HIS THIRD PUNISHMENT.
n Missionary Who Had Been Unfortrr-
nate With His Wives.

Tho story is told Of missionary
who, as some one remarked, chad been
unfortunate with his wives" This
missionary had married at homo and
taken his wife with him to India.
There after two years, she died. and
the broken-heartcd widowor received
permission from the missionary board
| OF his church to come home.
Here he promptly consolcd himself
and with his second spouse returned
! to the field of his former labor. But
| fate was still unkind, and at the end
| OF year he was OnCC more bcraYed.
| Again he sought the permission O
| his board to return homo, but this
time they gently but firmly declined
saying they did not feel justified in the
| expense OF giving him two holidays
within two years. They suggested,
delicately, however, that if his desire
was to recoup himself for his recent
loss, it was possible for him to dopu-
tize friend to secure for him now
partner of his joys and sorrows. This
he accordingly did, and, after consid-
cradle correspondence and sundry de-
lays, the twice-bereaved widower re-
coived word that the bride selected for
him was on her way to his arms.

Coz. Cothran said it was evidently the
thought Of Mr.. Davis mind to make q
stand at Abbevillc. They were sitting
on the piazza Of the house and as one
after another gave his Judgment
against it and Mr.. Davis realized that
thcro was nothing more that could be
done, that human effort was exhausted
he threw his head back in his chair
and with his handkerchief ovor his
face remained for some moments
in that position where mono but the
Unsccn Eye could see the struggle
going on in his great soul. Some
members of the cabinet were quarter
ed at Col: Il. G. Pcrrin's, the father-in-
law OF Judge COthran, and among
them was Mr.. Ben njamin, the Score
tary OF State. and a number of large
trunks were brought into tho library
and great numbers of important State
papers were burnt in the fire place.
Among other things MIR. BENJAMIN

drew out the Great Seal of the Con.
