Site had promised him that she
| would mend the lining of his now
i overcoat if lie would wear another
! and leave that at home. And so. as
■ be bad left it, she took it from the
! ball rack and carried it into her sow-
i ing-room. She was Mrs. Wilton, and
: she lmd been married live years, and
i never—never—never in all* that time
bad lmd one unhappy moment. Mr.
; Wilton bad been very attentive, very
kind, very generous, and never made
her jealous. She often said she was
the happiest woman living. Now, as
she looked at the lining and compar
ed the silk with which site was about
replace the torn portion, she was
thinking these thoughts.
They had never had any children,
but when people are all in all to each
other that is no very great grief. All
her care was for him—all his for her.
i “And ho is just the dcareBt, best,
truest fellow in the world,” said Eve
to herself. “I’m not half good enough
for him. I wonder what this is in his
pocket—it bulges it all out of shape.”
She put her hand into the breast
pocket as she spoke, and drew out a
little package wrapped up in silver
paper, and tied witli blue ribbon.
“Something he has bought for me,
1 expect,” said Eve. “I wonder what
it is. 1 think I won’t open it until lie
comes home;” then she laid the silk
across the hole, cut it out and basted
it down.
“1 wonder wliat it is,” said she.
“Tom did mean to get me an opera-
glass, 1 know; but that it not the
shape of the parcel. It dosen’t seem
like a book. It might be lace wound
on a card—real lace—”
She looked at the paokage again.
“I do wonder what it is,” said site,
and hemmed the patch down.
“There wnsn’t much to mend, after
all,” she said. “I thought the tear
much longer. He caught it on a nail
at the ofllce, I know. Now I do won
der what is in that package.”
, Eve put the coat over a chi
pa
“Tom wouldn’t mind,” she said.
“I will just take r peep. I’m sure it
is for me.”
Then she undid the ribbon and un
1 folded thepaper and saw letters.
“Dear Tom!” said she, “lie must
i keep my letters next to his heart, and
1 he has never told me.”
Tite writing was not hers; she saw
' that at a glance.
“His mother’s letters,” she said.
“He loved bis mother so.”
I Then she began to tremble a little
Tor the letters did not begin, “My
I dear son,” nor anything like it. She
‘ cast her eyes over them. They were
! love letters.
“Tom lias loved some other wo
man before ho met me,” she said, be-
j gining to cry. “Ob, foolish, foolish
[ creature that I am. Of course she
died, and he only loves me now. It
was all over before we met. I must
' not mind-” but there she paused, gave
a scream, and then threw the letter
. from her as though it had been a ser-
' pent and bad bitten her. It was
j dated the past week. It was not four
(lays old. “Oh! oh! oh!” cried Eve.
“Oh, what shall I do? Ob, where
shall T go?” At every cry a thought
pierced her breast like an actual stab.
“Tom! my Tom! wliat shall 1 do?
Tom! Tom! He to bo false—Tom! Oh,
1 have gone mad! No. There they
are! They are really there—those let
ters! Why do I not die? Do people
live through such things as these?”
Then she knelt down on the floor
and gathered up the letters mid stead
ily read them through. There were
ten of them. Such love-letters. No
other interpretation could be put
upon them. They were absurd love-
letters—such as are always produced
in court in cases of beach of promise.
And they called him “Bopsy Wopsy,”
and “Darling Barling,” and “Lovey
Dovey,” and “Own Sweetness, and
“Angel of my Soul,” and they were all
signed, “Your own Nellie.”
“It is all true,” said poor Eve,
wringing her hands. “And it is
worse than any thing I ever heard of.
I trusted him so. I believed in him
so. I trusted in him so. My Tom—
mine!”
Then she wiped hei* eyes, gathered
up the letters, wrapped the silver pa
per about them, tied the blue ribbon,
and put them back in the awful
breast pocket of tliat dreadful over-
! coat, and bung it on the hall rack
j again.
