aseeipg a Man. /" and It's Results.

Not many months ago, in India, "a
gentleman and wife having taken pas
sage for England, went on board with
their baggage. Presently the husband
discovered that there was time Tor him
to go ashore and see man. He went,
he saw, he was conquered; and when it
occurred to him that it was time to go
abroad again, he hailed boatman, and
ere long found himself on board a large
passenger-ship. Itwas night. A sleepy
steward inquired the number of his cab
in, which ne chanced to remember, as
also that his was the upper berth; so he
contrived to chamber into it without dis
turbing his wife, as he supposed, who
slept beneath.
But when dawn broke, and the ship
was well on her way, a feminine voice
was heard shrieking, in a tone of terror,
"Steward, steward! there's man in
my cabinw The wretched man was
aroused, and the situation explained TO
him. He had mistaken the ship. They
were unler Way for Australia, and his
unhappy wife was steaming away TO
England under a firm conviction that he
had been robbed and murdered by ruf.
fans who frequent the quays. When he
at length arrived in Australia, he could
not even there relieve her mind, as the
cable connecting that country with Eu-
rope was not completed, i5 having, in
TACT, only now been working little more
than a year-so that about four months
passed before she heard anything oil
him.
