Case of Unexpected Recognition.
The following story, though short is somewhat pithy
and its moral conveys capital story to the gentlemen
who select servant girls out of large crowd -
On Saturday, 23d ut, Mrs. Mary S. Rich agent O
the WOmens Protective Emigration Society," arrived
at the western depot from New York, in charge O
between seventy and eighty young women-twenty-ive
or thirty Of whom intended for this place. Early
in the morning married man in this city went to the
depot and inquired for Mrs. Rich The married mar
told Mrs. Rich that he wanted girl to do homework
Mrs. Rich told the married man that she could supply
him with girl to do housework Mrs Rich asked the
Mrs. Rich that he all right and that the servant
girl would be well treated in his family Mrs Rich thel
asked the married man to walk into the room where th
young women were. The married man walked into the
room Mrs Rich told the young ladies that the married
man wanted girl to do homework. One of the young
ladies then walked up to married man and said" II
go with this gentleman I've lived with him before he's
my husbandn' Somebody very much astonished
when the young lady found her husband, and another
somebody looked very pale when the married found
his first wife When the young lady saw her husband
enter the room
With wild surprise.
| As if to marble struck devoid of sense.
! A stupid monument mOtiOness she stood -
And when she crossed the room and said" He's my
husband"
| g They moved not
But, like dumb statutes or breathless stones
Star d on each other, and looked deadly PALE
But when the young lady her husbund was too
much astonshed to arcuate single sentence she said
in tones of melting tenderness My dear what made you
leave me five years ago without saying goodby ?-ant
why didn't you let me know you were living in such {
beautiful place Bloomington? If I had only known
you were living here, would have come long ago.
Tradition says that at this stage of the game the
ried man adjourned the meeting" and that he made
better time from the western depot than Golfer did
the banks of the Yellowstone when five hundred Black
feet Indians were after his scalp
We do not feel at liberty to publish, just at present
the sequel to the above interesting and powerfully writ
ten story buff the plot rpens into events of exraor
binary interest, shall endeavor to mpart all fact
bearing upon the case to our readers
