Gi.EiyDENit;nr.« Odsband, The lUy*leri«u« ln«nniljr of Jeulouay, (From Lippencott's Magazine for April.) Yoli remember Hawthorne's story of Wakefield,' a man who, from mere oddi ty and whim, alter palling from his wife to go on a short-journey.- vanished into the Wilderness o! Loudon and never res turned to her. although lie lived so near that he watched curiously her comings and her goings year after \ear. seeing her change from a happy matrom into a melancholy widow, and so go on into cheerless age. Other things have haps pencil quite as strange, perhaps stranger. Let me tell you the true story of Airs. Glendenning's husband. Agues Holt met Hugh Glcndcnuiuc before she left school: they fell in Jovcf, were engaged, and by the time she was eighteen she married him. lie was a young fellow of twenty six. and his most striking qualities seemed to be his good looks and impetuosity ot temperament. In person he was of average height; his figure good, his face remarkably hand some, his hair and eyes dark, his com plexion pale. Agues was a quiet, grace mi creature, with blue, bashful eyes, ami the most charming smile in the world. In speech she wus curiously reserved, and rarely expressed herself freely. One OfThe discomforts of the season 'of her engagements was that Hugh constantly pressed her for an ample confession of loye, which she would never make in words by more than a quiet as.-ent when he demanded if she loved him. She hoped and expected after marriage he would be loss persistent and more ready to take things for granted, while he, on his -side, looked forward to wedlock with a belief that, once a wife, Agnes would no longer torture him with her evasions and denials, but 'tell him with Ihe same freedom and eloquence which lie used himself ihe whole story of her passion tor him. The t.vo probably loved each other equally, but Hair tempera ments we're t/o powerfully contrasted to make mutual understandings possible. Agues was slow, puritanical, unci, hows ever faithful aud strong, iu feeling, ut terly destituteof sponianiety, while , Hugh was ; quick, ardent, and gfveu to the powerful expression of whatever feeling or mood came uppermost. They had been married a month when business arrangements compelled Hugh to go to England, and he insisted on tak ing bis wife She yielded, but her incli nations were against Ihe journey; she disliked lo leave her family, and was, besides, iu great fear ot the sea. She Was melancholy and nervous in parting trom her friends, and tor the first three days oil the ocean 6peut the entire time iu (cars. Hugh could not understand licr terror of the wafer, and felt, beside-, that she was using him ill in feeling the least Vcluctarice at severing her cornices .(ion with her old home. He tortured her with questions: Did she love him? Did she trust him? If she loved him, it she trusted him, how could sho help being to accompany him anywhere on the wide earth? These demands, incessantly repeated, insistently uiged and pressed, wore upon the young wife; she knew ihey were actuated by a love which jeal ousy demanded everything from her, bin they developed a sort of coldness and pjrverseifftss in her mind. On one occasion, when Hugh asked il she really loved him, she replied listless ly; J'llow can-you expect me to love you When you wear uio out like this? 1 shall soon begin to halo you if you go on in this way." These careless words produced the most profound impression upoji Hugh's mind, and were the beginning of calam ity. lie brooded over them, incessants ly repealing thein to himself. Agnes, who was a mere child at heart, and of a nature not wide enough fully to absorb the idea oi another's, realized nothing of the suffering she had inflicted. Besides, Hugh's conduct began to estrange her. Ll became his wont to sit looking at her, his large black eyes growing gradually cavornous in their depths and unearthly iu their bri'liancy. At limes he would exclaim, ' You do not love me. You will soon hale me.' At night lie never seem ed to sieep, aud, hanging the lantern so that the rays fell on her lace, blinding 'and dizzying her, lie would sit on the edge of tiie berth staring into her face and muttering, 'She hates ine I' The voyage was a short one; in ten davs ihey were in London, where they met friends, and lor the three months which followed both Hugh and Agnes had a comparatively happy time. upbraided her .husband /or his absurdi ties, and he himself seemed to see his conduct in the light of day, instead of the lurid glare of an insane, jealous dread Still, married life was a palpablo disap pointment to Agnes, who began to feel that if she must bend her every faculty fo the task of pleasing a man whose brain seemed in a whirl of lalse and distorted ideaTcoiicerning h~r and his love for her and her feelings fcr him, she should soon loso all respect for and belief in her bus- tho fiine they spent iu Loudon MFcousin. George Dana, a young man'ol twenty-two, whom she had known and loved like a brother trom her infancy, happened to join in rluir party. His coming was the signal for tbe most violent outbreaks of jealousy oil Hugh Gleudenning's part- His mind seemed all astray, he was indifferent to rtie fact that be placed his wife in a cruel and humiliating position; he persisted in the chimera that an easy habit of intiina cy with her cousin George was the ex pression of a love which far surpassed her affection for himself. Again and again he taunted and insulted her until she iuis plored her cousin to- leave London* Gejrge Dana, however, . .JttsafiiM, Agnes's aoiual position with a mini who ; was half insane, could not be induced to go. He WHS not through with his sight-1 seeing; he was interested in the race*; iu GRAHAM, N C-, WEDNESDAY JUtfE 25 1879 short, he liked being m Loud >n at this | tune ot the year better limn being anv whcio else in Europe, and lie insisted on remaining, and even lett a sort of boy ish Satisfaction in augmenting Glemlen j ning s jealousy to the utmost by constant oilers ot attention to ihe young wile. liy the Ist ot July Hugh's business Was concluded, and he took Agnes to I B lance and Swiiz.erlaud for a mouth, but J the two wrro no longer on terms ofallec lionate intimacy, Hugh was still jeal ous, and regarded his wile's steady cold ness as a sign of irios' chilling indiffer ence. Agnes, on her side, felt that to maintain a semblance of buoyant happi ness when she left so dejected at the way she had been outraged was to lessen her dignity as a woman. The two sailed from Havre tor New York on the Uthol August, 186-. On the seventh d*y out, when they were half way across the ocean, Hugh Gle;idennin£ was suddenly missed. There was no traco ot him on board steamer, and it wus readily concluded that the rash and unhappy young man had thrown himself over board. it was naturally the crudest possible trial for Agnes when she was forced to belieye that her husband had committed suicide. She knew, too, that ho had been disheartened by her coldness. Again and again 6he had repulsed him when he had tried to have an explanation. Nat urally, now that lie was gone, all the generosity of her first love returned; she iorgot his faults, and remembered only her own; and accused'herself ot cruelty and heartlessness, and sorrowed like the tin despairing cl widows. It seemed natural, under the circum stances, that Agnes should not onl) mourn, but mourn with peculiar hope lessnesspfor her young husband, who had been taken from her onlv a lew months after their wedding day. She sorrowed a year, two years, three years; but by that time her family all began to make an effort to persuade her that if was wrong thus to continue oppressing not herself but them with this long past «f --tliction. Sho was faithful and fenacious of impressions, but at the end of tour ycaiß she had resumed her ordinary dress and begun once more to mingle in Ihe society of her mother's Inuse. She was more attractive than in her girlhood, and her story was too well known and created a touching interest in her youth and beauty. She had several admirers, but not until George Dana returned did she allow any one to come near her as a lov er. George had, perhaps, always been fond of her; he was, at any rate, now ar dently in love with her. Remembering as Agnes did poor Glendenning's jealousy of the young man in London, it was with some menial disquietude and outward struggle that 6he allowed herself to yield to the feelings that, she could lovo again, and love her cousin George. However; ills courtship was so tar suc cessful that she promised to marry him wnen she had passed the fifth anniversary ot her husbands death. TUAt date, whicn was to-divide her old allegiance from her new, was the 2oth ot August, 186-. The day passed quietly in the pleasant country-house. George Dana