SUNDAY MORNING August 2, 1888
GruessJWho!
There has been a story going the rounds
of the papers, copied from lhe Chamber's
Journal, entitled ‘‘ln woman’s clothes ; How
one man found a wife.” It is a good story,
but it isn’t true; it’s one of those stories
“made to tell.” There are half a dozen
places, ns 1 cast tqy eye over it, which re
veal the work of the artist—where he laid
on his brush here and there, to heighten the
effect which his imagination bad produced.
I’ll wager ten to one there is no “Mrs.
Charles Temple” to this day, but that “Mr.
Charles” is some briefless barrister who
made that story out of whole cloth, for the
sake of the “very hard cash” which no
doubt he was paid for it, and with which
perhaps he made peace with his washer
woman, or his landlady. But, as I said, it’s
a go<stl story, and it set methinking'; think
ing of something that happened so many
years ago in my own life; of something I
would have been bound by honor not to tell
if the course of my life had run differently ;
of something I have vowed a thousand times
to myself not to tel), as it is, and yet as
many times have been on the point of break
ing my vow, because it’s such a good story;
of how another man got a wife—that other
man being myself.
Meu arc not good at keeping secrets, at
least not such secrets. How many a man
has vowed as solemnly “not to tell.” How
few have ev< kept the vow as faithfully even
as I. I tell it now, because I know ’twill be
a secret still. You will never guess who it
is that tells it.
No filthy lucre has tempted me to tell this
story. I tell it because it is strictly true.
As Horace IValpole, on his death bed, said
ol stories in general, so I say of mine ab
solutely, "it is false in names and dates,
true in everything else.”
I was born on the Green Mountains of
Massachussotts. I was graduated at Yale
College. I was a tutor there for three years
after my graduation. From there 1 went
to Cambridge to study law. During the
last months of my study I boarded some
mile or so out of the town, with a very
pleasant landlady, who- had for boarders,
besides myself and child, Frank Forresicr,
and three young ladies who attended a
boarding school in Cambridge.
1 was very pleasantly situated thpt six
months. I should have been in paradibe
had I been, like other men, able to enjoy to
the depth of my nature the society of the
f air sex, and had I, charmed by their sunny
smiles, been enabled to do and appear my
best. But this I could not do. I was the
farthest possible from being a “ladies’ man.”
My natural diffidence amounted almost to a
curses My mother was the only woman I
had-ever known, and as her nature was like
my own, shy and reserved, we had never
drawn near together. I had no sister ; had
been brought up with tlie boys ; had been
to school with the boys, and taught boys ;
and with them, under all circumstances,
1 was at ease. First in rank at school and
college, a consciousness of my own powers
sustained me in the company of men, so
that in spite of natural reserve and diffidence
1 got on well enough, and almost al ways made
friends. But with women it was different.
Few men so truly admire and, from the
depth of the heart, respect women as I did ;
and there are few—l doubt if there ever was
another one—so little able to make such
admiration and respect manifest. My natural,
diffidence, in the presence of even one
woman, turned to fear; in The presence of
two or three, to absolute terror. At such
times, 1 forgot that “knowledge is power,”
1 forgot my own merits, past triumphs or
future prospects. 1 remembered only my
defects; that I was tall, :tnd smooth-faced
and shy—yes, awkward. I then thought to
the last degree - and this thinking, of course,
increased the trouble. So, this summer,
which would have been so pleasant in the
opportunity for familial, intercourse which
our daily life afforded, was to me one of
almost torture.
How I envied frank Forrester his easy,
graceful ways. He hadn’t any brains to
spare, but the girls all liked him. I never
heard of him but once after we left the law
school, and then I heard he had married a
rich wife, and all his struggles were over.
But, dor myself, the more I strove to create
a good impression, the more I failed. 1
acted steadily and constantly, day after day,
my best, and, at the end of the term, was as
diffident and ill at ease as at the beginning..
In their presence, I never could door say the
things I wished. Usually, so great was my
terror, that I could say nothing at all; and
no mortal can tell what I suffered day by
day, when in their society, and I could not
talk, and they would not
Well, the terra was over. My studies
were finished. I was soon to commence
practice in a distant city—Frank likewise
was to return to bis home. Our trunks
were packed and ready for our departure.
But before we made this final start, we
decided to treat ourselves to one last week
together by the seaside, and Cohasset
be the place. We put what things would
make us comfortable for a week’s time into
our travelling bags, and at dinner bade the
family, girls and all, good bye. We still
reserved our room, in which we left our
trunks, thinking it must be convenient for
us to stop a day or two on our return. Upon
reaching the city, Frank and I separated,
each to attend to little matters of business,
agreeing to meet at the depot in time for
the last train.
