The Haunted Look.
We remember once being in the company of a clergyman whose labours lay in a maining village. This was at eleven o'clock in the forannon, and, though he had to go from one end of the village ta he station at the other, he would unt. pass through it. He stated then, what everyone who knowe min- er's wives can testify to be true, that they go in constant dread of having a visitor with the worst of news during the day. Always there is in their eyes, while, their husbande sro at work, a haunted look. That passes away, in some fagree in the evenings, but speak.
