Entered, accenting lo the Aet or Congress, In the year 1871, by Sirs. A. J. Ihiniway, In the Office nfthe-librarian of Congress at Washing ton City. CHAPTER XVIIL Passing over such events as usually occur in the lives of travelers by the ocean route to the Atlantic States events which, while they were of great interest to myself and children, would fail to arrest the attention of the gen eral reader I desire now to bring my friends who have pursued me thus far in my history once more to the village of Langdou, the home of Dr. Ann strong and the place where my modi cum of education had been received under his fostering care. My last visit to that place had been made on that awful night when Wil liam Snyder hud become, as 1 in sober truth believed, my own dear husband before God and man. My feelings as I "iiauu inu viuugi; niuy ue imainneu 1 . - T 1 1 . . f it is useless to attempt to describe them f Village, did I say ? Fifty thousand in : habitants liad built-a nourishing city in which I could not recall a single ves , tige of its former rural scenes, liven ' the name of Lnngdon had vanishcd.hc. fore the prors-nCinrojMou Great arteries of railroad lines con- ; verged at a huge and massive pile of ; buildings, and wound their curving lengths across the blooming plain, while panting iron horses came cavorting over the grades, some heading for the massive depot buildings, and others waking wild, wierd echoes in the dreamy distance, bounded by blue lines of clear-limned groves. Prom tho stately steamer where we rode at ease upon the bu.-y river I could see all this, and with my anxious chil dren gathered around me I related tales of anld lamj syne. Ncariirg thwliarf weSiiv aTbowed and slirunken, blear-eyed man, whose trembling limbs and blooming nose be trayed the fell work of the demon in temperance, and whose sallow .face and hollow eyes told well the story that tobacco was his unrelenting master. WliyTnof'icetl him in the din" anil bus tle I could not imagine ; but look as I j would for other objects of interest,! nothing could I see but tho shrunken form of the abject and ragged inebriate. Gracefully the steamer Mid into her proper niches in the dock; crowds of hotel runners performed their usual ridiculous bellowing farce ; locomotives sent forth their warning shrieks from brazen-throated lungs; signal whistles from other steamers answered to our own, and amid the strange confusion we were ushered out into a waiting cab, and ordSrs being given by the doctor. we Avere soon whirling away toward his elegant home, upon a gentle eminence, wnere taste and beauty reigned sole master of the pleasant situation. Again I saw the bent and trembling form of the ragged inebriate who a few moments before had so deeply inter ested me. "Doctor, see!" I exclaimed. "Can you .tell, me .anything of , that man's history?" "I should rather say so !" was the quick reply. "I Hat is your sister Sarah's husband;" and signalling the driver ta stop we reined up alongside the poor, miserable wreck of his early manhood, the man who had promised to love, cherish and protect the sister of my sddeneiChUdhood, -Jlhe beautiful and blooming girl whom my dear mother had always contemplated with such peace and satisfactidn,hwliHeT, the fiery-sister, had been'the-source oMier constant solicitude. -Halloa, Harry!" was the doctor's Hearty greeting. A general introduction was next in order,-and my brother-in-law, in an swer to Dr. Armstrong llcarty Invi tation, took a seat with us in the ve hicle, and we all drove up toother to the doctdVs luxurious home. "ailcr l Mrs. Armstrong was absent on a vi-H to the South, -but the house was S presided over by a matrouly and ant woman, the doctor's daughter, niium x wwm iuiuuuiuereu as the cross anu neavy oatty wiiom I hud nursed in my old-time three yean,' real dence at-the doctor's once frugally aj. pointed House. My brother-in-law came tottering feebly up the marble steps. Garrulous he grew and troublesome. My children shrank back aghast Irom his advances, but for my poor sister's take I tried hard to be agreeable. Seeing our dis corafiturc, Dr. Armstrong proposed to engage a cab and bend tlie babbling in truder home. I resolved to accompany him ijand Icavingyruy - cbildrenLwith cxrcllcntrfriciuls, Ilrbvc with my disgusting relative to the home of my sister, some M!vcn miles away. 'How many children have you, Henry?" . t . 4 , "A dozen or so, I reckon. Sally knows more about it 'an I do." "I heard that some of your sons, my nephews, werc killed, during the late reliollimi " 'J rebellion.1 "Yes, yes, so they was. Sally grieved powerfully over their death, but a woman will do that, you know. 