pEarney ultGuire,' with his , tia dinner

of a frorrzy wife at the wash-tub, and a

I'read in the rr.orning paper that he was

and its 'snarling brothers and sister,

Barney, I think it is much harJcr for
her, and I can't think t.v'at Barnf-y bet
ters matters' much, by giving . her only
enough cf. his sympathy and presence cs
to run for the elector at the birth of their
thirteenth child. Alas! it -U .hird
