
We have never seen Mr. Pruitt, but
the gentleman who gave us his name
speaks of him as well qualified for the
position. We would*, be happy to
make his acquaintance, and > hope he
will give us a call when he visits our
city. We like to know goal men, and
he is spoken of as such. We would
would have mentioned tliij - matter
sooner, but have been absent from our
office.

Public Meeting.—By reference to
our advertisement columns, it will lie
seen that Hon. II. Beusec, Inteudant
of Athens, has called a meeting of our
citizens, on Wednesday, Novemlier
—Oth, for r l.o pur|K>«e of nominating a
Mayor and Alderman for the ensuing
vear.
The City Charter.—To the ex
clusion of our usual interesting miscel
laneous matter, we publish this very
important document. It is not our
intention to bore our readers with long
articles, but this Charter is something
that will be rend with great interest by
every one. The advertisement of- the
Circus also deprives our readers of
three columns, but it will not be inser
ted again.
Law Card.—Colonel'Thurmond,
Attorney-at-Law, publishes his card in
*7 b« nresumo-
tion in us to sav anything to the peo
ple of. Athens .respecting the Colonel.
All itttvvti him to be a bold, independ

several times at thfc Bar, and admired
bis fairness and gentlemanly deport
ment in conducting his cases. We
have been acquainted with the Colonel
for several years, and have always
ouod him i n hi* ( 1a.ily intercourse a
.quiet, courteous gentleman.
Edenfield’s Gallery.—A few
days since we visited this gallery. We
were much pleased to see everything
so neatly arranged. The room set
apart for visitors is nicely carpeted
and furnished with such comfortable
chairs that a person is apt to forget
himself and remain too long. He is
fitting up a dressing room for ladies to
retire to and make such alterations in
their dressing as they may desire be
fore sitting for their pictures. The
gallery is on College avenue, over the
9tore of Mr. Myers’, one of the most
quiet and orderly streets iu the city.
So we say to ladies who desire to have
their pictures taken, go to Edehfield’s
Gallery, for you will there find not
only first-class artists, but two of just
the cleverest gentlemen in Athens
They guarantee perfect satisfaction to
all their patrons.

and harmony.
Sau Announcement.
therefore, let me alone,
11 I>emth is in th« world ;
f.»r 1 will yet linger.
It is with a heavy heart that we re
cord the death of Miss Luckie, of At
lanta, sister of Mr. A. T. Luckie, of
our city. To us she was an cutire
stranger, but her brollier is one of
our warmest friends. He and his sis
ter were orphan children. They were
all in all to each other; they stood al
most alone in the world. It was their
pioviuce to love, console and comfort
each other. But Almighty God, in
his wise and unerring wisdom, has
seen proper to take the sister from the
brother, and transplant her to another
and a better world. We learn she
died in the full assurance ot a blessed
eternity. We trust that our friend
may so school himself as to say, “Not
my will, but Thine, O God, lie done.”

