A WOMAN'S REVELATION. My husband came tenderly to my sidet . y "Are yon going out this evening, fove?" " Of course, ram.'.'. I looked down complacently ,at,my dress ot' pink crape, dew-dropped over with crystal, anet* the trails -of pink azaleas {hat caught up its folds here and there. A diamond bracelet encir cled -one round white arm,. and .a.little cross blazoned fitfully at my throat. I had never looked ? better, and I- felt- a sort of girlish pride as my eye met the fairy reflection in the mirror. " Come, Oerald, make haste ! "Why, you haven't begun -to dress yet !" Where were my wifely instincts that I did not see the haggard, down look in' his features-the ."fevered, light in his eyes 7 ' ??J '.."'' * "Tenn't go tonigh t,. Madehm>-I?mJ not vtelT enough' "You are never '-well enough' to oblige mt?, Gerald. I ?rm tired of'befi?g' put off wirh such excuses." . , He made no-answer, -but dropped-his head in his hands on the table before^ bim. 41 Oh, come, Gerald," I urged petti lastly ; " it is so awkr\rard for me to go xXoin?^Ltlwaya."^ ? . ... " v_ ^ He shook his head, listlessly:' " ? thought, perhaps/ you would be villing.to remain at home with me,. Madeline." " Men "are selfish W' I said, plaintive ly ; "andi am all dressed.. Claudia rook-half an hour'for my hair. I dare say you'll be a great deal quieter with out me-that is, if you are determined not to go." . . Ko answer again. "Well, if you choose to be sullen can't help it," I said, lightly, as I turned5 and went out of the room, adjusting my bouquet-holder, thc tube-roses and heliotropes seeming." to distill-in cense -at every motion. Was I heartless and cruel ? Had I ceased to. love" my husband ? From the !>ottoui of my heart I believe that I loved him as truly and tenderly as ever wife did ; but I had been so spoiled and petted all my brief, beliish life, that the better instincts were, so lo speak, en tombed alive. . .> I went to the party, and had my fill of adulation and liomage, as usual. The hours seemed to glide away, shod with roses, and winged with music and per fume ; and it was not until, wearied with dancing, I sought a momentary refuge in the half-lighted tea-room, that I heard'words wakening me, as it were, from a dream. "Gerald Glen !" I could not well be mistaken in the name-it. was scarcely common-place enough for that. They were talking two or three business-like looking gen tlemen in the lnali without; and I could catch, nov.' and then, a fugitive word or phrase. "Fine, enterprising, young fellow!" -"Great pity !"-"Totally ruined, so Bees and McMorken say !"-" Reckless extravagance of his wife !" All these vague fragments I heard ; and then some one said, " And what is he going to do now?" " What can he do ? Poor fellow ! I am sorry ; but he should have calcula ted his income and his expenses better." "Or his wife should. Oh, these wo men ! they are at the bottom ot' all a man's troubles !" And they laughed. Oh, how'could they ? I had yet to learn how easy it .i.vin this world, to bear other people's troubles ! . * * . . I rose hurriedly up, . with my heart beatlug^tumultuously beneath the pink azaleas,-* and wont hack to the lighted saloon. Mr. Albany' Moore was wait ing 'fo claim my.hand for the next danee. - " Are von ill, Mrs.- Glen ? How pale you look*!" m *. . " I-Para not, very well. I wish you .votfld have my. carriage called, Mr. Moore." 1 Fur I now felt that home was the prober place forme. Hurried by some unaccountable im pulse. 1 sprang out the moment the car riage wheel touched the curbstone, and rushed up to my husband's room. The door was locked ; but I could see a light shining faintly under the thrcsh hold. I knocked wildly and persistently. '. Gerald, detr Gerald ! for heaven's sake, let me in !" Something fell on thu marble hearth stone within, making a metallic clink, and my husband opened thc door a lit tle way. I had never seen him look so pale before, or so rigid, yet so deter mined. '. Who aro you ?" he demanded, wild ly. " Why cannot you leave me in peace ?" " Tt is I, Gerald-your Madeline your own little wife." And I caught from his hand the pis tol he was striving to conceal in his breast-its mata lay on the marble . hearth, under the mantel-and. flung it out the ?window* "Gerald ! -would you Have left me ?" ' ".I would have escaped!" he cried, still half 'delirious to. all appearances. "Debt-disgrace-misery- her reproach es ! I would have escaped them all !" His head fell, like that of a weary child, On my; shoulder. I drew him gently to a sofa, and soothed him with a thousand' -murmured words-a thou sand mute caresses! For had it not been all my fault? And through all .the long weeks of fear that followed, I nursed him with unwavering care ana devotion. I had but one thought-one desire-to redeem myself in his estimation ; to prove to him that I. was something more and higher than the mere .butterfly, of lash ion I had hitherto shown myself ! Well, the March winds had howled j themselves away into their mountain fastnesses ; the brilliant April rain drops were dried on bough and spray ; ; and now thc apple blossoms were toss- '. ing their fragrant billows of pinky bloom in the deep blue alf of latter May. Where were 'we now ? It was a picturesque litte villa, not far out of New Orleans,' furnished very Kke a magnificent baby-house, 'Gerald sat in? a cushioned easy- chair in-, the garden, just where he could glance through the open window-r.t me^ work ing busily with ray needle. " What an .industrious fairy, it is !" he said, smiling sadly. ~ '"Well, you see, I like it!- It's a great deal better than those sonatas-on the piano!" " Who would ever- have thought you . would make e<>notable a housekeeper ?"7 I laughed gleefully-? 3 had all a -child's delight in" being-praised.' . " Are you'-not geing to -Miss Delan cey's croquet party ?" he pursued. " No ; what do I care foi: croquet par ties? I'm going to fi nish-you rv shirts, and yon:ll read aloud to me"!" - '. Madeline, I want you to answer me one question." "?Wbatisitr. ;"; f "What have you done with your diamonds?'