A WIFE'S CONFESSION.
I did not marry for love. Very few
people do, so in this repect I am
neither better nor worse than my
neighbors. 2so, I certainly did not
marry for love; I believe I married
fMr. Cartwrhrhfc simply because he
asked me.
This was how it happened. He was
the rector of Doveton, and we lived at
the Manor Housp, which was about
ten minutes walk from the church
and rectory. We had daily service at
Doveton, and I nearly always attend
ed it, and it came to pass that Mr.
Cartwright invariably walked home
f with me. It was a matter of custom
now, and I thought nothing of it; it
pleased him, and on the whole it was
rather pleasant to me also.
I must confess, however. I was
rather surprised when, one morning
as we got to the avenue which led up
to the Manor House, Mr. Cartwright
asked me to be his wife.
I have never been able to find out
why I said yes, but I did ; perhaps I
thought it a pity to throw away so
much love; perhaps It was because
he was so terribly in earnest that I
dared not refuse him ; perhaps I fear
ed his pale face, and his low, pleading
voice would ever haunt me if I reject- j
ed his love; or, perhaps, It was be
cause he only asked me to marry him
he did not ask me if I loved him,
for I think he guessed I did not; per
haps it was all these reasons put to
gether, but anyhow I said yes, and in
due time we were married.
I ought to have been very happy,
for he was a most devoted husband,
but I was not, and though I did not
notice it then, I know now that for
the first six months after our marriage
he was not happy either.
It was all my fault I either would
not or could not love him ; I accepted
all his devotion to me as a matter of
coure, nut l made no eiiort to return
it; and lam sure he had found out
that he had made a mistake in mar
rying a woman who did not love him.
One morning, about six months
after our our marriage, he told me at
breakfast that he intended leaving
me alone for a few weeks, to stay
with his mother, who was not very
well. He watched the effect of this
announcement on me, but though I
was really displeased, I concealed my
annoyance, and asked-carelessly when
he would start.
He replied, the next day If I had
no objection, and so it was settled.
He was more affectionate than usual
that dayt and I was colder than ever ;
I only once alluded to his journey,
and that was to ask if I might have
my sister Maud to stay while he was
gone.
The next morning I was. anxious to
avoid a formal parting, so I drove to
the station with him. As the train
moved off, I remembered this was our
first parting since our marriage, and I
wished I bad not been so cold.
When I got home the house looked
so dreary and empty and there was no
one to meet me; presently one of the
servants came for the
-hawls, and
;wriht's re-'

' spoke of the absent master. At last
( I wandered into his study, where he
spent his mornings and liked me to
sit and work ; and now I remember
how often I had excused myself, say-
I ing I preferred the drawing-room,
and this reflection did not add to my
happiness.
There .was a photograph of me
stanaingon his writing-table, and an
other on the chimney-piece; on the
walls bung two or three of my draw
ings, which he had begged of me
j when we were engaged; indeed, the
room was ion ot iitue remembrances
of me ; I opened a book I had given
bitn, and in it was his name in my