A Valuable Carpet-Bag.—Some
two weeks since a one-armed traveller,
who represented himself as an ex-Con
federate soldier, and a native of York
county, S. C., arrived at the boarding
house of Mr. Veronee, and piit up.
He said lie was selling maps of Geor
gia, and was canvassing~A*therts for
that purpose. But, aftyr ia stay of
some eight or nine days-^he- suddenly
disappeared, bur- he having.* left-his
carpet-bag in his room, no fears for
him were entertained, As all thought
lie had only gone into, -.the -country.
But several davs having elapsed'^and
still no appearance of .him, the propri
etor took charge of his carpet-bag,
which,, being quite lighft^Ws sfispifciona
were nroused, and .he, unlocked-it,
when, lo and heboid, a nice Jot of fresh
Timothy hay was discovered, . ,
Marriage.—Our young friend,
Mr. George Mason, engaged with Pit-
uer & Hunter, if this city, was mar
ried on Thursday evening, at 4 o’clock,
to Miss Gussie Booth, of Watkinsville.
We have not the pleasure of an ac
quaintance with the bride, but Mr.
Masou is well known to us, and we can
truthfully say that the lady could not
have secured a cleverer, better s{>ccies
of the genua homo of she had searched
the whole city. We wish them every
success iu life, and hope their pathway
may always be strewn with flowers
and Heaven their destiny.
But while we ore on the subject of
marrying we would like to say a few
words privately to tho young ladies:
Messrs. Pitner & Hunter lias yet on
band, undisposed of, one of just the
best-looking, sociable, generous young
follows in the city, who we want some
member of the fair sex to take in
charge. We will assure them they
will never repent the investment. We
allude to our young friend, Marshall
Martin.
Childs, Nicholson & Co.—There
cannot be found in tho South a finer
establishment than the hardware em
porium of this firm. There store has
recently been greatly enlaiged and
otherways improved, and an immense
invoice of new goods brought on to fill
it. They have everything in the hard
ware line that can be called for. Yon
can here find not only every kind of
iron, steel, cutlery, and fanning tools,
but ever} - kind of machinery. This
firm are the kind of men to build up a
town. They keep the best of goods,
sell them at reasonable rates, they ad
vertise liberally, take the papers of
the day, and treat all customers or
visitors at their store with kindness
and |Politeness. Hardware dealers will
fiud that they can purchase goods on
just as good terms from this firm as
they can at the North. Their pur
chases are very heavy, and goods are
sold to them at the lowest figures, and
as their motto is quick sales and small
profits, their prices are very little high
er than those of New York and else
where. Give them a trial and see for
vourselves.
Elberton.—Last week we were at
Elberton, on the day of the Presiden
tial election. There appeared to lie
less iuterest taken in it than we have
ever seen there. None of the Presi
dential candidates were acceptable to
the majority of the people, except
O’Conner, and many of his warmest
admirers did not vote for him, because
they thought it was useless. They
choose Greeley, not because they liked
him, hut with the hope of heating
Grant. We met many of our old
friends, who showed their friendship by
giving us a liberal subscription. The
stores appeared to be well supplied with
good , and the merchants all busy.
We called at the Air Liue Saloon,
kept by our friends, Captain J. A.
Sanders & Son. You enter the Captain s
house of business immediately from
the street; where . every article can be
found in the grocery line to tempt the
taste, frprn a good drink, to barrels of
sugar, mackerel, Ac. Captain Sanders

After spending a few pleasant mo
ments with the Captain, we stepped
into what they term the hole iu the
ground, which hole is occupied by
“Little Jim,” as lie is called—for
what reason we can’t imagine, unless it
is that he weighs, we would suppose,

fiostoh fire is thought to be the cause
of it.“ Ill wind that blows nobody

Torch-Light Procession.—The
colored people on Monday night had a
torch-light procession, which extended
about one hundred yards. The news
had just been received by telegraph of
the terrible fire in Boston, and we
presume they were rejoicing at it.
They marched np the street in proces
sion, with flaming torches and flyiog
'banners, and gave vent to their feel
ings in yells and screams. They
did no harm further than annoy some
of our citizens who retired early. A
friend suggested that they were proba
bly celebrating Grant’s election; but
we can’t think so, for they would hard
ly celebrate the election of a man to
the highest office within the gift of the
American people who raid at one time,
“ If I thought I was fighting to free
the negroes I would lay aside my
sword forever.”
Lieut. A. A. Winn.—At a meet
ing of the Savannah Volunteer Guard,
held in Savannah on Thursday night,
the 7th inst., Lieut A. A. Winn, for
merly of this place, was called upon for
a toast, when he most gracefully and
touchingly proposed the following:
“ The memory of the brave and noble
Georgian, General T. R. R, Cobb,
who fell for the South upon the en
sanguined field of Fredericksburg.”
To this toast the whole hall responded
in solumn silence, with uplifted glass
es, standing in profound and sacred
respect to the illustrious dead.

