A Woman’s Life.
BY LAUBA PEN CEL.
Ada Holmes paused on the gallery and watch
ed with eager eyes the scene visible through the
undrawn curtains of her sister's sitting-room.
There the young mother Bat in the fitful fire
light, her cheek resting fondly against the gold
en curls of her sleeping child, her eyes fixed
dreamily on the bed of glowing coals. Ada
coaid almost read in that rapt face the tender
fancies about the future of the little one now
sheltered in the loving mother arms. The coals
with their magic mirror fell apart and the
dreamer roused. The girl, shivering, turned
for a moment to the growing dusk, the chill,
slow-dropping rain of the street she was quit
ting, then went quickly forward ard entered the
room. She throw hat and waterproof on a chair
and sat at Annie’s feet in silence.
‘Poor child,’ said the latter, ‘you are damp
and chilled, and I had fallen into a reverie and
f jrgotten to ring for lights. A funeral on a day
like this is doubly depressing.’
‘No. Let me rest. I am tired,’ said Ada,
wearily. She looked up with such pain in her
tearless eyes and compressed lips, that Annie
impulsively bent and kissed her.
•The services were long. Are you just from
the grave?'
‘No. I walked several squares before I came
home, trying to shake oft memory and reflec
tion. But when I came in and found you in
your sheltered home, with your happy arms
about your girl and your happy eyes shining
with the reflected light of the future--I saw it
all as 1 stood on the gallery there, and you were
picturing to yourself her happiness—were you
not, dear?—then the bitterness of that other
life came back to me a thousand fold. That
young mother, no older than you, Annie, thank
ing God, as for one gracious boon to cancel all
her ills, that she may take with her into the
grave the little girl, for whom she had prayed
before its birth, ‘Oh God, let my child not be a
woman !'
‘Was she so very unhappy, Ada ? I did not
know that you knew much of her.’
‘Yes, I knew. It is such miserable knowledge
as a woman does not like to share even with a
sister. Now that the earth has shut Josephine
away from ail humiliation I can tell you. I met
her first three years ago at our church. She was
a constant attendant, and a member of Dr. Cale’s
Bible cla»3. We usually sat together, and soon
became intimate. She was beautiful then. Sen
sibility and spirit gave life and sparkle to her
delicate, highbred features, and lustre to her
large dark eyes. The fire had died in them
when you saw her, Annie, and the soul, which
is nine-tenths in her type of beauty, had left its
throne to sit in mire and ashes. Her wit, spark
ling, but never bitter; her unconscious talent
and taste—for she had marked taste, and her
dress, though never of new or rich material,
was always artistic—attracted the girls, but she
pleasantly baffled all their efforts at intimacy
beyond the church gates. I sometimes walked
with her several sqnares after afternoon service,
but she never led the way to her own home, or
invited me to visit her.’
‘We used frequently to go together to the dear
Old City Cemetery. It bad grown unfashiona
ble even then, and very few besides ourselves
frequented it Her mother’s grave drew her
there, and I went to meet her. There in the
quiet and seclusion of the long summer after
noons, I learned the secret of her life. Not all
at once, and not by conscious revelations. She
was too highbred and too proud to complain.
But I could see, by little half-cheeked utterances
or swift flashes of bitterness and disgus*bn her
expressive face, that she was not happy; I be
lieve I was her only friend in the city; indeed,
she said so, and the heart must have some out
let when its springs boil up with gall. Jose
phine’s family, the Blands, were refugees from
Norfolk; and, during her mother’s life were peo
ple of wealth and culture. With what agony of
tenderness and regret she spoke of her noble
mother ! That memory was the pole star of all
those stormy years. The hope to keep herself
pure, to meet with glad and level eyes in eter
nity, stayed Josephine when, sometimes, her
faith lost hold on God. The year the Southern
war closed, the mother died. In another year
her lather had married again, this time a wo
man, the antipodes of his first wife. You have
seen her. Annie, the red-faced, gross and low
voiced woman, whose glaring dress and vulgar
manners attracted your attention at church last
Sabbath. She, too, was recently bereaved and
brought her widow's weeds and five children to
the nuptial altar. Her husband was a blockade
runner, smuggler, or something of the sort; and
had got together a considerable sum of money
in gold. This was entrusted to Mr. Bland for
investment. The man had been an employee
of his in Norfolk. He risked it together with
his own fortune in some mad enterprise to stay
the falling Confederacy and both were lost in
the general crash. Mr. Bland was a Southern
enthusiast. His faith in the Cause did not fal
ter to the end; and its utter wreck, then, struck
him from his self-poise and unnerved him.
About the same time, this woman’s husband
was killed in some lawless venture, and she en
raged at the loss of the money compromised
the matter—by what persecution, who will tell?
—with marriage. Their present home was se
cured to her; and, by filling it with associates
like herself or worse, she broke off its former
intimicies. Josephine, when not engaged in
household work, kept herself close in her cham
ber, which she shared with a step-sister. Even
there she could not escape the taunts of avarice
and of fierce resentment at her isolation and its
implied consciousness of superiority. All of
the family sewing fell upon her.’
