MY HUSBAND’S SECOND WIPE.
A Womon’a Revelation.
My husband foame tondorly to my
side.
“Areyou going out thiB evaning,
lovo ?”
“Of course,'I nml"
I looked down complacantly at my
dress of pink orepo, dew-dropped over
with crystal, and trails of pink azaleas
that caught up its folds heio and there.
A diamond bracelet enciroled one round
white arm, and a little cross blazed fit
fully, at my throat. I had never look
ed better,and I folt a sort of girlish pride
as my eyo mot the fairy reflection iu
the mirror.
“ Come, Gerald, make haste I Why,
you haven’t begun to dress yet 1”
Whoro wore my wifely Instincts,that
I did not see the haggard, drawn look
In Ills features—tha fevered light In hts

am not well enough.”
“ You aro never ‘well enough’ to

ing put off with such excuses.”
lie made no auswer, but drooped
his head in his hands, on the table be

“Oh, como, Gerald,” I urged, petu
lantly ; “ it is so awkward for mo to go

He shook his head, listlessly.
“ I thought, perhaps, you would he

“ Men aro so selfish 1" I said, plain
tively! “ and I am all dressed. Clau

dare say you'll bo a great deal quieter
without mo—that is, if you are determ

No answer again.
“ Well, if you choose to bo sullen, I
can't help it," I Bald, lightly, as I turn
ed and wont out of the room, adjusting
iny bouquet-holder, the tulie-roses and
heliotropes seeming to distill incense
at every motion.
Was I heartless and cruel ? Had I
ceased to lovo my husband ? From
the bottom of my heart, I believe that
I loved him as truly and tenderly as
ever wife did j but I had boon so spoil