no one in our city who has labored
more earnestly to secure the tri

Whenever there is occasion for
the Democrats to tnakea “strong pull”
to carry their point, he is sure to lie
among the first on the ground and the
last to leave. He is one of the most
active members of the Democrat
ic Club of Athens, which organization
lias wrought such a happy change in
our State election, so far as old Clark
is concerned. This Club is composed
of such men as our gallaut aud tallent-
ed young friend, Emery Speer, Luckie,
Lucas, Talmadge, O’Ferrill, and a
host of others whom we could mention,
the very calling of whose names is
enough to put traitorism and corrup
tion to flight. . ,
TnE Great Circus.—John Robin
son’s Circus aud Meuagerie will be here
on Friday, the 22d inst. If there is
truth in the show bills, aud we don’t
doubt it, his Menagerie comprises a
greater variety ot auimals than any ex
hibition that has ever traveled through
the State. The Giraffe or Camelleopard
has seldom, if ever, been seen by our
people. The Yak is also very rare.
To those who are Curious about such
things, the sight of the Yak alone is
worth the entrance money. We have
never seen one, and edn therefore give
no further discretion than is seen on
the handbills and posters. The Sea
Horse is also another great curiosity.
This animal was captured in Alaska.
The Aviary has a large variety of birds,
among which is the White Peacock a
rare bird in the land. We know the do
mesticated peacock is beautiful, but we
have never seen a white oue, and are
were received by our trieud with a
generous shake of the hand and a anxious to have the sight of it His
hearty welcome. IJis bar is fitted up Circus is said by those who have seen it,

