to put himsdf into the new mental at

an uninterested face, and handed him
t letter on a saher.

cuietlv.
T!ie man retired, and Tregarthen sat
down by the enter table, drew the
lamp elo.-ir. and opened the envelope.
1-ora time the slender letters danced
befoie his eyes, and he could not make
out a word 1 ut m a while he mastered
him-clf and iegautoioad What ho
lead was incoherent and agonized. It
w.is written in haste, with blots and
erasuies. and thee were blisters upon
the p:i er where the writer's tears hail
fallen. She had known her own un
worthiness in keeping her .secret all
along, she wute. but she hail net er
dared to tell him what her past" life had
been. And now he had discovered
her dupl eity and wickedness, and hu
could uot bare to face him. Mie had
gone away, and she begged him to for
get her. ihil.hc Iocd' him. and she
prnyed Heaven to bless him.
There was much more to this effect,
nnd while he read, the shadow of a
horrible doubt fell closer and darker
round his heart. What was there in
the mere discovery, taken by itself, to
tsxeite such anguish as the letfr dis
played. What lay behind the discov
ery? Was it likely that a wife would
run away from her husband and her
home on a provocation so trivial as the
discovery of itself afforded. Then all
his heart rose up to defend her and he
was torn b twen doubt and trust, and
love and f ar. and the little mild pas
sions that had dwelt within him dilated
to giant si-e on a sudden, and took his
eoul for a I attle-grouud, and shook it
With their eontli.t.
There was no sleep for him that
night, and all next day he wandered
vaguely, trying to make up his mind to
pome course of action. His wife had
given him no address, but it did not
seem to him at first that it would be
difficult to discover her in London. But
was her flight in itself a confession of
worse than he knew, or could he bear
to hear that confession if it had to be
made, or to hear her denial of it and to
iave to doubt her still?
If people always did the plain, common-sense
thing, always spoke the
Tilain truth, and always looked circuni-
stances in the face, the world would be
3 improved out of knowledge. Mrs. Tre-
sjartken had taken perhaps the most
foolish of possible steps, had disguised

tances she had herself created;

age which had led her more for her

J w
'JnflPicr silent as to that episode in her
.ABrIt is one of the ways of women to
look their best in the eves of the people
li they love, and this leads them to reser
vations and pretences, a weakness
characteristic of a whole half of hu-asaa-ty
most aot be judged too severe-
far. When sk ran away, she did so be-
iir
v
caase a tender conscience, hitherto void
of "crcat offense, exaggerated her little
folly into a crime, ..lie made up her
innocent mind that she was one of the
wickedest women in the world. She
had married her husband under fal.e
pretences!
When Tregarthen turned his back
upon her she read a final renunciatiou
in the act, and was persuaded tha Hhe
had lost him forever. She had no blame
for him then or afterward, and .'ho
recognized the justice of the imagined
sentence, even at the moment when its
weight first crushed her. The perfect
trust which love should iJave in love is
a flower of slow growth indeed. Often
enough life is over before it has reached
to its 'full bloom, though there is thh
compensation for its laggard coming,
that when once it blossoms it can know
no decay.
Mrs Tregarthen went to London,
and naturally enough fought the one
place there which sue had known bo
fore a respectable, if somewhat dingv,
board. ng-house off the Strand. The
stout landlady had not forgotten her,
and received her kindly. There was a
faint flavor of home in the s'uffy bed
room, and at least it was better to be
there than to find a nest altogether
strange. Hut the foolish fugitive had
run away without any provision, and
had made no arrangement for those
bodily needs which continue their
claim in spite of sins or repentauces.
She had twenty pounds in money, and
her maid, being bidden to pack for
London, had naturally foreseen festivity,
and had put up all the hapless lady's
jewelry. There was no fear of imme
diate starvation, therefore, but none the
less that terror loomed from the future.
She was sure that she was forever part
ed from her husband, and when the
first agony of that certainty had settled
down into a dull pain, "she had to
think of ways anil means for her sis
ter's sake, and in a little while (for a
reason she had not hitherto dreamed
of) for her own.
The maid, who was for the firt timo
in London, was poorly impressed with
town life, as may be fancied. The
stuffy lodging-house was not the .-ort of
place in which Mrs. Tregarthen's posi
tion gave her a right to botow herself,
and the maid knew it. Once or twice
she had surprised her mistress in tears,
and she hail found out very early in the
history of the exposition that there were
no ideas of festivity in Mrs. Tregar
tticn s mind. She began to put two
and two together, and after a week she
spoke.
j beg your pardon, ma'am, hut it is

