But that was long after the evening on which Mrs- Wadswortb asked if there were any letters for "her house." l'eering over the little row spread be fore her, she saw that there was me a lall envelope addressed in a delicate lady's hand t "Jaraea Wadswortb, Ksq." 'That n Jim," said the old lady "Who can have writ to him ?" There wtre 110 more. She put her sin gle epistle iu her pocket, pushed the rest toward Mr. llrisdil and nodded at him.

Then the younger Bristol helped the' old lady into her wagon, banded hi her basket of groceries, and she drove away, with the letter iu her pocket, and a epieer feeling, half fear md half anger, at her heart aa she said over and over again, talking aloud to hcr aelf, as the old white horse plodded along tli leuuly road : , , "Who has writ to Jim, T wonder?".

' There's been 11 quarrel," she said al last, "iiiui she's written this lo make up. If he never got it, he'd never speak. I know his pride. She cmues ol' a poor lot. I hate her; she's a bad wife for him. 1 think it's my duty nut to givo it to him. I'll think it over." Then she opened the the tlrawer of her bureau in which she kept valuables and money and thrust the Inter in and locked it up. She had time to think the matter over before Jim came in, fur ho was late, and "that girl" grew more distasteful to her every moment. "doing to the picnic, Jim ?'' she asked, as they sat over their tea. And Jim an swered that be hadn't thought of it. "I'd go if I was you, aud take your Cousin Miranda," said the old lady. "She expects it, I guess." And Jim, only moved by the remembrance of Nellie liar low and a wish to make her jealous, agreed tn the proposition. He look Mi randa to (he picnic next day, and Nellie, w:is there, and saw lln iu together, and re membering her note, written ill u moment of softness, when the wish to recall certain angry words she had Said So' Jim, was strong upon her, she grew sick with shame. She had held out her hand ill reconciliation, aud he hail not taken it. Could anything make ti woman more in dignant? Alter that she never even looked at him. Old Mrs. Wadswortb hnviiur kent Jims letter a few days, felt that too much explanation Would be necessary were she to give it to him after so long a delay. Besides it would be well for her son that be should not see it. He would, of course, marry his cousin Miranda only a second cousin a jrl she liked, J'and who would rjovej aj kaVsell' up abyvrf her niuthci in-law a girl who did not. like poor Nellie, look aggravatiugly stylish. Hut Jim did not many Mirauda. No one will ever know whether Miranda would have accepted him or not. After awhile she married a Mr. Wiseman, who was better off than Jim, and old enough to be his father; and Nelly, too, married. lulu tier lieart burnt with resentment ;aiust her old lover, she chose a new onc, a dark, moody, silent sort of man, A l. . : 11 .1 vjiiocarneu ner away 10 tlie city, whence there carac rumors now and then that she wax not happy, that her husband led a wild life. Once some ouu declared that ho was a very madman iu his jealousy, and locked her in her room at limes. Hut no one knew whether it was true or noi. Her parents would never say anything ibout her. As for James Wadswortb. hu had goiie to church to see her married and had gone home wiih a headache. The next 1l.1v he was delirious; a brain fever had set in and the doctors shook their heads over him. What he said in his delirium only his mother understood, but if she could have undone the deed thai she had done, she would have thanked Heaven.

Nelly came back to her father's home in a widow's cap. Aud the people of Koru hill learnt that her husband was dead, and began to wonder whether be had lift her money.

He uttered Nelly's name; he re proached her with inconstancy; he called her tender names in one breath aud curled her in the next. Then he gave one wild cry and sprang up rh his bed and dropped back again-, with his eyes staring toward heaven. . Hu was dead; the mother knew that before they told her so. , The next day a coffin stood in the low-ceiled parlor, and in it lay a pale statue with closed eyes all that was left of Jim Wadswortb. One by ono Un friends and neighbors camo softly in to look at him, and went away more softly, often iu tears. At last came ono woman a fair woman, in a widow's cap and Veil who stood longer than tho rest look iug at the still, white face, and at her own rciiicst was left alone with it, while cur ious people iu the other room wondered whether it was true that Nelly aud Jim were nnetr engaged and had quarreled.

As she stood there, with thoughts for which Micro were no words trooping through her mind, an inner door opened and an old woman crept in. It was Mrs. Wadsworth, broken down at last, and with the strange, restless light of uu un settled intellect in her light blue eyes. "' She held an old letter in her hand, and it rustled as she slowly crossed the room and stood beside the coffin. "Jim," said she, "here's your letter. I've been thinking it over, and siucc yuu take it so hard, you'd better hava it. . I only Vc))' It' for your own good, Jim. She ain't the girl fur you; but you take it so hard.

