Garrett Building. Greensboro, N. 0
Jnly 14, 1ST4. So. 17,7li-ly
My husband came tenderly to my
aide.
'■ Are you goingout this evening,
love r
•' OI course 1 am."
Motked down complacently al
my dress of pink crape, dew-drop-ped
over wilh crystal, anil the Hails
of pink azaleas that caught np its
folds here anil there. A diamond
bracelet encircled one round white
arm, and a little cross blazed 6tfal-ly
at my throat. I hail never look
ed belter, and I fell a sort of girlish
pi itle as my eyes met tho fairy re-
Section in the mirror.
"Come Gerald, make haste!—
whv. you haven't begun to diess
yet!" '
Where were my wifely instincts
thai I did not see the haggard,
drawn look in his features—the
levered light iu hi eyes T
"I cau'i go to niglii, Madeline—
1 am not well enough."
" You are never well enough to
oblige me, Gerald. I am tired of
being put off with such excuses."
He made no answer, but dropped
his head in bis hand on (he table
before him.
"Oh, come, Gerald," I urged
petulantly. " It is so awkward for
me to go alone, always"
He shook his head listlessly.
" 1 thought pel haps you would
be willing to remain al home with
me, .Madeline."'
••Men are so selfish," I saitl.
plaintively, "and 1 am all dressed.
Claudia look half an hour for my
hair. I dare say you'll be a great
deal quieter without me—that is, il
you are determined not to go"
No answer again.
•• Well, it you choose to be sullen,
I can't help it," 1 said lightly, as 1
turned and went out of the room,
adjusting my silver boquet-holdcr,
the tuberoses and heliotropes seem-ing
to distill incense at every mo-tion.
Was I heartless and cruel T Had
I ceased to love my husband ? From
the bottom of my heart I believed
that 1 loved him as truly antl ten
deily as ever wife did, but I had
been so spoiled au.l petted all my
brief, selfish life that the better
instincts were, so to speak, en
tombed alive.
1 went lo the party and had my
fill ol adulation ami homage, as
usual. Tbe hours seemed to glide
away, shod with roses and winged
with music and rich perfume; and
it was not until, wearied with
dancing, 1 sought a momentary
refuge i" Ih*. ball lighted tea room,
that I beard words awakening me,
as it were, from a dream. " Gerald
Clen !" I could not be mistaken iu
the name—ii was scarcely common-place
enough lor that. They were
talking—two or three stout, busi-ness
like looking gentlemen—in the
hall without, anil 1 could catch,
now and then, a fugitive word or
phrase.
" Fine, enterprising young fel-low
!—great pity!—totally ruined,
so Jiees & McKorden say !—reckless
extravagance of his wife!'*
All these vague fragments I
beaid, and then some one said :
•' And what is he going to do
now *"
•• What can he do I" I am sorry;
yet he should have calculated his
income aud his expense better."—
" Or his wife should. Deuce take
these women—they are at the bot-tom
ol all a men's troubles."
And they laughed! Oh, how
could they' I had yet to learn
how easy it is in this world to bear
other people's troubles.
1 tose hurriedly np, with my
heart Healing tumultuously beneath
the pink azaleas, and went back to
the lighted corridors. Albany
Moore was waitiug to claim my
hand for the redowa.
" Are yon ill. Mis. Clen ! How
pale yon look f"
I—I am not very well. I wish
demanded
widly. " Why can't you leave me
in peace !"
" It's I, Gerald—tour Madeline—
yout own little wife."
And I caught trout his band the
pistol he was trying to eonoealin
iiis breast-its mate lay en the
maible hearth under tbe mantle—
and lliiuir i." out of the window.
"Geiaid, would \on have left inel''
•• i would have esca|ied"'he cried,
still hall del ilious to all appearance.
Debt—disgrace—misery—her re-proaches—
1 woultl liave escaped
them all."
His head fell like that ol a weary
child on my shoulder. 1 drew him
gently to a sofa, and soothed him
with a thousand mute caresses; for
had it not been all my fault? And
through all tbe long weeks ol fever
that lollowed I nursed him with
unwavering care and devotiou. I
had but one thought—one desire—
to redeem myself in his estimation ;
to prove to him that I was some
thing more and higher than the
mere butterfly of fashion I had
hitherto shown myself! Well, the
March winds bad bowled them
selves into their mountain fastness ;
the blight April lain -drops were
dried on the bough and spray—and
now the apple blossoms were tOS-sing
their fragrant billows of pink]
bloom in the deep blue air of later
May. Where Were we now f ll
was a picturejqne little cottagejusl
out ol ibecity, furnished very much
like a magnified baby bouse. < !<-■'
aid sat in a ensbioued easy cbair
on the piazza, .jus; where be could
glance through the open window at
me working a batch ol biscuits,
with sleeves lolled up above ray
elbows, and the " gold thread" hair
neatly combed in a silken net.
" What an industrious lairy it
is," he said, smiling sadly.
" Well, you see I like it! It's a
great deal better tliau those sonatas
on (he piano!"
" Who would have thought you
woultl make such a notable house-keeper
1?
I laughed gleefully—I had a
child's delight in being praised.
"Areyou not going to Mrs. D
lane.v's diMpiel parly !' he punned.
" No. what do I ease lor croquet
parties f I am going to finish your
shuts, and you'll read aloud to me."
"Madeline, 1 want yon to answer
me one question."
•• What isil P
I had safely deposited my pan ot
biscuits in the oven by this time,
and was dusting the Hour off my
hands.
" What have you done with your
diamonds I"
" I sold I hem long ago, they paid
several heavy bills, beside settling
halt a year's reni here."
"But Madeline, you were so
proud of yonr diamonds."
" I was once—new they would be
the bitterest reproaches my eyes
could look upon. O, Gerald! had
I been less vain and thoughtless
and extravagant—"
I checked myself, and a lobin
singing in the perfume depths of
apple blossoms above the piazza,
took up the current of souud.
"That's right little ted breast,"
•said my husband, half jokingly.
" talk her down ? She has forgot
ten that our past is tlead, and that
we have turned over a new page iu
the book of existence. Madeline,
do yon know how I leel sometimes,
when I sit and look at you I"
" No!"
" Well, I (eel like a widower who
was married again."
My heart gave a little super-stitious
jump.
" Like a widower who was mar-ried
again, Gerald f
•■ Yes. I can remember my first
wife—a brilliant, thoughtless child
—without an idea beyond the grati-fication
of present whims—a spoiled
plaything! Well, that little Made-line
has vanished away into the past
somewhere ; she has gone away to
return no more, ami in her stead lie-hold
my second wife, a thoughtful
tender woman, whose watchful love
surrounds me like an atmosphere,
whose character grows more noble,
anil develops itsell into new depth
and beauty every day !"
I was kneeling by bis side now.
with my cheek upon his arm and
my eyes looking into his.
••And which do you love best,
Gerald, tbe first or tbe second wife!"'
•■1 think the trials and vicissi-tudes
through which we have just
passed are welcome indeed: since
that have brought me, as their har-vest
traits, the priceless treasure ol
my second wife."
That was what Gerald answered
me. the sweetest words that ever
fell upon my ear.