very thing j. attempted, every,
tnmg loosed at, reminded me of his
J goodness to me and my coldness and
ingratitude to him. At last I went to
bed, where, after working myself into
a fever of anxiety lest he should not
have reached the end of his journey
in safety, I at length cried myself to
sleep.
The next morning I went down to
breakfast with a heavy heart, for I
knew I could not hear from him till
the next day ; it seemed so strange to
breakfast alone, andero appeared to
think eo, too, for he was most unhap
py, sniffing round his master's chair
in the most melancholy manner.
My plate, for the first time since
my marriage, wa3 empty, as I sat
down to breakfast, for my husband,
who was an early riser, always had a
little bouquet to greet me with every
morning ; frequently I forgot all
about it, and left it to be put into wa
ter by the servant; this morning I
would have treasured it most careful
ly if he had gathered it.
After breakfast I determined to
rouse myself and go and visit some of
the poor people of the -village, so I
filled my basket with some little deli
cacies for the sick and set out.
Wherever I went it was the same
story; all held forth on my husband'e
goodness and kindness, for all had
been helped by him in pome way or
other, and all loved and respected
him. As I listened with burning
cheeks I felt as if I waa the only per
Eon on earth who had treated him
with cruel ingratitude, and I was the
very person whom he moat loved and
cherished.
At last I went home, tired and sick
at heart ; but there wa3 no one to no
tice I was pale and worn out, no one
to eet me wine or soup to revive me,
no one to make me lie down and rest,
as he would have done had he been
there. Oh, how I missed him! What
a fool I had been ! Was there ever
woman loved and eared for as I had
been? Was there ever friend so un
grateful? Oh! why had lever let
him leave me ? I was sure he would
never come baek. Why had he gone
away?
And conscience answered, "You
drove him ; he gave you all he had
to give, and in return you gave him
nothing but cold looks and unkind
words ; and so he left you to seek love
and sympathy from his mother."
This thought always maddened me.
In fancy I saw her sitting in my place
hy his side, loving and caressing him,
aa I had the best right t lffnJ oa
ress him. I pictured her receiving
tenderly the little loving acts I had
received so coldly, and now I was
seized with a jealous anger against
her. I mentally accused her of e?
tranging my husband from me, and
of trying to win his love from me, a3
though his heart wa3 not large
enough for both of us.
When Maud arrived in the after
noon, I treated her to a long tirade of
abuse against mother-in-laws in gen
eral, and myfown in particular, audi
vented all the anger I really felt
against myself on the innocent Mrs.
Cartwright.
"Why, Kelly," said Maud, "I
thought you liked Mrs. Cartwright
so much, and thought her so nice,
that you even wanted her to live with
you, only your husband, very proper
ly, as mamma says, objected."
"So I did," Ianswered ; "but I did
not know then she would ever entice
my husband away from me in this
way, or, of course, I should never
have liked her."
"Really, 2sell, you are very hard on
the poor woman; for, as I understand.
Mr. Cartwright went to her of his
own free will, because she was not
well, and he thought his company
would do her good," said Maud.
"Nonsense; I am sure he would
never have left me alone, unless she
had put him up to it," I replied, rath
er crossly.
"The truth is, Jselly, you are bo
much in love with your husband that
you are joalous even of his mother;
and you are making yourself mis
erable about nothing. Why, Mr.
Cartwright will be back in a fort
night, and I dare say yon will get a
letter from him every day; so cheer
up, and let us go for a drive," said
Maud.
I agreed to this plan, and giving
Maud the reins, I lay back and
thought of her words. Was she right
after all? Was I jealous? Was I
I rflollr c e "rr1 o7r1 t 1 hl
t. ; Tocr Vx ' y
huabaud? Had T ony fand it out

nothing but inwardly reproach my
self for my conduct to him ? And the
longer I thought, the more convinced
I became that Maud was right, that I
was jealous and that I was in love, as
she called it.
This knowledge did not make me
happier, for I no sooner knew I loved
him than I longed to tell him so, and
make up, as far as I could, for all my
former cruelty, for I could call my
conduct by no milder word. I passed
a sleepless night, and as I lay awake
I composed various letters of confess
ion, which I resolved to send the fol
lowing day; but when morning came,
my pride stepped in, and I began to
I feel it would be-Impossible to write,