'Pears to me it don't make much difference, no way. The boys might a' growed up in temperate, you know." And then, witli a disgusting egotism and pharisaical sanctity which I have so often noticed in drunkards who are "half seas over" but determined to ap pear sober, he broke forth in a torrent of Invective against drunkenness, add ing that, as for him, he of course "knew when to stop drinking. A glass a man can take once In a while, you know, bu- bu-bu-but a d-d-drunkard's the ni-m-m-meanest work of God." The liquor that tho poor sot had swal lowed just before the steamer landed was doing Its effectual work, and long before we reached my sister's squalid home the drunken wretch was snoring in the bottom of the cab, and I was living in the dreamy and distant past. Many familiar landmarks greeted me, but a pall of sadness settled over all. Finally we drove up in front of my sister's cabin home. A half dozen un kempt and frightened children flocked around the door-way; and my once blooming and beautiful, but now faded and drooping sister came -wearily out to meet us. "With a bound I reached her side, and calling her dear, remembered name, I begged her to recognize her sister, Ju dith Rciil. "Can it be posgible?'? incoherently. "Yes, it is you, Judith dear, but Oh! who ever thought that we would meet like this? "Where's your husband? "Where's your family? How did you come, and when did you leave the Pa cific coast?" "One question at a time, dear Surah," was my only reply. The driver dismounted and helped my intoxicated brother-in-law to arouse himself sufficiently to alight My sis ter's husband made a few staggering at tempts to walk, and then rolled help lessly over on the grass. Poor. Sarah looked so deeply mortified that I has tened on to ilio house, pretending not to further notice the disgusting and loathsome object whom I had once known as a strong and brave and noble fellow, for whom she poor, stricken child ! had staked a woman's all, and lott! My own hard lot ecnled to suddenly grow Ilglit. To devise some plan by which to aid my helpless sister was my foremost thought, but to my tortured mind no ray of help or succor came. .Making our way tnrougu tiio group! of nigged, barefoot children, we entered the wretched abode, and I throw myself giving orders with the air of a sover into the fcame old arm-chair, now bat- clKn- tered much by time and usage, in which M3'i Sallie, you're any tiling but a I had sat to receive my mother's care on ! h-h-hospitablc woman. No su-sup-per that long remembered day when I had planned my sad elopement. Sarah dropped herself upon the floor and buried her face in my lap. "Oh, Judith!" and the wailing, helpless, hopeless cry yet haunts my memory "how long must I endure all this?" I made strong effort to calm my own intense emotion. Gently stroking the thin, silvery locks of w'lieh I had once been so proud, and clawing the sallow, hard and bony hand that once had been so plump and rosy, I spoke cheerfully, assuming a composure and happiness I did not feel. "Pshaw, sister mine ! Cheer up and let's have a good, old-time visit! I came to you because I am in trouble, and I need your help." "God pity you then, for I cannot help myself!" "Well, you can, at least, introduce ine to your children. "What's this one's name? How old's that one? That one looks like our father ! That one is the picture of our mother! Come, dears come to Auntie!" Rut the children were W) shy that our acquaintance pro gressed but slowly. "Tell me, Judith," said my sister, "all aloit our folks in Oregon. Tell me all about mother's death ; all about father's declining years ; what Nettie Is doing; where brother is, and what lias become of John." The long interchange of explanations tliat followed concerning our family being well known to the general reader, I will not repeat The day had passed into the gloam ing, and still we sat engaged In earnest conversation. When itcame my sister's turn to tell her sad story, my own trials paled into insignificance. For a few years after her marriage all had gone well. Then Henry began to gradually grow intemperate, and the habit had rowu upon him until for twenty years his life had been a burden and a terror. Fifteen children had been the result of their unholy union. Two of these had fallen in their country's service on the Southern plains. Another noble boy limi viol.lrnl to the wine-cup, and be- coming a prey to ircnzy, uau um his days iu the State Insane Asylum. Two of the younger children were epl - leptic, and one an imbecile. Two or tlie daughters werc comfortably married and were mothers of sprightly children. Two had died iu infancy, and tlie re maining seven were at iouie, depend ent wholly upon their weak mother's feeble effort for livelihood and educa tion. ' ' I ' ! l nave but oin rn,....i..ii.... ... ..it this," commented the mother, sadly. "I'm too old to curse the world with more such children as my four last helpless ones. The baby that died would never have known anything. I am certain that more than half my children were tne uirect