A Washington Romance.

In one of the pleasant streets in Wash
ington there lives the fashionable dress
maker of the city. She is patronized by
ladies of high social standing who live
here, or who come here for winter.
This dressmaker belongs to good Mary
land family, one of her uncles having
been Governor of that State. She was
unfortunate in her marriage, for o
coarser man or harder drinker than was
her husband is seldom SEEN I say
"was, for, happily, the poor woman is
finally relieved of her burden, he having
died from a sunstroke last summer This
wretched man has always been terror
to the patrons of the madam, for it was
well understood that in his drunken
RACES he abused his wife shockingly 1t
seemed to be his delight, when he was
about half drunk, to slip away from his
watchful wife and answer the door bell,
ushering in madam's fashionable GUS
toners. He had another pleasant habit
of going among her new customers, who
had not learned his pleasant ways, and
collecting bills due her, give receipt,
and go cheerfully away and get most
horribly drunk.
During Mrs. Hamilton Fish's residence
here she was constant patron of madam
Those who have seen Mrs. Fish will re
member her dignifed manner and refined
face. One day Mrs. Fish went to
madam's to try on dress which she
was having made. She was taken mp
stairs into the pretty dressing room, and
the madam was arranging the folds of
Mrs. Fish's handsome dress, when most
horrible oaths were heard, and heavy,
drunken steps coming in the direction of
the dressing-room. Mrs. Fish knew the
peculiarities of the man of the house,
was frightened nearly to death. What
could she do? She felt that she should
certainly die if she could not hide some
where from this monster, for it was well
understood that he was always armed
with some instrument of death when in
these drunken fits. Mrs. Fish looked
for closet; there was none in the room;
but, happily, she discovered the bed and
with wild plunge she and her new dress
disappeared under it, only to emerge
from her hiding place when the combined
efforts of the family had succeeded in
locking up the drunken brute. Boston

daily visit to pay Miss Allen, book from

So the days went on towards Thanks
giving; other people beside Clara had
heard that sermon which so impressed
her. Mrs. Armstead, whose husband was
the pastor of the church, had taken it to
her own heart; her boy went to school
where Clara was teacher, and liked Miss
King with boyish enthusiasm. His
mother, too, had watched her sad, deli
cate face across the church, and now that
Thanksgiving time drewnear, she thought
of the girl with kindly provision, and
went one Saturday to see her. Clara was
both pleased and surprised, and showed
all her better self. as we all do to genuine
sympathy.
