A Divorced WIFE SERVANT IN HER 1Us-
BANDS FANILY-A gentleman living in this
city, and well to do, married about ten years
ago, and after living with his wife some five
years, he concluded TO get divorce, on ac-
count of the unhappness of their domestic re-
lations The wife assented, and he applied to
the courts and was successful A year passed,
and he concluded to venture once more in the
matrimonial market, and see if he could not find
one who would make his home happier than the
first. In this he was successful, and a short
time after his divorced wife applied TO him for
work in his family in the capacity OF servant
girl. The situation was given her, and she
now does the work in the house of which she
was once mistress, and beholds the endearments
layished upon another which were once be-
slowed upon her. The husband daily takes his
evening ride with his second wife, while the
first takes care of the children during their alb
sence. How the husband can endure to see his
former wife thus humlliated, and the wife bear
up under it, is to US an enigma. Gin. Times.
