GI.GIVDBNN nct'4 Hdhbano, t The lUjalcrioun Inwnnitjr of Jtculoisvy, Yon remember Hawthorne's story of ' Wakefield,' a l|ia » who, from niero oddi ty a ltd whim, after parting from his wife to go oil a short journey, vanished into the wilderness of London and never res turned to her. although he 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 hups pencil quite as strange, perhaps stranger. Let me tell you the true story of Mrs. Glctidouuing's husband. Agnes Holt met ilugh Glcndcnning bcfoie she left school : they fell in love, were engaged, and by the time she eighteen she married linn. Ho was a young fellow of twenty six. and his most striking qualities seemed to be his good looks and impetuosity of tcmpOrament. In person lie was of average height; his figure good, his face remarkably hand some, his hair and eyes dark, Ids com plexion pale. Agues was a qrifot, graces, lul creature, with bltie, bashful oyes, a*d the most charming smile in the world. In speech she was curiously reserved, and rarely expressed herself freely. One of the discomfort! of the seascn of her engagements was that Hugh constantly pieesed her for an ample confession of loye, wnicli she would never make in words by more than a. quiet assent when he demanded if she loved him. Sl>o hoped and expected after marriage he would bo lesa persistent and uioro ready to take things forgrai.ted, while lie, on his side, looked forward to wedlock with a belief that, once a wife, Agues would no longer torture him with her evasions and denials, but tell him with the same freedom and eloquence which, ho u«cd binrsjsif the whole story of her passiou.tbr him. The t.vo probably loved each other equally, but their tempera ments were too powerfully contrasted to make iputual •understandings possible. Agnes was slow, puritanical, and, how ever faithful aud sir jug in feeling, ut terly destitute of spontaniety, while Hugh was quick, ardent, and given to tho powerful expression of- whatever feeling or mood came uppermost. They had been married a inouth when business arrangements compelled Hugh to go to England*, and he insisted on tak> dug bis wild She yielded, but bar incli nations were against the joprnev; she disliked Krieave hor family, and was, besides, in great fear ot the sea. She was melancholy and nervouy in parting from her.friends, and tor tho first three dftys gu the ocean spent the entire time in tears. Hugh >could not understand her lerYor of the water, and felt, beside-, that she was using him ill iu feeling the least reluctance at severing her connecs liou with l|or old home. Ho tortured her with questions: Did she love hiin? Did aite trust him? If she loved him, it she trusted him, how could she help being to accompany him any where on the wide earth? These demands, incessantly repeated, insistently uiged and pressed, wore upon the young wife-; she knew they were actuated by a lovo which jeal ousy demanded everything from her, but : hey developed a sort of ooldness and porverseuess in her niiud. Online oovaaion, when Hugh asked it she really loved hiin, she replied listless ly : "How can you expect me to love you when you wear m'u out like this? I shall soon begin to bate you if you go on in this wt»y." These careless words produced tho most profound impression upon Hugh's mind, and were the .beginning of calam ity. He brooded oyer them, incessanU ly repeating tffiein to hfmselt. Ague/, who was a mere child at and of a nature not wide enough tijlly to absorb the idea oi another's, realized nothing of the suffering she had infiibted. Besides, Hugh's conduct began to estrange her. It became his wont to sit l>oking at her, his large black eyes growing gradually cavernous in their depths and unearthly liu their brilliancy: At times he would [ exclaim, 'You do not love me. You will soon bate me.' At night lie never seem ed to sleep, and, hanging the lantern so that tho rays fell on her lace, blinding and dizzying her, he would sit on the edge of the berth staring into her lace and muttering, 'She hates me!' Tho voyage was a short one; in ten days ihey were iu London, whore tboy met friends, and tor the three month's which followed both Hugh? and Agnes had a comparatively happy time. Agti"s upbraided her husband for 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 lifo was a palpablo disap pointment to Agues, who bogau to feel that if she must bend her every faculty to the task of pleasing a man whose brain seemed iu a whirl of false and distorted ideas concerning her and bis love for her and her feelings fcr him, she should soon loso all respect lor and belief iu her hus band. Towards the latter part of the time they spent in Loudon Iter cousin. George Dana, a young man ol twenlyst wo, whom eho ha I known and loved like a brother horn her infancy, happened to join in their party. His coming was the 6ignal for the roost violent outbreaks of jealcusy ou Hugh Gieudenning's part. Jlis mind seemed all astray, he was indifferent to the fact thai he placed iiis wife in a cruei and humiliating position; he persisted in the chimera that an easy habit of intiinas cy with her cousiu George was the "ex pression ot a love which far surpassed her afieeliou for himself. Again and again he taunted and insulted her nutil she ims plored her cousiu to teavo London. George Dana, however, little