With roses and winged With music and
perfume; and it was not until, wearied
with dancing, I sought a momentary
refuge in tho half-lighted tea-room,
that I heard words wakening me, as it
were, from n dream.
“Gerald Glon Ufa ......
I could not well bo mistaken in the
name—it was scarcely common-place
enough for that. They were talking
—two or three hnsiness-like-looking
gentlemen in the ball without; and I
could catch,' now and then, a fugitive
word or phrase.
“ Fine, enterprising young fellow-!”
—“Grent pity I”—“ Totally ruined, so
Hoes and MoMorkon sny”—"Reckless
extravagance of liis wife I”
All tlicso vagus fragments I heard
and then some one said, “ And what is
ho going to do now ?”
“ Wlmt can ho do ? Poor fellow!—
I aril sorry; but ho should have calcu
lated his income and his expenses bet
ter."
“Or his wife should. Oh, these wo
men ! they are at tlie.bottom of all a
man’s troubles I”
And tiloy laughed. Oh, how could
they ? I had yet to learn how easy it
is, in this world, to boar other peoplo’s
troubles!
I rose hurriedly up, with my heart
healing tpiinulutously beneath the pink
azaleas, nnd wont back to the lighted
saloon. Mr. Albany Moore was wait
ing to claim my hand for tiro next
dance,
“Aro you ill, Mrs. Glon? How
pale yon iook I"
“.I—I am not very wall. I wish
you would have my carriage called,Mr.
Moore."
For I felt now Hint homo was tho
proper place for me 1
Harried by some unaccountable im
pulse, 1 sprang out the moment the car
riage-wheels touched tho curbstone,and
rushed up to my husband’s room
The door was locked ; but I could see
a light shining faintly under the thresh-
hold. I knocked wildly and persist
ently.
■* Gerald, dear Herald! for heaven’s
sake lot mo in 1”
Something fell on tho marble hearth
stone within, making a metal® clinch,
nnd my husband opened the door a lit
tle way. I had never seen him look so
pale before, or so rigid, yet so determ
ined.
“ Who aro you ?” ho demandod, wild
ly. “ Why cauuot you leave me in
ponce V 1
“ It’s I, Gerald—your Madeline—
your own little wife."
And I caught from Ills hand the pis
tol he was striving to conceal In his
breast—its mate lay- on the marble
hearth, under the mantle—nnd flung it
out of tho window.
“ Gerald 1 would you have loft me?”
“ I would have escaped!" ho cried,
still half-delirious, to all appoarnnccs.
“ Debt—disgrace—misery—her re
proaches I Z would lmvooBcapod them
all!”
His head fell, like that of a weary
child, on iny shoulder. I drew him
gently to a sofa, nnd Boolhed him with
a thousand murmured words—n thou
sand mule caresses! For had it not
all been my fault ?
And through all tho long weeks of
fear that followed, I nursed him with
unwnivoring care nnd devotion. I hnd
but one thought—one desire—to re
deem myself in his estimation; to prove
to him that I was something more and
higher than the mere butterfly of fash
ing I had hitherto shown myself!
Well, tho March winds had howled
thomselvos away Into their mountain
fastness; th.o brilliant April rain-drops
wore dried on bough and spray; nnd
now tho apple blossoms were tossing
lhoir : frngruiit billows of pinky bloom
In tho deep blue air of latter May.
Whoro .wero wo now ?
It was a pleturcsquo little villa, not
far out of Now Orleans, furnished very
like a mngnlilcent baby-house. Oerald
sat In a cushioned casy-chnlr in tha
garden, just whoro ho oould glance
through tho open window at me, work
ing busily with my noedle.
“ What an industrious fairy It Is 1”
ho said, Bmlltng sadly.
“ Well you soo, I liko it I It’s a groat
deal better than those sonatas on tho
piano I"
“ Who would ever have thought you
would make so notable a housekeep
er ?”
I laughed gleefully—I had all a
child’s delight In being praised.
“ Aro you not going to Miss Dclau-
coy’s croquet party ?” ho pursued.
“ No; what do I caro for croquet
parties? I’m going to finish your shirts,
nnd you’ll road aloud to me 1”
“ Madeline, I wantyqu to auswor mo
ono question.”
“Wlmt is it?”
“ What have you done with your
diamonds ?”
“ I sold thorn long ago—they paid
several heavy bills, besides settling
half a yeiir’s rent hero I"
“ But Madeline, you wore so proud
of your diamonds 1”
“ I was once; now, they would bo
the bitterest reproach my eyes could
meet. Oh, Gerald, had I been less
vain, nnd thoughtless, and extrava
gant ”
I checked myself, and a robin, sing
ing in the perfumed deptns of apple-
blossoms, look up tho dropped current
of sound I
“ That’s right,little red-breast,” said
my husband, half jokingly, “ talk her
down I She lias forgotton that our past
is dead and gone, and that wo have
turned ovor a now page in tho Bopk of
Existence 1 Madeline, do yon know
how I feel, sometimes, when I sit and
look at you ?”
“No!”
“ Well, I feel like a widower who
lias mnrricd again I"
My heart guvo a little superstitious
jump.
“Like a widower who has married
again, Gerald
“ Yes; I can remember my first wifo

out any idea beyond the gratification
of present whims—a spoiled plaything I
Well, that little Madeline has vanished

man, whose watchfaTlove surrounds
me like an atmosphere, whose charac
ter grows more noble, and develops it
self into new depths and beauty every
day 1”
I was kneeling at his side, new, with
my check upon his.arm, and my eyes
looking into his!
“ And which do you love best, Ger
ald—the first or tho second wife ?”
“ I think tho trials nnd vicissitudes
through which we hnve passed aro wel
come indeed, sluco they liavo brought
me, ns their harvest fruits, tho price
less treasure of my second wifo 1”
That was wlmt Gerald answered mo
—the sweetest words Hint ever fell up
on my ear 1

Such pious shavers I despise;
With folded bauds and face demure,
They lilt to Heaven their “angel oyes,”
And steal the earnings from the poor.
I do not liko snob soulless prayers;
If wrong I hope to lie forgiven,
No nngcl’s wing them upward hour—

