In a certain city, not 80 far away from this
as to make it less of local interest. "A few ev-
enings since, party of friends met at a
social gathering ut a fashionable restaur-
ant. Some Were bachelors, and
"Heaven's best gift 20 mani The even
ing was cold, and most Of them wore over
coats. Two Of them were nearly alike and
were owned respectively by Charley c.
and Charley s., one Of them married and
the other single, and wild fellow, who a.
fast as he was out fone scrape was into an
other. His friend Charley c. Is a sober
man. cherishing a bTight-eyed but Jealous
little wife who loves him tenderly. He
found it difficult 10 obtain permission 10 at
tend the supper at all.
1t was given at last, with the understand
ing that he would come home early. He
did not, however, but sat late; so very late,
indeed. that he slept soundly the next
morning. He had met with a misfortune,
too having stumbled on his way home. and
rolled over In the street. His wife. how
ever, set about repairing the mishap the
next morning by cleansing the muddy
oveTcoat. While engaged In this occupation
her hand by the unerest chance in the world
strayed into one OF the side pockets Of his
coat. and encountering a neatly folded bill
let dou, subscribed simply 10 Charley, read I:
Do not 90 10 that horrid supper, love. but
come 10 me Instead. / arm so lonely. Your
devoted KATE.
Oh my but the little blue eyes dashed

aud forehead-when she read the few liBes.
There was a moments pause. as IL 10 still

was rudely shaken from his bed. whats

hands trembied with passion. as the Offend

too" Mr.. c. was fully aroused by this
time. He protested he knew nothing Of the
note; he did not know how the treacherous
little thing came into his pocket. He ap-
pealed 70 his wife's sense. She would hear
no denial, but instead, made another dive
into the coat pocket. Another little mis-
sive rewarded her search. IL was brimful
of the tenderest endearments, and dated
only two days back. but was in another
handwriting, very beautiful, and signed
Jennie" "Oh! you Turk-just look az
that!" and while Charley's bewlldered eyes
were perusing the letter another visit was
paid 70 the receptacle Of lOve-another let
ter came out. IL was delicate. but full Of
upbraiding. IL called Charley cruel, false,
deceitful; said that Fanny's broken heart
would be laid at his door; and that his
'once loved darling would die early"
The lips were white now with rage, the
blue ewes all afame. the little form drawn
up. TO its fullest height. Charley never saw
her looking so indignant.
sYou monsteri Why Brigham Young
would be ashamed TO do as you have done -
Another dive was made 70 the pocket, and
letter after letter brought out until dozen
strewed the floor, all evincing the tenderest
love for Charley. Unable TO cope with the
storm Of indignation. he made hasty exit
from the ROOM and leaving the house, be

peared with Mr.. G-'s overcoat, and re-
spectfully solicited the return OF his mas
ter's.