guessing Apnea's actual position with a muii who was half insane, could not be induced (o go. Ho was not through with liis sight seeing ; he was interested in the races;iu (Prom Lippencott's Magazine for April .) GRAHAM, N C-, WEDNESDAY JUNE 25 1879 short) ho liked m Loud »n at this tune of the year better than being any where else in Europe, ami lie insisted on remaining, and even telt a sort of boy ish satisfaction in augmenting (ileiiilen ning's jealousy to die utmost by constant oilers of attention to the young wife. liy llie Ist of July Hugh's business was concluded, and lio took Agnes to France and Switzerland lor a month, but lho two were no longer on terms of atlee lionate intimacy. Hugh was still jeal ous, and regarded his wile's steady cold ness as a sign of most chilling indifier fenco. Agnes, on her side, felt that to maintain aseinblance of buoyant happi ness when she felt so dejected at the way she had been outraged was to lessen her dignity as a woman. The two sailed (rotn Havre tor New York on the 14thol August, 186-. On the seventh day out, when they were half way across tfje ocean, Huuh (ileiidenniiiir was suddenly missed. There was no trace of him on board tlift steamer, and it was roadilv concluded that the rash and unhappy youug man had thrown 'himself over board. It was naturally the crnelest possible trial lor Agnes when she WHS forced to belieye (hut her husband had committed suicide. She knew, 100, that he had been disheartened by her coldness. Again and again she had repulsed liino when lie had tried to have an explanation. Nat urally, now that ho was gone, all the generosity of her first love returned; she forgot his faults, and remembered only her own; and accused herself ot cruelty and heartlessness, and sorrowed like the tin despairing cf widows. it seemed natural, under tlio circum stances, that Agiics should not OlTl) mourn, but mourn with peculiar hope leesuess, for her young husband, who had been taken troiu her otdv a lew months after their wedding day. She sorrOwdfea years, three years; but by that time her family all began to mako an eftort to persuade her that it was wrong thus to continue oppressing not herself but theru with this long past af fliction. She was faithful and tenacious of impressions, but at the end of tour yeais she had resumed her ordinary dress and begun once more to mingle in the society of her mother's house. She was more attractive than in her girlhood, and her story was too well known ami created a touching interest in ller voutli and beauty. She had several admirers, but not until George Dana returned did »!ie allow any one to come near her as a lov» or. George had, perhaps, always been fond of her; he was, at any rate, now ar dently in love with Iter, ltcmambcring as Agnes did poor jealousy of the young man in London, it was with some mental disq jiclude and outward fctrujfglo that alio allowed herself to yield to the feeling* that, she could love again, and love her cousin George. However, his courtship was eoiarßuc oe-sful that she promised to inarry him when she had passed the fifth anniversary ot her husbands death. That date, whicli was to divide her old allegiance from her new, was tho 2Gth of August, 186-. The day passed quietly in the pleasant country-house. George Dana was to conio in the evening, and Agnes rose when she heard the train whistling at tho bend, and said she would walk across* the fl'ld to meet her lover. Every one siuiled and no one offered to accompany her. The family, consisting of the father anil mother of Ague*, lief three sisters, and four of her married sisters children, all sat on the piazza waiting for Agnes and George to return to tea, Suddenly Maty Holt exclaimed, "If Hugh Glendenning were alive, I should say that was he;" and she pointed to a man who passed the house a£ a distance ot some two rods, and who now at her exciamation, lilted his hat aild bowed. • The sight of this man created tho most powerful sensation in the group, and Mr. Holt sprang to his feet and went down to tho gate; but ho had vanished. Tho likeness to Hugh Glendenning had been startling; not only his face, bat his attitude and gesture and gait seemed to have do dared that it was Hugh Glen denning himself. In another moment Goorge Dana came running up, calling for help. He had, he said, while cfoss* ing the fields to meet Agues, seen her in conversation with a uiau who looked like Hugh Glendening, and who strode away, on his approach, and when he himself reached her alio had swooned away and was lying on the ground. Th troubled which now overwhelmed Agues and her lamily was one of those cruel enigmatical trouble which take all frcisliuess out of life. Agnes, when re stored to consciousness, declared that while she was grossing the fields her husband had suddenly starter! out from behind a tree, caught her by tho arm, held her lightly clutched, and said to her in a horrible tone, ''Do not dare to marry that mau !" r and that she remembered no more until she opened her eyes and saw her mother bending over her. A nights ful bruise on the tender flesh of her arm corroborated her story. The family had all seen a man who. it not Hugh Glen denning, was his absolute likeness. George Daua was the only one who combatted tho truth ,of these. He de* clared it to bo wholly impossible that Glendenning