A Corpse Erightons the Pall-bearers
by Calling for a Julep.
Rather a ludicrous event occnrrod
on Saturday list. It having been re
ported Hint n certain gentleman had
died, nnd was to have been buried on
Saturday evening, quilo a number of
•his old friends and acquaintances re
paired to his house to pay tho last snd
tribute of respect by following his re
mains to the grave.
As the (leatli had been sudden, the
coroner had been summoned, and when
,his duties had been performed the re
mains were placed on nil extemporised
lienrso, and tho procession formed.
Before moving, tho hospitalities of
the deceased’s house were extended to
tlioso present in the shape of a good,
stitr brandy julep to each, so as the
better to enable them to undergo the
fatigue of the long march to tho new
burying ground.
While tho pall-bearers, who wore
standing by the hearse, were slowly
sipping their juleps, nnd nownnd again
giving the goblets a slight slmko to
settle the ice iu them, a noise was
hoala in tho collin, which turned some
faces whiter tlmn they had boon for
years beforo. Finally, tho undertaker
lor tho occasion mustered courage
enough to unscrew the collin lie], when,
horrible to behold, up sat the supposed
corpse, and coolly asked for his julep,
Having quenched his thirst, lie got
down, and stated to the gaping crowd
that lie had been in a sort of trance,
nnd knew all that was going on around
him, but was unable to rouse himself
until his ears wero greeted witli the
familiar jingle of tho ice, and his nose
with the delicious smell of tho brandy
and mint in the goblets round the
hoarse, the thoughts culled forth by
which infusod now lifo into his system,
and the desire to pnrtnko became so
strong that ho was able to break tho
trance which had coibe near to con
signing him to n premature grave.
His friends ware too much astonish
ed at what they had witnessed, and too
glad to see him among thorn again to
investigate the philosophy of the thing,
so they all adjourned to his house,
wherejuleps passed around long enough
to almost accomplish for tho whole par
ty that fate from which tho first one
had so miraculously dehvored their
host.—Norfolk ( Va.) Journal.