-' .... ^ , " I soid them long ago ; they paid: several heavy bills,-besides settling half a year's rent here." ' "But, Madeline, you w.cre "so proud' of your diamonds." ' , ?* " I was once,; noiu they would "be the 'bitterest reproach -iny eyes cbuld meet.. Oh, Gerald, had I been less vain, and . thoughtless-,? and -extravagant-" ? ' I "checked' myself, and a - olin, sin?*-' mg rn' the" perfumed ''depths"of apple blossoms, took up the dropped current of sound ! . " That's right, little-redbreast," said my husband-, half jokingly, "talk her down ! She has forgotten that our past iscdead and'gone, and that we have' turned over a new page in the book of existence! Madeline, do you kfiow how I feel,-. sometimes, when I sit and look at you ?" . ? " No !".-.5. . ota ? s - - (' Well, Ideel like a widower- who has married again!" My heart gave a Ettie .superstitious jump. j " Like a widower who has married again,. Gerald !" ... ... " Yes ; I can remember my first wife -a brilliant thoughtless child, without any idea beyond the gratification of I present whims-a spoiled plaything ! Well, that little Madeline has vanished away into the past somewhere :' she has' gone away, to return to me no more, ?nd, in her stead, I behold my second wife, a thoughtful tender woman, whose watchful love surrounds nie like an at mosphere, whose character grows more noble,' and develops itself into new depth and beauty every day !" I was kneelin^at his side now,, with my cheek upon-his arm, -and my ?yes looking into bis ! , "And which do you love best, Ger ald-the first or second wife ?" " I think the trials and vicissitudes through which we have passed are wei- : come indeed, since they liave brought mc, as their harvest fruits, the priceless treasure of my second wife !" That was what Gerald answered me -the sweetest words that ever fell upon my ear ! GOOD ADVICE.-A bachelor incle, to whom his niece applied for advice on the question of choosing between two suitors, one of whom was rich and the other poor-the latter of course, being tho mest ardent as well as the favorite lover-sententiously replied : " My dear, the question being strip ped of all illusory clements, your choice simply lies between love and beef. Now love is an idea, and beef is a reality. Love you can get along without, but beef you must have. Therefore make sure of your beef." AN Irishman and a Frenchman were to be hung together. The latter was strongly affected by his situation, while Paddy took it very easy, and told his companion to keep up his spirits, for it ^was nothing at all to be hanged. " Ali, by gar," - says the Fr'.mehman, "there be von granddi/lereuce between von and me ; vou Irishmen arc used to it." ' . . . A DOMESTIC BoMLSHELL.-Unsophis ticated Boy : Mamma, papa is getting very rich, isn't he ? Mamma: I don't know why, child ? Boy : 'Cos he gives me so much mon ey. Almost every morning, after break last, when Sally is sweeping the par ir- :e gives me ten 'cents to go out and jally received a ?hort notice to quit. A young woman in Elizabeth, New Jersey, has obtained a verdict of four thousand dollars damages against her father, for alleged slanders against her character and chastity. There waj a step-mother in the case. Secret weddings are all the rage in Iowa. They get married on the sly, and keep their marriage secret until it tells its own story. As it is now, the young men of Pella, are afraid to beau around airy of the girls, for lear they are courting some other man s wife.

Now. it is said, John owns property in Chicago, alone, wortli . $100,000. . How did he make-it? Most certainly not by his pay in the army. It was not left to bini, for his family and relatives are all poor. How then-did General "Lo gan como by this $100,000 worth of propert y ? I' Loyalty" paid him. It pays hun dreds. It pays thousands. It fills the pockets of just such men as Logan. ' It supplies the great coffers of thc Lastern manufacturing monopolist. Itpays there fore and pays weill But it does not vay (((.rcs. The laboring classes pay the taxes. The common people pay the taxes. The "loyal" bondholder pays no taxes. The "loyal" New England manufacturer is exempt from taxation. -Dayton (Ohio) Ledger, Forty Aer>s Ami No Mule. Wc don't know how many negroes have received from the "party of pro gress and great moral ideas," the prom ised " forty acres of land and a good mule," but Ave are credibly informed that the Democrats of Marion, South Carolina, have purchased and presented to each of the fifteen negroes who had the courage to go to the polls and vote with and for their old masters, with the title deeds to forty acres of good land near that town. Well done for Marion ; that is tim Way to enable the negroes to find out who are their true friends ; they arc fast becoming disgusted with the miserable wretches who have thus far led them on toward ruin, and if the 'whites of thc South would take a little trouble to let them understand that we intend to stand by those who stand by us, and to let those who go with oui' enemies get their bread. and butter from thu party they go with, we think many of the best ot' the negroes would begin to look at this matter in its true light, and before thc elections, there would be a great Change in their views and their votes. It only requires that the citizens of -the South, on whom thc ne groes are entirely dependent for food, clothing and- shelter, shall calmly anet firmly resolve not to aid or employ those who are determined to' go with the scak wag-carpet-bag-Radical party, and in one month there would bc wo SHC/I porty j in thc South. Think of this men, of the j South, and settle in your minds whether j you prefer to be ruled as you arc, or to I make a small sacrifice to secure your j liberty.-Charleston Mercury. FRESH ARRIVALS.
