Reflued Cruelty.

"Why, daughter,” said the rich father of the girl who had married the penniless nobleman, “what does this mean? How comes It that yon are home again, with all yoor trunks?” "Father,” wept the girl, “I cannot live with the duke any longer.” “Can’t live with him any longer? Has he been cruel to you?” "Indeed, he has,” she sobbed, dinging to the tender-hearted old man. "He is always taunting, me with poverty.” "Poverty? Why, dadgum him! Didn’t I buy him outright for you?” "That’s Just it! He sneers that we were so poor that he was the best we could afford.” —NewOTork Times.
