else vile impostor.' Mrs. B. had the
fainting woman carried into her house
restored to consciousness, cleaned and
laid in comfortable bed, and there
drew from her during the night the
long and terrible history of her wrongs
and suffcrings. She told how on her
arrival at her aunt's in Boston, she
had formed the esacquaintance of Mr..
B., at the house Of one of her young
female friends, how dazzled by his
protestations of ardent love, pied gcs
Of constancy, and promises of speedy
marriage, she had loved and fallen !;
then when she pressed him to fulfill
his vows, he cold!y begged to be cx-
cuscd and left her with her shame.
Timidly feeling as if all who met
her saw her guilt in her face, she flew
from Boston, too fearful to die too des-
perate and unhappy to care how or
where she lived. Swift and fearful!
had been her downward course from
that time onward, plunging into crime
and dissipation to drown the torturing
memory of the past, until she had
reached the lowest round on the ladder
Of shame, and been forced to the
streets to beg for bread. The reaction
of feeling on the part Of Mrs. B.,
the husband was terrible. She
left his house the next morning taking
her sister with her. At present, little
hope is entertained Of the life of poor
Carrie.
The facts are strictly as we have
related them, strangely romantic as
they may seem, and those who have
known the parties will SO testify.-N
