a. Methodist and Sunday-school teacher, that az
husband he was brute. She suffered not little but
sbe suffered silently rather than lay her burden upon
her friends Stephenson gave her no support, though
M recently his wages from his trade were large.
Where the money went was TO her then problem,
bicb subseouenf circumstances unraveed. At length
xork failed him. and about fortnight since he, one
afternoon, left her at sisters house, saying that he
vas going 10 New-York to look for work, but would
return shortly. She has seen him since. When
late that night she returned to her own home, she
foupd note from him saying that he was going TO
Hartford The abruptness Of his departure, and some
other circumstance led her to make inquiries, and the
astounding result she reached, partly from the ac
kpowledgments Of his own relatives, was, that for
some years before he had met her. he had lived with
other wonen one Of whom claimed to be his wife, and
by another of whom was the father of child She
learned that during the Summer while she was absent
at her grandfaihers in the country, he had been living
with and supporting Of those women, and
that with her he had gone to parts unknown.
Other facts in his history had been gradually
revealed to her, which it would have been
well had she known year earlier. Mr.. G. W. Ste
phensOn, the Sunday-School teacher and member OF
The Second street Methodist Church, had been well
known in Philadelphia as prizeh fighter by the name
Of Adams; she had that his ndy bore marks q
many desperate encounter and she very well knew
from his conduct that he anything but what he rep
resented himself to be- She was nevertheless appalled,
at this new calamity which made her widow while still
wife, and by position maid, though still we 'oed'

as far as can, and wipe off far possible the
stain that has been made TO attach to her by her
connection with a scoundrel. And she hopes that

saved rom his arts by the publicity which is given to
her MISFORTUNE
