Suillio Montgomery and myself were daughters of farmers in Preston, poor girls and members of largo fam ilies. Sallio wont to the city Hist, and got a place in a largo paper box fac tory, at good wages, and when she had beon there three mouths she wrote to mo that there was a vacan cy she could secure mei•, So I wont’ to the city, too. We were called pretty girls in Preston, and had our share of admiration from our country beaux. But Sallio was something more than pretty, though I never thought her very wise. Slio was easily oxcited, very impulsive, and rushed into extremes of feeling with out sufficient cause. We had two small rooms, a voyy tiny bed-room, and a larger one where wo cooked our breakfast and supper, that we could turn into a cosy sitting room for evening uso and for Sunday. Being sociable, we soon made friends with other girls in the fac tory, and at their homes wo met their friends. It was in this way that we met James Seaman, a clerk in a wholesale store ; a frank, bright young follow of twenty-four or five who soon becumo a great friend of Sallio’s und mine. For several months ho visited us spending many evenings in our little sitting-room, reading aloud to us when wo worked. , ' And in these months Jof pleasant intercourse. I gave Janies Seaman all the love of my heart. I do not bring any accusar.ion against him, for think he was pleased.with both of us and did not know himself where his love was for a long time. But one evening when ho called, he found me, for a wonder, alone. Sallie had gone with one of the fac tory girls to a small company, but I had not cared to go. I saw that James was full of important nows, as - soon as he came into-{tho room, and J* soon heard it. A relative hat! died and left him some money, and ho was going into business for him elf, with ono ofghis fellow-clerks, who had some money too—fora part ner. And then be told me bis love for. Sallio, and begged me to be his friend in pleading bis suit with her, Not to make too long a story, Sal- 1 lo was dolighteu, accepted him, and they were married as soon as she made up a few pretty wedding gar-r ments, for the price of which we live upon porridge for about six weeks, <. - Not having money enougli to tako a whole house, James and Sallio rented the fioor below tho rooms where she and I had lived so cosily together, and set up housekeeping. I did not go down very often, be cause my heart was very sore for a long time, although I hope I w;« not wicked enough to cherish a love for another' woman’s husband. I When wanting line call on me. accommodation in thD Nov. 24, M. W. J. HIGHTOWER, Dublim (leorgia. \ * fought it down, and I prayed against it, until I could look upon James as only a good friend, and 1 can say truly, my love for Sallie never les sened. For a year the young folks.- wore very happy, although there were some pretty sharp quarrels about Bailie’s extravagance. James could not convince her that, although ho was in business for himself, his capi tal was small, his business just start ing, and his income but little more than his old salary. Sallio was always vain and empty- headed, although generally sweet- tempered, and she wanted fine dres ses and bonnets that James could not afford to buy. After her baby came, sho did settle down for a time, but her health was not good, tho ba by was a sickly little thing, and tho housekeeping began to be very care less. The baby died when it was eight months old, and Sallie was very sick for several weeks afterwards. Then the real trouble began. Tho doctors proscribed wino and milk punch for weakness; and it roused an appertito for drink, Oh, dear, dear 1 It would bo too hourt break ing to writo out all tho misory of tho next, three years, for Sallie became a perfect drunkard, and James, though ho was wonderfully patient, would loso his temper sometimes, and any very hard things. There would bo fierco quarrels; Sallie would promise to do bettor, and really Try fora time; but she nover kept hor good resolutions long. X endeavored to bo a good friend to both of thorn, but things grew worso and worse,■ until ono evening thore.wns it dreadful quarrel. I heard James say bo wished lie had nover< seen Sallied face, or that ho might never see it again. Presently I liourd stops running down tho stairs, the door leading to tho street slammed, and. tho running foot wont out of hearing. Sallie had rushed out of the house down to tho river, and tliiown “herself in. A policeman saw her, and recognized her, but she was too quick for him. For days and days they tried to recovor her body, but could not find it, and James was like a madman. IIo re proached himself bitterly, above all for his last bitter words, but after the first violence of his grief was over I think ho was happier without Sallio. It was a hard thing to say of tho dead, but sho had not been a good wife to James, trying t.o have her own way at any cost to him, care less about hoi- own way at any cost