' I was one day,' said Melville Iron
siin, ' bathing some flesh wounds on
my favorite horse, when Linily Barlow
approached me.'
Mr. Hronson,' she exclaimed, 'I
must have some rum. 1 shall die if 1
(In tint have run:. For God's s;ike give
uie rum !'
I hau'lctl her the bottle of spirits in
my liiinJ, but 1 regretted my rash act,
liil she simiii became inloxiiated and
stiirteil liir lionie. That night .-lie kept
llie whole village ii) contusion by stag-
geriug lrom house to house, and shout

babe iu her firms.
A few days niter that, she again,
came to me, tor more rum. 1 harshly
denied her, and very rashly thing her
from my door, and lorbid her entering
111 v house again. I never shall loigi t
tin! fierceness of her countenance, or
the Hash of her black eyes, as the
shrieked :
Melville Bronson, deeply shall you
regret this.'
Shortly after this occurrence, I met
her, and she deliberately asked uie tor
money.

aski-d in surprise. j

in your conduct, which, unless I have

She then commented, and narrated
as black a lie, as evr ruined the char -
acter of any man. . I
You know that is False, as well as

Of course, I do,' she exclaimedj

And I will have eiiber money, which

Wretch ! Fiend I Demon !' I ex
claimed, You do not mean this ! You
cannot mean this! iou are merely
joking me.
' I was never more serious iu my
life,' she replied. than I am now. But
you can try me, ami see for yourself.'
' Lven, if you should make public
your enormous slander,' said 1, ' 110 one
would believe you ; you, whom all know
to be a drunkard and a liar. Ah, no
one would believe von.'
Don't you believe yourself.' she ex
claimed. 'Some people love to believe
slander; and many would rather circu
late slander tlran prdise. If I circulate
this, all would believe it as-soon, com
ing from me, as from any one else, no
matter how great their reputation. But
I will promise never again to mention
this, if you, within one week, will pay
me the sum of five hundred dollars.'
Five hundred dollars !' I exclaimed,
I ay you five hundred dollars to sup
press a lie ot your own making. io, I
don't do itl I'd see you intophet first I'
iou are a man ol wealth, she cool
ly continued, ' and can pay this as well
is not. iou are a politician, and bold
high office ; but you can never hold
another, if this is lold. XV'hat is five
hundred paltry dollars lo 3'ou, when
compared with the loss of your charac
ter and honor? One week from to
night, 1 await your reply.'
"She left me ; left me with every pas
sion moused ; 1 thought, and planned,
and raved, until 1 trembled and foamed
at the mouth like a madman. This,
then, was her revenge.
The? next week, to me was one of
anguish ;1 slept but little ; I walked the
house by night, and thought of this by
day. At length that dreary, gloomy
week, came to an end. I paid the five
hundred dollars, and was tree from her
persecutions for a month. At the expi
ration of that time, she came to me lor
more hush money.'
'But,' said 1, 'did you not promise
me never to lisp this rejiort ? I paid
your demands ; why now do you break
your promise to ?'
I will keep my promise," she re-
Clieti, and will never mention this,
ut I have written a very pretty manu
script containing the whole story, and
if you do not pay me five hundred dol
lars more. 1 will puhli.-ii it. You paid
me iu the first place, not to mentioti it;
and now, 1 want you to pay me not to
publish it. Don't you see the dif
ference '
For once in my life I lost all control ;
I seized her by the neck, and forcibly
held her till she became black in the
face. I thought I had killed her ; and
cared but little if I had. 1 Hung her
from me, and she fell heavily upon the
ground. 1 made no elliirt to restore
her to consciousness, but she soon
recovered. 1
' Yerv good, Mr. Bronson," said she,
coolly, ' here's another fact to add to
my manuscnpt ; but 1 will now give you
another opportunity to settle this, lie
member live hundred dollars now set
tles this in every shape, aud forever.'
I wiii not trouble you with the particu
lars, in this ease, but sullice it to say,
that again 1 paid her demands, and
was again free from her persecutions for
a short lime: but for a short time only ;
fiir soon she invented another story,
equally bad, and demanded five hun
dred dollars more lor that. I now saw
she was determined to ruin me, and I
begged a week's time to think of it,
sold my proj)erty, in iev England, at
a great sacrilice, and started ior the far
West.
Oh, how I wept as the hour of my de
parture drew near ; 1 kissed my wife
and darling boy, as I then thought, for
the last lime ; I thought of the happy
home 1 had pas:cd with them, and the
blight plans of happiness I had formed,
lobe blasted by the liiul breath of the
slanderer. But now, (), how changed !
I wished, 1 prayed !ir death I The
J'uiuie olll red no joys; thegiave only
otli red repose.
I attempted to walk to the depot, but
so much was I excited, that my limbs
almost it'fused to cany me, and 1 reeled
lo-and-iiolike a drunken man. A thou
sand contending thoughts tilled my

but when I revived 1 was seated in the
cars, and the train was in motion.
The train soon moved rapidly on ;
rapidly it passed through pleasant vil
lages and large cities through fertile
fields and giant forests ; but! heeded
them not. 1 cared nut for golden fields
or llowery lawns or princely dwellings ;
I wished only lo fly away from my own

1 could endure this no longer ; that hour
1 would die. I rushed madly towards
the river's bank ; my feet refused to ear-

my hands and knees; I reached the

Father Delavan, the pioneer preacher.
He had witnessed my agitation, and had
0..M11 eu my purpose, nau louoweu ana
saved me. After a few moments he
requested me to follow him ; I did so,
I knew not why, nor cared not where.
We entered his humble hut. 'Let us
pray,' said he. I knelt beside him, and
oh, what a prayer ! It reached my
heart, and calmedniy excited mind.
1 saw that my last attempted act was
a great sin, aud afterwards as I listen
ed to his kind words and his holy in
structions, I resolved, by Divine assis
tance, to try and overcome every temj
tation to again destroy my life.
' Under the instructions of Father
Delavan, my recovery was rapid, and
reason soon resumed its control. I soon
became attached to the place, where I
had passed many pleasant hours with
Father Delavan ; and I invested nil my
property in land here and having burn
ed my former letter to my wife, 1 wrote
another, wishing her to come to me in
mv western home. She came.
Ten years have passed rapidly away,
since the day when I first breathed the
invigorating air of this prairie. They
have been years of happiness and pros
perity lo me. On llie soil that I then
purchased, is now a prosperous city,
and I made a fortune in the rise in the
value of the land.
But now to return to my enemy,
Emily Barlow, No sooner had I left,
than she circulated the worst slanders

happy to learn they were not generally

believed for, not content w ith slander-
ing me alone, she slandered others tel-
ling such improbable stories, that all
were generously disbelieved, which ad-
ded much to ihe ouiet of the village.
After that, she sunk deeper and deeper
in vice. She was warned to leave her
vile associates, and care for her bus-
band anil children ; but she cared only
for rum. and when surfeited with that.

to the fatal cup, himself to find relief,
Madly he drained il to drown reason;
full soon his wile's associates became
his boon companions, and his house be-
came a place liir th unken quarrels and
bachanalian revelry. Lower and low-

A few weeks since, I was stnndin
on the bank of the river, and viewin
the floating islands of ice. There was
but little crossing the river on the ice,
ahhouidi an experienced person could
