Ahe made up % roll of literer)1 imam t * "% # and went out ostensibly to porchase a pair of shoes, telling him she had n littler money she had made by sewing while he was sick, but she wended her way to a newspaper office, and showed her articles, together with some letters sho had received from the editor of the .? Magazine. The editor was a polite kind man, and told her to call again in two hours. She did so, and received ten dollars for the articles, with which she purchased a few articles of clothing and a travelling bonnet, lie was in too much of a hurry to flj froin death, as he thought, to be angry when she told him the truth. Iii a week they were at her fat tier Vi lmn?A llntv liitlurAnl. ifi art. pearance, and in feelings 1 Her parents leceived them kindly, t heir daughter, oh, how gladly, and her husband kindly for her sake. Three years and a half of married lite, and not one year of true hap pines* I Now that she was at home, shielded by a mother's love, the long strain upon tier nervous system brought on a low wasting tevcr, and for mouths she was but a shadow of her tormer self. Her husband, whose energies weie dead, insisted now on her writing tor money to support themselves, but she was unequal to the task, and tor twelve mouths she felt that she could never write again. Her brain seemed paratized. When she recovered so as to be able to go out, and teel sufficient strength of mind and body, she undertook to teach a few pupils at her fatli tew line* ot care plainly visible ill her face, still she had the same sweet smile and low gentle voice, the satire child like simplicity and earnestness ot inunner. When Mr. Morton came, ho held her hand as he luaiked into her face, and said. " The same, a little older, a little mure earu worn, still the same true woman." Her husband was pre* out at the meeting, and a glance at hiiu showed his brow to darken, and his lips to compress. She withdrew her hand, as she said,u 1 atn always the same to my It us baud's Iriends and mine, Mr. Morton." She had not seen him since that memorable evening, on which he was presented to her. As her husband's friend, she had received llitn kindly ; and had been very favorably impressed by liis noble bearing, ana true gentlemanly deport uien t, as by the beauty and delicacy ot bie sentiments. It was a treat, M a teast ot reason and a flow of soul," which she bad ner er's residence, and succeeded in muking a small sum, which her husband took and went off with, upon the plea that he was looking f?>r business. She had given him clothing sufficient to Inst him two years, lie remained four months, and returned without a cent of money, ami nu vivtiii?g i>ui u imt tie had on. ller friends urged a separation, as he came notno drinking, with every sign of having been on a spree all the time of bi6 absence. ** Until deatb us do Krt," she repeated. Sometimes r strength almost failed her, and she shuddered as he came into hoipresence. When he taunted her with not loving hiin, she felt that he spoke truth, hut she dare not say so. She only replied, 4' Love begets love." lie was cross and disagreeable in her father's family. She saw that they bore it only for her sake and the lact made her miserable. She would have left with him, much as she loved her parents and feared her husband, so firin was Iter belief that she was doing her duty. Six mouths passed in her little school. To relieve t h e pressure o f disagreeable thoughts ui?on her brain, she rosortea to her pen once more. This time the ideas came without much effort and she found that practice made theiu flow faster. O, the pleasure of this long forbidden oc cunation. She wrote to offer her contribution;* to the Magazine again, but received an answer that they could not engage any more writers at present, their list was full. They had never forgiven her for withdrawing trom them four years previously. There was a new literary paper started in her native State, lo that she wrote, and sent a specimen article; it was uccepted, she wrote regularly for a tew months, when she received a letter, during her husband's absence, from Arthur Morton, who was literary editor of the paper, telling her that he would pass through the country in a week or so and would call on her. lie was uii old friend of her husband ;some five years younger, perhaps, still his friend, and as such she felt iro hesitancy iu inviting him to call. Wis did not know until ha wrote that he was connected with the pa per. She had poured out her whole soul in her ]>oems and stories, and her peculiar sorrows were depicted in those of her heroines. She was thinner, and there were a er forgotten : end that one friend of an evening was often thought of, and those few abort hours looked Hack upon as the one oasis in Iter desert life, ller pleasure at Ids coming now, nfter lour years t of silence, whs great, though mixed with dread of her husband's strange jealous temper. He jodg~ eu every person # motives liy his own and aid not believe it ble for two |>ereonsot tlio opposite exes to enjoy each other's society, or exchange sentiments upon intellectnal subjects alone. His wife was watched and guarded as though he expected every man who saw tier to wish to rob film ot her. It is said that jealousy can not exist without love. That way be true, but save me, 0 fate, from such love 1 Charles Chester could not b. gin to understand or to vul tie the pure spirit of his wife. Llow she could have loved hiin and how she longed to do so, to com mime with him as her equal, as a twin born soul, ho could not know. His spirit was too coarse, too sensual, for communion with hers. O, is it a siu to break such bands ? To sever those whoinGod has never joined together! Lint I must not stop to moralize. Two days Mr. Chester seemed to share his wife's pleasure at the coming of his friend. Only she knew better, she only knew of the low, brutal taunts, and threats when alone with hitn in her chamber. She tried to prevent their disagreements from being known, and to act as though she were free in the presence ot their guest. On the third morning, alter the most Miiiiiiiiiic'fab uouse, 6ucii as Drought the crimson flush of shame to her delicate cheek, lie left saying he would never live with her again. She might go with Morton, and welcome. She plead and reiimu otratcd with him. lie told her lie had been tired of her a long time, and only staid with her to 6pite her. When lie had gone, she run out to a bower, formed of grape vines, out of hearing, and out ot sight of the house, and throwing herself on the grass with her In ad on the rustic seat, gave vent to her anguish in groans and tears. 