Elopement- Runaway Wife Carries
off $4,000

We arc reliably Informed that Mrs.
IIoloyd, wife of Mr.. Wm. IIolroyd, Il
wollknown and worthy engineer on the
Georgia Railroad, clopcd from Atlanta
last Monday night, with Mr.. Tomlinson,
a salesman in the dry goods store of Mr.. NJ.

earnings of Mr.. Holroyd, saved by years
of industry and economy
Mr.. Ilolroyd reached Atlanta on Mon
day night ut II o'clock, and found that
his wife was missing lie afterwards learn.
ed that she left at Sc clock in the evening,
and walked to Fast Point-6 miles
where she took the cars for Columbus via
Opclika. Thence she proceeded to Macon,
and left her baggage in charge of an ac,
qualntancc, and proceeded on to Augusta,
where on last Thursday, Tomlnson met
her and they proceeded to Branchville,
and thence to Kingsvile, since which they
have hot been heard from
Tomlinson is a fine looking middle-aged
man, weighing about two hundred pounds.
Mrs. Holroyd is a full-faced and comcly
woman, twcnty-scven years old. She is
the second wife of Mr.. IIolroyd, to whom
he has been married several years, and he
has never suspected her fidelity, and they
haze, we learn, lived happily together.
They, as we'll as Mr.. Tomlinson, arc
English people, and the guilty pair will
probably attempt to return to England. -
The police at all the ports are on the look
out, aud it will be seen that though they
manage adroitly, there is but slim chance
for them to get off. Mr. IIolroyd has al-
ways confided his earnings to his wife, and
the perfidioHs dame has left him almost
pcnnilcss. Her conduct is especially dis.

especial sympathy, and should not be suffer

Infamous conduct Of misguided stopmoth.
or. We trust that ifTomlinson is caught,
Mr.. III. will make an example of him.
Society is too tolerant of the miscrcants,
who prey upon its most sacred regulations;
and the licentious tendencies of tho times
call for summary vengeance upon the heads
OF those who glory in tho shalneI of seduc-
tion and adultery.

"This question, probably, is one of as

June Weather.

We have delightful June weather, with
its charming concomitants. But listen to
HowITr on the subject. lie says:
1t is the very carnival of Nature, and
she is prodigal of her luxurics. 1t is
luxury to walk abroad, indluging every
sense with sweetness, loyeliness and har
mony. How delicious, too, are the even
ings become! The frosts and damps of
Spring are past; the earth is dry; the
night air is balmy and refreshing; the
fragrant breath of flowers steals into cur
houses; the rose, with its blooms of deli
cate tint and odor, from the deepest red to
the purest pearl; the wreathed and lus-
cious honeysuckle embcllish the waysidc,
and make brave the garden" To all this
our Southern cline adds the exquisite per-
fumc of the orange blossom, the intoxica-
ting incense of the magnolia grandiforia,
and the voluptuous breath of the Cape Jes,
saminc, and thousand other scents and
sights the Floria of England, under whose
inspirations lIowitt wrote, does not fur
nish.

Who dwell in waters cleaI,
Thou wouldst conle down at once to me
And rest forever here.

81 cannot overlook her ingratitudc in
refusing to acccde to my wishes )" and
the speaker, noble, but haughly look
ing woman, was pacing with rapid steps
the richly carpetcd room ofan aristocratic
mansion in the city of Newly -
"Noble, handsome, wealthy, match that
any girl in the city would be proud of ;
what can possess her to refuse him,
cannot imagine"
Excuse lie, Mrs. Stanly: Miss Ellen
is not ungrateiul, only wretched, so
wre'ched that one glance at her sweet,
pale face makes my heart ache for her !;
do not be harsh with her; | know she

Mrs. Stanly paused IN her hurried
walk ,hrong Ii the apartment, and gazed
at her with unteigncd astonishmcnt; for
during the six years that Margaret Dale
had resided under her roof, she had
never given an opinion unaskcd, much
less advice ; but plain in person, and
dependent upon the bounty of another,
as she was, she possessed noble and gen
erous heart and with woman keen per-
ccption, when unbiased by interest, she
guessed the cause ofEllen's unhapplness:
but she judged it more prudent to say
nothing of it to Mrs. Stanly, without
her consent. Margaret Dale was one of
that much-ncglected class of persons
styled sold maids," and although no
husbands or chldren's images were
engraven in living characters upon the
tablet Of her heart, her mind was not
warped by mans neglect and indifference
to her worth. She had been, in her
girlhood, wealthy and beloved; but sud-
den reverscs broke hcr fathers heart,
and he left his only daughter to the
mercies of Il cold and unteeling world
She had been lonely and desolale until
Mrs. Stanly had given her home there
she was known as "Aunt Margaret, ;"
lived and respected by the household.
"Perhaps you would have some in
fuence over her-she seems very fond
Of you will you not try, Margaret %
was Mrs. Stanly's next remark.
81 will use my best endeavors," re-
piled she; but if you cannot convince
her. fear my persuasions will fail"
and with slow, thoughtful step she left
the room.
