A ROMANTIC story comes from New York city,
to the effect that Mrs. Pauline Bergman, a young
German wife, feeling that she must soon
die of consumption, expressed anxiety that her
husband should have good wife to succeed her.
Believing that her younger sister was just the
woman calculated to succeed her, she entered
into written agreement with her husband to
separate by mutual consent, SO that the cere
mony could be performed before Mrs Bergman
left for Germany, she having expressed desire
to go back to the fatherland to die. All parties
consented to the arrangement, when Mrs. Berg
man went with her sister to consult an attorney
to see if their action was legal When told that
it was not, and that her husband could not
marry her sister, she was greatly distressed,
until the sister, bursting into tears, confessed
that she had already been wronged by the man
who was to marry her. The injured wife's affec-
ton instantaneously changed to the bitterest
hatred, as well it might, and sine expressed de-
termination to prosecute him to the extremity.
