How to Keep Ice In the Sick-Room.

For those who have an abundant sup
ply ct ice this may not be matter of
much moment: but for poor people,
who may rarely use ice except in sick
ness, and to whom the expense is not in
significant, the following hints. from an
English source. may be useful: "Cut
a piece Of flannel about nine inches
square, and secure it by ligature
around the mouth of an ordinary tum-
bier, so as to leave a cup-shapcd de-
preston of flannel within the tumblcr
to about half its depth. In the flannel
cup SO constructed pieces Of ice may
be preserved many hours, all the longer
if piece Of flannel from four to five
inches square be used as loose
cover to the ice cup. Cheap flannel with
comparatively open mcshcs, is preferable,
as the water easily drains through it
and the Ice is thus kept dry. When
good flannel with close texture is en-
ployed, small hole must Dc made in
the bottom of the flannel cup; other*ise
it holds the water and facilitates the
melting Of the ice, which is, nevcrthc-
less, preserved much longer than in the
naked cup or tumblcr. In tumblcr con-
tanning a flannel cup, made as above de-
scribcd, of cheap, open flannel, at twcn-
ty cents yard, it took ten hours and
ten minutes to Dissolve two ounces of ice,
whereas in a naked cup under the same
conditions, all the ice was gone in less
than three hours"

Constitutional Convention Called.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 4.-Specials received by
the Courier-J ournal indicate large falling
off in the Democratic vote cast at to-day's
election for State officers and members of
the legislature. The Democratic central
committee estimated the total vote at not
over 200,0O0, q falling off of over $4,000 on
the Tilden- Hayes vote, and over Ii, 900 on the
last gubernatorial vote. In this city alone
the vote falls over 5000. The Republicans
make slight gains in the legislature and de-
feat the speaker of the last House, but the
Democratic majority is still overwhelming
in the general assembly. The call for a con-
stitutional majority in its favor. In this
city, where workingmen elected FIVE of the
seven representatives two years ago, only
Democrats were elected to-day. The Green
hackers cut no figure in the contest.

was still her husband, but never referred to
his strange departure, nor offered her any
means of support. Their conversation Was q
brief one, and they parted without enmity.
Neither had an idea of the plans of the other,
nor asked to know. Tho next that the wife
knew of her husband was learned from Z
newspaper. There she saw that he had been
arrested for leading Fenian riots in Canada,
and was sentenced to be hung. A subse
quent report informed her that bis sentence
was commuted to six years. impris-
onment. During those six years she
retained her love for him aud clung to
the faith that her constancy would eventually
be recognized and appreciated. After the
man was led out from the prison cell he
again became an adventurer and again acci-
dentally met his wife. He said to her,
'What did you think when you saw me sen-
fenced to be hung?" She replied, II sup
posed you would be hung" A short inter
view, in which neither learned the plans of
the other, was the result of the meeting.
And again he was off. After several years
mole they again met, recognized, but passed
by in silence.
Strange as has been the first act in this
comedy of curious actions, the sequel is still
stranger. Last February the wife received
q letter from her cratic husband. in which
ne begged for forgiveness, and asked her to
60 to Washington and live with him. He is
IN the government employ, and she has con-
sented, and will start for her new home in
September.
twenty-five years elapsed between the day
OF the wedding and the receipt of the letter.
During that time she never ceased to love
him and he never commenced to love her.
Neither ever tried to obtain divorce. The
lady is tho picture of health. The man was
a tine looking fellow when he was married,
and had jet black hair. To-day he is much
thinner and his hair is almost white.
AS dream-like and unnatural as all this
may seem, it is asserted to be true by re-
sponsible and highly esteemed lady, whose
relations with the wife gave her the means
OF knowing the full particulars of the extra
ordinary romance.

1iue FEARS.
Milwaukee Wisconsin,
There is now living in this city lady
whose life so far has been filled with more
real romance than are the most delicately
wrought characters of fiction. Twenty five
years ago she was married to man who
like herself, was in humble though respect
able life. Their courtship had been pleasant,
and for aught the lady knows, harmonious
and mutually agreeable. On the day fol-
lowing the wedding, however, the husband
left home without any apparent reason, or
any warning whatever. The wife merely
supposed at the time that business had
called him hence, and that he would
soon return. Days, weeks, months, years
passed before she was aware that she was a
deserted and wronged woman. She heard
nothing from him, but could not entertain
the idea that he was dead, and instinctively
believed that she would again see him. And
just as she became convinced that she was
deserted her martyrdom began. She was
thrown entirely upon her own resources for
subsistence, and they we're simply honest
toll, a living faith in the reward of duty
doing, and great self-sacrificing spirit.
Thus she toiied on, never hearing a word
from her husband for many years, but
till clinging to the strict and self
imposed duty of silent forbearanco. One
day after eight years she accidentally
met him, but he failed to recognize
her. She did not speak to him, but learned
from others that since his departure he lad
led rowing life, and had been into every
State in the Union. Now that she knew be
lived and yet did nothing to aid her in her
battle of life her action toward him. herself
and the world remained unchanged. And
just here she exhibited to great degree her
almost sanitary character, for instead of &C.
cepting any of the numerous and advanta-
geous offers of marriage which sho might
have done, she silently did her every day
work, bearing his name and cherishing the
same affection for him that induced her to
become his wife.
There was then another long time that she
neither saw nor heard from him. But fate
seemed to favor her, and again she met him
by accident. He acted pleased to see her,
told her what he had been doing, that he

tiou
My God: give to thee my heart. but
give to me faith. Without faith there is no

my soul. Ipray, not that Thou shouldst
take away any obstacles in my path, but that
Thou mayest permit me to overcome them.
1pray, not that Thou shouldst disarm my enc

quer myself. Hear, o God, my prayer.
Preserve to my affection those who are dear
to me. Grant them happy days. If Thou
only givcst on this earth certain sum of
JOY, take, o God, my share and bestow it on
the most worthy, and may the most worthy
be my friends. If Thou seekest ve ergeancs
upon man, strike me. Misfortune is con-
verted into happiness by tho sweet thought
that those whom We love are happy. Hap