oii spring of a brutal state of Intoxication." "JJutTd see a man' hanged beforcI'd stand that ! so, there I" T said indig nantly. Ah, Judith ! you don't know what you'd do !" was the sorrowful reply. "But I know what I did.'" Then followed a racy recital of my spirited and victorious struggle for the ownership of my own hotly, of which the .sagacious jeailer alrea'dy possesses some knowledge. "But, Judith, you were always firm, self-willed and deflaut." "Not always, dear; but in that respect I wish I always had commanded obe dience. My eldest born my heart's idol would be living now but for her father's lust. And my first wee dar ling, who never saw the light, was his first victim. For many years I was his body slave ; but I conquered ! I only wish that you, long years ago, had done the same." "But you know, Judith, the Bible says that wives must submit to the de sire of their husbands, fconfess that I never couiu see wny so many curses must be heaped on women, but, as the Bible says so, we cannot help ourselves." "Tut, tut! Nonsense! The Bible teaches no such abominable doctrine. If I thought it did " "Hush, Judith! Don't blaspheme! I cannot bear it ! Our, only hope is in a better world. Let us prove worthy or that nope." "But I declare that the Bible does not teach such nonsense, Sarah ! Temper ance, reciprocity, forbearance, charity these are Bible doctrines. The princi pics that you have submitted to are ab ject subjection, inordinate indulgence, misery, death. Don't call these Bible doctrines, for I know thev are no such tilings." "Oh, Judith ! I wish I could have had the benefit of your strong will and in dependence long ago. Mother would have been shocked beyond measure if she had. ever hcardriyou falld like this. But I believe you're right, after all." A shriek in the back kitchen, accom panied by sounds as of some one strug gling for life, attracted us to tho spot, and there upon the floor, with his head and heels drawn backward till they met, his eyes protruding and his tongue al most bitten through. lav mv sister's twelve year old epileptic boy, throw ing Ids' arms, tearing his flesh and frothing at the mouth like a victim of hydrophobia. For -an hour the con vulsion continued, taxing my poor sis ser's ntreugth in her eilbrbj to keep his hands pinioned, until. I had no need to wonder that her elasticity of life and limb was gone. Upon a sort of truckle bed lay a lump of half-iuauiinatc humanity sucking her r-it Iiom.i o...T v.iiin.. i,..!- i :.. .aula. ai4 llJIIUj JlWJtX 111.-. VCI1I hideous contemplation of vacancy My brother-in-law had at length awakened from tho drunkard's sleep, lie came tottering into the kitchen, where confusion reigned, and began yet, and this sister of ours come all the way from the se-sct-tin' sun to visit us? All! if I only'h-had a w-wife that h-had some snap about her ! Kill a chicken and fix up soincthin' good to cat, why don't ye?" Sarah looked up from the floor where the struggling sufl'erer lay with an ap lealing look-that froze my blood. "Never mind, sister dear," I said soothingly. "Don't make extra trou ble on my account. Just make some mubli ; you know I like it." So tlie mush was made, and ourselves and the children maitle nhcarty meal, the worthy head of the family slipping off to sleep, forgetful, for tlte nonce, of Ids high dignity. The children milked the only cow and finished up the necessary chores, and as soon as possible my sister and myself wearily settled ourselves for sleep, looked in cadi other's arms, Just as we had done iu childhood, before care or real trouble came. It must have been tlireo o'clock in the morning when I became conscious that my sister was gently pleading with the brute who, claiming a husband's pre rogative, was expostulating with her in a sulMlued but angry voice. T was so terrified that I thought T should faint, but I lay rigidly still until the fiend's importunities became unbearable. I had noticed a broom-stick on n ledge behind the bedstead before going to sleep, and remembering where it was, I seized it and dealt a blow upon the drunkard's head that sent him reeling to the floor. He staggered off, mutter ing vengeance, but I no longer felt any sense of fear. s "That's" the way to treat "thcruntcn dog ! so, there !" I said vehemently. "Don't, Judith, Don't! He's the father of mj children !" "And ucA children VJ it was on, my tongue to say, but, poor woman, I had "t the heart to further wound her. I ".Sarah clear, you'ro a morbid simple- ton. tan you conscientiously believe that you owe conjugal obedience to a bmte like that?"