"How is that. Mary?" inquired the
mistress, with a sinking heart The
heart had sunk low enough already, iu
all conscience, but it fell lower yr.t
when the maid spoke of leaving. fl re
garthen had himself eng.-ged this wom
an to serve his wife, and the exile was
ready to cling to anything that bound
her. however slightly, to her home and
him.
"Well, ma'am." returned the maid.

things and I'd rather go."
There would he one month the less
to till, but that was little. The maid
received her wages and went away,
though sho kept an eye on Mrs. Tre
gmthen, having fancies of her own con
cerning the reason-: for tins curious es
capade. The expected gallant never
appeared, however, and when Mr-. Tre
garthen went abroad she took tiie child
with her. and. after a purposeless walk,
returned without having spoken to a
single creature. In these circumstances

terv unsolved.
The poor lady set aside all her gayer
dresses and attired herself in .somber
ra mcut, as typ fying mourning, and
when one day Mr. Lorriiner caught
sight of her in the street by accident he
took her for a widow.
"Kan away from the stago to get

rinior to himself, not unkindly. "Well,

"Hack as soon as possible." he mur
mured, "(lone for a doctor." And he
shot from the room to savo his thou

He had noticed in the cour-e of his
Iiercgrlnations to and fio before the
louse that a doctor lived next door,
and he rang a startling peal nt the
medico's bell. The professional gentle- '
man ran wildly into the boarding-house
without his hat, and was u-hered into 1
t'ic presence of a huly who received j
him with perfect self-possession, aud
assured him that she had no need for 1
his services. He was not to be got rid
of, however, until he had Jolt her nulsj.
and asked a question or two, and pro
scribed a tonic.

remembered the manager kindly, but

wanner and warmer, a lad3, whom we
had noticed as apparently alone and
unacquainted, drew near and listened
with eagiu attention. She was a little
past middle life, tall and of diguitied
appearance. Her dark 3es and snow
white hair presented as marked a con
trast as did her pale face and mourning
I garments.

And she tossed her head with a proud
little air.
The lady in black bent forward, her
thin, white lingers working cnnvuNivc
I3'. and her dark C3es glowing with in
tensity of feeling. Then, as if she
could no longer keep silence, she ex
claimed: "Ladies, I am a stranger to 3011 all.
but 1 must speak." Assurances of
welcome followed and she began:
"Thirty years ago I was an only
daughter in as beautiful and happy a
home as am of you can have. Hut in
that home their lurked an enemy, un
seen and unsuspected, that was des
tined to make a wreck of joy and peace
and love.
"My father was a lavish provider,
and enjoyed high living. Svines of
various brands were never absent from
the s.ideboard, and both wine and
1 brandy were used freely in the culinary
i department. In that atmosphere I re
ceived my earliest impressions; and
"grew up to think no more of drinking
wine than tea or coffee. At eighteen 1
began to receive attention from the
young man who afterward became m3
husband. One day he was dining with
us. and, as I had before noticed, did
not taste his wine. In a pla fit wa3 I
accused him of being uiigalhmt, and
almost commanded him to drink it.
Iu a cpiiet and respectful manner, he
replied:
" Do not urge me. please.' But a
willful spirit pn--.-e.seil me, and I in
.sUted.. declaring that I should be seri-ou-dv
offended if he refused. He raised
the glass to his lips and drained it to
the bottom."
i The speaker paused, evidently stnig
j gling to control her emotions, but soon
continued:
"Ouring the six weeks that elapsed
betweeiitli"t time and our marriage he
drank wine in mv presence many times.
and I noted with pleasure that he who
was so usually quiet became ga and
witty. lut on our wedding day he
urank too much. Even I. who knew
nothing of Temperance principles, be
gan to see my mistake in urging upon
him that first glass. I can not tell you
of that day (she shivered) save that
when I saw him becoming intoxicated
and sought to remonstrate, he bluntly
answered: 'You have yourself to thank.'
"Ah! it was too tme.
"ifeiore a 3ear had passed wine no
longer satisfied his craving and he re-
srtel to brandy. My eyes were now

