The pride of her husband would not permit him to cross the threshold of a dwelling where' his presence was not a welcome one. In-eager sus pense, she waited tor a whote week ere a letter4 came from Edward. The (one of this lettci was as cheerful and as hopeful as it was pos sible for the young man" to write. But as yet, lie haJ found no'cmj)Iby ment. A week elapsed befo$ an other ' came. It opened in, these words : ... ? - ' ' ' dlv dear, deah Agxes!

He had embarked in a packet ship from Liverpool bound 'for New York, where he arrived at the expi ration of live weks. There he was removed t Use sick wards of the hospital on Staten Island. (and it was the opin'on of the physicians theix that, he would l:e: " Have you lriends, in this .coun try;?" .inquired a nurse who was at tending the young. man. .-This ques tion was asked on the (lav ajVer he J 'al. .

I'm certain there is no one by that name for whom any one here would make inquiries. There's, a young Englishman who came oVcr in the last packet, whose name is something like that you mention. But he has no friend's in this , coun try." j " . The physician passed on, without furtheryemark. ' .Soon. after, the nurse returned to Marvel with the writing materials for which he had asked., She drew a table to the side of his bed, arid supported him as he leaned over and tried, with an . unsteady hand to write- : "Have you a wife at home ?" asked tfie nurse j her eyes rested on the first words he wrote.

Agnes was in New-Y'ork.- Before her departure, she had sought, but iii vain, to. dis cover the name of the Vessel in which her, husband had embarked On ar riving in the New World, vshe-was theretore uncertain whether he had preceded her in a steamer, or was still lingering on the way. The friends to' whom . Agnes brought letters, received her with g reat. kindness, and gaye her - all the advice and assistance needed under the circumstances. But 'two weeks went by without a word of. intelli gence on the one subject -that ab sorbed all her thoughts. Sadiy was her health beginning ,to .suffer. J Sun ken eyes aud pale cheeks attested the weight of suffering that was on her. ' ' -, ; . ' . i One flay it was announced . that a Liverpool packet! 'had arrived , with the shjp fevbr onlboard, and tbat'sev eral of the passengers had been re moved to the hospital. - ' ' - A thrill of fear went through the heart of the anxious ; wife. It w as soon ascertained that Marvel had been a passenger on board, of this vessel,' but from some cause, nothing in regard, to hirri beyond this fact could she ."learnl Against all per suasion, she started for the hospitals 1 . ' ... i jr. i' her heart oppressed with a ieanui presentiment that he was either. dead or struggling in the grasp of a fatal malady. On making inquiry at tle hospital, she was -'told the one she sought; was not there, and she wast about returning to the city when the truth reached her ears.
