To the Memory of
NErs. ELLEN
J~0RGENSEN.
(Communieated)
On where beneath the skies,
The blue and beaming skies.
So rife with change and death,
That half the weary breath,
Must spend itself in signs
On where can mortals find,
Ease for the troubled mind
The peace that brings sweet rest
Unto the weary breast
The sight that helps the blind ,
1t surely is not here
We only have a tear
To wash away our pain,
And yet there still remain,
The strugg les and the fear.
Oh! then, beneath the skies,
There can no good arise,
That comes not from on High.
1t waits us ever nigh
This good that never dies.

to it's further fate Mr.. Mo1lton, of
his own accord, said that after using it

the memorandum back to me, and he
cautioned me against disclosing, in
any way, that there was difficulty be-

T wondered what was in the old mem

greater certainty. So one day I sud
denly asked Moulton for that memo
randum, and said, "You promised to
return it to me-" He seemed confused
for moment, and said, "Did II"
" Certainly" answered. He replied
that the paper had been destroyed. On
my putting the question again, he said
that that paper was burned up long
ago, and during the next two years, in
various conversations of his own
seeking, he spoke of it as destroyed. [

this had been the result OF her undue
affection for me. [ had o profound
feeling that would bear any blame
and take any punishment if that poor
child could only emerge from this
cloud and be put back into happi-
ness, from which I had been, as l
thought, if not the cause, the occasion
of Withdrawing her. If my own dlugh-
ter had been in similar case, my grief
at her calamity could scarcely have
been greater Moreover, from the an
ger and fury Of Mr.. t., [ Appended
that this charge was made by himaand,
supported by the accusation of his
wife, was to be at once publicly
pressed against me, and If it was, | had
nothing but my simple word OF denial
to interpose against it. In my then
morbid condition Of mind I thought
this charge, although utterly untrue,
might result in great disaster, if not
absolute ruin to the great interests
which were entirely dependent on the
church I had built up.
The book was written; my OWE i'm

and be in some slight degree source
of strength and encouragement to those
who should succeed me, and, above
all, the cause for which I had devoted
my life seemed in peril. 1t seemed to
me that my life-work was to end alb
1uptly, and in disaster, My earnest
desire to avoid public accusation and
the evil which must necessarily flow
from it, AMI which now have resulted
from it, has been one of the leading
motives that must explain my action
during these four years with reference
to this matter. 1t was in such a sore
and distressed condition that Moulton
found me. His manner was kind and
sincere However, he was convinced
that 1 had been seeking Tilton's down
fall: that I was in league with Bowen
against him, and by my advice came

stories IN so far as they concerned her.
This fell like thunderbolt on me.
Gould it be possible that his wife,
whom I regarded as type of moral
goodness, should have made such false

me to her for q confirmation OF his

believe that Moulton went with me to
the door of Tilton's house. The
| housek .eper, the same woman Of
whom Mr.. Tilton had complained,
seemed to have been instructed by
him, for she evidently expected me,
and ushered me at once to Mrs. Til
ton s room. Mrs. Tilton lay upon her
| bed, white as marble, with closed
eyes, as in trance, and with her
hands upon her bosom, pain to palm,
like one in prayer. AS [ look back
upon the picture, it is like some of the
forms carved in marble that / had seen
upon monuments in Europe. She

recognition of my presence. ] sat

long time ! did not 81 'ect, the real
motive OF Mr.. Tilton.
My narration does not represent a
single standpoint only. AS regards my
opinion of Theodore Tilton, it begins
at my cordial intimacy with him in his
earlier career; shows my lamentation
and sorrowful but hopeful affection for
him duling the period Of his initial
wanderlngs from truth and virtue 1t
describes my repentance over evils be-
falling him, of which [ was made to
believe myself the cause, my persever-
ing and friendly, despairing efforts to
save him and his family by any sacri-
fee of myself not absolutely dishonor-
able, and my growing conviction that
his follies and blunders rendered his
recovery impossible. l can now see
that he is, and has been from the be-
ginning of this difficulty, selfish and
reckless schemer, pursuing a plan of
mingled good and hatred, and weaving
misunderstanding, plots and lies. to
WHICH, my own 1uuOCouU WOruS aIlu dCCS,
nay, even my thoughts of kindness to
him have been made to contribute.
These successive views of him must be
kept in view to explain my course
through the last four years. That l
was blind so long as to the real motive
of the intrigue going on around me
was partly due to my own overwhelm-
ing public engagements, partly to ny
complete surrender of this affair and
papers, and questions connected with
it, into the hands of Moultonj who was
intensely confident he could manage it
successfully.
Mr.. Moulton was chary to me of Mr.
Tilton's confidence to him, reporting
to me occasionally in a general way
Mr.. Tilton's words and outbreaks of
passion only as elements of the trouble
which he was able to control, and as
additional proofs Of the wisdom of
giving it to him. His command of the
situation seemed to me at the time
complete, immersed as l was in inces
SAINT cares and dutieS and ONLY too

