lashes wet, his lips quivering as from
the fullness of his heart he gave thanks
to God, and he told me, holding her still
till more help came, how he had left the
parsonage stealthily somewhere neal the
hour of midnight and gone over to the
church-study to look for some missing
papers how, after a long search, he had
found them, and then the whim took
him to write, and he wrote till the clock
in the tower struck one that then he
left the church for home, and when he
had gone a few steps he saw the fire,
and thought it was in the direction of
the parsonage that he ran back long
enough to give the f~ire-alarm, and then
hurried home.

that he had loved her always-had

little he had known of the sweetness,

The Biggest Wife Story.

A queer story is told of two prosper
Jus merchants in West Broadway. One
of them was married rather late in life.
some two years age, and after he and his
wife had gone to housekeeping, he in
vited his fellow merchant to pay them a
visit. The latter went and was much
pleased with the new wife, who appeared
to be very young. They grew to be firm
friends. He told her he could n~ot'resist
the conviction that he had seen her be-
fore, at which she laughed and said that
was the impression obtained from all
sympathetic natures. Their cordial re-
lations continued for a good while, and,
n day, the mercantile admirer re-
ceived a letter from an intimate %acquaint-
ance in Boston, informing him that his
friend had, some time before. married
an eccentric woman, Mrs. -, who had
the reputation of being several times di-
vorced. This set the admirer to think
ing and tracing out circumstances within
his knowledge. The result was, he dis
covered beyond question that Mrs. ,
the wife of his friend, had, seven years
before, been his own wife, from whom he
had obtained a legal divorce for good and
sufficient reason, six months after their
union. Anxious to corroborate this, he
went to Mrs. , and asked her if it
was not so. She replied in the afirma-
tive, and without hesitation, adding that
she recognized him from the first, but
did not care to impart any information
he did not himself possess. She had
been literally in the divorce business,
having had no less than seven lieges in
II years. She understood the art of
making herself look young, and at five
and-thirty she did not appear more than
five-and-twenty. 1t was the art that had
deceived the friend, and caused him to
regard her as somebody else than her
real self.
