EDWARD REID’S WIFE;
or,
Tried and True.
“My dear Tod,’’l remarked, throw
ing asdle maulstick and pullette for
tho day, and dralvlng my chair to
the fare, the purposo of enjoying n
pipe with my old friend Edward Reid
captain of the fast sailing meechant
rh'p Gull, “you have been married
thaee years have you not?’’
“Yes,” he answered, leaning back
in his chair, and atlhntively contein
plning ceding of my studio, just three
years, iny boy, next New Year’s
Day/’
“Do you know,” I continued laugh
ing, “I ntn going to make a terrible
confession; only pray do not knock
me down, nor cut my acquaintance
forever, for my opinion is now entire*
ly changed.”
“Well, go cm/' aaid Ted; “cosider
tny ncrVes under this snspence.”
“Then, I could not for the life of
me, on my first introduction to your
charming wife, discover what you
conid haVo seen in her, to hate made
her Mrs, Reid,” said I; “you the
handsome lieutenant, about whom
the ladies were always ready to pull
caps—no, I mean chignons.’’
“My dear Malvyn, I am assuredly
not Soing to knock you down nor
perform any other abserdity,” rejoin
ed Ted, srokirrg his long fair mustach!
“fir-t because yon that your opinion
is not changedf and secondly, for the
reffsorf that on my first introduction
to her her I frueyl was much of your
way of thinking.”
“Non sence,’’ I ejaculated.
“It is a fact, upon my word, said
Ted; “I like you, looked on the sur
face, which too offteen leads man
and woman ruto folly; but if you
choose he goes to why I al
tered my opinion,’’
Answering read'll in flic affirmative

my chair nearer; whore upon Ted
Reid began:
“Well, then, I had run through
all the grades of 1117 yrokssion, mid
dy,- forifr, third, arid second mate,
when during my last voyage as lieu
tenant, we happened to be bermd for
India with ft-fT cargo. There were
but few passengers aboard, and we
had dropped some way down Chan
nel before I caught sight of any of
them, save oncer tv'o of my own set,
owing to the stormy weather which
struck us in thedowns, keeping them
to their berths. We bad nearly
come ahead of Plymouth, indeed, be
fore all the passengers mot together
around the captain’s table;- the last
additions were an elde. ly lady, ac
companied by her daughter, and
neice, of whom, I need only trouble
ysu wall the description of the last
two. The daughter then,- was a tall,
gracefully made, elegantly dressed,
handsome blond.
Blue vere her even as the fairy flax;
her complexion of the purest red and
white; her mouth a rose bud, her
nose — her nose—well, I can but say
it harmonized exqnisitly With the
other features of her splended fica.
To this picture, her cousin presented
a decided contrast. She was of mid
dle hight, of a slight form, a pale,
rather sall'ow complexion, as from ill
health, which rendered the features
still plainer than they really were by
nature.”
“Come, come. Ted,” I interrupted,
“that is going a little too far.”
“My dear Mclvyn,’’said he, “I am
only telling you what I thought
then, artrl what you wonld haye
thouht had you seen Mary by the
side of he superb cousin—l dccidod
!y do not refur to my opinion novr.
“Well to proceed: her mouth was
rather too largS. though this was
scarcely to be considered a fault, as it
tins bettor disclosed two perfect
rows ol pearly teeth; her nose was
straight, but of that character which
gives an intellectuality rathe than
beatify to the face; but her eyes seem
ed as if bestowed to redeem all other
defects; they were large,-full, brown,
soft and earnest in expession; while
masses of ricli nut brown hair were
braided back from her forehead and
plaited about her head, Appcarent