male, Birds and Serpants are presented
under one canvass. Parents should
all take their children, for there is no
better Btody of natural history than
the sight of the living animals. Order
will be strictly preserved, and a fine
hand of mnsic in attendance^
Greene & Rossignol.—The ad-
vertisement of these gentlemen, suc-
ces^fis^tfW m. H. Tutt, of Augusta,
appears in our paper. When we were
in Augusta last we visited the store of
these gentlemen, which we found to be
one of the largest and handsomest es
tablishments of the kind in the South
ern States, and it was well stocked
with everything in their line.
“A thing of beauty is • joy foreTer.”
Go to their store and you will find
numerous articles of beauty, sufficient
to tempt the veriest miser that ever
lived to open his purse. We take great
pleasure in recommending Messrs.
Greene & Rossignol to our friends,
aud would advise them when they go
to Augusta to give this firm a call.
Ball.—On Monday night last a
ball was given in honor of Mr. and
Mrs. Morris, the newly married couple.
We (the senior editor) were kindly
invited to attend, but our “dancing
days are over,” and we therefore leave
the festivities of the ball room to the
younger people. “Our days are in the
se’er and yellow leaf.” We can’t take
the pleasure iu “tripping on the light
fantastic toe” we once did, but we like
to see the young enjoy themselves, and
we would not mar their happiuess by
a single word or act. Youth is the
season for enjoyment, and we are aL
ways glad to see them assemble togeth
er and pass a few hours iu any way
that is pleasant to them.
We learn from parties present that
every thing passed off happily, with the
exception of a few “slip-ups” on the
waxed floors, but this only added to
the merrimenc of the occasion.
Livery J5TABLE.—In our advertise
ment columns to-day will be found the
notice of Mr. J. Z. Cooper’s Livery
Stable, situated on Thomas street.
Our friends would fiud it to their ad
vantage to patronize Mr. Cooper, for
at his stables they will find the best of
horses and vehicles, which can always
be hired at reasonable prices. Travel
ers and drovers sending their animals
to him may rest assured that they will
be taken the best care of, and that
they will find them, when called for,
looking as “sleek as greased lightning.”
Mr. Cooper alra has, iu connection
with his Stable, a first-class Wagon
Yard, which will be a great accommo
dation tq our country friends. Weal-
ways thought there must be sometbing
good about a man who is fond of flue
horses—and who ever saw a man that
kept a Livery Stable who was uot fond
of them ? We wish Mr. Cooper suc
cess in his business.
Hebrew Marriage.—On last
Sunday afternoon we attended the
solemization of the nuptials of Mr.
Louis Morris and Miss Paulina Hoff,
of this city, in the Synagogue. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. B.
A. Bonnhcim, of Atlanta. It was the
first time we ever witnessed a Hebrew
marriage. We are indebted to Messrs.
Myers and Jacobs for their kindnrs
in securing us a comfortable seat quite
near the canopy. The Snyagogue was
crowded with a highly respectable as
sembly and wc were deeply impressed
with the beauty of the whole proceed
ing. The Bride and Groom entered
a few' moments after the Rabbi had
taken njs position. They were attend
by four beautiful young ladies, and as
many young gentlemen. We will
leave ir to the ladies to decide as to the
appearance of the young men. Our
attention was directed to “ metal more
attractive,” in the beauty of the ladies.
The ceremoy was beautiful in the
extreme. The short address to the
bride and groom from Rev. B. A.
Bonubeim was superior to any thing
of the kind we ever heard. He im
pressed upon the^young couple in sol
emn, and very appropriate language,
the duties of the marriage state. His
countenance seemed lit up with a pecu
liar beauty. The groom looked better
than we ever saw him. We only had
a side view of the bride, but from that
we thought her like most of her people,
very handsome; She appeared ex
tremely modest and diffident. The
young,Ifuiy who placed tho ring on
her finger did so with grace and digni
ty. We were highly gratified at the
hole proceeding, and wish the young
couple, a happy voyage through life.
May they never have foul weather, but
live as happy and contented as we be
lieve they deserve.
GOOD m?2Z2)S.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE
NORTHEAST GEORGIAN.
Everybody subscribe for the North
east Georgian.
To show the success with which our
paper is meeting on every hand, we
publish the following extracts from let
ters recently received by us:
One of the first merchants of Hart
well, a gentleman who is a “host with
in himself,” writes us as follows: “En
closed fiud $4, to pay for my and Mr.
S.’s subscription to the Northeast Geor
gian. I am glad to see a live paper
like your*s published in Athens. It is
just what we have wanted for the last
twenty years, and anything that I can
do for your paper will be done with
pleasure. I am glad you are giving
the names of parties who have freight
in your depot, as it will be a great ad
vantage to subscribers.”
Anothor party writes from the same
county: “Continue to send me your
paper. 1 take three others, and would
not give the Northeast Georgian for
them all put together. I always read
it entirely through.”
And still another: “Don’t stop
my paper, for I am pleased with it.”
A Franklin county correspondent
says: “ If you will only take Greeley’s
name from your mast-head I will pro
nounce the Northeast Georgian the best
weekly paper iu the Slate. Send it to
me any way, for I can’t afford to be
without such a live, go-ahead paper as
you are making your’s.”
This from Oglethorpe county: “I
am doing all I can for your paper.
Every oue is pleased with it. Enclos
ed find subscription for thirteen new
subscribers, whose names I sent last
week.”
This is what a Primative Baptist
friend of ours, from Jackson county,
says : “The members of our Church
were hurt with your paper for awhile,
but since your gentlemanly apology
appeared we are perfectly satisfied. I
like your paper very much, as you do
not tire your readers with long politi
cal articles and speeches. I can hard
ly keep the Georgian at home long
enough to read myself, my neighbors
are so auxious to see it. Most of them
intend to take it. Be sure to be on
hand during Court week.”
A gentleman from Banks county
writes : “I saw a copy of the Northeast
Georgian, and consider it by far the
best pajier ever published in Athens.
Send it to me.”
This from Habersham county: “I
am delighted with your paper. Eve
ry one I have seen expressed themselves
as pleased with it. If you will canvas
our county I think you will meet with
great success.”
Rabun county rays: “I get more
news out of the Northeast Georgian
than any paper I huve ever takeu.”
A friend from Elbert county writes:
“I congratulate you upon publishing
the best weekly paper in the State.”
The Savannah Morning Netvs says:
“The Northeast Georgian, published at
Athens, is one of the best weekly pa
pers published in Georgia.”
We could publish many more cheer
ing extracts from letters received by
us from parties in renewing their sub
scription, but we only select a few
from the different counties, so as to
show our frieuds the success with
which we are meeting. Out of the en
tire subscription list of the old Banner

