jiT To flic Public—As there are many Gift
book stores advertised throughout the country, Mr.
EVANS deems it just to himself and his duty to the
public—-inasmuch as he originated the Gift-book busi
ness—to state as evidence of the instability of many of
such concerns, that they conceal their real names from
the public and are advertising their business, under
assumed ones. Mr. E., is aware that these various con
cerns published us Gift-book stores, arc calculated to
bring the business established by himself into disrepute.
He asks of the public a correct judgement in regard to
his Gilt book enterprise; for the honor, integrity, and
success, of which he refers to a]] the prominent pub
lishers in the United States. Head his catalogue.

THE WIFE’S APPEAL.
Come near me, let me lay my hand
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper iu thine ear
Love’s last and fondest vow.
The lips that breathe these trembling words
Will soon be cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel no more
Their warm and loving breath.
I go from thee; God only knows •
How I have longed to stay—
How I have shuddered thns to tread
The lone and shaddowed way.
Faith tells me that I soon may know
The joys the blessed find.
And yet 1 falter when I cast
A lingering look behind.
I see thee bowed before me here,
In bitterness and tears.
But I can leave thee something still
To light thy weary years.
Young tender forms will cling to thee
Perhaps will miss wy tone.
And though they may not share tby grief,
Thou wilt not feel alone.
Fold them still closer to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hours
The motherless must know.
The world with all its hopes and joys,
Will sometimes make "thee glad,
But they must linger round a hearth
All desolate and sad.
And 0! when time shall calm thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come,
When thou wilt win another form
To share thy heart and home:
When thou wilt welcome to thy board
A younger, fairer face,
And hid tliy children smile on her
YVho takes their mother's place.
But think not, could I speak to thee,
That I would frown or blame,
Though they should love the stranger one,
And call her by my name ;
For they will speak to thee of me,
My memory is their trust,
A word, a smile, a look like mine.
Will call me from the dust.
Yet make my grave no place of tears,
But let the dear ones bring,
To cheer their mother's lonely home.
The blossoms of the spring.
And even there, thou too, may'st kneel.
And softly press the earth
That covers her whose face once gave,
A brightness to thy hearth.
Then will tho forms of early years
Steal softly to thy side.
And for an hour thou caifst forget
Thou hast another bride.
She may be all thy heart can ask,
So dear, so true to (lice,
But O! the spring- time of thy love,
Its freshness was for me.
May she be blest who comforts thee,
And with a gentle hand,
Still guide the little trembling ones
YY’ho make our household band;
She cannot know the tenderness
That tills their mother's breast,
But she can love them for thy sake
And make them more than blest.
Yet keep one place, one little place,
From all the rest apart.
One spot which I will call “a home,”
Within their faithful heart;
And in the holy hour of dreams,
When spirits fill tho air.
With tender eye and folded wing
I’ll softly rest me there.
May God forgive this erring love
That is to mortals given.
It almost woos my spirit back
From happiness and heaven.
And yeti feel it will not die
YY'hen this frail life is o'er,
But watch till all my loved ones come
Where we shall meet to part no more.
From the Home Journal.
(atrrhLai for the Engaged.
Before I trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine.
Before I let thy future give,
Color and fonn to mine—
Before I peril all for thee,
Question thy soul to-night for me.
I break all slighter bonds, nor feel
One shadow of regret;
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet ?
Or is tby faith as fair and free
As that which I can pledge to thee ?
Look deeper still. If tliou cans’t feel
YY’ithin thy inmost soul,
That tliou hast kept a portion hack,
Wltilo 1 have asked the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow
But in true mercy tell me so.
Is there within thy heart a need
That mine cannot fulfill ?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still ?
Speak now, lest at some future day
My whole life wither and decay.

“Roderiego, to you I owe the preservation of my

“What fearful mystery is here, compared with
which the assault on William Patterson sinks
into insignificance?” ejaculated Roderiego.

