Artie, not having heard his father's

? -fc ' ** . Jpj? 'CHARITY ;
When domestic unhappitioss exl?ts
in <a family it gouoraily happens that
the oaso may be traced to money mat*
ten-and to the unequal division of the
QOtumou . funds, a ays the Louisville
.Oomrtor-iTournnl. Probably eight wo
mfen out of tep. who are married and
have no other visible means of support
than a husband are dependent upon
that husband's generosity for every 6
cents they have to spond. The idea of
a husband bofiig generous to hb wife
is quite as absurd as it would be for
any other business partner to be gen
erous to his associate. A widower with
a bouse full of children hat to pa/ a
good round sum to som'e housekeopor
for attending to tho same duties nis
wife performed for hor board, lodging
and Clothes. He does not grumble
when tho housekeeper oomes for her
' salary, nor ask her what she did with
all the monoy lie gave her last month,
nor inquire in .an, aggriovod tone of
voice if 930 won't do instead of $40.
No, she has earnod iter money, he ro
speots her right to it, and be pays her
like a man. TWhon his wife was house
keeper ho paid iter like a husband. It
is true ho gavo her liberal" credits at
I dry-goods shops, millluors't and dress
makers'. Th ese privileges constituted
his Ideas Of feminine bliss. What need
had she of money? Suoh a thing as
giving her, or rather sharing with ner,
a portion of the produot of nls labors
as one of a domestic firm never ooour
, red to him. He was quite willing to
trust &er to keep the honor of his home
and name, to raise his children; but. a
doubt as to hor business capacity nevor
crossed his mind. That sho would
foolishly waste money if sho oould get
hold of It was his foregone* conclusion,
although for yours she had managed
his home, ana with' unexampled econ
omy he is now able to appreciate she
is dead. It is ppt an uncommon thing
for a woman to have to worry her hus
band, for ?0 oents for car fare to take
her to ohuroh. .When you see a wo
mancarry her "pocket money," a dime
or so, tucked in the palm of her glove,
you may concludo she has a husband
of this dosoriptibn. For a proud-spirit
ed, ^haturajly independent woman to
gle for a
one of
i' ? ?? ? . >? 1 ~ ??ay ? ?*^S that
oan befall her. - ji ta true some women
do not mind togging for money or the
having to explain in elaborate detail
the why and wherefore of the demands
and other women look at the partner
ship business in a still broader view.

"There U no doubt," snkl nn old
soldier yesterday, "that mauy singular

was struggling with somo sad feature
of his existence. He sighed as he con
tinued: *'I remember as though it was
yestorday tho march of Hill's corps
along tho winding Shenandoah up to
tho famous Luray gan. Who coulu ov
er fongot that march r Tho road wind
ing with tho beautiful river, and ovor
hung with tho majestic chain of tho
Blue Kidgo mountains, while across tho
crystal water tho magnilicont valley,
with its charming cottages dotting tho
bounteous land with white-like balls of
snow robod in tlowcrs. Hut tho most
engaging and lovely objects palod into
insigniiicauco beside the peerless wo
mon of this blegscd country, and you
may well boliovo that when tho camp
was struck tho soldiers lust no tituo in
making thoir way to t o surrounding
cottages. Soon the music of tho violin
was heard, and tho tdiutlling feet kept
timo to tho music, while, for a timo.tho
soldier's fuce was lit with an old timo
jov. At one of the>o cottages tho
bollo of tho valley reigned supreme,
while several southern soldiers vied
with each other in paying homage to'
tho queen. Among others wcro two
youug soldiers?one from Georgia and
the other from Mississippi?who were
specially oncrgotie in their attentions,
and so marked had this bccomo that
thos(\ present watched tho play with
constantly increasing interest, fully be
lieving that both exhibited a ease of
lovo at first sight. 1 his surmise 011 tho
part of those present was only too true,
as tho tragic event which followed ful
ly proved. Tho Georgian seemed to
havo tho load on tho Mississippinn, and
whon tho dancers woro. called to take
thoir places ho led tho bollo of tho val
loy to a placo in tho set. At this point
tho Mi$sVssippian was seen to approach
tho couple and heard to claim tho lady's
hand for tho danco. An altercation
ensued, but both woro cool, bravo sold
iers?two of tho best shots in tho army
? who did not boliovo in u war of
words. So it was ended by tho Georg
ian dancing with tho lady, and tho sig
nificant remark of tho Mississippian
that "I will soo von after this sot "
?'When the dance was ovor the Geor
gian was seou to seek theMississippiau,
and togothor they ouch galled a friend
from the crowd and departed. When

that a duel to tho death should bo ar
ranged at once. A full moon was just
appearing abovo tho tops of tho sur
rounding forost, aud I toll you this talk
of blood in tho sllonco of tho night was
anything but nlonsant. No argument,
however, would avail with these moil,
6o it-was avrangod that tho duel should
tako place on the too of the Bluo
ltidgo, ocav tho center of the rood that
passes through the gap; that tho woap

or to bd forgotten. A moment or two
and the silbnoo was broken by tho sig
nal: "One, two, thrco." At the word
"0110" tho report of two pistols rang
out on tlio midnight air, but tho princi
pals maintained their roapcotivo posi
tions. Tho Georgian's left arm was
scon to drop closer to tho side, but tho
Misslssipplan was lmmovablo, and still
hold his pistol to tho front. Again a
pistol shot was heard, coming from tho
uoorgian, and tho JMlssisaippian still
held Ids position but ho did not fire.
Tho Georgian protested that ho had not
como there to murder him, but no an
swor was returned. Tho Mlsslssippian's
second approached his principal and
fouijd him dead, shot through tho eyo
on tho first discharge of tho weapons.
Death it g'ooms had been instantaneous,
so much so as not even to disturb hia
equilibrium. I may forgot somo things,
but tho midnight duel on tho top of a