professed friendship for me. Friend
ship had grown up between us, and
whatever he wished me to do | did
unless it seemed wrong. My conf
dence in him was the only element
that seemed secure in this confusion
of tormenting perplexlties. To him [
wrote freely in this trouble. while l
felt that secret Vaccinations we're
going on around me, and echoes of
the vilest SANDERS concerning me were
heard in unexpected quarters. When
some of my near relations were
set against me, and the tat
tie of crowd of malicious women,
hostile to me on other grounds, was
borne to my ears ; when [ had lost the
last remnant of faith in Theodore or
hope for him when I heard with un-
speakable remorse that everything l
had done to stay his destruction had
made matters worse and worse, and
that my attempt to keep HIM from a
public trial involving such flow OF
scandal as has now been let loose had
been used by him to bring up new
troubles; that his unhappy wife was
under his dictation, signing papers
and recantations, and I know not
what; that, in short, everything was
breaking up, and the destruction from
which l had sought to save his family
was likely to be emptied on other fam
lilies, the church, the community,
with infinite horrors of woe for me
that my own innocence was buried
under heaps of rubbish, and nobody
but my professed friend, even if he
could, still I gave him atleast so much
faith as to maintain, under these terri
BILE trials, the silence which he en-
Joined Not until Mr.. Tilton, having
attempted through Frank Carpenter
to raise money from my friends, openly
assailed me in a letter to Mr.. Bacon,
did l break that silence, save by sim
pie denial of the slanderous rumors
against me year before when on the
appearance of the first open attack
from Mr.. Tilton I Immediately, with
out consulting Mr.. Moulton, called for

I was one of them, and had for Mrs.
Tilton true and honest regard. she
seemed to me an affectionate mother
and dutiful wife, looking up to her
husband as one far above the common
race OF men, and turning to me with
artless familiarity and with entire con
fdence. Childish in appearance, she
was childlike in nature, and would
as soon have misconceived the conf
dence Of the little girls as the unstud-
led affection which she showed me-
Delicate in health, with q cheerful air,
she was boundless in her sympathy for
those IN trouble, and labored beyond
her strength for the poor. She had

ried women's class at the Bethel

her was on my return from Europe, in

my trip to some fifty or more persons,
and to her gave simple brooch of

posing that my presence and influence
was alternating Mrs. Tilton from her
family relations, ! thought on the con-
trary that it was giving her strength,
and encouraging her to hold fast upon

I read it over twice and turned to
Bowen and said: This man is crazy
This is sheer insanity" and other like
words. Mr.. Bowen protested to be
ignorant Of its contents, and L handed
him the letter to read. We at once
fell into conversation about Mr.. Til
ton. He gave me some account of the
reasons why he had reduced him from
the editorship of the Independent to
the subordinate position of contribu-
tor, viz: That Mr.. Tilton's religious
and social views were running the pa
per but he said that as soon as it was
known that he had so far broken with
Tilton there came pouring in upon
him so many stories of Mr.. Tilton's
private life and habits that he was
overwhelmed, and he was now consid-
ering whether he could consistently
retain him in the Brooklyn Union, or
as chief 'ntributor to the Independ-
ent. He narrated the story of the at
fair at Winsted, Conn, some like
stories from the Northwest, and
charges brought against Iilton in his
own office. Without doubt he believed
these allegations, and so did |. The
other facts previously stated to me
seemed corroboration. We conversed
some time, Mr.. Bowen wishing my opin-
ion 1t was frankly given. did not see
how he could maintain the former re-
lations with Mr.. Tilton, the substance
of the full conversation that Tilton's
inordinate vanity, his fatal facility for
laundering, for which he had a genius,
and his ostentatious independence in
his own opinions and general impracti
cableness, would keep the Union at
disagreement with the political patty
for whose service it was published, and
now, added to all the revelations of
these promiscuous immoralities, would
make his connection with either paper
fatal to it's interests. l spoke strongly