Store Enlargement.—-In passing
down Broad street the other day, we
saw repairs going on in the hotel next
door to the store of Messrs. Michael &
Jacobs. Mr. Jacobs informed us that
it was for the purpose of enlarging his
store. The partition between the
store and the room undergoing repairs
is to be removed, which will give him
as fine a business room as any in the
city. The gentlemen who comprise
this firm are very clever and popular
merchants, and we hope that their bu
siness will so increase that they will
have to enlarge again. When they
have everything ready our friends will
hear from them through the columns
of this paper.
THE MAYOR’S COURT.
UON. HENRY BECS8J5, PRESIDING.

REPLY TO DARK CORNER.
Editors North East Georgian:
I wish to post-up “Dark Corner,”
who suggest* to form a Club to get
fertilizers, &c., cheaper. All farmers
get their fertilizers at manufacturers’
price and freight. That little com
mission, five percent., generally comes
out of the manufacturer. The farmer
does not pay the commission uor the
storage, fifty cents per ton. This all
comes out of the manufacturer. No
farmer or Club could get it any cheap
er than they now do. And to go to
the expense of buying land near a
depot, building a house and then get
ting a man to attend to it, would be
much more expensive than it now is.
So “Dark Corner” had better let the
merchant have the little commission
of five per cent., as they will sell
three-fourths or seven-eighths any way,
for most farmers are customers of the
Athens merchants. A Merchant.
Thanksgiving Day.—We are re
quested to ray that on Thursday, the
28th inst., the stores will all be closed
in our city, as the merchants and
elerks are bent on a rabbit hunt.
We think Thanksgiving is a misno
mer. It should be a day of humilia
tion, fasting and prayer. Our country
has to undergo another four years of
persecution, tyranny and oppression.
The people ought to humble themselves
before God, and pray that he should
stay his judgments. The churches on
that day should all be opened, the peo
ple called together, to report in sack
cloth and ashes, and pray God to re
move the curse with which we are
burtheced.
The Northeast Georgian is a
live wide-awake newspaper, subscribe
for it.
On Monday last we were too busy
to attend the sitting of the Mayor’s
Court, but Mr. Albert Mitchell, our
efficient and popular Clerk of Council,
kindly furnished us‘with the proceed
ings, for which we return our thanks.
We stepped into the Court room for
a few minutes, but all the cases but
one had been tried. This was one be
tween a mulatto girl, whose name we
did not learn, and Joe Griffith, also, a
mulatto. It seems that the girl had
been washing for Joe, aud he weut to
her house on a visit. While there
some words of an unfriendly character
passed between them, and Joe was
rather ungallant iu his expressions, as
he called her an ugly name. This
raising her “dander,” she pitched into
Joe and bit him. Joe was too much
of a gentleman (?) to strike a lady, (?)
and therefore did not resent the bite,
but pushed her off. His Honor very
justly fined Joe three dollars, on the
ground that he was an intruder in her
house; that true, he had gone thereon
lawful business, but had afterwards
raised a difficulty. It is said that
jealousy was at tlw bottom of it. Joe
is generally a very respectful and well-
behaved boy, but this time he acted
wrong, and had to pay the penalty.
The following is the list of cases dis
posed of:
Nelson Meriwether, (negro,) for vio
lation of the 193d section, (disorderly
conduct,) was found guilty and fined
three dollars and costs.
James Meriwether, (nig.) for viola
tion of the 193 section. Case was dis
missed.
Stephen Jackson, (black) for viola
tion of tlie 193d section, was found
guilty and fined three dollars and all
costs.
Ned Sap, (gentleman in black,) for
violation of the 193d section, found
guilty and ordered to pay costs.
Lewis Connington, (white,) viola
tion of the 191 st section, plead guilty
and was fined $2.25 and costs.
Joe Griffin, (ginger-bread variety,)
for violation of the 193d section, found
guilty and fined three dollars aud all
costs.