I got up early and walked ont to
meet the postman, so anxious waa I
to get a letter from him ; it was the
first I had ever received from him
since our marriage, and no girl was
ever so anxious for or so pleased with
her first lova-letter as I was over thL
It wa3 a long letter, full of loving
t messages and terms of endearment.
all of which cut me to the heart, for
theyEounded like so many reproach
es; in reality, I think there was a
tone of gentle reproach throughout
the letter. He gave me an account of
his journey and of his mother's
health, begged me to write to him a
few lines every day, but he said not a
word about returning.
I 3pent the morning in answering
it, much to Maud's amusement, who,
of coarse, thought I was pouring ont
volumes of love and complaints of
my temporary widowhood; after tear
ing up about a dozen Bheeta of paper,
I at last sent a short note, cool and
with no allusion to my misery. The
more T tried, the more impossible I
found it to write any expression of
Ioveorpenitence, though I was hung
ering to do so.
For a whole week I went on In this
way, suffering more acutely every
day, and every day receiving long,
IovlDg letters from Mr. Cartwright,
and writing short, cold answers.
I lost my appetite, I could not
sleep at night, and the torture T was
enduring made me look so ill that
Maud became frightened, and declar
ed she would write and summon my
husband home, and tell him I was
pining away for him. I forbade her
doing this so sternly that she dared
not disobey me, for I was determined
he should never hear from any lipa
but nine that at last his heart's desire
vas attained, for I loved him.
Atta3t, when he had been away ten
days," I could bear it no longer, for I
felt I should have brain fever if I
wanton in this way, so I determined
to go on to Melton; where Mrs. Cart
wright lived, and see my husband. I
came to this decision one night, and
went into Maud's room early in the
morning to tell her my intention. I
expected.she would laugh at me, but
I think she guessed something was
wrong, for she seemed glad to hear it
and helped me to pack a few things
and set off in time to catch the morn-
.1 .
ing tram.
It was three hours7 journey. They
seemed three years to me, for the
nearer I got to my husband the more
impatient I was to see him. At last
we got to Melton, a largish town. Of
course, as I was not expected, there
wasuio one to meet me, so I took a fly
to Mrs. Cartwright's house, where I
arrived about three o'clock.
11 learned afterwards that Andrew
Pas v?tt lln mrHar in tha drawing"
rootu wnen I drove up, tut thinking
I was only a visitor, he escaped into
another room, so I found my mother-In-Uw
alone.
By her side was some of my husb
and's socks which she was darning,
socks which I had handed over to the
servants to mend, and which I now
longed to snatch away from his moth
er. Hi3 desk stood open, a letter to
me which he was writing laying on it.
The servant announced me as Mrs.
Andrews, my voice failing asl gave
my name, so that Mrs. Cartwright
held up her hands in astonishment
when she saw who It was.
"ifydear! Xelly ! Has any thing
happened? How ill you look ! What
is it?' sheexclaimed.
"I want my husband," I ga?ped,
sinking on to a chair, for I thought I
should have fallen. Without another
word Mrs. Cartwright left the room ;
I feel jure now she guessed all about
it, and I can never thank her enough
for forbearing to worry me with ques
tions as to what I had come for.
She came back in a few moments
with a glass of wine, which she made
me drink off, saying she would send
him to me at once if I took it. I com
plied, and she went for him ; in an
other minute I heard hrs step outside
the door, and then he came in.
"2Te'Iy, my iove my darling!
what is it?' he cried as I rushed Into
his outstretched arms, and hid my
face on his breast, sobbing bitterly.
For some moments I could not speak;
at last I recovered myself enough to
sob ont:
"Oh, Andrew, my love! my dear
love! can you ever forgive me? I
came o a3k you, and to tell you I
can't live without you." I would
have said more, but his kissing stop
ped my mouth, and when at length
he let me go there were other tears
upon my cheek3 besides my own.
That was the happiest hour of my
life, in spite of my tears ; and before
my mother-in-law again joined us,
which she discreetly avoided doing
till dinner-time, I had poured out all
I had to tell into my husband's ears;
and I had learned from him that he
had left me to try what effect his ab
sence would have on me ; for he had
felt for some time that my pride was
the great barrier he had to overcome
to win my love.
He had judged right. He wa3 too
generous to teli me how much he had
suffered from my indifference, but I
know it mnst have grieved him ter
ribly. He is a different man now, he
looks so happy, and I know he would
not change places with any one on
earth. We went back to the rectory
the next day, but we could not per
suade Mrs. Cartwright to come with
us; she said we were best alone, and
I think she was right. CasseWs Mag

Romantic Fact.
Jn one of the incursions of Indians
upon our frontier settlements during
the Revolution, says the author of
Revolutionary Papers, a very roman-1
tic incident occurred. The celebrated
Cornplanter made an attack npon the
neighborhood of Fort Plain, burning
and destroying, and among the prison
ers he captured was one John Abell,
an old inhabitant. The party had
not travelled but a few miles on their
return, when it wa3 discovered that
this Abell was almost as well ac
quainted with their Iangnage as the
Indians themselves. This fact inter
ested the chief, and on inquiring of hia
captive his name, Cornplanter knew
at once that he stood before his own
father. Abell, twenty-five years be
fore, had been a trader among the In
dians of Western yew York, and In
one of his visits became enamored of
a pretty squaw, and the result of thi3
affection was the graceful and cele
brated warrior, whom tbe father now
for the first time saw standing before
him. The chief had learned from his
mother the history of his parentage,
and his father'3 name. The meeting
was certainly extraordinary to a de
gree. Theyonng chief held outstrong
inducements to his white father to ac
company him to his tribe, but paternal
affections did not seem so strong in
the heart of Abell as his love for the
comforts and luxuries of a white man's
home and so he chose rather to be set
at liberty and to return to his friends.
This was yielded, and he was con
ducted in honor baok to the settle-1
ments, Thus singularly met and part
ed the father and son.