We remember a tradition of the
Mac a Cheek Valley that would be
well to commence with. After the
tight and destruction of the Iudian
to*n in that locality, one of the vol
iinlecrs wandering in the woods,
saw the head of au Indian peering
at him from behind a rock, and
without a whereas of any length
and resolution quite as brief,
brought his gun to his should.-i
and fired a shot that tumbled over
tbe inquisitive, aboriginal. To the
hunter's horror he found tho victim
of the female sex, with a papoose
strapped to her back. He removed
the babe, and he and his companion
buried the mother. He carried the
infant over a bundled miles to hi-log
cabin, on the banks of the Ohio
ami adopted the boy. Ho grew to
manhood, a shy, wild fellow, with
uo taste for civilized pursuits, ami
a love for tbe woods.
The situation was not pleasant.
for the youthful to was expected to
work lor his living and the labor
was of the hardest. To make mat-ters
wo;-,- he had the misfortune to
fall iu love with his patron's daugh-ter
a beautiful girl with no end ol
suitors, anil as an Indian in those

A Silk-lined House.
I heard two little boys down by
the brook today, talking about
their fathers' houses, aud boasting
Low grand they were. Johnny said
his house had a velvet carpet in the
pallor, and lace curtains at the win-dows.
Willie said bis bouse had
splendid glass chandeliers, that
sparkled like diamonds; and tbe
walls were beautifully painted. I
thought I would like to tell them
about a house very much more wou-deilul
than those they lived in, be
cause it is builded by a very small
insect.
This house is made by a kind of
spider that lives in California, and
i- called the mison-spider. His
house is very marvelous for such a
liuie fellow to make all by himself,
wiihont any hammer, or saw. Of,

He uses the hoe alone this year.—
The third year he grubs up all roots