to him, careless about his comfort, slovenly in liqr person and hor house keeping;- r And when Jumps had sold his furnitiiro. giy'on iij> the rooms and gone back to his old boarding ill that I had to light ami pray down on tho five years of his married life as an ugly nightmare. In all hiaiVantjo grief, in his so! tened sorrow, and after he began to bo hko his old self again, James came to tne, Us frankly as a brother to a sister, for sympathy and com fort. In my own hours of solitude and heartache, I tried to improve my education, reading solid books of in formation and some good works of poetry and fiction. My subscript ion to a library had to cqme out of tiio necessities, blit I managed to pay it, and never regretted the ex penso. James, being fond of read ing, had been disappointed that Sal lie cared nothing for books, often taunting him with denying her bonnet or a dress, and spending as nrjuch in a “nasty, hfstory,” or other volufne ho had vainly' expected they would enjoy together. \ 1 am -soro we were only; good friends, James and myself, for more tliivn a year after Sallio threw her self m the river. Then, when 1 know the old love was springing up as strong as ever in my heart, 1 kept iny secret from- James until two years after lie lest his wifo, ho asked mo to marry him. What a happy woman I was 1,1 was sure I could bo a good wifo to James, and make his life a happy one, and when lie rented the same old rooms again, and began to put in furniture, I inado curtains and car pets, and worked in every leisure moment to make our floor look cosy add homelike. V . \ l 1 It was just one week before tho day wo had set for our wedding, when one Sunday morning, while 1 was drossiug for church, my door opened, and in walked Sallio. [ had more reasons than one for thinking she was a ghost. She was so pule and so tbin, she was a mere shadow of her old self. Her face had lost tho horrible flush drink had given if, and was white us ashes, and she coughed terribly. My first bewilder ment over, I put her in a chair. and tried U> sootho hor, for sho was trembling all over. “i hud lo come !” rhe sobbed. “I taid uway u]] this time because •lamed never wauled to see mo again and I know ho was hotter of! without mo.. But when I heard ho was go ing to marry yon, I did not dare to, let him. 1 don’t want to come back. I nevor want to trouble him again, never, but 1 could not let you marry him, and not know I was living.” “Living where ? How ?” l cried. “I was picked up by a schooner that night, and tho men took oaro of me until thoy.oamo back hero, and put mo in a hospital. When I got well I was taken on for an "Under nurse, and I have boon tlioro over since. I lmvo never touchod a drop of liquor since that night. A hid I tell you now, I’ll never trouble you or James if you want to got married, lie can get a divorce for my leaving him; if ho chooses. VV hat are' yon drying so hard about ?” Crying ? My heart was breaking. I gavo James up the minute I saw Sallie. Divorce or no divorce, I was not going to marry another '.woman's husband. But it was an awful blow. And it was so pitiful to Beo Sallie, so .pq,lo and’crushed, not one bit like herself, so hum hie and quiet, and looking so horribly ill. And while I was wondering wTiafc to say to her, James^alled to mo-from the Sitting room, to know if I was‘ ready for Church. “Don’t go!” I whispered to Sallie. “Promise trio you will nob go until I come back*” Sho nodded, and I went to James l canqot recall the words I usod to toll him. Ho was fairly stunned 1 then ho vowod'.ho would never sue hor again, then softened under my coaxing, until at last lie loMowod mb into the hod-room, where wo found Sallie in a dond faint on tho Hoot-. She was Lom-bly ill after that—so a wj'Okod hopo that sho rrirgh t dto, after all. Bub 1 nursed her faith— inly, and James was as kind and ten- jor as iffslie had boon the dUarost wifo in the world. Sho came baoic to life and health very slowly, but she did recover. Janies’ had prospored in his business, and when she was able to ho moved down , stairs ho had a strong, middle aged servant to do tho work and take caro qf Iris wife when ho was not at homo. And his wife— his fonder, wife—earno to him in Sallie, repen- Innt mid grateful, Sho had p posh tine loathing for’ liquor after that terrible night and tho shook it pro duced, and sho was humbly penitent for her past follies. They aro very happy, set,tied now in a house' a short drive from the city, and two dear little children, havo come to add mother-love to Sallio’s happiness, Jameses ns a kind brother to mo, though I do not see him very often, as my busy life pre vents my doing trncli visiting, and Sallio seldom comes into the city in rtio evening.: I can not marry, though I might have done so, but I oan never love again as I have loved Jamos ^eaman. fcan rejoice in his happino3P, and give as warm a love as ever to Sallie, but 1 car.ot love any ono elso us 1 should love a husband.