“Tom shall never know,” she said,
j “I’ll not reproach him. 1 will never
I see him again; when lie comes borne
| 1 shall be dead. I will not live to
i bear this.” ,
I Then she sat down to think over
the best means of suicide. Nile could
: bang herself to the chandelier with a
j window-blind cord, but then she
l would be black in the face and hid
eous. Nile would drown herself, but
then her body would go floating
down the river to the sea. and drown
ed people looked even worse than
strangled ones. She was too much
afraid of lirearms to shoot herself,
even in this strait. Bhe would take
poison.
Yes, that would be best; and,
though she would never see Tom
again, he would see her, and remorse
would sting him. Here she made a
great mistake.
A man who is coolly treacherous to
women never has any remorse. Re
morse in love alTairs is a purely femi-
niue quality, and even the worst of
the sex are not without it. Howev
er, it is natural to believe that re
morse is possible to a man whom one
has heretofore believed to be un an
gel in human form, and Eve took a
little miserable comfort in the
thought that Tom would kneel beside
her coffin and burst into tears and
passionate exclamations of regret,
which she perhaps might see from
some spiritual post of observation.
No, having put on a hat and a thick
veil, Eve betook herself down the
street and uiound the corner to the
nearest German druggist.
The druggist was an old man, a be
nevolent looking one, with red cheeks
and a smiling mouth; and when she
asked for poison for rats, he said
“So!” and beamed mildly upon her.
“I want it very strong,” said Eve.
“So!” said the druggist.”

“But not to give more pain than is
necessary.” wild Eve.
“To the rats?” asked the druggist.
“Yes,” said Eve, “of course; and it
must be quick, and not make one
black in the face.”
8o!” said the druggist, slowly.
Well, wliat 1 shall give shall not make
' i rat black in (le face.”
With a grave countenance he com
pounded a powder, and handed it
across the counter. Eve took it, pass
ed him the few cents he asked; and
walked off. Once home she went ut
onoe to her room and undressed her
self, and retired to bed, taking the
powder with her. Once or twice she
tasted it with the tip of her tongue,
hoping it wrh not very disagreeable.
Then, finding it sweet, she bravely
swallowed it.
“It is over,” she said. “Oh, heaven
forgive ine, and forgive Toinl” And
then she laid herself down upon her
pillow.
Just os she did so the familiar sound
of a latchkey in the door below star
tled her. Tom never came home at
noon—but there he was now, no one
else but Tom would walk In that cool
way, and now be was calling her.
“Eve—Eve—Eve—where are you?”
Never before had she refused to an
swer that voice. Why had he come
to torture Iter dying moments? Hark!
Noiv he was bouncing up stuirs. He
was in the room.
“What is the matter? Are you ill,
Eve?” lie exclaimed.
“No,” said she faintly—“only tired.”
“Ah! You look tired, little one,”
said lie. “1 came home to get the
overcoat. 1 suppose you’ve found
out by this time tiiut coat in the hall
is not mine. I wore Johnson’s over
coat home from the office last night
by mistake, and he is anxious about
it. He asked me if there was any one
in the house who would be apt to
meddle with papers in the pockets. I
said I thought not. I hadn't a jeal
ous wife—eh? What’s the matter,
Eve?”
“O Tom!” cried Eve, hysterically.
“O Tom, say it agaiu! It was not
your coat? O Tom! kiss me.”
“Why, wliat is the matter, Eve?”
cried out Tom. “You must be ill 1”
Then Eve remembered all.
“Oh, I am a wicked woman, Tom!”
she cried “There were letters in the
pocket—love letters. I read them. I
thought you were false to me. I—I
took poison, Tom. I'm going to die
- and 1 long to live so. Oil, Tom,
save me!”
“Yes, yes!” cried Tom. “Oh, good
heavens: What poison?”
“Mr. Hoffman will know. I bought
it of him. Perhaps he can save me,”
cried Eve.
And uwav went Tom, white as
death, to the druggist’s around the
corner. He burst into the shop like
a whirlwind.
“The lady!” he grasped. “The la
dy who bought poison here an hour
ago! 8be took it by mistake! Can
you save her? Is there an antidote?
8he is dying!”
