Faithful Wife, Even Unto Death

A Faithful Wife. Even Unto Death
"A Strange, Sad, but True Tale.
From the New Albany Ledger. Oct. e5.l
Seven years ago last June, a young man
named James Esterly paid his addresses to
and won the heart of young lady named
Maria Pearson, and married her. They
both resided in pleasant little city in the
State of Ohio. Esterly was gentleman
of high social standing, was engaged in a
good business, and apparently prosperous
in his financial affairs. His family was
highly esteemed, and he was considered a
''good match" tor any young lady in the
town. Miss Pearson was also of an ex-
celleLt family, highly educated and ac-
complished. possessed of rare personal
charms, and the life and joy of the circle in
which she moved.
For year after their marriage. they
lived most happily together. ESterly
treating his beautiful wife with the utmost
affection. But the war fever running high
in his city, he finally sold out his business
and entered the armv, being appointed to
the position of Adiutant in one of the
Ohio regiments. While in the army, like
thousands of others, he fell into habits of
intemperance, and SO completely did the
fell demon of drink gain the mastery over
him that before he had served two years
he was apparently a hopeless drunkard.
He was persuaded by his friends to re-
sign his position and return home, they
hoping he might reform if his army asso-
Citations and temptations were broken of
and removed. He did so, and went home
but there he continued i'm his course OF in
temperance. and soon, by gambling, the
natural adjunct of intemperance, ran
through all his property and reduced him.
self and family to absolute poverty.
During all the time of his rapid descent
the Young and loving hut now nearly
heart broken wife, clung to him. pleading
with him to cast out the hellish demons
that were polluting his soul and surely and
swiftly leading him on to the most certain
and lrretrlevaole ruin: But he needed moi
her entreaties; he did worse, for he bea,
her; and when her heart was breaking un.

The Frozen-weu Of Vermont.

The correspondent of the Wisconsin State
Journal writes from Sunbury, Vermont,
about visit to the celebrated frozen well
in that neghborhood.
We had gone through the valley, and a
mile beyond, going south. when at the forks
of the road, my companion spoke: "Would
you like to see the frozen well ?" ''Yes.'
So he turned to the lett of our intended
route and pulled FEW hundred yards be-
yond, where party of men are at work
under the direction of Boston Society of
Natural History. to investigate the mys-
terry of the frozen well, and which has not
yet been discovered.
Several years ago some curious or wise
men of Boston raised three hundred dol
lars, and put Professor Jackson up to solve
the mystery. ecame one fine day. looked
down the well, saw the ice i'm it in mid
summer, drank the solid water, looked wise
and puzzled, went home and wrote report
that i'm his opinion an iceberg had been
buried there in the drift period. Good and
wise-but people laughed about it, and
some were so mean as to talk about the
price paid.
Mr.. SAWYER has dug two new wells, each
forty or fifty feet from the old one and
finds no ice or unusual appearance. The
wells are sunk through coarse gravel and
stones. In winter the ice forms over the
we'll eight or ten inches in thickness. and
remains in the well all summer. Holding
a looking glass so as to throw the rays of
the sun to the water in the well, l saw a
rim of ice adhering to the stones at the
surface of the water. 1 drank the water,
which is pure and ice cold. If Mr.. Sawyer
has solved the myste-y he did not tell us.
1t is very strange and curious thing, and
| has excited much inquiry, but the frozen
well is cold and unexplained.

COLUMBUS, o., THURSDAY MORNING,

A man would have cursed the brutalized
husband for such conduct. But not so this
loving wife. To all appeals made 20 her to
leave his wretched home and return to the
pleasant one of her parents, she turned
deaf ear, ard answered only: 81 love him
and cannot desert him now. 1 will still
save him, through the help of God.''
But matters grew worse, instead of bet
ter. The wife and her two children were
often without food, and the husband and
father seemed to have become more fiend
than human. Still the faithful wife clung
10 him; still she prayed for him; and still
her faith was unshaken that he would ulti-
mately reform, aud again become to her
all he was in the first years of their love
and welded life.
One night in December, 1865. the hus-
band came home at a late hour. The poor
wife was crouched over the fast dying en-
bers, with her helpless babe in her arms.
She noticed that Esterly looked more wild
and crazy than usual, and his nerves were
twitching at fearful rate; yet she did not
fear him. Finally he asked her why she
had not better fire. She replied that she
had no more wood. This seemed to make
a maniac of him, and the demons that had
been lurking in his wake or besetting his
footsteps, seemed suddenly to possess his
soul, and seizing the infant from his wife's
arms he hurled it upon the Goals, and for a
time would not allow the wife to remove it.
He was delirious-the mind had yielded
to the demon pressure, and he was mad
dened, desperate tiend. Finally the child
was rescued from the fire; but it was too
late to save it, In agony it fingered for two
days, and then God, in his mercy, took it
up to Heaven, and give it home among
the angels.
The maniac father rushed out into the
night shrieking and screaming; but soon
afterward he was seized by some of the
officers of the town, taken to his wretched
home, and there confined for days, until.
through the skill of a physician and the
constant nursing of his wife, he recovered
At first the wife told that while sitting over
the fire nursing the child she had fallen
asleep and the child had dropped from her
arms into the fire. And it was this acci-
dent, she said, that had crazed hel husband
and caused him to flee from the house. Ii
was nearly year before her parents knew
to the contrary.
When Es erly had recovered the wife
told him how the child had come to its
death. She AYERS with the utmost solemn
ity that this was the first knowledge he had
OF it. Then, she says, he resolved to live q
sober life in the future. In few month:
he left home, went TO Southern Illinois for
employment, and is once more engaged ir
business for himself. On Tuesday night
the wife arrived in this city, on her way tt
join her husband again. She remained
here with relative. from whom we derive
the above facts, until yesterday morning
when she left on the train of the Louis
vile, New Albany & Chicago road er
route for the home of him who has filled
her heart with such anguish, and darken
ed so many years of her life with sorrow
that might otherwise have been bright anC
| happy.