ed in manner, speaking rarely save
when spoken to, and then to the pur
pose; frivolity of conversation appear
ing entirely foreign to her nature.
“I think I need scarcely soy which
one of the girls was the principle at
traction on liord ship. The middies,
t saW, signed their hearts out about
Isabel, and drank in deep intoxica
ting draughts of boy's love from be
hind masts, or from the shroud®,
when she appeared on deck; while
the captain, a tine old gentleman of
the ancient regime school, bnashed
up all his gallantry in her service; but
the one most scverly bitten was —
your humble servant.
“Yes. I was, as I believed—madly
in love, At tho dinner table I could
scarcely remove my gazo from her
face—l neglected my own plate in
attendiniug loher3 —I fear that I was
sometimes neglectful of the common
etiquette of the table with regard to
the other ladies. In the evenings I
hung over bet as she sang, for there
was a kind of piano iu the state cab
in, and I was enchanted with her
singing, though indeed her voice was
good rather from culture than nature
and not nearly so sweet as Mary’s.
“Well, we crossed the lino and
doubled the Cape, and I was getting
deeper and deeper in love than ever,

sattisfaction, who I fancied often
called her daughter to account for
not sinking while the iron was hot.
irtsted of showing her power, as ahe
to do,at times, by appearing to treat
me with indifference, or playing oft
Catpain Fitzgerald against me.”
“Pray how did Miss Alary take all
this?” I interpreted.
“Quickly, as if used to tho neglect
and not minding it it,” Ted; “but she
did, and keenly too, for she lo
but neyer mind I did not learn that
till afterwads, and I am relating the
affair strahforward. So to proceed.
“Our vorage liad been blessed with
the most superb weather till near 20
deg, 30 min. S. lat. long. E CO deg.,
when jus after sun down a terrific
storm struck us—a storm which was
a very good imitation of the typhoon
in the China seas.
“We did our best to strengthen
the ship against the mountainous
waves, but unsuccessfully;- ami at
lasi, after oar moat, had gone by the
board, the captain saw that there
was no help for it but to take to the
boats. With difficulty did we get
them lowered and fi led. In the
long boat the passengers were to be
placed; and the captain, holding on
to some of the wrecked rigging, as
he shouted lira orders through a
trumpet, bestored upon me the
office of bringing the ladies upon deck
and seeing them placed in the boat.
“Need 1 say that I rushed down
instantly to the cabin, where my
heart had long proceeded me, and
blind to all other danger caught Isa
bel in my arms and carried her to
the deck, merely saying I should re
turn for her mothe and cousin as soon
as posiblc.
“But good heavens bow she shriek
ed! J 1 In vain-l begged Jlier to bo qui
et, for her own’sake, knowing how
well bow her cries at that terrible
moment of peril would erritato the
men! It is seldom at such* moments
that women—noble beared as they
are—’-appcaa to so much disadvantage
as she did. All my persuasion
proved of no avail. She cried; she
moaned a moment that she could not
die; then the next, that she was sure
that she was sure tha -ho was going
to —011, wotti'd no one save her! She
seemed wild with terror,-and I bored
the bortswain mutter aloud curse at
her “sculling,’, as he received her
from me, and placed her, clinging
frantically to him in the stem of the
fcont.
“Her shrieks were still ringing in
my ears when I daslled back for the
others. They had not waited forme
in the, cabin, but had- come upon
deck, where they were clinging to the
brodtn ” portions of the shattered
mast, Mary Ainsley being the near
est, I was about to lift lie in my arms,
whe I was arrested and startled by
her voice, so ciumly, so steadily did
it issue from her bps.
“Pray, I beseach you, Mr. Reid,
take my aunt first,” sho said,‘her ter
ror is so ebtrearn; I can wai’. I do
not fear death, but can meet it if it be
heaven’s will that death should
ci me.
Bo gently did tins behovior cnn
tast with that of the- shrieking wo
man I had just left, that despite tl o
peril attendant up m cv- ry moment, s
delay, 1 stood transfixed, and raised
my eyes in amazleniotit to tho poung
girl’s lice. It was easily to bo seen
by the blue lights which the “cox
swain was continually burning to il
luminate the dark night; but I asked
myself in nstonulinient, could the face
I then gazed upon ba that of Mary
Ainsley? If it had indeed been plain,
it was so no longer. Its features
were almost angelic; it wrspaie, truly
but no quiver moved tho compressed
mouth, while her splendid brown
eyes looked calmly; firmly, unflinch
ingly into mine. Yes, calmly; though
at that moment even men’s hearts
were agitated. I saw. as she had
said, that she c'ot’ul face death brave
ly, without a murmur, as a man; a
man do I say?—no, better still, sho
could meet it hko a true woman.
“I bog of you not to hesitate, Mr.
Reid,’ she continued, notig that I did
so; ‘every moment is so precious,
Pray save ray poor aunt.”
“I dared not disobey her. Quick
ly I bent my lips to tho small white
that clasp a thin taiy cfrope.Jand ex
claimed earnestly, “Miss Alary Aiits
ley, I have beared of angels, but I
never saw one till this moment,’
“I fancied I saw a bright, radiant
gleam light up her eyes as I spoke;
but I hifrried on to her a tint.
“Alary Ainslro,’ t said, ‘your niece
beseeches you to go first.,
‘•The dear girl!’ cried the Lely,
without hesitation flinging her arms
quickly about mo. “darling Mary,
she is always so unselfish. But oh,
do for heaven’s sake, sir, lake mo
from this terrible place. Save me—
sayc me if you can?
“She uttered no word respecting
her neico’s danger by tho delay, and
felt a strange disgust in my heart,
even at that moment. I lnirried her
to tho boat, then fetched Mary, who,
though the ship was pitching omrin-‘
ously, threat,uing every momon'l to
plunge bows foremost into one of
those awful troughs o e the ocean,
never to rise again, had lost none ol
her calm demeanor.
“Wlion all were in tho boats, wo
drew rapidly away, but had scarcely
got fifty pa ids off, before with one
terrific pitch, tire poor chf ship’s
black hull was engulfed forever'.
“Tho fnirricrfne seemed now fo
have spent itself, and there was little
danger of our being capsized. Our
real peril now lay in not sighting an
island or a fshrp, for we could not, tell
bow much wo htvd bben drifting
ont of the right course. Fruirr thu
last observations the captaiff had ta
ken, he imagined' that we might be
proceeding due south, where there
was hut. small chance of obtaining
help.
“When day succeeded day, and
we saw no sail nor strip of land,
our fears that we had got far out of
the usual track of ships began to in—
craase, sib eng we took good care to
conceal our doubts from the ladies.
With regard to them danger and dif?
ficulty had certainly disclosed the
trite character of the two with whom
wo have most to do. lsabol’s laugh
ter and lightheartedness had entire
ly vanished; she half set,- half lay
against her mother and cousin, ever

