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.” chair, and ALWAYS SATISFACTORY EIGHTEEN SIZES AND KINGS ALL PURCHASERS CAB BE SUITED MANUFACTURED BV Isaac A.Sheppard & Co.,Baltimore,M 4M> FOR MALE RY T.

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!

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 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.

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.
