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.

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. T. A. Burke’s Literary Bulle tin—A -Monthly Record of Current Lit erature.—-This will be found very u.-e- ful ns a reference to all reading people who wish to find out all new works that our published.

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 ent speaker,' and, it is said, a thorough judge of law. We have heard him 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.

Death.—On Sunday morniug last, we saw a large procession following a age. hearse. Upon e iquiry, we learned that it contained the lost remains of Miss Nations, a young lady of this city. The funeral was attended by a large number of Good Templars. We un derstand she wasa member of theorder. It is said, “death loves a shining mark | Georgia. She is a little daughter of his, only a few days old, and is the first child of her parents. We hope she will grow up to be the P.

Temperance.—We find a circu'ar on our table proposing the 30th of November inst., fora convention, to be called in Atlanta, for the purpose We take pleasure in recommending it to ministers and others. It is published by Holt & Williams, New York. Fine Whiskey.—Our friend, Col.

Good Templars seems to require all others to disperse and finite with them; and that the pledge be obligatory forever, though they should withdraw from the lodge. This is, perhaps, unreasodajjie, and we hope the convention which meets in Atlanta S'iU so mould things that all may unite on a common level. We would advise all orders to meet and send up their delegates, that they may work in union 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.” ^ us,c -—-Wo are indebted to our friend, Mai. T. A.

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.

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, near 200. We entered the hole aud want a first-rate article of rye whiskey for medicinal purposes, go to Longs & Billups. There is the place to find it. appeared, this morning. Cotton has advanced to-day. The fiostoh fire is thought to be the cause of it.“ Ill wind that blows nobody good.” 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.

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, in a style that would he creditable to a I (and who has not seen John Robinson’s city. He handed us a glass of his best!

We found also a table eov- agers have proposed to refund the cred with newspapers, by a good fire. Much to our gratification we raw the North Edit Georgian in a conspicuous money to any person who will say they are dissatisfied with the exhibition. There are some who are conscientous- plaee on the table. We expressed our ’ ly opposed to visitingaCircus, hut none pleasure at seeing it there, when I can be to a Menagerie, or Aviary.

Well has she been called the Banner County of Georgia. 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 we have lost but seven subscribers, and three of that number were “dead heads.” We have almost doubled the number of subscribers, and have new names added daily. Wc will publish more extracts in our next issue, not only from Georgia, but from other States. 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. [communicated.] 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. Athens’ Retail Priees Current FOB TOE WEEK ENDING X0TEXBEK1S.

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 Woodtn Ware.—Painted Bnckait, <loi 2 73 bn S 00 Cedar « “ 3 M to 12 86 WUts Pins, « •• 7 00 to 8 00 Stevee, “ 1 00 to 5 09 Uiaor*.—Corn W hisky .good per gal. J 10 to — “ medium, •• 2 00 to 3 oo common, 1 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.