moarning and lamerifiiug over her
fate, under her breath, however, for
ropinings had been sharply repriman
ded’by Ca plain Fitzgerald, whose
dread of having his men disheartened
made him speedily set aside all gal
lantry. Ai to Mary Ainsley, she
remained as calm and self posessed as
ever; only casting her in-uhl taciturn
ity aside,-she now seemed to strive
constantly to start pleasant topics of
conversation among us, and fiee
quently addressing cheering, kind
womanly words to the men,-thanking
them grlaefuliy, with her sweet voico
for any little attentions which they
rough, half starved as they were,
tried in eVerv wriy to show the wo

by a long rest, wo all assembled in
the enptnifr's Cabin. Repose had
brought back Isabel’s gaiety and
Mary’s reserve; but I noticed captain
Fitzgerald and all tho crow’s feelings,
like mine, had hndegortc a marvelous
chaugi Now to get a glance from
mary,s brown liquid eyes, seemed a

ignorance and sloth. The log houses
were unprovided with anything that
could contribute to human comfort.
There was no furniture concept blocks

book or a scrap of printed prper was
to be fonnd in the place. None of
the younger generation had ever
been to tire nearest town. All were
profoundly ignorant of the world,
and devoid of either religion ot mor

subsistence from such scanty crops as
their lazp habity prompted them to
obtain, and from the game of the
