A LIFE HISTORY. IIV I.Al'ltA LINCOLN. A drunkard's wife! 'Ob ! fntu worse than dextli.' Would tlmt the oii; of el tii|tieii(e were mine tlinl I might pour forth, in 'won!* :Iihi bum,' the story of her wrong* Kven now before my men tnl vision rise* the image of a f*ir young girl, whose youth hioI liMppines* was blighted by the fatal curse of intern per mice in the being who had promised be fore God to "love end cherUh" her til! dentil did them part. Annie Melville was the d'.lighter of wealthy parents. A^hc *?.? not iH-uutiful ; tnit her joqng f?cc Made up in sweetness w lint It Uck'd in grace.* Annie ??? high >j> lited nnd wayward but vvithnl, loving nnd affect o mte, nml capable of the utmost devotion t>> the oh ject of her ntfeclion. With it limn of the right stamp for her life companion, she would have made a noble woman. As it was, adverse circum olaiios called forth the evil as well as the good of her nature She had been a petted, an indulged child ; and her parents had never taught her the (ftftkull and much.needed lesson of self control. Annie met Walter Carlton, ami soon a mutual love sprang up between them.? >le addressed her and was accepted, and jhe maiden thought never was there bliss like unto hers. Handsome and fascina ting?gifted w:th talents, which bade /ail to give him a prominent p'ace among the great of the land?the young man seemed well worthy a heart's devotion. Her father and friend*, while admit ^ing the many nohle qualities of her sub tor, told Annie plainly that he possessed one failing, which if not speedily over pome, would prove the ruin of hinttelf end nil conneoted w?th him?vix: n fond p<e?* (i>f ttroi.g drink. Hut the Wrtrni-lienrU-d nnd impulsive girl would not listen to no remonstrances. . I will marry him,' the cried, 'mid by ;nv love nod faith I will rui'g m 1111?).' Oh ! rmh nnd headstrong youih ! when will ye profit by the wisdom nnd experi ence of the aged, who have learned through bitter (uttering what they would fain teach you ? And in spite of repeated warning, Annie Melville did marry Waiter Carlton. Alaa ! could she, with prophetic eye, but have aeen the dismal future, with all its weight of woe, sooner would she have cast herself from the highest precipice into the sea, than have allied her fate with that of Walter Carlton, For a time all went w?l|, nnd Walter's friends hoped that his marriage had ef fueled a thorough change fpr the better In hie character. Home six month* after their union the young couple went to housekeeping?hitherto they bad resided will* n<e's father. When Waller went from among comparative strangers to the associates of j years the evil hahil which had been more i iirtnlv fixed than his wife imagined, again began to assert its power. Again and again, would the young man re'urn home partially intoxicated.? Annie plead and wept, and endeavored til mil 111- llllllll. !l? I,I.tumnit UU tt.iuuil.lt> I.. i her husband Soon came a son to them; i and llie young wiie thought, ''Now cen tainly Walter will stay more at home,' and for a brief period he did, evidently struggling to resist temptation?but I again he fell ; and 'the last state of that ' i man was worse than the lirst.' { The human heart seeks for sympathy in its sorrows. We feel our burthens lightened if they be hut shared by some friend j ly confidante. Thus Annie felt, when in | the midst of her sore troubles, she turned . j to her relatives for sympathy and con so lation. Hut like Jolt's comforter's of old, they replied : 'You knew that he drank i before joii inanied him." Ami here per' ; mil us a lew words not altogether iirelo- I vant : Often, when a young wife ia made | happv by soon- failing in the husband of ' her choice ? perhaps such as the one of j j which we are now treating ? instead of ! meeting with pity and kin I forbearance t I from thosu to whom she may confide tier i grief-, how frequently do they say?'You , ' knew this before you married him ? as j you have sown, so must you reap.' When has heedless, Iistmv vr.iilb nar I ' ?11.'

Kxalled by their j devotion, they believe themselves imper j vious to the ("aits of fate, Kro longthough atieclioii he hold as ever- -these , romantic dreams fade away, and the cold, I , stern reality stares them in the face.? j ; Then, unless upheld hv an arm stronger i than of liesh, they faint and fall in the j conllict, an I the Pharisee passes hy on ' the other side, saying - "I have no pity ' for them ? the* did this tiling with their . s . es open.' j Charity, we are told, is the greatest of | I all virtues ; therefore I as he charitable j so tiio-e infutna'e I you g creation-. >. . trusting t" he promo i*".s ?.f the-.i . wu io\ ing hearts, rush ? ma blindly, nuiiaps ? but no less surely to their destruction.

And ww it strange ll.al Annie's grief was not deep nor lasting. for the being j who had Unbilled I?? r womanhood, and I by his own MiUdeuds alienated Iter heart? ; , In tlie society ami n||'Uv.ln u of her i liildren, she found that happiness which had been so long denied her j Relieved lioin the pre*siito of anxiety and care, Iter face resumed its freshness, and her form its roundness, and people nanl that she wjis h tndsoiner than she had ever been.

( The Mill* building, aa liHHabeady heen ! i i iiottui, full wuli h tremendous crash short ly after 6 o'clock on Tueeday afternoon. 1 U ?u nb sudden hs it was feisrful. Very | few, if any of the operate* were aware of i the impending danger until it emne upon | | I them in the fell of gigantic walls, ponder i 1 ous flooring*, machinery, and other numerous contents of the building. It whs the frightful work of an instant. Two scenes of wider or more painful contrast , could not l>e imagined. A mill in full operation, with several hundred men, women ami chiliiien quietly performing their accustomed labor, oil the one side, ' i is illiberal Jed deal ruction, producing de vastalion and the mutt humble ot death on the other. Let us bo thankful that few such scenes over meet the eye or pain j the heart. The origin of the catastrophe is vurr I oiisly slated, but tliat which appears llie j more probable is a defect in the foiimla liou wall, (lie mere particularly in lliu up per or Northern portion. It :* also hint- ! ed that the walls of (ho building were in suflicient for m> heavy a weight as was i placed upon them. I ho machinery w ?| unusually heavy, while the floors were j immense:)' massive, aud in this respect j presented a marked contrast in propor 1 tion to the walls and foundation. It is j not improbable llsut the action of the j frost on the foundation and walls bad something to do with it, a warm season suddenly following a very cold one. As before hinted, there are numerous reports | as to the origin of the catastrophe, some j ol which are reasonable, and others are I not. Those above mentioned, so far as ; our inquiries went, are nearest tbe tine i ones.