CHAPTER IV.
“If the red slayer thinks he slays,
Or if the slain thinks he is stoic,
It makes slight difference either ways,
I let ’em up and go in again —Emerson.
The Count D’Nincompoop left the Castle, his
tall person closely enveloped in a cloak, which
disclosed his noble form to advantage, and pur
sued his way to the mansion of Lady Isabella.—
With cautions steps he ascended the staircase,
until he reaches tho room where wa have intro
duced her in the last chapter, and opening the
door beholds Roderiego endeavoring tc restore
Lady Isabella to consciousness.
•‘Ha! ha! Roderiego, I have thee at last!" and ere
tho brave Roderiego could speak, he plunged his
dagger into his bosom.
Roderiego d’Polliwog fell mortally wounded,
the blood rnnning in a crimson stream upon the
carpet.
D’Nincompoop gazed a moment at the body,
and then endeavored to arouse the Lady Isabella!
She opened her eyes and shuddered when she
beheld the Count.
“Where is Roderiego ?” sho asked in agitation.
“Perfidious female woman, behold!” he ex
claimed, as he pointed to the corpse. “My ven
geance is completed. The Blood-Tub has wiped
out his wrongs with blood!"
Isabella gazed with an idiotic look upon the
form of him whom she loved.
“Let me have a relic of the glorious deed,’’ he
snid, and stooping took from the pocket of Rode
riego a broken tooth pick. It was slightly stained
with blood from the wound.
CHAPTER V.
“Dry up and suspend.’’—Anonymous.
The news of the murder of Roderiego spread
with rapidity throughout the city. The vigilant
Vidocques of Capt. Charpentier were on the alert,
and by the orders of Coroner Buford the Count was
arrested, and the mutilated tooth-pick was found
upon his person.
Isabella was summoned as a witness, but alas!
could give no evidence—she had become an idiot!
The Count endeavored to prove that the blood
noon the tooth-pick was not arterial, but he was
found guilty and sentenced to be hanged.
But hark! what cry is that breaks on the star
tled ear—“Ere’s the Evening Merkry! got the
recovery of Roderiego!”
The news was true. Roderiego was not mor
tally wounded, and with the aid of the “retired
physcian, whose sands of life have nearly run
out.” recovered his usual health.
But little remains for us to relate. The Connt
D'Nincompoop was released by the intercession of“s
Roderiego; but remorse and bitterness had shut
out all sunshine forever from his life. In his
wretchedness he sought to hide himself from the
world in some place where no sensation of pleas
ure or comfort would ever redeem the deep des
pair aud misery which he wood and cherished as
the very “luxury of woe” So he. went to board at
the St. L"uis Hotel, in New Orleans. In a fit of
diabolical passion at bearing at the marriage of
Roderiego d.Polliwog to the Lady Isabella D'Fit-
zimpkius, he dashed his brains out with a bar of
soap.
Roderiego and Isabella, who, after the murder,
had procured a divorce from the Count, lived hap
pily together, and many little Pollawogs squirmed
around their feet.

CHAPTER I.
“Now is the winter of my discontent
Made double hitter by the scarcity
Of lager beer .’’—Shakspear.
“Lager, more lager!” hoarsely shouted the Count
D’Nincompoop to his attendants as he sat at the
banquet table, in the Hall of Nincompoop Castle.
The butler hastened to obey the order, and soon
returned with the iutelligence’that the lager was all
gone.
“No lager?” shouted the Count in a voice of
thunder.
“Nary glass !” replied the trembling menial.
“Fool why dids’t tliou not provide more of that
Teutonic beverage? But go, depart, evaporate!
ere in my rage 1 strike out from'the shoulder like
an “artist,'’ and give you ‘jessie.’”

Count was alone.

speaks, while his maDjy face was distorted with
fearful passion.
“Isabella D’Fitzsimpkins, thou shalt be mine;
aye, haughty beauty, never shall Roderiego call
you wife. My plans are laid, ami unlike the New
Orleans Merchants, 1 know- no such thing as
“fail.” Rodcrigo, the Blood-Tub is on thy track;
beware, beware!”
With the suiile of a demon, he drew from its
sheath a glittering dagger and sharpened it on his
boot.

