A Warming to Sick Wives.

KNIIE lfatteaacGn Herald says that just in
4 the outskirts of Poughkeepsie lives a
man by the name of Warren, who, for
years, has enjoyed plurality of wives, to
the dis gust of the neighborhood Warren
many years ago married young lady and
for years they lived in perfect harmony, but
one day she sickened and she and her
friends supposed she would die.
At this crisis she became anxious about
the welfare of her husband and busted her
self in selecting her successor, who was to
share with Warren the joys of matrimonial
bliss. This difficulty she at last overcame
by selecting woman she thought worthy
to follow in her footsteps.
Once settled in her mind, she desired the
twain to be made one flesh, even before her
death, that she might be made happy in her
last moments. They were accordingly
married by her bedside, and the sick woman
having her hearts wish gratifed turned
over to die, but it was not so to be, for she
much to the aston ishment Of all parties,
rapidly grew better, and soon recovered her
health, only to find her husband given to
another.
This was more than the woman bargain
ed for, but the two females fixed up the
matter, and it was agreed that they would
live in harmony in the same house, and
thus they lived for years. Both women
raised family of children one had six and
the other five. Some of these children are
grown up men and women at the present
time
About six months ago the wo men quarrel
ed and the husband was called on to settle
the difficulty, and he espoused the cause
of the youngest wife and it was determined
on by the two to get the old wife out of
the house, which has speedy accomplished,
and she is now doing housework in the
neighborhood while the second wife enjoys
the bed and board that was once hers.

NO. @.

The master, thinking the animal was
dead, left it on the spot, intending to re-
move the body next day. The horse, how
ever, recovered its senses a short time after,
found it's way home, and entered the court
yard at daybreak. It's arrival was welcomed
by the neighing of it's companions in the
stable, which noise awakened the master,
who was now furious at having failed in his
cruel purpose. He tied up the animal afresh
and again commenced to shower blows ON
it's head. This act of brutality was COM
mitted in sight of the two horses in the sta
BILE; at length one Of them, q young ami
nal, became so frantic with rage that he
broke his halter, and rushing on the man
seized him in his jaws, and after shaking
him violently, threw him down and tram
pied on him with such fury that had not
the mans cries brought some persons to
his aid the master would certainly have
been killed.

Remarkable Conduct of a Horse.

A recent French paper records an ex-
traordinary punishment inflicted by horse
on its master for an act of brutality by the
latter towards one of the animals stable
companions. A carrier named R, at
no time tender in his treatment of his four
footed servants, returned one night in a
state of semi-intoxication from Moamant
to Givors. The mans natural barbarity
was at this time aggravated by the drink
he had taken, and being dissatisfied with
the efforts of one of the horses-a poor
hack which had almost served its time-he
decided that the animal was no longer
worth his feed, and resolved to put an end
to it, For that purpose he tied the poor
brute to tree, and taking massive lever
used in moving goods, he struck the animal
several violent blows on the head, until the
unfortunate brute sank to the ground in
sensible.

The Haunted House.

thing here to be blowed on if we can help
it."
20 You are right there, jim but let us go
down. The rest of the boys will be along
SOON"
held my breath as the two villains pass
ed along to the cellar door, which / had
leaving the old kitchen again in total dark
ness.
What was their erand below? l asked
myself this question, and at once resolved
ly / glided out from the closet and felt my
way along the cellar door, where l paused
and listened. A faint light came up from
below, and the hum of distant voices.
Silently descended the stairs. When
reached the bottom / found myself in to-
tai darkness. The light had disappeared,
and the hum of voices had ceased.
What had become of them? 1t seemed
as though the earth had opened and swal-
lowed them up.
Suddenly heard q sound above my head
Others of the gang were crossing the
kitchen floor towards the entrance to the
cellar, and in moment more they would
be coming down upon me.
Hastily ] crept in beneath the stairs,
knocking over the basin of paint, with one
hand and dashing its contents over my
hands and face, Once under the stairs
there was plenty of room, and drew my
self up into as small compass as possible
against the wall, and with my hand upon
my revolver, waited for what the next mo-
ment would bring forth.
Tramp, tramp, above my head, sounded
the footsteps, and by them / was assured
that three more had entered the cellar, and
were cropping their way about in the dark
ness. Suddenly voice exclaimed impa-
tiently
"Why don't the boys show the light p
l shall break my neck over something that
may be lying about here"
"Give the signal and they will show it ?''
said another.
A sharp, short whistle cut the air like a
knife, and it had not died away before a
door in the wall, which had escaped my no
tice on my previous visit, was thrown open
and bright light flashed out revealing a
room of considerable dimensions beyond,
in which were tables and benches ranged
about. The light was too brilliant to pro-
ceed from tallow candle, for it lighted up
the cellar without, revealing the forms OF
the three men distinctly; had either of them
CHANGED to have turned their heads they
must have seen me crouching beneath the
stairs. But as luck would have it they did

what had discovered of their hiding-place,
but l refused to do it. Then they told me
that l should never leave the place alive un-
til had taken the oath, and that they
would starye me to do it or to death. So
they bound me and left me there till YOU
came"
Then, in return l told him of what had
witnessed, and by that time we were at his
mothers.
1t was past midnight, and the good wo-
man was fearfully frightened Tom had
come home sooner than he had promised,
and had gone at once to the haunted house
for me. She had watched anXiously for
our return, and when, at last we did pre-
sent ourselves, she was frightened more
than ever Toms face and clothes were
covered with blood, which had flowed from
the wound in his head while presented an
equally CORY appearance on account of the
red paint with which was plentifully be-
sprinkled
Leaving Tom to acquaint his mother
with the details of our adventures, I made
my way to the village, and soon had the
proper officers alert to their duty; for I
knew if we wanted to make a haul we must
do it before they would have chance to
return to see their prisoner. Quietly we
that which l had expected to find namely
tools, plates and presses of a gang of coun-
terfeiters, and large amount of spurious
currency, which they had already to send
to their agents in various parts Of the coun-
try.
1t was near morning when we got round
to call upon my old friend the driver, and
it must be confessed that we somewhat sur
prised that worthy when we accommodated
him with pair of bracelets. When he
saw me he was convinced that | was in re-
ality a detective, and that 1 already knew
all so he made clean breast of it and
implicated all of his companions, whereby
we were enabled to secure the whole gang
and thus break up q combination which
extended over large area of territority to
which no clue had before been obtained.
1t was daylight when got back to TOMS
mothers, and 1 found that neither of them
had been abed, SO anxious were they to
know how it all turned out, and when had
told my story they were Of one mind, that