‘ I did not learn these things from Josephine.
She held her father’s name and acts sacred.
But such things always get out, you know. And
people who knew them in Norfolk and here,
seeing the interest I took in Josie talked to me
about her. And so I heard she had a lover and
had rejected him, no one knew why.’
‘A little lover in round jackets, at first, was
he; a handsome, careless, daring fellow, a boy
hero and dreamer, true to a child-love, fed by
poverty and fiction. In this atmosphere of ro
mance, the two children grew up. The school
boy fancy ripened into the man’s strong passion
without a break; and when he marched away
with his regiment he left a ring on her hand,
and carried with him her picture and her glove.
I said he was romantic. Well, he speedily won
his spurs on the field, and Basil Boss, the pri
vate, became Col. Boss.’
‘It all came out in a sort of moral storm, near
ly two years after our intimacy began. She had
made no sign, and I believe would have kept
her secret had he only left her in peace.’
‘ We had got to meeting at the old Cemetery.
One porner, a little wilderness of lilac, and hon
eysuckle and violets, was peculiarly ours, and
then we would bring our books and work, and
read or talk together. A desire for those violets
lured me thither one spring afternoon, when
there had been no assignation. The charm of
the place kept me there day-dreaming till near
sunset, when she came. She sank on the sward,
pale and trembling and too faint to speak. I
thought at first that she was taken suddenly ill,
but there was a hunted look in her eyes that
I breath, and to pray.” She put hex arms around
Jme and her face against my bosom and clung to
me. Presently, she burst out passionately that
she must go away; that it was criminal to stay;
that it was a cruel and wicked law that one
should not give one’s self rest and peace forev
er, when it was more wrong to live than to die!’
I let her go on without a word, only smoothing
her hair and clasping her close, until tears oame
and the storm had spent its force. When she
lay at last in my arms, trembling with exhaus
tion. she told me in broken words her story.’
Before they fled from Norfolk she had been
played upon to believe her soldier lover false or
careless. Through mischance or interception
his letters failed to reach her, and her pride was
already alarmed when she left that city. His
cousin bad been their confidante, and she prom
ised Josephine to keep her posted concerning
his movements, and to forward his letters. The
artful jealous woman did neither. Such items
as she did give were carefully prepared to feed
the flame that was consuming Josephine’s impa
tient heart. Finally, goaded beyond endurance
by wounded love and pride, Josie returned his
ring and letters, through this same cousin, refus
ing to see him again or to open his letters.
Made reckless by this injustice and hopeless of
self-vindication, he threw himself into the wild
est dangers of the field and scout-path, and rev
elled, when off duty, in the maddest dissipations
of society.
Josephine had a brother in the same regiment.
One night they watched together on the eve of
a great battle, when the enemy’s camp fires were
visible on the hills. It was a moment of reac
tion and melancholy, and Boss made a full ex
position of his unwavering fidelity and her in-
explacable injustice. His friend promised his
mediation, and sometime afterward talked it all
over with Josephine, warmly espousing her
lover’s cause. From the fullness of her gener
ous heart she wrote an entire recantation of her
last action and an avowal of unchanged love.
This was intrusted to her brother for deliver
ance. On his return to his regiment, Boss had
been detailed for some distant duty. Appomat
tox followed, but young Bland broke away to
Johnson’s army. What need to follow him ?
Faithful to the precious missive in his pocket
Testament, he inclosed it to Boss with a short
note, scrawled by dying hands in a southern
hospital. Then the fever had stricken him
down while striving to reach Dick Taylor’s band
across the Mississippi. Soiled, worn, out of
date, the letter reached Boss’ hands to find
him married, married to the woman whose
machinations had wrought it all. He left Nor
folk the hour he received it, and came on direct
ly to see her.
From this interview she fled to the cemetery.
The sight of his passionate despair was more
than she could bear, and at his declaration of
past fidelity she fainted. Bapidly pacing the
floor he untwisted the whole plot. He cursed
his fatal rashness, burled bitter scorn at his ab
sent wife, whom he vowed he would never see
again, and declared he would visit Josephine
regularly with or without her consent. Her ter
ror and suffering finally drove him away, but he
left with an appeal to her pity for his lifelong
remorse; and an avowed purpose to renew the
interview, to pursue and find her however she
might flee him, and renew their old relation of
lovers.
To the cemetery, the oasket of her mother’s
dust, the one saored place earth held for her she
came to collect her energies and plan her future.
Never to see him again, to interpose some insur
mountable obstacle of distance or circumstance,
this must be ! But how? She had neither funds
nor friends, and her only relatives lived in Nor
folk—his home. She bad already vainly tried
every door to employment for which she was
fitted, seeking a refuge from her coarse step
mother. She said she would accept menial ser
vice to secure independence. But what woman
wanted cook or house maid whose-wsieg-anca of
air and person shamed her own ? Josephine
had no hope of sympathy a id protection in her
miserable home. Mr. Bland was generally in
toxicated, and habitually avoided his daughter,
who was a wordless reproach to him. His wife
had so little of womanliness that she could not
even have appreciated Josephine's position.
One avenue of escape opened to her, and it
yawned at the girl’s feet like the abyss of Hell.
