How a Woman was Cured efJeaIsusy.

hlos ahAllSlN - "a 49,
living not far from Twenty-fourth street,
has been reading "Griffth Gaunt," a
story of jealousy as everybody knows.
Now Mrs. Miller is herself not a little
inclined to jealousy, though her worthy
husband has never given her cause for
such a feeling. "What an awful thing
it would be-" thought the little woman,
"if my husband should 60 of and marry
another woman, as that wicked Griffith
did," The bare thought Of such a con-
tingency made her feel nervous. The
morning after she had finished the book,
Mr.. Miller started for Philadelphia on a
matter of business, as he alleged. This
the wife believed, till, in the course Of
the morning, she received q visit from
Miss Green, An elderly young lady, who
was still a maiden. Evidently some
thing was the matter, as Miss Green's
face indicated. After considerable ques-
tioning, she revealed the secret. She
had been to the depotto see some friends
off by the train, and had witnessed Mr..
Miller stepping on board the cars with a
pretty young lady, of whom he seemed
to have charge. Excited by the story,
poor Mrs. Miller needed no other IN
frmation of her worst fears. Her hus-
band was bent on committing bigamy,
she wa sure. "What would you do if
you were in my place, Miss Green?'
she asked with a sob. "Td go. after
him, and bring him back" said Miss
Green, COMPRISING her thin lips reso-
lutely. Mrs. Miller felt so miserable
that she felt she could not have q To-
ment's peace till she had satisfied her
doubts. She decided to follow the
proffered advice. It was yet early, as
Miss Green had come up directly from
the depot. There was time to catch the
ten o'clock train. Mrs. Miller dressed
herself hastily, and, taking a Broadway
omnibus, was on hand at the time. In
due season she arrived at Philadelphia,
and proceeded to the Continental Hotel.
Here she fell in with a gentleman
whom she had known before her mar
rage. Feeling helpless, she, with many
tears, communicated her dreadful sus-
picions, and besought his advice.
"Your husband will probably be at the
theater this evening"" said Mr.. B,
"You had better 60, and confront him
with the lady" "But l can't go alone"
az will accompany you with pleasure"
Thus it was arranged. Mrs. Miller and
her escort occupied seats in the dress
circle. Looking anxiously about, Mrs.
Miller finally discovered her husband
occupying a seat not far of. But he
was alone? She began to hope it was
oil right. But just then the husband
CHANGED to turn round, and to his aston
ishment beheld the wife whom he had
left at home, in company with a gentle
man whom he did not know. He was
not inclined to jealousy, but it looked
bad. He instantly made his way to his
wife's seat, and with a %sternness she
had never before experienced, demand
ed the reason of her presence. "In n
word" said he, ''tell me if you have
deliberately become faithless to me-"
~ faithless?" calculated Mrs. Miller,
horror struck. eyes, madam" show
can you dream Of such q thing, Charles2"
and she was ready to cry. "Because
I find you here with this man," said
Charles, savagely, "when you ought to
be at home" "I-I thought you had
run away with another woman" ex-
planned Mrs. Miller; I really did, Charles
and SO II came after you" The story
was told after a while, and it turned out
that Mr.. Miller's companion:was:a young
lady placed in his charge by a friend.
Somewhat ashamed, but very happy,
Mrs. Miller transferred herself to her
husbands charge, and returned the
next evening, perfectly cured of her
jealous imaginings.-N. Y Sun.