Roderiego D Polliwog was an orphan. This
melancholy circumstance, it is generally believed,
was caused by the death ot his parents. He
loved with all the fiery ardor of his impetuous
nature, the beautiful Lady D’Fitzsimpkins. To
him she owed her life; for one day she walked
forth in all her maiden loveliness, to purchase a
pint of pea-nuts, a pair of frightened horses dashed
madly down the street. All, except Isabella fled,
but she seemed as if rooted to the spot. Nearer
they approach—a piercing shriek rends the air—
they are almost upon her, when a youth rushes
from a lager beer saloon, seizes the steeds by the
reins, aud—and supreme strength throws them
into the middle of next week! Having accom
plished this herculean feat, he bears Isabella into
a drinking saloon, where she soon recovered, and
is escorted heme by the gallant Rouereigo.—
‘Twas thns they met.
That night Isabella slept not.—Thoughts of
Roderiego filled her mind, and she conjured up,
bright as the lustrious sign of the Alhambra, vis
ions of the future. And Roderiego, too, wooed ths
God of Sleep in vain.

Suicide of “Frank Forrester”—Sr. Herbert’s
Letter to tbe Press.
William Henry Herbet, known to the
literary and sporting world as “Frank For
rester,” committed suicide, by shooting
himself with a pistol at the Stevens
House, Broadway, this morning.
mr. Herbert’s letter to to the press.
The following letter was found upon hU
table, with the following inscription upon
the envelope:
“TO THE PRESS OF AMERICA.”
“The Tribune, Times, Courier and En
quirer, with a request to copy.”
To the Tress of the United States of America-.
“Before going to my account, I would
say a few words to the Press of America,
and to its conductors, as to men among
whom I have for many years been more or
less associated.
“I have my faults, my failings; I have
done my share of evil in my life, as all
«ien have done; perhaps I have done my
share of good likewise.
“Of my private history, few men know
anything, lewer still know much—no one
knows the whole; it cannot concern the
public to know anything. As a writer let
me he judged; as a man let my God jduge
me.
“I implore not praise, not a favorable
construction—I implore silence. For what
I have to account with God, let me ac
count with God, and not with man, who
may uncertainly perceive and distinguish
facts, but certainly cannot perceive causes
or divine notions or intentions.
I do not now ask charity—I only im
plore silence.
“Let the good that I have done, if any,
be interred with my hones; let the evil, al
so—for tbe evil, I can say positively, is
such as can do no evil after me. I have
taught, inculcated, I have put forth
nothing which I do believe to he false or
evil, or anything which I do not believe to
be good and true. In all my writings, I
have written no line of which I am
ashamed, no word which I desire to blot.
“I have done many things wrongly,
many things of which 1 am ashamed, many
things of which I have sincerely repented,
many things under the pressure and tempta
tion of poverty and necessity, to which I
am not occastomed by my condition, which
I hope I should not do again under any
temptation.
“I am very sorry I have been weak at
times and have fallen—who has not done
so?
“For justice sake, for charity’s sake, for
God’s sake, let me rest. I bear an honor
able name. I have striven bard, in great
trials, in a false position among men who
did not, perhaps could not, sympathize
with me, to keep it honorable—as you
would have your own names honored and
your sons preserve them to you, I charge
you do not dishonor mine. Few will miss
me when I am gone; probably none lament
me—so be it! Only, I implore you, do not
misinterpret and malign me.
“Having said this, I have said nearly
all—one word more only—if, as [ presume
will he the case, my earnest anil hopeful
appeal for repose be disregarded—if the
vultures of the press pounce on my cold
remains, to tear through them, the heart
strings of my living relatives—to blazon
forth all my misdedes, iu unblushing colors
to the sun—let none of my friends—if I
have a friend—stand forth to defeYid me.—
Defence only provokes bitter attack, and
gives a keetfer tooth to scandal.
“I die forgiving every man who has
wronged me, asking forgivene^B of every
man whom 1 have wronged. I hava
atoned, so far as I know, or can atone, for
every wrone I have ever done.
“I have the means, I believe, if they be
carefully managed, to pay everything
that I owe, and, perhaps, to leave a small
surplus.
“I never shrank, while I was alive, from
meeting the consequences of my deeds
face to face, I never said a word to a
man’s back which I would not or did not
say to his face.
“Remember now, all yen that would as
sail me, that my bach, is turned forever; that
henceforth I ran disprove no slander that
is spoken o*’ me; that with no witness can
he ever more confronted; that from no ae-