Everything went wrong with me that
afternoon, and conspired to binder mo, and
foe upshot of it was, that I readied the
station just five minutes after the cars had
started. I was vexed and disappointed. To
add to all the rest, it was Saturday night,
and I was distressed beyond measure to
think I must go back to the hwuse and stay
oyer Sunday with those three girts without
frank to, help me along. It was quite late,
and a glorious moonlight as I started to
walk out; and I refleeted with pleasure that
11 would be near midnight before I should
reach the house. Then I would let myself
Quietly in with my night key, and I should
6 tif* fo* One at foast.
AU thia happened as I expected. Bpt
hat was my surprise onejuietly entering my
room, to see Frank’s form as usual in the
bed.
•“Well,” said 1, quietly, “Old fellow, did
you miss the train too?” But he did not
answer, and I thought if he was half as
tired as 1 was, it would .be a pity to wake
him. I missed the usual “haw-nee,” “haw
hed” of his heavy breathing, but thought he
was too tired even *to snore. So, speedily
disrobing, without even striking a match—
for the moon gave light enough, even though
it fell but faintly through the heavy foliage
that surrounded the house, I was bdsidc him
in a twinkling, and was soon fast asleep.
The fatigues of the day were followed by
such a night of rest as comes to us some
times; when wa neifher move nor stir
through aIL the night. When the first bird
began to sing in the early morning—l think
oppressed by tile fear of how I should -get
through the day—suddenly I was broad
awake. I opened ray eyes to see if Frank
had awakened too, and Oh, horrors I it was
not Frank at all, but the beautiful Miss
D , the prettiest of the three girls, and
tfie one I feared most of all 1
For a moment my heart stopped beating.
If I had been a woman, I was so scared 1
should have screamed murder, and then
fainted. As it was, my first thought was to
jump and rurf; iny next was that my first
movement would waken her, and then
matters would be worse than at that moment.
While 1 was thinking hard and fast what 1
should do to .gej both myself and her out of
sb terrible a dilemma, the human nature
within me awoke, and I could but cast one
glance- at the face of' the stiff sleeping
beauty beside me. 1 had in my boyhood
often gone to my mother’s room to say good
night after she bad retired, and seen her, a
tall, angular woman, in dimity night gown
and close-fitting cotton nightcap, aud had
never been, impressed thereby. But oh, this
vision I No cap or pin confined tire rich,
brown hair ; but beneath one cheek it lay in
masses, pushed back by her dimpled hand ;
from the other it railed off in waving curls,
and streamed upon the. pillow. Her cheek
was flushed in steep, ami one lily white
arm was thrown up high above he? head, over
the curling waves of brown hair, while
the dainty night-dress, “just swelling
with the charms it hid,” was such a
miracle of puffs, and lace, and beauty, as I
had never dreamed of. Don’t imagine that
I lingered, as I am lingering now, to tell the
story. 1 saw all this “in a moment, ill the
twinkling of un eye but I think uiy gaze,
mingled as it was with terror, astonishment
and dqjight, must have had mgsuneric power;
for without a warning moment, tile beauli
la'Jy fringed eyelids unclosed, titid t'n» large
brown eyes looked full into wiife. Evcry
vestige of. color forsook -the fair clieet. J
knew in a moment more she would do what
I fain would have done myself—-shriek or
faint—and, for once in my 'life, I got the
better of my bashful. less, anil irate! as if 1
had never known fear—
“ Know you what it is wheti.anguish
Toa Pythian height delates yon— •
And despair sublimes to power?”
I suppose this Was my case. I had all
summer hardly to look her in the lace
jind call her Miss Dale; now I said, ofdy
but ’calmly, “Mary -don’t stream or be
frightened—wc htfve been the victims of a.I
very unfortuiiute accident ; but if you will
only be calm, none bet ourselves shall ever
know it. No one knows that J came home
last night. It is still earliest morning ; turn
you to your sleep again, and think of this
only as a dream Ot last night's weaving.”
tjhe gave me one such glance of relief, a id
thankfulness, aiftl trust, from her bcautil il
eyes, as I never knew before; and then
bursting into passionate weeping, turned
and buried her face in the depths-of her
pillow. You may believe I .tressed qin ker
than 1 had undressed the night before, and
that 1 left the house, more quietly than 1 had
entered it. Not even old Carlo, the watch
dog, noticed my departure.