You will have to besr it.'
"He never once argued that he was
all right and walking in a nafepath; he
seemed to realize his condition and was
sad even to despair. At times he gave
me the bitterest reproaches and curses,
but I felt that I deserved them all.

"My father's buiness did not pros
per well for the few years succeeding
my marriage, and soon I began to know
that he was drinking heavily. Which :
was caue and which effvet " I did not
know, but the two went together, and
the down-hill course wa. r'id. Final
ly the crash came our old home with
all its wealth of adornment m sold
under the hammer. My parents came
to my home temporarily, bnt they
never had another. Father drank to
such exceM that in a few month he
died of delirium tremens, and mother,
heart-broken, survived htm but a short
time.
"While m3 children were yet very
young I saw unmistakable evidence
that the thirst for drink wa born in
them. From their birth I tried to
guard against cer3 avenue of danger,
hoping to save them by preventing
their learning the tatc of the poison.
Hut their fpther's own hand mixed for
them the deadly draught. He was in
toxicated at the time or he nev t would
have done it. I had left the dining-room
for a few moiueuLs and came back just
in season to see the younger of my two
little boy- smacking hi hpi ovv the
sugar iu the bottom of the tumbler.
Like a mad woman I seted the bottle
for of course it was near and htir.Vd
it through the open window. Then I
half dragged 1113 b3s to my own room,
telling them they had taken poison, and
I treated them as heroically an though
it had been arsenic or strychnine. As
I passed out of the door my husband
laughed a drunken laugh, saying
" Seeut to me ou"ve changed 3our
mind since you taught me to drink.'
"When m third baby was laid in
my arms, I praved for I had learned
to pray then tliat he might be spared
from the curse. As I h. Id him to my
breast I thought of the poor s avo
mother who gave laudanum to her
child and let it sleep to death in her
arms that it might not know the bond
age of slavery, and I understood. For
is not the victim of alcohol a slave?
What bondage so cruel, what fetter. so
galling? Far better that a hod should
be loaded with chains nnd ncotirgcd
with the lash than that a soul should
be fettered and scarred with sin. ()
Clod.' I prayed, 'remove the curse if tt
be possible, but if not, oh. take him to
Thyself!' (Jod heard m prayers. Only
a dn3 1113 baby stayed, and then my
arms were empty."
Tears were streaming down the pale
face, but a glow of solemn gladness
rested there.
"Oh, friends!" she continued, "of
my three children, the one who never
knew hi mother's love has "been my
greatest comfort; I know he is safe
with l-od.
"M3 older hoys I tried with all my
power to keep from strong drink. I
taught them of the ruin which would
surely follow its use. They hnd their
father's example to shun. TIm3
seemed to understand and want to do
right, but the fire was in their natures
it could not be kept down. Willie,
my first born, went to a druukaid's
grave before he was twent3-two.
"M3 husband, iu one of his season. of
despair and remorse, took hi own life.
"And Frank, my Frank can I tel'

