ELOpED WITH AN OLD LOVE.
An English Girl Fiees From Her Husband
and Then Rspsnts of 1t.

An English Girl FIees From Her Husband
and Then Repsnts of It,
Morning Journal.
Harriet GeDder is charming, viva
cious little English girl. Her age is just
seventeen. She was born in the village
OF Whitney, England, and lived there
until she was about fifteen years of ace.
Then her parents secured her a position
in the dressmaking establishment con-
Quoted by Mrs. Robinson, in the village
of Frodingham, about fifteen miles from
Whitney.
Once week the young girl would pay
visit to her parents in Whitney. She
generally walked the distance, as no
conveyance was handy. 1t was during
one Of these journeys that she became
acquainted with William Gerdely, a
handsome young farmerp who lived in
the village of Holton, about midway be-
tween Whitney and Frodingham. He
generally accompanied her on. her jour
neys, and as he became better acquainted
with her he fell in love with her. Ap.
parently she liked him. Six months ago
Harriets parents both died within a
week. After the burial of her parents
Mrs. Robinson offered her a permanent
home with her. This kind offer she ac-
cepted. The only drawback to her com
| plete happiness was the fact that she
could no more meet Gerdely, whom she
had come to care great deal for.
Finally he passed entirely from her
mind She would have lived in her new
position, but for the attentions of Will
liam Robinson, tie son of the lady whom
she was working for. He said he loved
her and wanted TO die for her. He ap-
peared to feel deeply hurt because she
would not give him chance to die for
her His mother took sides with him
and between them both the poor girl
finally consented to marry young Robin
son. The nuptials were celebrated at the
home of the groom two months ago
About two weeks ago Harriet took
stroll over to Whitney to her new home
for some clothing which had been left to
her by her deceased parents. On the
way she met young Gerdely. 1t was a
year since they parted. When she told
him of her marriage she turned pale.
Then he fell on his knees and implored
her to fly with him. A sudden impulse
caused the girl to accede to his request.
They went to Liverpool. They were
just in time to secure passage on the
steamship Britannia.
BY means of detectives her husband
learned that she had fed to New York.
He at once telegraphed TO Superintend-
ent jackson, of Castle Garden, asking
him to detain the girl on her arrival and
return her to England. When the Brit
annie arrived her on Sunday Detective
Groden was on the pier. lie saw the
pair and recognized them at once. He
arrested the girl and brought her to the
Garden.
After long talk with Superintendent
Jackson the girl repented of her rash
step. She asked to be returned to Eng
land. Her return ticket was procured
for her on the steamship Wyoming, and
she started back Yesterday.
Gerdely, with whom she eloped. has
been a constant visitor at the Garden
He did not know of the change which
had taken place in the girl. He will
probably be very much surprised when
he learns that the young girl has gone
back, as he still believes she is detained
at the Garden.

OBSERVATION ONs THE OYSTER.
A Few Remarks that Demoralized AN As
tonisbed Darkey.


"Are you acquainted with the habits
of the oyster?' inquired a sad-looking
man of b-ight-lookiug darkey, one of
the crew of an oyster smack, lying at
Dock Street Wharf, Yesterday
"Doan know wat yer means by habits,
boss. De oyster am berry quiet. He
doan say nothin'. White man kin kill
an eat i'm raw, an oyster never kick"
The sad searcher after truth shudder-
ed at the idea, but perserveringly asked:
Does the oyster lie quiet when you
pursue him, or does he conceal himself,
or take refuge ir flight?'
The emotions of the darkey oysterman
were almost TOO much for him, bdt he
managed to gasp out:
Great Ceser, boss! oysters hadn't got
no legs. Dey jist lie still and cling to
rocks on de bottom. See dat crabr' said
Sambo, by way ofillustration; "there are
three oysters done stuck last to his she'll
Dey couldn't leabe if dey wanted to and
dat poor crab done gone into de oyster
business spite of hisself."
The sad man, with his eyes on the
crab, backed slowly away.

Mr.. Talmage preached scathing ser

the financial earthquakes in Wall Street
"There are men who gather ffteer
fortunes under their WINGS" said Mr.
Talmage, "but their dismay when thest
fortunes return TO their riehtful owner,
shall be like that of the hen on discov
ering that she has hatched out an aquat

"I'd like to put the ploughshare at the
curb IN front of Trinity Church, and
drive it through this accursed, narrow
unarchitectural way, and not stop till all
the cobble-stones of perdition were
hurled into the river at the ferry"
"Do you want to know what caused
the panic?" screamed Mr.. Talmage. at
is the extravaganza in modern society
that conipels men to spend more money
than they can make. [Applause.1 Some
times the man is to blame, sometimes
his wife. sometimes both are to blame"
Roars of laughter.
There are people in our Cities" re-
sumed Mr.. Talmage, who can hardly
pay their rent and they owe everybody
in their npighborhood moving awav q
with the assistance of a carman whom
they will never pay. There are 5000
such thieves in Brooklyn"
"The finer your horse and the finer
your carriage the better l like you, but
If you're hopelessly in debt for them get
down and walk like the rest of us"
Laughter. at is estimated that there
are 5000 women in New York whose
wearing apparel costs on an average of
over $1,000 year. Why, it's fashionable
now to wipe away the tears that are shed
in church with $3.50 pocket handker-
chief"
"The death of men who are thus ex-
travagant at somebody else's expense"
thundered Mr.. Talmage, ''is grand lar
ceny. They are robbing the undertaken
and the doctor as the doctor as they go
into the coffin; the one of his slipper
and the other Of his pills. Such men
deserve to have their bones go to the
medical museum to pay the expenses of
their burial. And when you think you
are going TO die you send for the minis
ter to post him on what he shall say at
your funeral in lying about your excel
lencies." Applause

ONLY GOING TO THE GATE.

Like bell OF blossoms ringing,
Clear and childish, shrill and sweet,
Floating to the porch shadow,
With the fainter fall OF feet,
Comes the answer softly backward,
Bidding tender watcher wait,
While the baby queen outruns her,
''Only going to the gate"
Through the moonlight warm and scented
Love to beauty breathes sigh,
Always TO depart reluctant,
Loath to speak the words good by:
Then the same low echo answers,
Waiting love of oder date,
And the maiden whispers softly,
"Only going to the gate"
Oh, these gates along our pathway,
What they bar outside and I'M
With the vague outlook beyond them,
Over waves we have not been,
How they stand before, behind us.
Toll gates some. with price to pay;
Spring gates some, that shut forever;
Cloud gates some that melt away.
So we pass them going upward
On our journey, one by one
To the distant shining wicket
Where each traveller goes alone
Where the friends who journey with us
Strangely falter, stop and wait;
Father. mother. child or lover,
only going to the gate"