This Jim Barton, with whose family Mrs. Bland
visited, had shown unobstrusive but unmistaka
ble admiration for Josephine. He instinctively
recognised the great gulf between them, and, I
believe, would never have dared lift his eyes to
her as his wife, but for Mrs. Bland. She favor
ed his suit, but her rude hints and jests had un
til now, excited in Josephine no other feelings
but momentary disgust.
The man was repulsive in person and manner,
low in his taste and ignorant, but honest and
industrious, Josephine swayed between dis
gust and terror, looking every way for some re
prieve. Col. Boss would listen to no appeal.
His wilful and reckless spirit would recognize
no obligation in a ceremony into which he had
been duped and surprised, paramount to the
vows of years. His answer to all was:
‘We have been betrayed. I love you.’ But
across the threshhold of her married life
she knew he would never come.
I saw very little of her then. I think the
knowledge of her degrading struggle, and even
my sympathy pained her. But I know that af
ter a second visit from Boss she married Barton.
After that she came no more to the Cemetery,
and I saw her only rarely at church, when she
went away swiftly with her husband, giving me
neither word nor glance. I visited her once in
her new home in his mother’s house, but his
sister’s were present, and though she flushed
with pleasure on seeing me sne paled again im
mediately, and made no effort toward a private
interview.
I did not go again till yesterday. His Bister
came to me with a message of entreaty:
‘Josephine is dying. Would I go tajier?’
‘Oh Anna, I was thanking God for taking her
all the way ! Her ethereal white face was trans
figured with a far away, waiting look, as though
she saw across the boundary line into eternity.
She begged them to leave us alone; and then
turned to me with the first really happy smile I
had ever seen upon her face.
‘See, Ada,’ she said, ‘how good God is to me.
Here is my little girl that I may take away with
me again. She is two weeks old to-day, my lit
tle Margaret! and I have dared to name her for
mamma since she died. You will cover her
with lillies and white rosebuds, Ada ? She at
least is pure. Lay her on my heart, when it is
still. My MaTgaret, my pearl! She cannot wait
longer for me, and I must die to-night.’
‘Oh, Anna,’ cried Ada, ‘I covered them both
with lilies. She was a lily herself.’
An Incident in Naples.
How an Insult to a Daughter of General Lee
was Resented by Some of her Countrymen.
It has been considered to be proper by a num
ber of Americans now in this city to give yoar
readers an account of the shameful treatment of
a distinguished American la ty by one of the
proprietors of the Hotel Boyal des Etrangers,
one of the largest hotels in this city, and of the
just punishment which he reoeived at the hands
of gentlemen who were ready to peril their lives
in the cause of right and truth against imposi
tion and oppression npon an unprotected
lady.
Miss Mary Custis L9e, a daughter of Gen.
Bobert E. Lee, arrived here a few days since in
company with some lady friends from Malta,
who registered at the above named hotel. It
appears that daring the night of the 8th instant,
the mosquito bar around the bed ignited acci
dentally from a candle which Miss L9e had
lighted. In a few moments the flames spread
and caught the lace curtains, and the room was
soon envoloped in flames, which Miss Lee heroi
cally endeavored to suppress, but without suc
cess, and fearing that the hotel might be burn
ed, she gave the alarm of fire, which soon was
h*ard by some gentlemen who were oocupving
rooms on the same floor, when ex-Judge Sam
uel W. Melton and Mr. W. A. Clark, of Colum
bia, S. C., were the first who came to the rescue
of Miss Lee, and succeeded in saving her money
and valuable jewelry from the flames. The
morning following the fire, Miss Lee expressed
her willingness to pay all damages, though the
fire had occurred from accident. The proprie
tor taking advantage of the lady, demanded 2,
000 francs, which was a preposterous and enor
mous charge for the damage. A gentleman from
Ohio, a Mr. Poland, a guest of the hotel, who
has been vice-president of an insurance com
pany for a number of years, estimated the dam
age at $70. The friends of Miss Lee at once
demurred to this enormous charge. The Amer
ican consul, Mr. Duncan at this place, was ex
ceedingly kind, and protested against the pay
ment of any such sum. The proprietor now
being foiled in his disgraceful effort to over
charge for damage occurring from accident, be
came insolent and spoke in a manner which re
flected upon Miss Lee. The insult was quickly
resented. Mr. Clark, of Columbia, S. C., struck
him over the head with an umbrella. In a few
moments the proprietor was surrounded by a
number of Italians itfbo were clerks, waiters,
and attaches of the hotel, but they were met by
Judge Melton, Col. John T. Sloan, Jr., Mr. D.
A. P. Jordan, of South Carolina, and Dr. I. B.
Iioberts, of Georgia, who by their courage and
determination caused them to stampede and
call for the police. A large crowd soon assemb
led about the hotel. The proprietor was de
nounced by Col. Sloan for his conduet towards
Miss Lee, and challenged him to go into the
garden and answer for the same with swords or
pistols, which the proprietor declined to accept.
It would be well for all Americans to avoid this
hotel when coming to Naples.

The success which the Kenmore High School hag