was fo come in the evening, and Agnes rose when she heard the train whistling at the bend, and said she would walk aeroas the fi Id to meet her lover. Every one smiled and no one offered to accompany her. The family, consisting of the father and mother of Agnes, her three sisters, and four of her married sisters children, all sat on the piazza waiting for Agnes aud George to return to lea, Suddenly Maiy Holt exclaimed, "If Hugh Glendenning were alive, I should say that was lie;" and she pointed lo a man who passed the house at a distance ot some two rods, and who now at her. exclamation, lifted his hat a.id bowed. The sight of this man created the most powerful sensation in the group, and Mr. Holt sprang to his ftjet and went down to the gate; but ho had vanished. The likeness to Hugh Glendenning had been startling; not only his lace, but his attitude and gesture and gait seemed lo have declared that it was Hugh Glen denning himself. In another moment George Dana came running up, calling for help, lie had, he said, while cross ing the fields to meet Agnes, seen her in conversation with a man who looked like Hugh Glendening, aud who strode away, on his approach, and when he himself reached her she had swooned away and was lying on the ground. Th troubled which now overwhelmed Agnes and her family was one of those cruel enigmatical trouble which take all freshness out ef life. Agues, when re stored to consciousness, declared that while she was crossing the fields her husband had suddenly started out froin behind a tree, caught her by the arm, held her lightly clutched, and said to her in a horrible tone, "Do not dare to marry that man!" and that she remembered uo more until she opened her eyes aiul saw her mother bending over her. A night-, ful bruise on the tender flesh of her arm corrooorated her story. The family had all seen a man who. if not Hugh Gleu denuing, was bis absolute likeness. George Dana was the only one who combatted the truth of these, lie des clared it to be wholly impossible that Glciideuiiing should be alive; fie himself had questioned the captain and officers on board the steamer after tho sniuide five years ago. Everything pointed con clusively to the belief that the unhappy man had l>eeH drowned. The steamer had been searched over and over. On the fatal day of (he disappearance they had not even sighted a vessel or boat; thus there could have been ifo rescue from the scu. Ho was dead. George declared with irresistible decision. When con fronted with the tact that they had all seen Hugh or his ghost, he declared it it to be a chance ru#emblance; that Agues was*dispirited and Jwous, and when the man touched her, disordered imagination supplied ttie words she be lieved him to have spokeu. George, however, being broken-heart-1 ed at the failure ol his engagement, was not fo be trusted as a counsellor in such a crisis. The marriage rt as given up. Advertisements were put in the principal papers for a year imploring Hugh Gh n deni'ing, it alive, to communicate with his wife and fa.c.i y, hut not a word was heard from him. Agnes naturally suffered the crudest form of suffering— suspense and and .helpless and hopeless' misery. Her past was em bittered, present she bad none, and the future was full of douliis andjterrors. Gradually, as two years, then three years, passed, every one save herself ceased to believe in tho reality of the apparition which had startled them all 2Gth dsv of August. And at times even Agnes herself doubted the evidence of her senses. How could it bo possible that Hugh was still alive when all these past eight vert* he had never disclosed himself to Ihe sight of anv of hiA friends? When lie might come and claim her be fore all Iho world, what possible object could he have for lurking in shadow only caring to overwhelm her when she made an effort at renewed ties? George Dana naturally was not slow to help her in these quesiiaus and doubts, lie tried,too, to inspire her with courage, that instead of cowering helpless before vague and nameles%shadowsin the dark ness, she should resolutely go on and meet and grasp ami defy them. By this time, too she was legally freed from her husband, even it lie were alive, according lo the laws of her State; more than eight years had passed since his apparent death. Airnes was at last persuaded to end the long suspense. She suffered not only for herself but for Geot'ge, whoso