And my husband-people said it had
been love match; to be sure we were
both rich, but any woman could afford
to love Robert Morton for himself alone.
Handsome, aristocratic, wealthy, a cul-
tivated gentleman in every sense of the
word; and yet we had drifted apart;
and now we seldom saw each other ex-
cept when we entertained at home.

that Robert looked little worn and

Never mind, through Lent I would
try to get acquainted with my chill
dren and win Robert back to my side;
and with sigh left the conservatory,
where the Easter lilies, just budding,
had started this train of thought, and
went slowly up the broad stairs to my
boudoir. My maid was waiting to

stretched from floor to ceiling, looked
with curiosity at the figure before me.
The green and pink brocade of my
court train lay in shimmering folds
far behind ne; priceless Duchesse lace
draped the front of the gown, and was
caught here and there by a diamond
star. The shoulders and arms were
quite bare but for the diamond neck
lace that clasped the rounded throat.
The proudly poised head, with dark.
satiny braids, and the face, with its soft
black eyes, were very beautiful, they told
me; but ! saw the discontented droop

moment in the conservatory, waiting
for my escort to bring an ice. while
two gentlemen on the other side of the

TURIN, March 21.-Louis Kossuth

Lent passed very differently than I
had expected. Every moment was
filed to overfowing, but I sang gayly
over my work, and Robert and felt
as if we were living our honeymoon
over again.
OF course there were many annoy.
ances, direct cuts from people who had
been glad to be entertained by us in
our prosperity, and, harder still to
bear, patronage from persons who had
been only acquaintance. not friends.
Yet there was the happiness of finding
we had made real friends; thoughtful
kindness that touched our hearts. For
If adversely shows us our enemies, it
also shows us our friends.
We had decided to leave New York,
go to the pretty town of Rushford and
live in the little cottage that was left
us. Robert would start in business
with the money my diamonds had
brought. 1t was almost without a
paug that 1 saw my beautiful home
dismantled, and the week before Easter
found us safe in our new habitation.
Some of our plainest furniture was
brought from our city home, and never
did room look prettier to me than did
my tiny parlor with its gray carpet and
dotted muslin curtains, and when my
godfather sent me as present the lit
tie piano that had stood in my boudoir,
believe it made me happier than any
thing that had ever been given me.
Easter proved a beautiful day, SO
Rober. and I, with our two little ones,
went to the quaint old church. How
different it all seemed. The bright
sunlight streaming through the win
dows, and the only decoration was the
bunch of violets on the desk. The con-
gregation of true and earnest people
sang as If their hearts were in tho
hymn; the minister prayed as if he
were having a talk with a loved friend,
and the sermon was the plain and SIM
pie gospel of the Christ who is indeed
risen.
As my little girl crept close to mo
and laid her golden head, with a con-
fiding gesture, against my arm, my
heart overfowed with thankfulness
that at last knew the joys of wife and
motherhood. and was no longer -
soulless doll"
That evening, as we sat around our
cheerful hearth, my husband, bending
to kiss me, said:
"Ah, Margaret, this Easter, although
without lilies, has been the truest Sab
bath of our ives!"-Agnes w. McClel-
land, in Good Housekee ping.

Reading the LlOS.

The deaf struggle against their lesser
infirmity; the deaf and dumb overcome
their greater inirmity. A young wo-
man was met not long ago who spoke
fluency in an agreeable voice, and one
not more monotonous than is sometimes
encountered among other people. The
unusual air of attention that was nee
essary to read the lips added to the
attractiveness of her person. Mrs
Graham Bell, the wife of the inventor
of the Bell telephone. is often met in
Washington society. and gives no trace
of the afliction which Prof Bell taught
her to overcome. There is prominent
society woman in Boston who reads lips
so readily that, looking across an opera
house through her opera glasses. she
saw a young man propose. and was con-
sequently prepared for the announce
ment of the engagement Another wo-
man skilled in lip reading says that her
breast is sort Of safe deposit COM

JUDICIAL TORTURE IN 1859.

Forms of Barbarian Still Extaut Last
Century.
Two separate forms are pictured by
life-size scale drawings; one sort was
legal in Austria and one in Bohemia
1t is strong little wise, seven inches
long, of two fat iron bars connected
by screw bolts The thumbs are to be
inserted to the first joint, and the inner
surfaces are armed with toothlike
points. While the questions are asked
one servant helps hold the wise and
turn the nuts with wrench and key,
while another clasps the victim tight
around the body to prevent contortions.
A third may or may not be employed to
increase the pain by hammering on the
wise. The picture of this scene is very
effectively drawn. The conflict of
tim and the iron hearted bailiffs is fear
full to witness. The judge is in no hur-
ry; he gives the wrench an additional
turn now and then till the very bones
are crushed. and the clerk can tri-
umphantly write down the confession
of guilt.
One form of torture, which is now
seldom heard of, was the cord (fdicula).
Its exact size and use are fully pictured.
The arms of the accused are stretched
forward with the palms together. A
strong rope, like sash-cord is looped up
on the wrist, then wound tightly
round both arms to the elbows,
cutting deep into the flesh and
| tending to break the elbow joints
This was regarded more terrible than
the thumb stocks This was the Bo-
hemian method; but another form was
prescribed for Austria equally effective
and ingenious.
The famous rack was of great utility
in the discovery of the truth" 1t
was called equuleus. or little horse, by
the Austrian as we'll as the Roman
jurists- Four full-page engravings de-
pict the exact form, size, mechanical
construction, and practical use of this
machine 1t is wide ladder of two
strong poles with many rounds, and is
fixed in a slauting position from the
stone floor to the dungeon wall The
culprit must climb to the upper part
and sit down; his wrists previously
bound behind his back, are tied to tho
fifth round. His feet are bound with
rope, which is drawn down by a
windlass attached to the base of the
ladder. AS he is pulled downward his
arms are twisted upward behind him.

suit was complete dislocation of the
