o--o-S
A VERY SAD Casa few nights ago a
eeung man and his wife called at the first
precinct stationhouse. asking for lodging.
they were quite neatly dressed and had an
sppearance of refinement which indicated
shat they had met with sad reverses. The
circumstance was so uncommon that clerl,
furnirs. after accommodating them as
well as his poor quarters will admit, ieIt go
Ynouisitiye as to ask few questions. The
husband was tormely in tolersbly fair cir
Gumstances and when he married had
bright future before him. apparently. The
wife was fair and hopeful and loving, aLd
chat was not long ago. They went TO
Shreveport. where he obtained position
which furnished them ample means tor
present susteGance.
The pes.ilence came, business ceased and
every man was compelled to look out Tor
himself. He had been unable to save any
money, and his natural feeling was TO fly
from disease and death. They managed 70
reach this city, but he could not obtain en-
plovment or money. When all their little
trinkets had been disposed of they had no
other resource, and were compelled to leave
she boarding house. They were on the
street. destitute and homeless-a forlorn
couple. When night came their misery was
doubled. To walk the streets through the
weary hours OF darkness was more than the
weak wife could undertake, and as last
resort the unhappy pair sought temporary
shelter in police prison. AS the poor
woman passed into a repulslve cell thrill
mo sensation shook every fibre in her body.
but she did not faint: one consolation she
had. her husband was near.
At dawn of day they were on the streets
again, hungry. not knowing how to obtain
food. unless they begged for IT, Inc nus
band sought for employment, wiling 10 Try
any task that would furnish them with
money 10 procure necessities. He met WITH
no success, and at night they returned 10
the prison, but, through all their adversely,
they attempted to keep up their spirits.
Yesterday the man obtained a few hours
work on the levee, and no sooner was the
pay in his hand than he sought his patient
wife, who was waiting for HIM in Lafayette
square, and that unfortunate couple ence
more reveled in the luxury of meal earned
by the sweat of his manly brow. He de-
serves better fate, and obtaining it, his
steadfast wife will share it with him.