Golden Rules for Husbands.
There is an article afloat in the
papers entitled “ Golden rules' for
wives,” which enjoius on the ladies a
quiet submission to their husiwinds’
will and whims. But the art of living
together in harmony is a very difficult
art; aud without confuting the puii-
tions of the author of the afore: aid
rules, we offer the following as a sub
stance of what a wife likes in a hus
band.
Fidelity is her heart’s first and most
just demand. The act of infidelity a
true wife cannot forgive; it rudely
breaks the ties that bound her heart to
lii.«, and that tic can never more
exist.
The first place in her husban.i’s af
fections no true wife’ can learn to do
without. When she loses that, she
has lost her husband, she is i’wldow,
and has to endure the pangs of be
reavement intensified by the presence
of what she "no longer possesses. There
is a living mumy in the house re
minding her of her loss in, the most
painful manner.
A woman likes her husband to excel
in those qualities which distinguish the
masculine from the feminine being,
such as strength, courage, fortitude
and judgement. She wants her hus
band to be wholly a man. She can
not entirely love one-whom she cannot
entirely respect, believe ;in, and rely

A wife dearly likes to have her hus
band staud high in the regard of the
commuuity iu which they reside. She
likes to be thought by her own sex a
fortunate woman in having such a
husband as she haw. She has a taste
for the respectable, desires to have a
good looking front door, and to keep
up a good appearance generally.- Soma
wives, it is said, carry this too far.
and some husbands we know, are
dangerously complrs ant in yielding to
the front door ambition of their wives.
But a good husbad will like to gratify
his wife in this respect, as far as he
can, without sacrificing more important
objects. i
Perfect sincerity a wife expects, or
at least has a right to expect, from her
husband. She desires to know the
real state of tho case, miwFVer it may
be concealed from the world. It
wrings her heart and wonnds her pride
to discover that her husband has not
wholly confided in her. A man may
profitably consult his wife on almost
any project; it is due to her that he
should do so, and she is glad to be
consulted.
Above most other things, a wife
craves from her husband appreciatii n.
The great majority of wives lead lives
of severe and anxious toil With pu.-
imaginable angiiislrand peril fo thbit-
lives they become motheis. Their
children require incessant care. “Only
the eye ofGod watches like a mother’s,”
says Fanny Fern in that cl apter of
“ Ruth Hall” which depicts tftth sueK 1
power and truth a mother’s agonizing
anxieties. And besides her maternal
cares a wife is queen-regent of a home-
hold kingdom. She has to think,
and plan and work for everybody. If,
in all her labors and cares, she feels
that she has her husband’s sympathy
and gratitude, if he helps her where a
man can help a woman, if he notices
her efforts, applauds her skill, and
allows her deficiencies, all is well.
But to endure all this, and yet ipeet
with no appreciating word, or glance
or act from him for whom and for
whose she toils and bears* fs very
bitter. '
bitter.
A wife likes her husbtibd to show
her all due resjiect in thfe presence of
others; she cannot bear to be reproved
or criticised by him when others can
hear it. Indeed, it is most wrong in
a husband thus to’ put, his wife; to
shame. We canndt lielp secretly ad
miring the spirit of that Freneli woiu-
au, who, when her husband had so
wronged her, reftifeed ever dgain to
utter a word, and for twenty years
lived in the house a dumb woman.
We admire her spirit, though opt her
mode of manifesting it. Husbands
owe the most profound respect t» their
wives as the mothers of their children
No man has thd slightest claim, to the
character ol a gentleman who ra not
more scrupulously polite to his wifo
than to any othdf woman. Wfi fefer
here to the essential of politeness; not
its forms; we mean kindness and jus
tice inlittle thiiits.
A wife likes her husband to be i n-
siderate. Unexpected kindness nnd
unsolicited favors touch the heart. She
appreciates the softened tread when
she is sick; she enjoys the gift-from %
distance, and everything that proves
to her that her husband thinks w her
comfort and good.
