NOT WITHOUT A MORAL.

Tho Story OF Young Girl Who
Married An Actor for His Looks.
From the Louisville Commercial.
In the early part of 1881 Harry Lee,
an actor, played an engagement in this
city, and during his stay here Miss Elite
r. Smith, vivacious young blonde, re-
siding at No. 1926 Green street, fell des
poratcly in love with him. He was a
handsome, dashing young chap, and
more girls besides Miss Elite had been
captivated by his flashing black eyes
and manly form. The more Miss ETH e
saw of pretty Harry, the masher,
tho more desperately she fell in love
with hin. She succeeded in forming his
acquaintance, and Harry, seeing that the
girl was smitten, offered her his hand
and heart. She readily accepted the
proposal, and it was decided that they
should be. married at Pittsburg. Here
they met in February of last year and
were privately married. The girls
and the affair was kept secret from her.
The honeymoon of Mr.. and Mrs. Lee
lasted just three weeks. and at the ex-
piration of this time the base designs of
the heartless actor became apparent.
He informed his bride that, as she was
possessed of more wealth than he was,
She would have to provide a
living for them both. The announce
ment fell like a thunderbolt on
the poor girl, and she asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct. In cold, cruel
words he informed her that he had not
married her with the intention ofsupport-
ing her, and that if she wanted to live
with him she would have to help support
him. He told her that if she did not
care to do this that there were plenty OF
other girls in the country that would,
and that she might as we'll make up her
mind at once to draw on her mothers
bank account or leave him. He laughed
at her when she reminded him Of the
solemn marriage VOWS they had taken,
and told her that the marriage was not a
valid one on account Of his having been
married to her under an assumed name;
that his name was not Harry Lee, but
Harry Oil.
The blow was cruel one TO the young
wife, but she rallied under it, and the
passionate love for him who had so basoly
deceived her was turned to intense hat
red. Her independent spirit rose with
in her, and she left the heartless hus-
band and returned to her mothers
house.
In October last she employed Col
Mare Mundy to procure for her di-
vorce from her alleged husband, and the
petition was accordingly filed. Several
efforts were made to find Lee, but they
all proved futile, and yesterday Judge
Pope granted Mrs. Lee a decree of di-
vorce and restored to her her maiden
name.

The Bursting Of The Monsoon.

The brief message which reached us a
day or two ago from Bombay "the
monsoon has burst" meaning in
(which only those who have lived in
! India can fully understand. On the
regular ''bursting" of the monsoon the
very existence Of The people of India
may be said to depend. But for the
monsoon the whole country would per-
ish under its glaring sun; and during the
early days of June Anglo-lndlans
look anxiously for the brlef
The southwest monsoon sets in gener-
ally toward the end of April, the steady
wind sweeping up from the Indian ocean
and carrying with it dense volumes of
yapor which slowly collect in dark mass
es of clouds as they approach the con-
tinent. From Adams Peak in the Isle
of Spices, right along the eastern and
western Ghauts and the Nilgiris, every
hilltop is gradually shrouded in mist,
instead of standing out clear and
sharp against the sky. Darker
and denser become the
cloud masses; the horizon assumes a
heavy leaden appearance, sometimes
kind1ing into lurid glare-answering to
the sense of oppression, both mental and
physical, which accompanies it. The at
inospbere becomes "close" and eppres-
sive alike to man and beast; but the heat
is borne with patience, for relief is at
hand. Flashes of lightning play from
cloud to cloud, and heavy thunder re-
verberates through the heavens;
the wind suddenly springs
up into a tempest, and along the
shore the white waves are tossed in foam
against the rocks or over the burning
sand. Then few great heavy drops of
rain fall like balls oflead from the appar-
emily lead sky; the forked lightning is
changed to sheets Of light, and suddenly
the food gates of heaven are opened,
and not rain, but sheets of water, are
poured forth, refreshing the
the surface Of the country.
filling the wells and natural reservoirs
with fresh store, and replenishing the
dwindling rivers and streams. The whole
earth seems suddenly recalled to life.
Negotiations may almost be seen to grow,
and from the baked mud of the river
hanks emerge countless fishes, which for
weeks or months before have lain there
in torpor. The phenomena of the burst.
ing of the monsoon are repeated from hill
to hill top, till the whole country, from
Cape Comorin to Bombay and the great
plains beyond is similarly visited. Then
follows period of comparative repose,
during which the welcome rains contin-
ue to jail, with but short intervals, for
three or four months, invigorating and
refreshing all things.

Georges Sand to Her Son,

"Work, be strong, be proud, be indie
pendent. - We resemble each
other in our souls as we'll as in our faces.
I can see now what your intellectual life
is to be. fear profound pain for you,
and hope also for very poor joys. Keep
in yourself the treasure of goodness.
Learn how to give without hesitation, to
lose without regret; learn how to harbor
in your heart the happiness which you
will not have yourself! Keep the hope
of an after life, Of a place where the
mothers will find again their sons. Love
all the creatures of God; orgive all those
who are disgraced; resist the unjust; de-
vote yourself to those who are great by
their virtues. Love me! I. will teach
you many things if we live together. If
we have not that happiness (the greatest
that can imagine, and the only one
will pray God for me; and from the dark
ness of death, if something remains of
me, your mother will watch over you"

Sclf-Care While Nursing the Sick.
From the Christian Union.

Sclf-Care "nlle Nursing the SICK.
From the Christian Union.
10 those who are called upon to nurse
the sick though a long and severe illness,
it is Of the utmost Importance, not only
to themselves but to their patient, that
their own health should be preserved
and their own strength maintained, not
only throughout the critical stage, but
during the period of convalescence, Of
tentimes SO tediously prolonged. 10 all
such VIC submit the following simple
precautions, to aid them in preserving
their own health while attending the
sick:
If the malady of the patient be such
as to cause any marked odor of the
breath or noticeable exhalations from
the skin, take care always to sit on that
side of the bed or sick person which is
opposite to or away from the direction
which the eff1uvia take toward the win
dows or draft of a Fireplace. Sit so that
their breath, etc., is carried away from
you. Do not sit too close to them, or
take their breath if you can avoid it.
TO keep ones own strength IN case
obliged to sit up all night Tor many nights
in succession, great benefit will be
derived from taking warm bath
early in the morning, and putting on
fresh undergarments every second morn
ing; or, if the disease be particularly in
fictitious in its nature, it is best to change
the Undertaking every morning. 1t
will be found that the warm bath, follow
ed by brisk rubbing of the whole body
with a coarse Turkish towel or flesh brush,
will refresh the wearied body almost as
much as sleep. At the, same time keep
up the appetite and strength by small
doses of quinlne, two to five grains three
times day, and nourshing diet, with,
perhaps, a little wine and water OCCASION

How SunStrOke Can Be Cured.
From the Boston Herald.

For an effective cure for sunstroke the
followingis especially commended: Re-
move the patient to shaded spot at
once. Place the body in a sitting post
ure, the back against a wall with the feet
and legs resting upon the sidewalk and
extended in front of the body. Get ice
water and bottle ofsome strong essence
Of ginger. Pour the ice water over the
head, copiously; never mind the clothes.
Then pour two or three tablespoonfuls of
ginger in about half a tumbler of water
and make the patient swallow it quickly.
Keep the head cool by using little of the
ice water. and in case there is not much
Of a glow upon the body give more gin
ger. If the directions are followed there
will be no occasion for the services Of an
undertaken. Ginger is far the best to
use, but where it cannot be had quickly
two or three good drinksof brandy will
answer.
