Death of an Actors Wife.

, From the st. Louis Democrat, Aug. 4
The coroner held an inquest. ves-
terday, at No. sos Labadie street ON
the body of Mrs. Esther Wallace
wife of Robert c. Wallace, the com
edlan, who died from the effects of
liquor and frequent use of opium
Her story is sad one A few wears
ago she was happy wife and moth
er, with friends and relatives around
her, and moving in good society.
She was then handsome, inteIii-
gent woman. Her husband was an
actor, receiving fair salary, and
they lived genteelly. In time she
became addicted to drink, and her
husband, on returning home from
the theatre, frequently found her
sehseless from lntoxication. Failing
by arguments to induce her to abaE,
don her evil practice, and being
thrown out of situation, he left the
city, and his wife was compelled to

years old. The deserted wife MIGHT

she had possessed sufficient strength
or mind to give up the wine Gun. but

drank strong liquor for the purpose
OF drowning her sorrow. The life
she led impaired her health. and to
ease the pangs of bodily pain. as well
as to soothe her sorrow, she used
opium daily, increasing the quantity
with the increase of her craving for
the drug. In a small room on an
obscure street she lived a miserable
life, losing all self-respect and energy.
The neighbors helped her in her dis
tress, but she made no effort to helm
herself. Several times a day she
would seno her little girl out to pur-
chase whisky and opium. For the
last two weeks she was unable to
leave her bed. Her neighbors in
duced DR.. Pettigrew to call and see
her, and two ladies' visited her and
rendered her some assistance. The
room in which she was lying was in
shocklngly filthy condition, and
eh1llted such slckening smell that
complaints were made to the police.
Two policemen visited her, and some

who has the sixth commandment t

WHEN To WATCH.

On, watch you well by daylight,
In daylight may you fear;
bqt keep on watch in darkness,
For angels then are near,
FOR Heaven the sense bestoweth
Our walking life to keep;
And tender mercy showefh
To guard us in our sleep.
ON, watch you Well in pleasure,
For pleasure Oft betrays;
But keep no watch in sorrow
When joy wIthdraws its rays
But IN the hour of sorrow.
As in the darkness drear,
10 heaven entrust the morrow,
For angels then are near.

The following story is going the
rounds of the regilious press: A
little child, being very weakly in
body, was ordered fresh egg every
morning. On one occasion, the sup
ply of country being exhausted, bis
mother said to him at the breakfast t
table. "There is no egg for George
this morning" The little child
paused, and looking up said, "Lord
George; negg, negg- Amen" The
mother in astonishment said "WeIl
we shall surely have an egg to-day,
no matter where it comes from. .'i
No more was thought of the matter
until the mother in the course of
the day, called at the butchers to
purchase some meat. The butcher
said to her, "Ma'am, would you be
offened if / were to send up lovely
fresh egg for the baby? 1t is just
laid, and thought, as he was deli
cate, he might like it," The point
made by these papers is that the
butcher in question had never done
this before, nor has he since there
fore, Lord must have put it into his
heart to think of his child in order
that the prayer of the infant might
be answered.
