THE DOUBLE LIFE.

The cleverest and wickedest mystery
of human society today is the so-called
double-life. 1t is only unearthed by the
courts and coroners, and this, of itself,
is peculiarly appropriate. since discoy-
cry of the evil has but one wretched
alternative, the penitentiary or the grave.
1t is hard to conceive the sort Of man
that deliberately assumes the fearful
burden of duplicity necessary to success
fully maintain two wives. in two homes;
raise and nurture two sets of children;
work for them, sustain, comfort, teach,
and love them; and carry it all off with
the apparent quality of singleminded-
ness and earnestness inseparable from
the ordinary duty Of paternity.
Such a man is, Of course, abnormal;
this he must be, ever to conceive the
scheme. But his moral irregularity in
no way vouches for mental lapse Of
any degree, for the man who can ae-
complish this feat of dual deviltry, is
anything but insane. He must have
mental poise of the highest order to
maintain the dangerous and delicate
equilibrium of his position. He is warp
ed only in his moral sense, and his will
ingness to do so profound and desperate
a wickedness his whole life through. He
is without parallel for deliberate, con-
scious, cultivated duplieity and passes all
comprehension in human classification.
There is one inseparable conclusion, in
his history, and that is, that from the
moment he begins to indulge his fearful
sin against humanity, he sets up and in
vokes the penalty as well. He is the
unacceptable victim of trepidation, fear
Of discovery, exposure, reprisals; he is
instantly on guard against error of time,
place, people, speech; covertly on the
lookout for signs OF suspicion, everlast-
ingly busy hiding his tracks; adopting
new phases of action and custom and
committing himself to thousands of ex-
traordinary adaptations the common and
decent man never thinks of. His dual
post and privilege is no sinecure. He is
the hardest-driven sconndrel on the face
of the earth, and luckily, one of the
rarest.

PIERCE, THE SoLDIER-POET.

We do not know who this soldier-poet,
Pierce is, that the United States army
authorities are about to court martial
for his temerity in framing and singing
the camp song always in the Way" but
We will bet our office shears to a dog
collar, that he is an ex-newspaper man.
The very adroitness, skill and audacity
of the poem has the touch and talent of
the craft; and if it is so, we are sorrier
for Pierce than ever. He must be a
thorn in the sides Of the snobs or he
would not be put out of the service by
the back-door of court martial. The
army officer as general thing is amen
able to a good thing, and while he may,
for the sake of discipline, frUwn on any
thing that is likely to bring reproach
upon the service he is placable always
and comedies much to the humor and
fame Of the corps, no matter whence it
may come. This being the case, it would
seem that Pierce's offense is oyer.rated
just bit in favor of some super.
sensitive and consoriuous party, who
was, aptly, or inaptly, subjected to ridi-
cule by the use of the funny and popular
air, at some particular juncture.
