Sly Husband' Second Wife.
My luiibau.l cab.e tcuJcrly to
siJe.
"Are you going out this
luve ':"
'Of course I aju!"
I looked "lovvn eotj'l:tccnily at my
tlre.s of pink crape, dew-drop; eJ over
with crystal, and ihe trails i" pink azale
as iliut caught up its iolds here aud
thvre.
A diamond bracelet encircled one
round, white arm, and a little cross blazed
(iitlu.ly at my throat. I had u -ver
looked better, and I felt a sort of girlish
pride as 1113' eyes met the fairy reflection
in the mirror.
"Come, Gerald, make hrsste; why, you
haven't bcun to dross yet !"
Where were my wifely instincts, that.
I did not jose the h lyoard, drawn look
iu his leatutes, the feve ed liht in his
eyes?
'I can't jro to-ntoht, Madeline; I am
not well enough "
'Vou are never wvll etmuoli to oblige
ine, (;er'id. 1 am tired of Le'tig put oft
with such excuses."
He made no answer, but dropped his
head in his hands, on the tabte before
him.
'Oh, come, Gerald," I ur-cJ, petu
lantly; ' it is s awkward for me to go
alone always."
He shook his head listlessly.
'I thought perhaps you would be
willing too stay at home with me, Made
line."" 1 I 1
"Men are so selfish!" I said, plaintive
ly; '-and I am all d.e.-sed. Claudia took
hall an hour for my hair. I dar.say
you'll be a great deal quieter without me
that is, if you are determined not to
. - !
No answer again.
'Well, it 3'ou choose to be sullen, I
can't help it," I said lightly, as I turned
aid went out of the room, adj tstitig my
silver boquet holder, the tube roses and
helitiopes seeming to distil incense at
every motion. ;
Was I heartless and cruel? Had I
ceased to love my husband?
From the bottom of my heart I believ
ed that I loved him as truly and tender
ly as a wife ever did, but I had been so
spoiled and petted all uiy brief, selfish
life, that the better instincts were, so to
speak, entombed alive.
I went to the party and had my fill of
adulation and h 0111 age as usual.
The hours seemed to glide away, shod
with rjses and winged with music and
perfume ; and it was not until, wearied
with dancing, I sought a temporary ref
uge in the ha'f-li::hted tea room, that I
heard words awakening me, as it were,
from a dream. ;
"Gerald Glen!"
I could not well be mistaken in the
name it was scarcely commonplace
enough for that.
They were talking two or three stout,
business-looking gentlemen in a hall with-r
out, and I could catch now and then a
fugitive word or phrase. ;
'Fine, enterprising young fellow !"
''great pityi" "reckless extravagance of
bis wife !" - :
AH these vaguo fragments I heard,
and then someone said: ;j-
"And what is he going to do now?" I
"What can le do, poor fellow. I am
sorrv, Lut should
have calculated his
iucoitio and his expenses better."
"Or his wife should. Douce take these
womeii; they are at the Lottom of all a
man's troubles!" i
At:d they laughed. Oh, how couM
they ? I had yet to learn how eay it is
in this world to bear other people's
troubles! -
- I rose hurriedly tip, with my heart
beating tumultuously beneath the pink
azaleas, and went back to the lighted
corridors.
Albany Moore was waiting to claim 1113'
hand for the next redowa.
" Are you ill, Mrs. Glen ? How pale
you look I"
"I I am not yell. I wish you
would have my carriage called, Mr.
Moore." " y
For 1 felt nor that home was the place
for me..
: Hurried by some unaccountable im
pulse, I sprang out the moment the car
riage wheels touched the curb stone and
ru-diedyUp to my husband's room.
The door was locked, but I coulj see a
light shitting under the thresholiL I
knocked wildly and per.sis'ently.
"Gerald! Gerald! for ; Heaven's sate
let me in !" . .
Something fell on the niarble hearth
stone within, making a metallic cltn!i.
and my husband opened the door a little
way.
I had n:?ver seen him look ;S0 pale
before, and so rigid, yet so determined.
"Who are you?" he ilemandcdi, wildly;
"why cannot you leave me iu peace."
"It's I, Gerald your Madcl.ue your
own little wi'c."
And I caught from his hand the pistol
he was striving to conceal in his breast
its mate lay on the marble 'hearth, un
der the mautel aud flung i: out of the
window.
"Gerald, would you have left me ?"
"I would hive e-caped !" ho cried,
still half-delirious, to all a; p aranec-i ;
-debt iliso race - miser v
y tier 1
e t in ladl
es ! I would have escaped tlie ii all !"
11 13 head fell, like that of a weary
child, on my shoulder.
I drew him gently to a sofa, and
southed 111 111 willi a tUuus.m I luu e ca
re -cs.
For had it not all been my fault?