''Here is your letter, Jim," she whis pered. "Oh, Jim, Jim," and she laid it softly under tho whito (lowers upon the bosoiii, and, stooping, kissed the waxen bands and brow. "Oh, Jim, Jim!" she said again, and let her black veil down over her face, and went her way; and the gossips who stared after her as she passed down the village street, wondered again if she had ever been engaged to Jim Wads wortb, but uonc of them ever knew.

Booth rose slowly and reverently from his chair. It was wonderful to watch the play of cinutioiis that convulsed his countenance. He became deathly pale, and his eves, turned trembling upward, were wet with tears. And yet he had not spoken. The silence could be fell. It became absolute ly painful, 'till at last the spell was broken as if by an electric shock, as bis rich-toued voice, fruiu white lips, syllabled forth "Our Father, who art iu heaven," etc., with a pathos and solemnity that thrilled all hearers. lie finished. The silence continued. Not a voice was heard or u muscle movoi if ti riii uidience, 'till from a remote ubriicr of the room 'a sub- seued Booth by the hand.

Treat her as tenderly when a ma trou as wbeu a miss. Don't quite make her the maid of all work and ask her why she looks less tidy and neat than when "you first knew hor." Don't buy cheap, tough beef, and scold her because it does not come on the table "porter-house." Don't grumble about squalling babies if you can not keep up a "nursery;" aud re member that baby may "take after papa" ill his disposition. Don't smoko and chew tobacco, and thus shatter your nerves and spoil your tenier, and make your breath a nuisance, and then complain that your wifu declines to kiss you. do homo joy ous and cheerful to your wife, and tell her the good news you have heard, and not silently put 011 your hat and go out to the "club" or "lodge," aud let hor afterwards learn that you spent the evening at the opera or at afauey ball with Mrs. Duah. Love your wife; bo patient; remember you are not perfect, but try to be. Let whis ky, tobacco and vulgar company alone. Spend your evenings with your wife, and live a decent C'hristiau life, and your wife will be loving and true if you did not marry a heartless beauty, without sense or worth; if you did, who is to blame if you suffer the consequences. FKIGHTESKO BY FOltRKHT. One of the best known of American ac tors, who is now living in modest retire ment, the other day told this story of the stage to a party of friends : " I began iny professional career as a supernumerary at one of the New York theatres," said he, "and I shall never for get my first speaking part. Forest was playing 'Macbeth,' and I was supporting him by carrying a spesr. At the last moment the utility man, who was to an nounce that Birnam Wood seemed ap proaehing Dunsinane, was nowhere to be found. I was very ambitious, uud had often besought the stage manager to let me essay a speaking part. The golden op portunity had come. I was selected to go on in the utility man's place. A few mo ments sufficed to make me perfect it) the one line T had to srsnk.

Near Concord, Cabarrus county, Ro bert Paul bought a gold mine which ycurs ago was partially opened by an Knglish nian, at whose death work was stopped. The mine filled with water, and a large mound of earth taken from it became cov ered with vines. Last week Vaul hauled seme of the earth from near the mouth of the mine to his bouse. Among the gravel was a lump of gold, lie took the earth tn the creek, washed it, and got 8112.) from a cart load. He kept the affair secret. There are HUH bushels uf earth at the mouth at the pit, and a man named Mli llinson made Paul u cash offer of $,"ill per bushel for it, which was refused. It is stated by u man ninety years old that the mine was really worked by the Knglisbmaii iu a mysterious way art) with wonderful success. It was in Cabarras county that gold was first found in North 'aroliua. The nugget weighed twenty- eight peunds, and for many years remain ed the largest 011 record until surpassed by one found in California and latter by one discovered in Australia. NEW ORLEANS STREET-CAR. Letter lo Han Friineiai-o Argonaut. Speaking of cars brings to the mind the reat politeness uud couitcsy of Southern men. I have seen three or lour of them rise lauiultuucously to oiler scats to an old and ragged nc"rcss, uud never since 1 have been iu New lileaus have i seen a womau standing in a car while a man oc cupied a seat, fn New York many hand somely dressed and attractive women have become accustomed by long cxperietico to cling to the strap of a swerving bob-tail car, while a dozen or fifteen men sit com fortably. One grows accustomed to that sort of thing, and docs not realize what a man's duties are until it is brought forci bly before him, as it is hero by the man ners of the men of New Orleans. The admirable part of it is that they do not discriminate iu the least. A ragged ws- man of wretched aspect is treated with the same courtesy on evety occasion as her more attractive and younger sisters. In passing up her fare, stopping the car in fact, in every little attention that can be paid to a woman passenger there is posi tive competition among the men. Every street-car driver hero is called dalhtgher." The only slang expression in the place is that which ih addressed in a chorus to the driver, alter a womau has alighted, by the men passengers.