AN AGGRESSIVE EVIL.
The Rum l'owrr Constantly I'mclilng Out
After Krr-lt Vlrtlin-.
The Bum Bower is aggres-ive. If it
did nothing but supply the besotted
victims of its power with the means of
gratifying the appetite to which they
are slaves, deirying all others, its reign
would end in a few 3cars, when thc-o
captive wretches all filled early graves.
But it is constantly reaching out foi
new victims. Every bo3 who enters a
saloon for the first time for a drink is
looked upon as one to educate into the
habit, one who is to be, as speedily a
possible, made a victim of this awful
appetite, that his daily wages may b"
drawn into the coffers of the salooubt.
On everv side, men are tempted to
drink. Along the street of our cities
the brillinntly-lighted saloons invito the
thousands of young men beginning
their career to 'drop in and spend their
evenings. They are more attractive
than the cold little bed-room in a
boarding-house which is the only horur
that thousands of than have. ihe sa
loons afford light, and wjirnfeh and
meny company. Is it any wou4er that
our young men visit iiiemr xni me
punctilious unwritten law of the sa
loon is that he who is a visitor must be
a patron, or be kicked out into the
street as a "loafer." The boy drink,
not because they like it, but to givi
mem me entree, me onnu naoit n
begun, the fearful appetite for ljqnor i
bom. and the voung man's feet are on
the. tiown grade. ,

spired for the defeat of (Jeorge H

itics, the tendency of the Democratic
policy iu Ohio ha,- lK-en .steadily' down
ward. In place of an earnest endenr
for the public welfare in the line of the
cherished principle of the Democratic
party, low ami, connected with mere
personal ambition-. hav been made
tiie objects of parti-an zeal. In the in
terest of these ambition raucu.e
and convention alike have Wi-n
paeked and bribed and dominated. In
trigue has taken the pUce of honorable
fKilitical conducL Momentary success
ias been preferred to nermaneut re

perience aud sngnclty siig;eted. Hie
devices of the forger and the thief hve
been adopted. Corruption has stalked
about in hideous uskedne. aud ha
not been ashamed. And the gi.v-p of a
mercenary hand has been so laid u
the springs and mechanism of party
action that the purpose of the State
Democracy have been dineredited and
it methods involved in indelible dis
grace, Thic downward tendency in Ohio pol
itic ha recently readied the zero
point. A lower depth of degradation
than that which the McLean ring iu
Hamilton County tin attached to the
record of the 'Democratic party, it
would be hard to conceive. When
Mahoney, one of tho ou-tcd Hamilton
County delegates, could stand fotth un
abashed and state "Now that the tight
i over I will say that 1 was not elected,
neither were any of the Hamilton Coun
ty Democratic candidate," party feel
ing, purpose and method would seeni
to have gravitated to the lowest point
of infamy.
It is the clear duty of the Democrat
of Ohio to take instant action in regard
to this matter. The evil inc uhu which
ha so long dominated the action of the
party must be deposed. This is a time
for severe and hearty root-and-branch
work. No half measures will answer.
Those who have betr.vd the be.-t in
terests of the Democracy must be
awarded the treatment and doom of
traitors. Their voices must be heard
no more in the councils of the partv.
and their methods and devic-s uunt bo
disavowed and discontinued. If the
Democratic party in Ohio is not to lo-e
the lat ve.-tige of influence; if it i not
to forfeit all title to the confidence of
the people, it must make the mainte
nance of,popular rights and the promo
tion of the public woal the object of
it endeavor, and these it must contrive
to effect by a policy of tirity a well in
' wisdom.
The whole country will watch with
interest the cour-e which may be
adopted to remedy the evil comlitiou
of thing which has received such de
plorable manifcatntiou. It can not be
init that stiflicient wisdom, virtu ami
energy will be found iu the Democracy
of Ohio to provide efficient means for
its own protection and perpctuMinn.
But should nothing be done should
the evil inllu'nce which h:w blighted
the party remain unchecked, then it
j will be strongly felt that it may be the
' duty, as it i the right, of the National
Democracy to condemn and disown all
affiliations which would drw to it dis
grace, hiuiiilialiou and defeat. Wuth'