Through till the long weelfs of fear
that fo'lowe 1, I nursed htm with unwav
ering care and ilevoU iu. I had but one
thought, one d -sire to redeem mysell
in his estimation ; to prove to him that
I Was .something 111 ire and higher than
the mere butterfly of fashion I had hith
erto shown myself.
' Well, the March winds had howled
themselves away into their mountain
fastnesses; the brilliant April rain-drops
wetc dried 011 bough and spay and now
the apple blossoms were tossing their
fragrant billows of p'nky blomu iu the
dee, blue air of later May.
Where were we now?
It was a pieturc-que little cottage just
out of the city, 'furnished' much dike a
magnified baby hou-c. Gerald sat in a
cushioned e isy chair on the piazza, just
where he could glance through the open
window at nie, -working a bafh of biseuits,
with my sleeves rolled up above my el
bows, and the gold thread hair neatly
confined in a silken net.
"What an industrious fatry It Is!" lie
said smiling .sadly.
i, "Well, ym see I like jit. It's a great
deal better than those sonatas on the
piano."
"Who would ever have thought you
would make so notable a housekeeper?"
I laughed gleefully I had all a child's
delight in being praised. r
"Are you not going to Miss Delancey's
croquet party?" he pursued.
"No; what do, I care for croquet
parties? I'm going to finish your shirrs,
and you'll read aloud to me?"
'Madeline, I wjut you to answer me
one question."
"What is it?"
I had safely deposited my pan of bis
cuits in the oven by this time, and-was,
dusting the fl jur olF my hands.
"What have you done with your dia
monds ?" I
"I sold them tang ago; they paid sev
eral heavy bills, Lesides settling half a
year's rent here."
j "But, Madeline, yoa were so proud of
your diamonds." '.
I T "I was once; now they would be the
bitterest reproach ;my eyes could meet.
Ob, Gerald!! had I beea less ,vaia and
thoughtless and i : r.i vao.in t ' .'
" I t-h eked myself, n j a robin singing
in ihe perfumed 'depths of apple blossoms,
above the piazza, took up the dropjieJ
current of sound.
"Tim's right, little red breast." said
my husband, half jokingly, "talk her
down she has forgotten that our past is
dead and gone, and that we have turned
over a new page in the book of ex'stence !
Madeline, do you know how I feel Sou.e
tinies. when I sit and look at you?"
"No."
"We'd I feel Kki a widower who has
married again."
My heart gave a little superstitious
jump.
"Like a widower who has married
again. Gerald?"
"Ves; I can remember my firs. wife
a brilliant, thoughtless child, without
an idea beyond the gratification of; pres
ent whims a spoiled plaything. Well,
that little Madeline has vanished away
into the past somewhere ; she has gone
away to return to n:e no more, and iu her
stead I behold my second wife, .Tthought
ful, tender woman, whose watchful love
surrounds tne like an atmosphere, whose
character grows more noble and develops
itself into new depth and -beauty every
day." j
I war. kneelliri'' at h's side now, with
my cheek upon his arm, and my eyes
looking into his. j

JiTEXiLK IJurciiKKS. A few days
since two little lii) aged 1 especti vel- si X
and eight years, brought home with them
from a slaughter-house a beef's heart and
some other scraps of meat. After ar
riving home the idea occ tired that they
would start a meat maikct Noj sooner
said than done. After-fixing up their
stall it was found that they had no neat;
so they started after some. Coining np
to a small dog, they up with a club and
stone ami killed the specimen of I the ca
nine species. The deed done, they then
became alarmed at the prospect of meet
ing au agrv. owner, and to conceal their
supposed misdeed, the dog a chucked
iu a h de. When asked hy the father
why the dog was killed, out: of the b.3-s
replied that "ihey oil not have any meat
and that 1 hey could not keep a butcher
shop without meat." Unionist.

horse-., which were, frantically struggling
to f:eo themselves tVoin the ambulance.
The Doctor, Johnson, and I gained the
bank, and ran along trying lo get hold of
the driver, who showed signs d" giving
out. They drifted d e.Vn u'nut threj hun
dred 3-ards in this way, the horses, wagon
and driver s ji::ctimcs buried under the
current and sometinus sfruggliug ou its
sui facj, when, by great go id fortu:;c,
i hey struck the bottom an 1 succeeded iu
1 getting a foothold. ly the united ef
forts of he Doctor, Johnson and myself,
we got them on dry land, rather the
worse for the ad venture, but not seriously
d.tviagcd. Colonel Wash sat down a
goock deal Clown, and complained of a
I'aiiittip.ss. The tla-k f bri.i ly, together
with everything else, had been waslmJ
from the ambulance, so (hit nothing
could be do c for h.m. When this dis
eovery was made, lu seemed lo loose all
co.i'ro! of hii:sol''. and began to swear
iu sue 1 a manner that it was fiighlfu' to
hear him. Tn ihe meantime the boat had
worked itself along ihe rope to 1 iie land
ing, and the Yankee made g j his escape
on shore.
