Vorced and Re married.
From the Boston Traveler:I
A few years ago, a young and beauti
tul lady, living not thousand miles from
Boston, had two suitors, one poor an,
the other rich, the latter having less ia
vor IN the eyes Of his mistress than hi
rival. And as usually the case in sucl
instances, the young lady's preference,
conficted with that of her relatives ant
friends. So decided were they in thei
opposition to a match with the poo
mechanic, and so loud in their praises
OF the other, that the young lady finally
consented to become the rich mans
wife. They lived happily together
But IN the progress of years reverses

very quietly. In week everybody

week later the gossips added to their
statements the fact Gor wonder y that
he had gone to California to try and re-
pair his fortunes, leaving his wife, with
two young children, with means enough
for many years to come.
A year passed, and Mrs. heard
from her husband but once, and then

his stay might be longer than he an

Another year went by, and only one
more letter, this time full of business,
and stating the period Of his return still
more indefinitely.
Then came blank of several years,
with no letter, no money, no news of
any kind from her husband.
The tongue Of SANDER was not silent
during this period Of doubt, but every
circumstance rejecting on the fidelity
of the husband to the wife was magni-
fed, till she was led to believe herself
deserted. Without means, she had TO
depend on her friends for sustenance.
Thrown occasionally into the society
of her former rejected sutton, and be-
lieving that he had remained single for
her sake, and having nothing to hope
from her missing husband, she finally
applied for, and obtained divorce on
the ground Of desertion.
One can imagine what her feelings
were when she learned that her former
lover had never, since his rejection by
her, and her marriage to another, cher

of friendship.
Her disappointment was sharpened
with anguish when, few days after,
she received letter from her husband,
stating that ne had at last accumulated
a fortune beyond his most sanguine ex-
pectations, and was then on his way
home, with closing request that she
would meet him at New York. She
gathered from the letter that money had
been sent her often during those years,
but which she had never received
She knew her husband, if afectionate,
was also proud, and she feared that he
would never forgive the slight involved
in the act Of obtaining a divorce. But
she finally resolved on full confession,
and on the day Of the arrival Of the
steamer, she was the first to greet her
late husband, who, after hearing all the
particulars of her conduct during his
absence, was at first inclined to refuse
his forgiveness, but finally decided to
overlook the past, with it's mistakes and
errors, and again accompanied to the
altar the object of his early affections.
