Yesterday afternoon it was the fate o
Justice Winship to adjudicatc upon cast
of bigamy. About five years ago there wan
dered to the city of Philadelphia, down East
an American Teuton, by name Andreas Walz
He was young, feshy and said to be good
looking Waltz had an inclination toward:
widows, and being matrimonially inclined
resolved on looking up some Fascinating
survivor of dead husbands Affection
Mrs. Verana Saager answered the spirit Of
Waltz dream, and more than answered it, fol
she had neat little fortune of $4,000 OF
The charms of the widow and her money
were too great for Walz, so he fell in love
with and married both His affection for the
dollars. however, strange as it may appear,
survived his affection for the charming relict
of the money making Saager. The pair had
been married by Rev Mr. Ronesch, of Phila-
delphia, on the 10th day of February, 1866
Six weeks subsequent to that time the adven-
turer Walz became non est, as did the bulk of
his wife's money. After her lords disappear
ance, Mrs Walz said nothing to her. neigh
bors, and allowed them to suppose that she
had not been deceived by her quondam hus-
band. Owing to this hints of foul play were
freely INDUCED in, and most people imagined
that Walz had come to an untimely end
The twice made widow sighed for her sad fate
a little while, but sought no other solace in
the way of loving and being loved. She took
the matter very philosophically, and attended
to her profession of millinery with praisewor-
thy industry About two weeks ago the
Philadelphia widow removed to this city in
pursuit of fortune and peace of mind. About
the middle of July paragraph appeared in
the city papers stating that that lady had
been taken suddenly ill-sunstruck, while
waiting for the strect-cars on the corner of
Randolph and Desplaines streets. The lady
was taken to neighboring drug store, and
went home after recovering her senses. She
did not give her name In the justice court
on yesterday afternoon the mystery was clear
ed up. The lady who was overcome by the
heat was Mrs. Verana Saager alias Walz.-
It was not the sun that struck her down.
It was something worse. It was the infuri-
ating sight of her long lost but unprincipled
husband arm in arm upon the sidewalk with
a lady young and fair!
The wronge9 lady, two days after having
looked upon the apparition before described
waited upon lawyer and asked his advice
in the matter. The affair was given into the
hands of Constable Hartman, and he, by aid
of a photograph, went in pursuit Of the truant
husband After diligent search he managed
to find traces of the fugitive. It was discov-
cred that Walz had been 'smarried" in this
city on the 10Th of August, last year, to a
Miss francesca Bruna. Constable Hartman
informed the lawyer of these facts, whereupon
the legal parsonage had an afidavid of biga
my sworn out against Walz, and the latter
was Immediately arrested. The scene in the
justice Office was at once exciting and interes
ting. The feminine rivals glared at each
other with fercest fury; but the latest wife
clung to the culprit with all the ardor of
young affection.
Justice Winship having heard the evi
dence admitted Walz to bail in 81 900 to APP
pear for trial before the recorders court
The young wife offered to pay the money
down if they would only let cher darling off,
but the bail would not or could not be accep-
ted Some male friends of the accused final
ly came to the rescue and he went away with
the young wife in state of intense pleasure
The abandoned wife widow looked pale and
sad, but submitted to her fate with resigna-
ton becoming a woman who had experience
of two rounds of matrimonial martyrdom.-

A Coop HEART.-There was great mas
ter among the Jews, who bid his scholars
consider and tell him what was the best way
wherein man should always keep. One
came and said that there was nothing better
than good eye, which is in their language, a
liberal and contented disposition. Another
said good companion is the best thing in
the world. A third said, a good neighbor
was the best thing he could desire and
things to come-that is, a wise person. But,
at last. came in one Eleazar, and he said,
good heart was better than them all. True,
said the master, thou hast comprehended in
two words all that the rest have said; for he
that hath good heart will be both conteAted
and good neighbor, and easily see what is
fit to be done by him. Let every man then
seriously labor to find in himself a cincerity
and uprightness of heart at all times, and that
will save him abundance of other labor.

Is is night now and here is home. Gath

lie alike at rest. Ia the midst of great
peace and calm, the stars lock out from the
heavens. The silence is peopled with the

gricfs rise out Of their graves, but now alike
calm and sad. Eyes, as [ shut mine, look at
me that have long ceased to shine. The town
and fair landscape sleep under the starlight
wreathed in the autumn mists. Twinkling
among the houses, light keeps watch, here
and there, in what may be sick chamber or
