Come to Their OWN.

Mons. M. BARITONE was 8 wealthy
shipping merchant of New Orleans. He
had been married-his wife died, Ieav--
ing him two children, son and 8
daughter. They were well-grown IN
1859, when their father had become
enamored of beautiful woman, Sarah
Waltz, and married her. The children
did not like their fathers new wsRe,
and would not recognize her as moth
er. To make peace in the family, M.
BARITONE sent his children to school in
New York, and provided literally foa
their maintenance. He lived alone
with his wife, for society had shut iSs
doors against him and her. At the end
of about year he became i'll, and the
doctors did not understand his disease.
He grew worse, and they had a consult
alton. Mrs. BARITONE was her has
bands sole nurse, and would accept nc
aid In the sick room. She nursed and
gave the medicines, and was sleepless
and unremitting in her attentions. The
doctors, in consultation, pronounced
the disease with which M. BARITONE
suffered incurable. Mrs BARITONE
burst into paroxysms of grief. The
next morning she was gone, and also
her jewels, and fine dresses, and large
sum of M. Barthone's money, was gone
with her. She was gone with Hans
Smith, an old lover of hers, across the
sea, as was soon ascertained. The ply
sicians did not at once tell BaKthone Gf
all this, but they thought they haGs
found the key to his illness. They as
certained the nature of the poison upon
which he been feeding, and set about
trying to save him now that his attentive
nurse was gone. They succeeded, and
M. BARITONE got about again., but never
recovered from his treatment ard the.
shock of his family troubles. At length
he closed up his business in New Or
leans, sold his property, and removed
to New York to reioin his cSii-
&ren. He could not. find them.
They had months before left khe
institution in which they wefs
placed, and the managers supposed
they were at home in New Orleans M
BARITONE never more heard word
from his children. He died in BroD&-
lyn in 1864, and left his property 10 his
wife, should she ever appear TO claim
it, and in the hands of the Treasurer OF
the city of Brooklyn, subject 10 Asz-
claim. She never came. Lately the
son and daughter appeared, and gave
an account Of themselves. They had
never known of the residence OF their
father in Brooklyn during bis life. Rae

BARITONE commenced proceedings 81

father left in the hands of the Treasurer
of Brooklyn. They engaged lawyer
and employed detectives to discover
what had become of the runaway wise
of their father. Experts went 80 New
Orleans to work up the case, and 4hey-
did it effectually. The eloping pair
went to Paris and lived in luxury hong
as Barthone's money lasted, then Hams
