Matilda Heron.

Matilda Heron, in the very greatest
briIliancy of her career, became fascin-
ated with a man who had gained some
reputation as a musician, composer
and leader of an orchestra. 1t was his
music that won her. She loved him.
and married him because she loved him
He had other motives. 1t was not her
talent, il was not her personal appear
anee. il was not her kind heart or good
reputation which attracted him. Ii was
the money she had earned and her abiI-
ity 10 earn more IL did not take LONG
for the loving but deceived wife to dis
cover this. Hard things and sorrowful
things are quickly forced upon our COM
prehensions i'm this world.
Matilda Heron no sooner became con-
WINGED of this than she set about to do
what only her own generous, but pecu-
liar nature would have suggested. "He
married me for my money! she said to
her friends, "and he shall have it,"
She at once proceeded to make over to
him in legal form her house, her ward
robe, her diamonds, everything of value
which she had in the world. 1t was in
vain that her friends attempted to dis
suade her from a course soabsurd from a
utilitarian point of view. She was OBJ
stinate in her purpose, and completed
the sacrifice by paying this man 81 800
year rent for the very house which she
decided to him, and which she had paid
for with her own hard earned money.
OF this husband, il is sufficient indi-
cation of character to say that he ac-
cepted all this.
Matilda Heron had no heart for the
stage after this. She determined TO earn
her living by teaching elocution. But
pupils were few, for the woman was
now poor and obscure. She removed
from one residence TO another trying to
live by economy when she could not
work. 1t was no use. She was forced
again to try the stage. But grief had
made sad havoc with her spirits, time
dreadful inroads upon her attractions.
"Hou can never please the public with
that figure" said one manager to her.
''The public will only look at the heart
and brains of Matilda Heron" she said
confidently.
But her confidence was misplaced.
The public had found new idols and neg
lected its old favorite. Then she wrote
new plays, in which she hoped to at
tract with novelty. One of them, it is
remembered, was called "The Belle of
Somewhere" -aal
at is an excellent play" said the
manager who produced it for her, "but
it needs belle.
The next that is heard of this poor,
broken woman she is laughing stock of
a st. Louis audience, because Of her mis-
fortune and the negligence of her mana
ger. They speak of her now as ''erazy,n
and perhaps they are right. She has
certainly had trials and grief enough to
make her sO.-Chicdqo Times.

A DEAD SoUL.-In some few sad lives
there comes moment when the shadow
OF death passes over the soul without
touching the body. After that we wall,
along our appointed path through tbe
world, and laugh and talk, and buy. and
sell, and marry and give in marriage
may and more of our friends hold who
our hands and wish us God-speed on
our way, Imagine when they look into
our eyes tnat we are dead, that there is
no more light in the evening sky, nor
freshness IN the morning dew, that in
our hearts there is neither hope, fear, re-
Si11, reEan.esmorance, .s nor delight; only so
the show Of life for other needs than onr
of living soul. - t'''oe

WHAT A WOMAN DID.-On Wednes-
day last, Notwithstanding the storm, the
mercury nine degrees below zero, a
woman, accompanied by her little son,
q lad of some ten years, drove into town
from the north, and marketed at the
Ovid Cooperage some 200 hoop poles,
which she herself cut and loaded the day
before. The foreman of the Cooperage,
Mr.. Rose, seeing that the woman was in
adestitute condition, invited her and the
boy to his house, where they partook of
warm dinner. The poor woman's story
is indeed a pitiful one. Her husband has
been confined upon n bed of sickness for
some time, and is yet unable to leave the
house. Their scanty store of provisions
was out and with no bread for her little
ones to eat, she was forced to do some
thing to keep starvation from creeping
upon them. Although not an expert
with the woodman's axe she shouldered
it and manufactured with right good
will the two hundred hoop poles which
she sold at the Cooperage. The fall fires
burned up their stock of wood and
stavesi which the husband had in read
iness for market, expecting with the
proceeds accruing from their sale to pro-
cure provisions for the winter. One of
our citizens, hearing the straitened
circumstances in which the poor woman
was placed Immediately set about a col
lection for her benefit. A purse of 50 Is
was raised, which was received by her
with many thanks. This family live in
the township of Capin, Saginaw county,
some II miles from this village. After
making few purchases, the woman and
little boy started for their home at half
past eight o'clock to ride seventeen miles
in an open sleigh such night as the 10th
was, after having travelled that distance
in the early morning, with a load which
would admit of only slow travel. 1t was
an undertaking which few men would
wish to perform, but when we consider
it was performed by woman who
would not see her family suffer, we must
acknowledge her an able specimen of
her sex, and one worthy of assistance
and relief.-Orid( Mich Register.
