The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-05-15
A Strange Story,

That truth is stranger than fiction the
Dubuque Times demonstrates in its
locsl columns. A wealthy couple had
lived together in perfect peace for forty
one years. While sitting in the psrlor
one evening not long ago, the husband
surprised his wife by saying: " l an
going to tell you a secret you never
heard before" There was brief pause
as the lady and near relative who
CHANGED to be present awaited the dis
closure, and the husband continued
" Yes, you will be surprised to hear that
| had another wife before | married you"
Startled and aghast the wife clasped her
hands in suspense, and asked Am l,
then not your lawful wife ~ You are
nv loved and lawful wife," was the
prompt reply; "my first wife died four
wears before came to Dubuque, and
met you" Then the husband related
how he had married his first wife and
been summoned to his home to find her
dead in childbirth. Then he went west
and settled in Dubuque, where the secs
ond romance of his life came about. six
wears ago he bad received 8 letter from
the woman who had nursed his hrst
wife. She wrote that she was on her
desthbed, and could not rest until she
had confessed her share in base crime.
The wife had died. but the son had sur
yiyed, and through q large bride, prof.
fe,ed by the dead wOman's father, the
nurses lips had been sealed and the hus~
band told that the child had died with
its mother. This man, the father-in-
law, was wealthy, but his daughters
death left him without an heir. and he
took this means OF supplying what fate
had denied. With her last breath the
nurse informed her employer that she
had divulged the truth to the gentleman
in dubuque, and Immediately upon her
death the father.in~law went west and
offered q bride. This was refused, but
the secret was kept. The son was mill
honaire in the city of P, and his father
was anxious to see him. The second
wife was thus told the truth for the
first time, and asked to go east and pay
the first wife's son visit. When the
story was told the wife announced in low
tones Since you kept it from me 80
long, l would rather you had never
repeated it." The excitement caused by
the recital proved fatal. In two days the
lady was dead.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-05-15
Mother ShiptOn a Humbug.

A curious superstition has come to
light in Mid Somerset. The laboring
classes in that locality, ike those of most
other rural districts in England, held
sacred certain supposed prophecies of
" Mother Shipton," whose typographical
knowledge must have been little less
marvellous than her insight into the fu-
ture. Of these prophecies the most
widely believed in had reference to the
Gste of Ham Hill, large stone quarry
in the neighbOrhood of Yeovil, and a
prominent feature of the landscape for
miles around. 1t was to the effect that
at twelve o'clock on Good Friday of
1879 Hsm Hill should suddenly be
swallowed up by an earthquake, and
that at the same time Yeovil should be
visited by tremendous food. With
such anxiety was Friday looked forward
to, in consequence, that people actually
left the locality with their families, and
went to stay with their friends in other
parts of the county until the dreaded
" visitation" should be over; others,
whose faith was less robust, nevertheless
thought it advisable to remove their
pots and pans from the shelves of their
cupboards and to stow away their clocks
and looking glasses in places where they
were not likely to be shattered by the
shock of the earthquake; others, again,
gardening operations for day
or two, thinking it mere waste to COM
nit good seed to earth that was likely to
behave so treacherously On the morn
ing of Good Friday itself, large numbers
of people, many of them from a dis
lance, focked to the SPOT, or as near to
the spot as they dared venture, to await,
half incredulous and half in terror, the
stroke of twelve and the fulfllment of
the prophecy. When, however, the
appointed hour had passed, and Ham
hill still stood unabashed, they began to
look sheepishly into each others faces
and to move away.

sequence of the undue importance attached

A serious riot has been going on in

A dispatch from Calcutta saws nearly
a million pilgrims who assembled at the

asserted that of $4,000 persons who went to

This mortality has been csused by the po-

THE SEAS ANSWER.

The pale moon rushed 81 ing the stormy sky,
Nov hid nov SEEN like some belafei bark,
Thst drives among tae breakers, aizllessly,
Their white erests cleaning silver through the
dark.
Pale as the n1oor, beneath the lighthouse cow

TIE silent watcher on the great stone pier;
She saw how black the gathering cloud wrack low

she heard the gae's hoarse waning mutteiing
near;
She felt the kindred tumult in her breast,
With Natures engry mood was prompt to blend /;
Yet the sea answered stilling herJInrest,
The hardest hap comes ever to an end"
Though the great waves roll laundering to the
shore,
And Ger the reel the cruel ssrf-elouds foam,
Though fierce and high the crashing breakers rear,
Between the weary fishermen and home:
The waves CREEP whispering backward from the
Scar,
And as the cottage hearth shows welcome light,
The laden coble leaps the harboT bar,
Ears tEat can hear, hearts thstcan understand,
Nov ocean tel Us, like stauneh old friend,

In silent separ ateilines begin to saline,
The struggling moon her fearful radiance shed
On the grand beauty or the ruined shrine,
From the quay side laugh, snatch of song and call,
Came fttul to the pier upon the breeze,
And, regular as pulses rise and tall,
blOomed the long echo OF the breaking seas,
And still the watcher on the great stone pier
fingered above the eternal waves to bend,
Taking their answer home to hush and cheer,
" The hardest hap comes ever to an end"
