PUGHE. 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.” ‘ NEW YORK HOUSES, Special Notice. z Jr ' 111 w < 5 - - JF ‘ W ft § 3 .wF - s -• ’d •p.< 111 3- « W < I tfl s * « c /j I ~ H I > "IB 15. = x I' Isl 2§ > C'N r!
