becoming acquainted in Boston, where both
were working, got married. Each had .
little property accumulated by patient in
dus,ry, and they looked forward to life OF
unpre,entious happiness. A year passed,
during which they doubtless enjoyed them
themselves as much as most married couples
do. and at the end of that time the husband
mysteriously disappeared. The wife waited
and waited with a woman's hopefulness and
faith for the wanderers return, but the
years went by and the wanderer came not.
In due time, when il was folly TO expect
him any longer, the wife procured divorce,
resumed her maiden name and resumed her
work with earneStness. For some time she
was resident Of your State. where she
has relatives, but for the last few years she
has lived in her native town, taking care Of
her comfortable little property, the credita-
BILE result of her own toll. From the day Of
her husbsnd's disappearance in lS45 she
heard not one word Of him until last Febru-
ary She was accustomed to visit in the
family Of s., Of Boston. One day the
latter, while driving in the suburbs, took

breasts of both TOR nearly quarter Of
century were terminated the staid old
people of fifty odd years each renewed their
youth, and forgetting the long years of sep
and the one short year of cOnnubial bliss.
Very speedily these sentiments found ex-
preston, and before the interview ended
their troth was pgain plighted. On the fol-
lowing day they went together to a neigh
boring town to see his relatives on the
next day they bought 4 farm, or rather she
did on the next they were quietly remar-
ried, and removed to their new home TO
begin anew their joint fabric of life in which
so many, many stitches had beed dropped.

tune he has little or nothing. He has
been a wanderer on the face of the earth,
visiting almost all known lands. He has
lived in the Sandwich Islands, California and
elsewhere ; and it is singular fact that
while both were residents OF your State,
