For, although this man was far from faultless, although he had the name among his brother merchants and on ’change, of being shrewd and sharp at a bargain, and pretty certain to ‘line his own 1165;” warmly, in all business transactions there was still another side of Lu- ther Randolphâ€"he was thoroughly a homeman. ' That was the side ofhim which was warmest and tenderest, and most genial; the aide which was turned almost invariably toward his sweet young wife, and girl and boy, who were the pride and delight of the man's life.

Time, perseverance. above all, a steady ascent up the ladder of for-_ tune. triumphed. after several vears’ wailing, over all obstacles. and Lu- therRandolph led to the alter the' daughter of the old banker, Mary Marshall. He was far into his thirties 'at that time, and so far, life had been litterally a struggle with him. He had fought his way by thestrength of his arm and the might of his will without friends or fortune, and now less than eight years after- his mara riage, he was a rich man, honured of all men, if somewhat feared and dreaded by his inferiors, and sur rounded on every hand by the/evi- dences ofthe wealth which he had won for himself. ‘ Yes,'Mary"__he_ continued, 'with the! new hardness, which had set- tied into his face. sinking also into his voice.