1 walked miles just to kill time and drown
thought. I didn’t go that day nor the next,
nor ever, to Cohassef- I telegraphed Frank
that I “had been summoned home ; would
he send me my trunk,” etc., etc.
1 went to Philadelphia and entered the
law office of the eminent Judge P —. 1
had been with him but a year when he was
appointed United States Minister to'France.
He got me the position of Secretary of Lega
tion, and I was with him abroad three years.
It is astonishing what three years in French
society will do for any man, and especiul y
for one who meets it under such favorable
circumstances as of course Idi J. You
would not have believed the story, I have
told of my former, bashful ways, had you
seen me upon my return to my native laud.
My formerly bare face was now adorned by
a famous moustache, and 1 don’t believe a
man in the /world was ever so Sfituh im
proved or altered in appearance by so small
a change. The bashful law student had
likewise in outward manner become the
calm, self-possessed, and easy man of the
world; but be brought back a heart as
honest and pure as that of the Green Moun
tain boy of years by-gone, and in that heart
there was-a spirit throned—it was that of
the sleeping beauty, the memory of whose
loveliness, as seen in that one glance, had
never left him day nor night.
But should I ever meet her? And would
not the memory of tfiat awful moment come
between us ? Would she net hate me should
she ever see me ? Would fortune favor me
•so that we should ever meet ? for I knew 1
never should dare seek her on the score of
old acquaintance. These and a thousand
like questions I asked myself day alter day,
but only prayed t hurt I might be, and har.liy
dared to hope.
I at once returned to my profession in
Philadelphia. I have said already I had no'
mean powers, I worked hard, and fortune
helped me. I soon had all that heart could
wish —except —all for which my heart was
wishing. Would it never come? Should 1
neve/ sec this beauty of my dreaths I 1 had
lost all traces of her, but I went constantly
into society, not because I cared for it, but
as one searches for a needle in a hay mow,
in the vain hope that I might see her. And
at last I did. It was al an evening party.
There she was, more beautiful than ever.
Then all my courage forsook me. I was the
bashful law student again, 1 felt as I had
at that fateful moment years ago, as it 1
should faint, -or scream, or run away. But
’twas but for a moment. Then I said,
“fortune will favor me if Tis to be, that
which I seek so earnestly; she will never
recognize me and alt will be well. ’ 1 was
just casting about me to think how 1 should
seek an introduction, when our hostess, who,
I bad noticed, was talking with her, crossed
over to inc and said charmingly :
• “I must introduce all our great lights to
my country Cousin, Miss Dale. Will you
know her ?” •
“With all my heart,” I replied, and joined
her gaily, though ray knees shook under
me, for 1 thought, “if she recognizes me, it
is all over.” But when I was presented
“Cousin Mnrv, thia-is my special friend,
Mr. Smith, just returned from life abroad.”
I saw tlic beautiful brown eyes contained no
look but that of pleasure al the forming of
AUGUSTA, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2,. 1868.
a new acquaintance, and I was at case and
lighter hearted than I had been through all
these years. F<fr the first time in my life I
rejoiced in my common name of Smith,
since that carried with it no reminder.
I am not going to fell how agreeable I
was that evening nor how fast our acquaint
ance progressed, nor bow I wooed and won
her.
Only once in all that time did my heart
stand still again with fear. That was when
she said one day, looking at me earnestly:
“You do so remind me of some face I
have seen before, but I cannot think whose
it is ”
“Oh,” said I, quickly, “it often happens
we are haunted by the thought of such re
semblances where they don’t really exist.”
I changed the subject instantly, and talked
s) rapidly as to turn the current of hfer
thoughts. fl*en I breathed freely again.
But our wedding night -it had suited my
fitter; and without sieming to order it, I had
brought it about, that it was just five years
from that, other night after we had retired
to my room, which was flooded with the
same glorious moonlight, knowing how faipt
is woman’s heart at such an hour, T said,
“My darling, this will not be our first night
together,”
The brown eyes turned to me full of
wonder. So then I took her hand and said,
half laughing, thoitgb imitating the .old
frightened tones, “Mary, 'don’t scream or be
frightened. We have been the victims of
a very Unfortunate accident, but none but
ourselves shall ever know it.'*
She burst into a rtpp'e of laughter.
“Oh, you old darling, was it you? So
that was the face you reminded me of?
How strange 1 should forget! Well, how
glad lam it is so. But remember now, “None
but oftrselves shall ever know.”