should bo alivo; he himself had-questioned tbe captain and officers on board the steamer after the suicide five years ago. £verythiiig pointed con clusively to the belief that the unhappy man had been drowned. The steamer had been searched oyer and over. On the fatal day of the disappearance they had not even sighted a vessel or boat; thus there could have beeu 110 rescue from the sea. He was dead. George decided with irresistible decision. When con fronted with the tact that they had *lf seen Hugh or his ghost, ho declared it it to be a chance resemblance; that Asjnea was dispirited and nervous, and when thf man touched Iter, disordered imagination supplied Hie words sUu Re lieved him to have spofceM. George, however, being broken-heart ed at the failiue of his engagement, was not lo be trusted a? a counsellor in such a crisis. Tho marriage »vas given up. AdvertUemci ts writ' put in the principal papers for a vcar imploring Hugh Glen denning, it alive, to communicuto with his wife and tu;r.i.'y, but not a word was hcird from him. Agnes nnturatlv suffered the crudest form of suffering— suspense and '.dread and helpless and hopeless misery. Her past was em bittered, present she bad none, and the future was full of doublS arnijieri'iM's. Gradually, as two years, then three years, passed, every one save herself ceased to believe in tho rcnlify of the apparition which had startled them all 26th dav of August. And at times even Aghes herself djubtod tho evidence of her senses. How could it bo possible I (hat Hugh was still alive when all those past eight yerr-) ho had nevor disclosed him&elt to the sight of auv of his friends? "When ho might M>me and claim her be fore all the world, what possible object could he have for lurking iu shadow only caring to overwhelm Tier when she mado an effort nt renewed lies? Gcorgo Dana nttlur*ll,v was not slow to help her in these questions and donbts. He tried,too, tu inspire her with courajre, that instead of cowering helpless before vague and nameless shadows in the dark nesi, she should resolutely go on and meet and grasp and defy them. By this lime, too she was legally freed from her husband, oven it he were according to the laws of her State; more than eight years had passed since his apparent death. Annes was at last persuaded lo end tho long suspense. She suffered not only for herself but f»r. Uuol'gfc, whose lit) was spoiling, and finally consented ty marry him privately from her Sister's house, iu 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 bo married by a strange clergyman. Thus everything unpleasant would bo avoided, and before consequences wore faced they would be actually met and conquered. The plan seemed destined lo bring the happiest results. The morning ot the wedding-dav dawned* Agues quietly ate her breakfast, then went to her room and put on her bonnet to go out and get married. As she stood at the window drawing ou her gloves a man stopped suddenly on the pavement, lookod up and gave a warning gesture, and theu ascended the doorstep. A moment later her sister entered the room and found Iter sitting down by the firo, huddling as if lo warm herself. •Why. Agnes,' said she, 'I expected to find you all ready to start. Hero is a little package wliioh some ono has just brought you. Unless it were a secret about the woddiiig, 1 should suppose this was a present.' 'There will bo no wedding,' said Agues, in a hopeless tone. *1 have just seen Hugh again.. It was he who brotlglit that. Lot me see it.' She opened the little parcel listlessly. It contained a ring—a man's wedding ring—the very one she had given Hugh nine years before. Agnes has never seen her husband sinco. Whether he is alive she does not' know; whether he died on tho 26th day of August at sea she docs not know; whether the chain of contradictory cir cumstances wo havo narrated were actual and based upon correct hypotheses that he himself appeared twice before her in the flesh she does not know. George Dana,urged by her entreaties and her prayers, finally renounced all hope of overcoming her reluotance to even think of hiin after her double warning and married. Agues is a saddened, changed aud iLclancboly woman. HOKRIBI.fC StTOUV IKON MEXICO (Logansport Journal) Last week, in Chihuahua, a woman weul iii a shomaker's shop in front of Uis dwelling and was measured for a pair of slioes- The son of Crispin said to the woman} "Yon have a very pretty foot." S® o you tbink so?" said she. lfe replied; "Yes; that is the prettiest foot in Mexico," The woman was to come back next day and leave one dollar when the shoes were to be commenced- The shoemaker's wife, hearing all, said nothing. The next day the shoemaker was out when the woioan with the pretty , foot called, according to the agreement, | and the wife got her into the back room and stabbed her to death. The wife then out a steak out of the dead womans leg and packed the body under the bed. The shoemaker came home and ate his dinner. Th J wife asked him how he li ked the meat. He answered th4t it was the best he had ever eaten. The wife then told him he had eaten n part of the prettiest leg in Mexico. He asked her what she inent. She showed him the body under the bed, and made a dash at him with a knife, but he escaped and ran to thV Palacio and' t01.4 the judge what had happened.