A Mystery of tha Falls—Strange Dis
appearance of a Georgia Boy.
A strange story comes to us from tho
falls; not, perhaps, a story that will
catch tho eye of tho reader sooner
tlinn tho thousand and ono curious
tales told by the morning papers all
over the land, or ono that will be re-
tained a moment longer than its odd
companions; but a story nevertheless
that may carry grief to some far-oiT
household, at this moment awaiting
the return of a wanderer from Hie
bright home circle; and perhaps there
is a vacant chair in that l'ar-off house
hold that will never again be filled.
Day beforo yesterday a young man,
apparently a stranger, was seen wan
dering about on Rock Island, the lit
tle river Island opposite and almost be
low tho city, around which tho angry
wators of the big fulls are always roar
ing and plunging as if every moment
threatening to rise and sweep over it.
His youthful appearance and strange
manner called forth comments from a
number, of persons who observed him.
With bowed head, and apparently in a
fit of abstraction, he paced slowly up
and down the shore, every now nnd
then starting suddenly, as if at some
fancied danger, then relapsing ngain
Several gentlemen, anxious to know
who tho stranger could be, and taking
him for an escaped lunatic, went to him
nnd asked the meaning of his unac
countable demonstrations, blit he made
short replies in n husky toifo of voice
to tho effect that he was in trouble,
weary of lire, nnd determined to put
himself out of the world, in one way
or another, boforo another twenty-four
hours. .They attempted to dlssuadp
him from his purpose, hut failed to
move him, and believing ho would gel
over his “fit,” as a good many other
young men have recovered from tho
same complaint, they left him.
Notiiing more has been seen of tho
poor fellow. Yesterday morning some
fishermen discovered n skiff 1 moored to
tho island, and fastened to the chain of
the boat they found a piece of fiat rock
with a number of zig-zag capital letters
scrawled upon it, apparently with a
pin. On one side of tho rock appear
ed these words:
Good By FOREVER
I was horn in Walk
County Georgy er
On tho lOtii of Novem
ber
I AM NO MORE OP EARTH.
Yours forever
II. W. E.
On tho other side of the rock were
scrawled in large letters tho words:
I AM IN TROUBLE
This was all. Tlioro was nothing
whatover beyond tho initials to indi
cate who the author could he, or what
had become of him. The scrawls had
evidently been mado within a very
short time, and wero very light. On
inquiry being made, tho story of the
appearance of a stranger on the island
tho day before, nnd his curious demean,
or, was told, and it was finally concln
(led that the unfortunate young man
had written this ns his farewell to a
world lie had not eonrngo to live in.
Whether ho carried out his declared
purpose is still a mystery, nnd must
remain in doubt until the dark waters
of tho Ohio throw off their burdens,
or until tho supposed suicide turns up
alive and well, wiser and better for Ills
experience in Louisville and on tho
falls—Loumille Courier
A communication in the Romo Cou
rier thus describes the proceedings at
tho colorod church in that city recent
ly. The Courier says:
At a recent attendance of this abom
inable mockery of roligous service, wo
hoard a whining voice sing out,I’m
gwlne to liehen on a ivhito lios,” an
other jumped up, and echoed, “ bless
de Lord, here's a poor sister gwlno to
hall on a black mule.” Ono ralso3 her
hands, and with oyes fixed on the coil
ing screams, “I see Jesus, I see Je
sus, I sco Jesus a lookin at mo.” An
other replies, “ I see him too, a lookin
out do winder nt mo.” Another crios
out, “ bloss de Lord, tell Jesus to send
down a rope and I’ll climb up to heb-
en.” This last idea strikes a dozen or
more with force, nnd they jump up
and down, shouting, “ oend down de
rope, and we’ll ell climb to heben.”
Texas should not bo counted was In-
tended for that and for no other pur
pose. What difference could It make
concerning tho assumed rights of Con
gress to deny to those States represen
tation ill the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives whether their eleetoral
votes were qaunted or not? It lias not
been pretendod, in nny quarter, that it
could inuko any difference. Cortalnly
it could not. If it hnd been supposed
probable that those States would cast
thoir electoral votes for Mr. |Grnnt, no
Jacobins in the whole list would have
thought of denying their right to voto
for President, or could have been per
suaded liy any argument tor favor so
outrageous a proposition. It was sim
ply and only the belief that they would
voto lor Mr. Seymour that caused the
leaders of tho party to say their votes
should not bo counted. i
The suggestions from tho Jacobin
directory, or “Congressional -Republi
can Committee,” in Washington, to
the black-and-tan legislatures, that
they, and not the people-in the South
ern States, should appoint tho Presi
dential electors, was another move to
ward the same object. It was caused
by apprehension in the Jacobin mind
to which recent information from the
Southern States has given rlso—ap
prehensions that, alter ail the time
spent, and efforts exhausted, and ar
mies employed, nnd public revenue
squandered to reconstruct the South
ern States so that tho Jacobin party
could count their votes in Congress
nnd tho Presidential cleotion, their
scheme will fail unless they can prevent
oven the voting negroes aud carpet
baggers that have been elevated with
so much troublo to the station of rul
ing class, from appointing the Presi
dential electors.
The applications of the carpet-bag
ger officials for arms and ammunition
moans the same thing. They mean tho
enforcement of official power against
tho authority of numbers—of the mi
liorily against the majority—or might
against right. They mean tho giving
of electoral votes to Mr. Grant by
overpowering tho will of the majority.
The recent declarations by promi-
it -Republican cuidulatta iu the
Northern Stntcs, that should Mr. Sey
mour recoivo a majority of tho elec
toral votes, his inauguration will -he
prevented by the power of cannon and
bayonets, is simply nu expression of
the same partisan purpose—tho pur
pose to innugurntb Mr. Grant in tho
Presidential office against and in spila
of tho majority.
Tho many indications pointing to
this conclusion ought not to bo over
looked or lost sight of. They nre pa
tents too serious to he trifled witli
They aro omens of evil that no soplio-
morical subterfuge can disguise from
Hie people who will pause to think
The will of the majority expressed in
tho lawful way, is the highest possible
law in this, as in every other republic.
To prevent tho lawful expression of
that will, with intent to defeat it, is to
defy and over-ride that will itself. It
is (reason of the worst character. It
is revolution, pure and simple.
Let it bo generally understood that
tho Jacobin party, assisted by bond
holders’ gold, intend to defeat the will
of the majority by fraud and force, and
it will need no further political argil
ment to assure n majority for Seymour
nnd Blair in every State in tho repub
lic. And there is no disguising Hie
fiiet that tho movements nnd declara-
rntions of tho lenders in that party
clearly indicates such a purpose