“No, no!” said the old German. “Be
culm! Be at rest! No. no! Site can
not die of dat! When a lady asks me
for poison dat will not turn a rat
black in the face, 1 say to myself:
‘No!’ _ I smells something; and I give
her in de paper shusr a little sugar
and somethings. Hln- could take a
pound. Go home and tell her so. 1
never sell poison to womens dat cry
and do not visit de rat to become
black in de face. So—becalm]”
So Tom flew home again, anil Eve
rejoiced, and bearing that Johnson
was a single man, who admitted him
self to be engaged, site did not rip the
patch off bis coat, us she at lirst inten
ded.
Mrs. Davis as a Spiritual Adviser.
of Miss Win-
Apropos of the visit
nie Davis at the North and the kind
reception she has met, a correspondent
of the Springfield, Mass., Republican
tells this story of her mother, Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, on the authority of
a physician of Lynchburg, Va., who
wrh a Confederate official at Rich
mond during the war: On the steam
er on which Mr. and Mrs. Davis re
turned from Baltimore to Richmond
after the former’s release from prison,
a Indy was taken very ill, being in the
last stages of consumption. The doc
tor did everything in his power to aid
the (lying woman, anil every attention
was shown her by the officers of the
boat. All was unavailing, the sufferer
grew worse, and the sister in deep
distress entreated the physician to
offer a prayer for the departing soul.
Tito doctor was much embarrassed by
this request. To give spiritual con
solation was quite out of his line. Af
ter a moment’s hesitation be told her
that Mrs. Jefferson Davis, whom lie
knew to be a devout person, was on
the boat, and he would request Mrs.
Davis to undertake the office. Both
ladies begged that he would do so.
Mrs. Duxis was deeply touched at the
recital of the dying woman’s condition
and hastened to get a prayer book
from her trunk and accompany them
to tlic cabin. In the kindest and gen
tlest manner the expressed her sym
pathy for the invalid and distressed
sister, and, kneeling beside the bed,
she tenderly read the service for the
sick, fervently offering the prayer for
tite soul at the point of departure.
The dying woman was comforted, and
Mrs. Davis remained witii her, render
ing all the kind offices that womanly
tenderness could suggest, until the
end came. She assisted the weeping
sister in renderingthe last services to
the dead, and stayed with her until
the boat reached the landing, and
the friends to the deceased lady re
ceived the remains.

the patriotic statesmen at Washing

The wife of a certain Senatos in
Washington, having for many yWrs
past suffered from tho knowledge of
ner husband’s frequent flirtations,
has within the last season or two
adopted a novel plan, which, in every
instance so far, has been crowned
with success. As soon as she becomes
aware of the latest flame about
which the attention of her errant
spouse is fluttering, she invites the
lady to visit her. This invitation, of
course, the husband—falling at once
into the trap—warmly seconds. Hav
ing accomplished so much, the Sena
tor's wife now contrives upon every oc
casion, whether or not it be in com
pliance with the mood of her liege
lord, to throw him into the society
of the guest. Fickle and superficial
by nature, it takes but a brief season
before be wearies of the constant
companionship thus thrust upon him,
and bis ardor cools in proportion as
be sees the obstacles in the way

A Cowboy Lassoes a Carriage Horse.
[Macon Telegraph.]
Atlanta, January 11.—A lady,
whose name could not be learned, had
a narrow escape from death this
evening. She was driven in her car
riage to Smith’s carriage factory, on
Forsyth street. The driver went in
to tell Smith that a lady wished to
speak to him at the door. Before he
could return the horses dashed off
down Forsyth street at a terrible
speed. Tlie lady within screamed at
the top of her voice for Help. At the
intersection of Forsyth and White
hall they were met in their mad caree
by James Hogan, wlio was exercising
a Texas pony, lie at once saw tho
situation, and, spurring his pony,
(lushed after the carriage, now whirl-
ling out Whitehall street, Just in
front of Justice Tanner’s he ran
alongside the carriage, and, throwing
his lasso over the neck of the horses
brought the carriage to a sudden
stop, and perhaps saved the ladys
life. She gaye him her name, but he
forgot it ia the excitement of the
moment. Kogan is a cowboy, and
working at Chambers’ stable.
