A Rich Man and Wife at School.

A lady engaged in teaching the :rudi-
mental branches to wealthy people of neg
lected education in New York has been
giving some ofher experience in series Of
articles in the New Y ork Telegram. Among
others taught by her were wealthy
couple, of whom the writer says:
But of all the cases of neglected educa-
ton which we're brought within the range
OF my personal experience, perhaps the
most interesting to me, and the most
touching, was that of a nice and matronly
woman, who appeared at my rooms one
day Utterly blazing with diamonds, with
fifty dollar bonnet Oh her head, and
twenty hundred dollar camel's hair shawl
on her ample shoulders. H., IL. 3.
Though thus overloaded with ,orna-
ment the woman was not really vulgar,
and alter she had talked with me while
really liked her. She made contidant
OF ME at once; she told me her simple
history and her strange position. Four
teen years ago she had been a chamber
maid and her husband had been a private
coaehman, both in the service of the same
family; they had married, and her hus-
band had taken to his old trade of car
penter, and from a carpenter he became a
builder and from builder millionaire.
He was now the owner of one of the finest
houses on avenues, i'm New York, and
his sons and daughters were being educa-
ted at the best schools in the country.
But up to this date he had enjoyed no
spare time to acquire any knowledge save
what was absolutely necessary to his
business, while his wife had remained as
ignorant as at first. Now the loving and
worthy couple began without any false
pride to procure it.
Without further ado, without the
slightest pretense at reserve or mystery,
the worthy couple invited me to call that
very evening. There I met in private
parlor two people waiting for me and
only two-the wealthy builder and his
wife. I found him as frank and as hearty
as I found her, and before that evening
closed had given my joint pupils their
first lesson. They we're docile as babes,
and there was something dramatic in the
contrast between wealth and their ignor-
ance. and something pathetic in the hu-
mility with which those successful world
lings received instruction. They studied
as though they were in country school
house under the eyeof avinage pedagogue
I taught them English grammar princi
pally. also corrected their pronuncia-
ton, and, l trust, improved their spelling
and their penmanship. Above all, l. fiat
ter myself that I won their friendship, for
found them friends worth having.

during their confinement except d little

they kept the candles. The first two.days
they had light, but this went out at the
close Of the second day. They suffered
terribly from thirst. -. ,.--
During the Imprisonment and while
the work of rescue was going on many
prayer meetings were held in the dis
trict and the men commended to the
mercy of God.
1t should not be forgotten as one of the
many incidents connected with the sad
affair that the four men who first escaped
and the poor fellow who was their COM
panion and subsequently suffered death,
when surrounded by water, took, as they
thought, an eternal farewell of each other,

eter, and the men carried on the work on
their hands and knees. So great was the
interest to effect their rescue that a COL
liery owner worth at least 100000 went
down in the train of a collier to lend
helping hand, On Thursday the rescuers
came near enough to communicate with
the entombed. Shouting at the top of
his voice, a miner asked, How many Of
them are you?" The reply came back,

you lived?''
To this answer was made, "By eating
candles. Do make haste" Shortly after
10 O'clock on Friday morning, the goth
nst., it was known that the men would
be brought out alive, and message
which came up to that effect drew forth a
ringing cheer from the excited crowd
around the pit-a cheer which was re-
echoed from one end of the village to the
other. Between two anu three O'clock in
the afternoon the men who had been liv-

day and breathed the free air of the up

when the last man was brought to the

length her hand in his. Still the silence
was maintained. The daughter sat with
her eyes fixed on her father, wondering at
his continued hardness.
After quarter of an hour, Ca very long
period under such circumstances the
sinking woman said, John, goodbye, I
am going"
The old man went for his slate and be-
gan writing something. He handed it to
her. She took it, but turned away, her
face overspread with unuttcrable anguish
A few moments more of silence, then
.gurgling sound was heard. The daugh-
ter fastened to lift her mothers head.
The attempt was useless. Life was eb-
bling rapidly. The old man saw it and
could restrain no longer his tongue. He
said, Susan, I'm sorry for YOU"
There was no sign that she heard

Still no sign. The poor woman was
fast sinking now in death. Tomkins saw
the pallor gathering ever her face. Now,
thoughts of old days rushed through his
mind and he said again, Susan, can I do
anything for you?"
She heard not the inquiry. In the
solemn presence of death the old man
bent over her and cried, "Susan, speak
once more!'
1t was too late. The spirit had gone to
its Maker, and to old Tomkins, alas, re
manned the bitter memory of his rash VOW
and harsh treatment of a frail woman
