A STORY OF WRONG iRELATED ON A
DEATH BED.

A STORY OF WRONG RELATED ON A
DEATH BED.
[ knew gentleman who married a
sweet and lovely girl. She was very
devoted to him, and when she discov-
cred his dissipated habits she endeav
ored to shield him. When he stayed
out at night, she would send the serv
ants to bed, while she waited and
watched for him; and then, in her
night-dress, and pair of slippers on
her feet, she would glide down very
gently and let him in. One night he
came home late. The servants were in
bed The house had a front door; then
a marble vestibule, and then an inner
door. She opened the one, stepped
upon the cold marble, and opened the
outer door The drunken husband
entered, seized her by the shoulders,
swung her round, opened the inner
door, quickly, passed through, and
locked it before his wife could enter
She would not speak or cry out, lest
she should disgrace her husband be-
fore the servants. In the morning she
was found with her night-dress drawn
under her feet, crouching in the corner
almost chilled to death. On her death
bed she told her father all about 1T, or
the circumstances would never have
been known. There is much that is
never known, as well as vast amount
of misery and degradation that does
crop out, and which is startling in its
reality.-JOhn b. Cough.