Whilst wo v.re eras iking what was
to be dv'inj next, I ch meed to lojk across
the tivei where I ducricl a in 111 sitting
upon thj bank L might aim 1st say tin
app iritioii. - It was certainly the most
uncouth looking object I had ever Iain
my eyes upoa a long. gn::it, sa 1 w man.
with "yellow httr, a red shirt, big bo-its,
with the breeches thru-st iii Uieui, a long
c )r i c '- pi,e i: his 111 r.itli, an I a long
1 Lie. in his h in.l. His long face was so
dreadfully ealaveroas anl his form s
long and least, th it h-j might well be the
e nbliuuat of t'u fevers an I ag'tji tint
are sail to lurk in thj.se river bat'foitn.
Seeing th it we kept looking at him, "he
cetse 1 p'llS ig his pip's for a m nujut, an 1
observed in a nasal tone :
"Gentlemen, I'll trouble yoa for yonr
fjro jmt lay it thar 011 tlu bink; four
bits for the wagon aud two bits apiece
for the men ?"
A m idest rem irk to make, when we
were nearly drowned through his negli
gence. "Say, Guv'nar!" cried O il. Wash in a
voica of suppressed passion, "be you the
fert'3'tn in ?''
"I be!" replied the mm, giving anoth
er puff at his pipe.-
"An 1 yo i w mt a d ill ir an lab ill for
putting 11 over?" shoaled Col. Wash.
"I do !"
"Well, t'un, jnt draw a cluck fir it
on your own bank !" roiro l C J. Wai'i iu
a perfect fu y; "an I if it ain't piid by
the tiutj I get back I'll seitlj with yoa
then.":
Tin gmit ferryuiiTi l.iid down his
corn -c ib pipe, opeueJ h'nueU' u; like a
tall pen knife, raise I h'nrifl;, ex inline 1
the priming, set the hair trigger, and
then qaietly observed :
"Gentlemen, the first ram that under
takes to leave theui premises without' a
pay in. of his fare, I'll drap him suri." -
There was no mistaking the sincerity
of hfs threat.! The tall ferryman was
evidently not the kind of a person to be
trifled with. There was a fixed look
about him and a deliberate coolness in
his "mariner that suSBsIontly ihd cated his
dotcruiiaeJ character. Now, it was cvi-
dentthat our firearms were of 110 value, be
ing thoroughly saturated with water-- a
fact that was probably known to our friend
across thy river, for he give himself no
apparent mcern abiut Itho matter. To
say that Col. Waaavcd would but
faintly epre bis condition in the mor
tifying emergency. I had n )t seen him
in s ivi a tinii vein of profanity from the
vr3r beginning of our journey. All this
time th.' ferryman stood i quietly watch
ing us from the other side, in inifestiug
neither impatience nor resentment at the
duration or violence of the invectives be
stowed upon him. For my part, I was
quite willing to pay him. I felt con
vlucl he would kill int if I failed to do
so, ti nd considered my life, worth mosje
than two bits o the public, if not to my
self; so I held up. the money that he
might serf it, and then deposited it on a
chip, which I laid upon the bank. ;
"That's all right stranger," said the
gaunt ferryman, "you're out! jist step o'
one side."
The Yankee trader hid evidently ia
d ilged iu the h ipj of escaping this tax,
bat seeing no alternative n v. ho depos-
Lite i his in i.ioy 0.1 a ch'p 41 1 stoal oHf
acjordiug to ' -order. Next fallowed tho ,
oil Doctor, win took it like a philoso
pher. Johnson seemed c impose 1 and
powerless from tlu beg nnlng. A hope
less melancholy was. upon him. With
a most profound sigh he placed his twj
bits 011 the cliip, remarking in a dejected
tone, "My God ! if I only had my rifle !"
and then pissed over. Col. Wash was
ths last. He was perfectly convulsed "
with rago. and declared with m-tny extra
otdinary oaths that he would have satis
faction for this outrage. Hut what was
the use of talking? We were all shiv
erin with cold, and tlu nmn'y must be
paid. Col. Wash, with all his blood
thirsty propen-itles, was evidently 110
.jol. That clause in the ferryman's ad
dress "I'll drap him sure!" was wonder
folly impressive. S i Colonel Wash put
uisi money 'upon the chip, promising to
settle ou his return.
"That's all right, stranger," said tho
gni"t ferrytnin. -'Geu'rally spcakin',
I'm on hand here!" Then he sat
d w,i and resumed his corn cob pipe, ap-.
pit-cully quite iiidiiTjrent to oar futuro
