CHAPTER III.

EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTy-SEvEN.
The years, though they had flown on so
smoothly and so quietly had brought with
them other changes besides those we have
notice. Though it is in the same house,i is in
larger and more luxuriously furnished
room that we again find John and Mary sit
ting one beautiful night in the summer Of
1857
Eighteen hundred and fifty-seven, - it
sounds like any other date to younger ears,
but to how many does it bring sad-yes, Bit
ter memories. How many there are still toll
ing the weary path which leads to fortune,
who at the beginning of that year thought
they had almost reached that point at which
they could cease their toll, and rest. Had
our nation not received this check in its ma
terial progress, had our people not been
taught by such bitter lesson the ephemeral
value of riches, who knows that they would
but four years later have been ready to offer
up so freely their treasure and their lives
upon their country's alter. Had their hearts
not been so deeply touched in that dark cri-
sis by their own sorrow, and by sympathy
for other sufferers who can say they would
have striven SO nobly in a few years for the
rights of poor despised and down-trodden
race.
But to return to our story-John and his

CHAPTER Nv.

Doubtless itwould be much more plea
SAINT to both author and readers could we
make this crisis the turning point in John
Ash's life and allow him to abandon the
mad game which had proved his ruin and
heroicly fight his way once more up to for
tune. But any who expect my story so to
end do not remember the old lottery days.
They have not read the sad stories of mad
infatuaiion, written in the haggard eye, the
wasted cheek, and threadbarc garments of
many once respectable man who has in
in some moment of weakness surrendered
himself to this passion for gambling.
John got work and labored industriously
his wife helped him by every means within
her power, but somehow, they always ran
behind hand. With John so sober and in
dustrious, and Mary so frugal and cconomi-
cal, people wondered that "they did not get
along" Mary pinched and skimped to
make both ends meet" and wondered too,
but she did not dare ask John about it, for
that old confidential talks were as much
things of the past as were their former COM
forts, John was. moody and irritable and
sometimes cross.
A year had passed by and they had steadi-
ly grown poorer. They had moved to
poorer lodgings. They were always in debt
and trouble, Mary was worn down with care
and trouble. She had been compelled to
send her boy and girl to "places" in the
country and she now had to support the re-
mainder of the family. John more devoted
than ever to his infatuation gave her no sup
port whatever. His wife had long suspect
ed the cause Of their continued i'll fortune
and bitterly reproached herself for ever
having consented to the first venture.
At last one sad day her suspicious became
certainties. One evening on returning from
work she found her youngest darling, the
only one left at home, in spasms with the
dreaded Group. John was sent for and a
doctor summoned, but the latter said the
child was beyond mortal aid, that il he had
been sent for sooner he might have saved it,
but now 1t was too late.
The announcement fell with stunning
force upon the worn-out mothers heart and
in her desperate agony she turned upon the
man who had promised to love, comfort,
honor and keep her in sickness and in
health, and rallied at him as only woman,
goaded to madness by neglect and wrong,
can rail. In few brief moments she pour

BRADFORD. FRIDAY, NOV. I. l8e
To our Patrons.

We announce to the friends and

have been connected with the paper,
as editor, Tor nearly year, and have
become satisfied that the business
will allow a man to live, and we
have, in partnership with Mr.. W.
II. ii. Earle, purchased the Opin-
ion, and all accounts due the office,
of Mr. A. A. Earle; we have also
assumed all the liabilities libel
suits excepted Of The Office.
We intend to make some changes
i'll the paper, among which, as most
important to oar subscribers, we an
nounce that after January LIST, 1865.
our terms for the paper VIII be ONE
DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS per
year, III advance; if not paid within
thee months from the commence
ment of the subscription, Two Dol
lars. This places the price Of ON
paper below thai Of any County pa
per III the state; but at the present
price of white paper, and with the
increase in circulation which this
should give us, we think we can live
at this price; and can afford our al
Tcrtising patrons a better return
for their money. We shall also
make arrangements 10 have the
l'ricesUsrrcnt of the New York
Produce Market reported weekly
for ourpaper, and thus enable our
farmers to obtain correct rates from
actual sales.
We shall cndcavpr to make the
Opinion what Local Paper should
be; but in order to do this We must
have the cooperation of our friends
and patrons. We would request our
news as may come within their oh
servation, and thus enable us to en-
large that department Of our paper,
which we are aware has nos been
kept up to what it was when the
paper first started. For some rea.
son or other We are unable to get
any one TO send us items from Ger
tain parts OF this county, although
several have promised to do so.
We hope our readers will remember
that it is for their interest to aid
us in securing all items OF local inter
est.
We shall use our best efforts e
furnish our patrons Il good paper
and only ask the measure Of sue
cess which our efforts may deserve.