lifii was spoiling, and finally consented to marry him privately from her sister's house, in New York. Their plans were not discussed beyond the family circles; it was decided that the two should quictlv walk out to the city chu'ch, and then and there be married by a strange clergyman. Thus everything unpleasant would be avoided, and before consequences were faced they would bo actually met and conquered. The plan 6eemcd destined to bring the happiest The morning ot the weddiug-dav dawned. Agnes quieily ate her breakfast, then went to her room and put on her bonnet to go out and get married. As she stood at tho window drawing on her gloves a man stopped suddenly oil the pavement, looked up and gave a warning gesture, and then pseended the doorstep. A moment later her sister entered the room and found her sitting down by the fire, huddling as if lo warm herself. • Why. Agnes,' said she, 'l expected to find you all ready to start. Here is a little package which some one has just brought you. Unless it were a secret about the wedditig, 1 snould suppose this was a present.' 'There will be no Tvedding,' said Agnes, in a hopeless tone. *1 have just seen Hugh again. Il was he who brought that. Let me see it.' She opened tlie little parcel listlessly. It contained a ring—a man's wedding ring—Ihe very one ahe bad giyeu Hugh nine years before. Agues has never seen her husband since. Whether he is alive she docs not know; whether he died ou the 2(hli day of August at sea she docs not know; whether the chain of contradictory cir cumstances wo have narrated were actual ami based upon correct hypotheses that he himself apueared twice before her in the flesh she does not know. Georgg Dana,urged by her entreaties and lief prayer#, finally renounced all hope of overcoming hei reluctance to even 1 hiuk of him after her double warning aud married. Agues is a hopelessly saddened, changed aud iLclaiiclioly woman. HORRIBMI STORI' FIIO.U MEXICO (Loganf port Jonrnal) Last week, in Chihuahua, a woman went in a shomaker's shop in front of his dwelling and was measured for a pair of shoes- Tho aon ol Crispin said to the woman; "Yon have a very pretty foot." ',Do you tbink so?" said she. lie replied; "Yes; that is the prettiest foot in Mexico," The woman was to come back next day and leave one dollar wheu the shoes were to be commenced- Tbe shoemaker's wife, hearing all, said nothing. The next day the shoemaker was out wheu the woman with the pretty foot called, according to the agreement, and the wife got her into tiie back room and stabbed her to death. Tbe wife then cut a steak out of ihe dead womaun leg and packed the body undor the bed. The shoemaker came home and ate his dinner. Th j wife asked him how lie li ked the meat. He answered that it was the best he had ever eaten. The wife then told him he had eaten a part of the prettiest leg in Mexico. He asked her what she ment. She showed him the body under tilts bed, and made a dash at hiui with a knife, but he escaped and ran to the Palacio and told tho judge what had happened. The judge sum moned a guard of soldiers and went to the house. 115 asked the wife if she had committed the murder, and when she an* swe red yea and attempted to justify thj act he ordered her to be shot on the apot by the soldiers, and his orders wert promptly obeyed.

The faculty of remaining asleep for a length of time is posiessed by some individuals. Such was, the case with Quinn the celebrated player, who would slumber for 24 hours successively; with Elisabeth Ol vinfWho slept three fburths of her life.' with Elisabtth Perkins, who slept for a week or a fortnight at a titue.' with Mary Lyell, who did tho same for successive weeks} and with j many others more or less remarkable. | A phenomenon of an opposite character j is sometimes obseryed, for there are in dividuals who can eiist on a surprisigly small portion of sleep. The celebrted General Elliott was an instance of his kind; he never slept more than four bo«:'a out of twenty four. In all other respects he was strikingly abstinent, his food consisted wholly of bread, water ani vegetables . In a letter addressed to Sir. John Sinclair by John Gordon, Esq, ot Swine, mention is made of a person named John Mackey, of Skerry, who died ia Strathnave in the year 1 aged ninety'one; he only slept on an aver age of four hours in 21, and was a res inarkably robust and healthy man.