44 O. my God, must I bear it longer was the expression ot her heart and tips. She could not tell her parents. They grieved enough lor her at best. Where should she turn for comfort. The God whom she had tried to serve, 6eemed to have forsaken her. Sho tried to pray hut her faith was well nigh dead. For fivtt VHAM ftlirt tinrl nruvuH ? J ??- ? VM n liiivrm uny sign that her prayers were heard. Just then un arm was thrown around her, and her head raised from its lowly position. She looked up quickly, and beheld Arthur Morton's eyes fixed upon her, with such tender compassion. Her strength failed her, and her head drooped for a moment on his arm, and she sobbed in all the abandon of grief. He drew Jier nearer to him and spoke in a low tone, " Alice, dear Alice, tell mo what it is." She drew herself up from .lisarm, and stood.before him. l'Mr. Morton," she said, "you have no right to addicts me in sueh language Remember, sir, 1 am the wife of your friend." lie drew back sadly, and leaned against the frame work, with his tine eyes, bent sadly on her face, as he said, >1 M .... i 'l' iu o viicbii;! , jvu scorn my by (11pathy, because you think 1 oo not know tho cause of your sorrow. I ha?e known it for years, more than you ever suppose*! any one knew. Think you 1 could not read 1? i? !?:?- ?? - ? iv 111 juur writings, hiiu now, nave I not seen it ever since 1 entered this house. You tell mo you Are the wite of my friend. You ure his slave. No more respected ihun you would be were you tho vilest creature in the world. You were not innde for such a lite. Your spirit is too pure for such companionship. You are purity and amiability personified, while he is a brute. Nav do not interrupt the iot. lie was my friend once, but never believed bint the brute he is until after 1 met you. 1 saw it that night; 1 watched his downward oareer in , and shuddered tor you without the power to aid you. 1 have heard froin you when you little thought of such a thing. O, my friend ! you do not know Itow my heart has bled for you, or how I longed to gu to you, and say to him whom the law made your master, thus far shalt thou go bat no farther. I knew tho extreme delicacy of your nature, and your firm ad her ence to what you blindly considered you duty, and waited untli now. I must speak now. Alice, my poor triend, you have no brother to protect or counsel you. You have provocation enough. He has sev itiod every moral tie that binds you to hiiu. Seek redrew and freedom at law. Sever the cursed bond that makes you bis stave." She tottered, aad fell on the rus ' tic seat behind her. Iler face wan very pale, and there was n wistful look in her sod, dark eves, as she raised them to his face and tried to speak. lie knelt before her and clasped her hand, as he pleaded with her to save heiself from farther degradation. u Your parents desire it, you know. You have a sweet home here if the trail ot the serpent were not over it all. O, Alice, banish that ser|>ent ' forever." A gleam ot hope played, for a moment over her sad tea- | uirce, men a Gold etiivcr run through Iter frame, as she withdrew her hand from his clasp, and murmured, almost inaudiblv, 44 I cannot. O, Mr. Morton, pity me, but do not teinpt mo far titer. 4 Until death us do part,' was the vow I mude at the altar five years ago. Do not seek to chance ine. My duty ! O tny duty ! It' 1 could think as you and my IrioinJe goncrully do, that I had done more thun my duty, I might be happy yet, I might listen to your pleadings, dear friend, but I cannot. My vow was registered in Ileaven, I am his until denth sets me free. Thank God, there is a future life, where friends may incct without reproach ; until then, farewell. Wo must not moot again." lie tried to detain her, hut she glided past him, and tried to reach the house. She took but a few steps, before she fainted and fell. He raised her tenderly in his arms, kissed her colorless cheek, once, twice, then bore her to her mother, in whose care he left her, and was soon wending his way to the station. When sue recovered, her eyes wandered us if in search of some one. Her mother told her Mr. Morton had tound her insensible in the grape arbor and hud brought her in. She ch'Scd.her eyes, and l?jnit fjuiwlv, her mother thought she was sleeping. O, the agony of that quiet communion with her own heart. Here was love and happi ncss offered her : appreciation and sympathy; she must turn from it all?lor what ? Ah ! the future would have to reveal the icason for all this sulVering. Two months later Alice receiv ed a letter from a stranger in a distant State, saving Iter husband was very ill and desired her to go to him, at once. She did not hesitate a moment, but was 6uon on her way, 6he knew not to what further degradation and suffering. When she reached her point of destination, she lonnd her hus* baud very ill, apparently, in a hopeless condition. She was repaid for her sacrifice and Iter triumph over her great temptation, w hen, in his delirium lie called her name, with every endearing epithet which was so sweet 'o her in in the tirst months of their wedded life. Then he would mourn in agony, and cry, " My poor in jured darling. She must hate me, she will never come." We will pass over the days of dolirium and danger. Enough that lie did not die. There is nothing like sickness or sorrow to call forth all the latent energy and love of a woman's nature. With returning health. Mr. Chester showed conclusively that ho was a chunked man. Fur mouths lie was unable tu attend to any business. When lie recovered sufficiently, they returned to her childhood's home, where he attended to the old farm, and became a sober, good citizen, and a chrisraiu, and a most devoted bus band to her whom he called his good genius. Did she ever recall the hours ot darkness site had pasA ed through ) Perhaps she did,hut it was only to be grateful that she did not listen to the promptings of her own heart, or advice of well meaning but mistaken friends. She heard Arthur Morton'e uumo. without regret, and prayed thut lie might be as lmppy as she was. Tub Huntington (Mo.)

The treaty winds up with ihe usual words, 44 Done at Versailles, this 26'h of February, 1871." What Home Does for the People. The following article is from the pen of Victor Lingo: Ah, we know yon.