Cincinnati Times.
Sntmezs.
Xutmeg3 grow on trees which look
like pear trees, and are generally over
twenty feet high. The flowers are
very much like the lily of the valley.
They are pale yellow, and very frag
rant. The nutmeg is the seed of tne
fruit, and mace is the thin covering
over this seed. The trees grow on the
islands of Asia, and in tropical Amer
ica. They bear fruit for seventy or
eighty years, having ripe fruit upon
them at all seasons. A fine tree in
Jamaica has over 4,000 nutmegs on it
yearly. The Dutch used to have all
the nutmeg trade, as they owned the
Banda islands, and conquered all the
other traders, and destroyed the trees.
To keep the price up, they once burn
ed three piles of nutmegs, each of
which was as large as a church. Mat
ure did not sympathize with such
meanness. The nutmeg pigeon, found
in all the Indian islands, did for the
world what the Dutch had determined
should not be done-carried these nuts,
which are their food, into all the sur
rounding countries, and trees grew
again, and the world has the benefit.

THE HOUSEKEEFEK.
In Boiung meat for a soup, use
cold water to extract the juices. If
the meat is wanted for itself alone,
plunge into boiling water at once.
INDEUBX.E ink stains may be re
moved by first soaking them in strong
salt water, and then washing them
with ammonia. The salt changes the
nitrate of silver into chloride of sil
ver, and the ammonia dissolves the
chloride.
Beef that has a tendency to be
tough can be made very pali table by
stewing gently for two hours with
pepper and salt, taking out about a
pint'of the liquor when half done, and
letting the rest boil into the meat.
Brown the meat in the pot. After ta
king up make a gravy of the pint of
liquor saved.
Most chronic diseases, and-J many
acute onesare prodnced at tbe table.
As a rule, no fluid of any kind should
be taken at the table, especially if the
stomaoh is weak. Tbe stomach sho'd
never be overloaded ; not more than
two or three articles should be taken
at one meal ; no stimulants to be used
especially just before eatisg.
Don't Roll Your Boast. Instead
of rolling up your roast into a shape
less mass, ifj!the meat be'placed npon
the wire grate over the pan, and a
thin part simply folded over, so as to
receive the drippings from above, it
wil1 cook much more nicely. Put no
water in the pan and rub the salt well
into the meat before placing in the
oven.
It is not generally known that for
scouring knives, forks, spoons and tin
ware, the common water lime such as
is used in nlasterlng ciaterns, cellars,
, - , it ... . ,
etc., Is one of the very best materials,

set where it will keep qaite warm,
stirring occasionally ; it will rise in
five or six hours. Some preferit to hop
or brewers' yeast.
Coddled Apples. Take pleasant'
sour apples and put tbem in an earth-!
ea or tin dish and put in water en-1
ough to half cover them, and set them j
on top of the stove, covering to keep
in the steam. When the apples, are
done soft take them ont, and let the t
water boil away until there are but a
few spoonfuls, then pour over the ap
ples. For meat they are an excellent
accompaniment! and need no eweet
ening. Bat they make a most deli
cious dessert to sprinkle over them
sugar while cooking, letting the sirup
boil away as before.
Bora3:for Colds. AJwriter in the
2-fedisaI Record cites a number of ca
ses in whien borax is proved a most
effectual remedy in certain forms of
colds. He states that in sadden
hoarseness, or loss of voice in public
speakers or singers, from colds, relief
for an hour or so, as by magic, may be
often obtained by slowly dissolving,
partially swallowing, a lump of borax
the size of a garden pea, or about three
or four grains, held in the mouth for
ten minutes before speaking or sing
ing. This produces ,a profuse secre
tion of saliva, or "watering" of the
mouth and throat probably restor
ing the voice or tone to the dried vo
cal cords, just as wetting brings back
the missing notes to a flute, when itisler is now driving-a furniture car for a

Grounds to. witness, a football match
played under that light. The match
which wa3 played by two teams be
longing to the Sheffield- Football
Association, began at half past 7 o'-

from four lamps, thirty feet from the
ground, and the rays, which, ware of
great brilliancy, lighted nearly the-
whole of the ground, the playera be
