TALK WITH MRS. ROGERS.
In few moments after Mr.. Rogers
left the room he re-entered with his wife
Her appearance was different from what
has been reported. There is no sign OF
gayety or recklessness about her. She
was modestly, but for that section, rich
ly attired. By the light of the lamp
which her husband held before our
faces that we might consult the letters l
, had a good chance to study her. 1t was
a sad and wistful face, weak in its ex-
preston, without defniteness or strength,
and yet very pretty and interesting.
Across its pale surface there flickered
every now and then a strange, wild
look, that had the uncertain flash of in
sanity in it. This look played across
the face at intervals as unconsciously as
summer lightning trembles in the sky
There were large blue eyes that swan in
tears at the slightest agitation, pretti-
ly fashioned mouth that quivered and
broke almost every time the lips were
opened, low, broad forhead, and a
wide sweep abaft the eyes-dark hair
cOmbed back plainly white and full |
throat, on which was cIasped hand
some brooch holding her husbands like |
ness Her figure was unusually delicate
and shapely for a country girl, and show
ed no signs of work.
After the formality of an introduction
| had a long conversation with Mrs.
Rogers in the presence of her husband.
1t would serve no good purpose to re-
peat here the melancholy confession of
jealousy, weakness and delusion which
she related to me in explanation of her
connection with the young mulatto poll
tician. 1t is enough to say that the
story from her own lips fully corrobo-
rated that of her husband and struck
me, as an impartial listener, as being
wholly the truth.
the woman's stories of what Jackson
would tell her. and with what craftiness
he would meet all her protests and bat

and corroborative of each other. If the
story is deception, which 1 consider
impossible, it involved in its coucoction
ingenuity to make each part
1t the other 50 well. This woman could
never have invented the hundredth part
# it. And if it is a monstrOus lie, then,
n less than one month it will tear itself
rom the wOman's heart, else that white,
itifuJ face will be locked in a mad
Ouse or in the grave. 1t will be re-

"N0t if ii Were My Boy"
A SUFFICIENT ANSWER.

Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent American educator,
delivered an address at the opening OF
some reformatOry institution for boys,
during which he remarked that if one
boy were saved from ruin it would pay
for all the cost and care Of establish
ing such an institution as that. After
the exercises had closed, in private
con uvcrSatiOn a gentleman rallied Mr..
Mann upon his statement, and said to
him
did YOU not color that little when
YOU said that all expense. and labor
would be repaid ii it only saved one
boy p
"Not if it were my boy" was the
solemn and convincing answer.
All there is ii wonderful value about
"my boy.' Other boys may be rude
and rough other boys may seem to re-
qure more pains and labor than they
" i'll ever repay; or other boys may be
left to drift uncared for to their ruin,
which ia SO near at hand-but my
boy"-it is worth the toll Of a lifetime
and the lavish wealth Of Il world around
to save him from temporal and eternal
ruin. We would 20 the world round
to save him from peril, and would
hless every hand that was stretched
out TO give him help and welcome.
Aud yet every poor wandering, outcast.
/ homeless man, is one whom some fond
mother called my boy" Every lost
woman, sunken in the depths of sin.
Was somebody's daughter in the days
OF her childish Innocence. To-day
>ouehody's son is hungry outcast,
pressed to the very verge of crime and
sin. To-day someho,i'y daughter is a
weary, helpless wanderer, driven by
necessity into the paths that lead to
death. Shall we shrink from labor,
shall We hesitate at cost. WHEN the
work before lis is the salvation Of a
soul?
Not if it is " my boy" not if we have
+ the love of Him who gave His life to
save the lost.

last winter S ulster, standing meanwhile
at Il safe distance from the bewi'dered

Several oyercoats were brought and
laid down on II bench for his inspection.
He waived the attendants off while he

politely ventured to extricate him. Ap-
preaching from behind, he attempted to

smile lowered around his lips as he ex-
tended his dexter finger in the direction
of the terrified counter.jumper. Il will

And bnttoning his new winter garment

The AsadiphOme.

The telephone was a wonderful ad-
vance in science. and now directly upon
it comes the audiphone, which restores
the sense of hearing to the deaf. 1t is
an instrument which is placed between
the teeth, and the vibrations of air from
sound of any kind. is through that me
dium conveyed tp the auditory nerves.
We cannot enter into full particulars,
but she experiment has been tested in a
deaf and dumb asylum, and the results
were perfectly satisfactory.
The4narch OF science within the last
century has been perfectly stupendous.
The discoveries too have been in favor
of the useful arts. They have simpli-
fed labor, ameliorated the snfferings of
the human race, and it they have not
discovered the secret of longevity, they
have taught many valuable lessons OF
health aud physical wa'l-beiug. Alto
gether the world is wiser and hettsr for
most of these discoveries.
The only dark feature of this i'll
creased wisdom, is that science in its
pride at thus unveiling the secrets of
the universe, seems to ignore the
creative power altogether. The scien-
tist sees no great controlling cause be-
hind the effects which he glorifes and
which he makes his aim in life.
The andiphone and telephone are
great things in their way, but the world
can do better without them than the
belief in God and the Eteinities which
the modern scientists reject. .s.-s-s

The rapid increase in the number of
deaths from diphtheria in the city of
New York is attracting very general at
tention, but the morality there, from
tls friyItful disease, is small, COM
pared to what it is in certain parts of
Russia. More tiian eieEen vast districts
of that country are suffering from the
ravages of this complaint. Grown
people, as we'll as children, are attacked
by it, and the death rate is SO high that
the government has ia ken measures to
search ont the cause of il, and to prevent,
if possible, its further spread. Some
idea Of the proportion of the epidemic
may be gathered from the statement
that in Odessa, since last May, seventy
six, per cent of the children, and in
sebastopool, during the past four
months, over fifty per cent Of the chill
,..en have died Of the disease. In the
VILLAGE of Tamorofka not one child has
escaned a., attack, and only a few have
escaped death. !. I. hundreds of other