The epileptic children seemed in a 1 kind of sympathy with the suflering father fund their convulslonswcfa.frc quent and awfuL For two days and nights I remained at the squalid home, and then, hailing a passing team, took my departure for the city, inwardly resolved to do some dar- Ing'deed to rescue my poor sister. The man upon whose kindness I had depended for the ride gave me many particulars of my sister's history which tho dear, stricken creature, woman-like, had hoped to hide. Their home, poor as it was, had long been mortgaged to the whisky merchants, and execution was to be but little longer stayed. My sister had supported her family, much as our mother had done during her own hard life. But sister's health failed through her many trials. One by one their cat tle, horses, sheep and swine had disap peared in payment for rum, leaving nothing for her to work upon, and the one cow that was left belonged to neighbor, for whom my sister did plain sewing for tho use of her. I reached the doctor's house in a state of mind bordering on despair. The few hundred dollars with which T had left my far western home remained untouched, Dr. Armstrong having man aged to furnish our travelling tickets without a draft upon my means; hut that small sum was all 1 had, and what to do to aid my sister was more than I could divine. I found my children perfectly delight ed with their new quarters. The doctor was only waiting for my return and sanction to apprentice Fred, to a ma chinist. Ben. had already been placed in school, and the girls were learning music. "What's the matter, Judith Bled? You dou't seem satisfied. Have I done anything that doesn't meet with your approbation?" "Oil! doctor.youare too kind! Reinetn ber my early education was the result of your generosity. It is not right for my children to become pensioners upon your bounty." "Judith Bled! If you care a single iota for my peace of mind let me do what I can foryour children. God knows I owe it all and more." Saying this lie turned away, strode heavily adown the marble steps, past tho flashing fountain, through the shrubbery and away over the lawn, with liis head bowed down as if in earnest self-communion. What could all this mean ? Turning back toward the elegant par lors, I for an instant saw a mellow light from which a kindly face with beaming eyes and long white beanl shone forth, and in my soul the memory of that sweet and solemn promise, "I'll ex plain," attuned itself to melody. To be continued.) Fanny Wmoht. Colonel Fornev sjivs: Prominent among my own rec ollections was the versatile Frances "Wright, or Madame Frances d'Anis- mont, still better known as "Fannv i n ;ht," an English woman, who first visited tills country in 1818, 1820 and 1825, and died iu Cincinnati, on the 2d of December, 1852, aged fifty-seven. She excited much comment, by her leveling doctrines and herextravngant language. Uut site had many followers and coad jutors, among them the still living Robert Dale Owen. Tlie well known Amos Gilbert wrote a memoir of her in 1825, three years after her death, enti tled, "The Pioneer Woman, or the clause oi woman's jtignis." sue was u person of itiiinen.se energy and uncom mon versatility. The list of her works Is something unusal. She wrote a trag edy called "Aitorf," in 1810: "Views of hoeiety and Manners iu America," which ran through four editions, and was translated into French, published in 1820, and republished, with alterna tions and additions, iu 1S21 and 1822; v rew xrays in Alliens," being a translation ofu Greek manuscrint found iu Hcrculaiicum, ami a defense of the epicurean pnuosopiiy, published In Iiondon in 1S22, anil republished in Doi ton the same year. These were followed by a course of iKipuiar lectures, spoken iu all the leaning cities north, west and south, and printed ror circulation and running through six editions. She was also the author, in Company with Itobert Dale V .'",' OI Sc,rtam JX'POlar tracts, and in 1S4I Iicr biography was published iu Kugland, including her notes and t- litical letters. I shall always remember tlie effect produced by the lectures of mis liiiieiaiigauie and really gifted woman, as she traveled through Penn sylvania, many years ago. Contro verted and attacked by tlie clergy and tlie pres.", she mantaiued an undaunted front, and persevered to the last. Henry Wanl Jleechcr sa3s in the Cltrirtiun Union of this week: "Tlie Orange societies should parade next year without a banner less or one in scription rubbed out. They should not do it on an implied promise that, if pro tected for once, they will then do it no more. They ought to move through the streets of New York until nobody thinks of molesting them. When that time arrives, it will be an attempt of no public importance whether the annual procession is kept up or not. Dutaslong as a dog wags his tongue against an Orangemen's procession, ora bewildered magistrate forgets his duty toward them, the public good requires their continu ance. If tlie Orangemen of New York do not next year march through the streets of tlie city, they will betray a sacred dut y. By accident they have be come representatives of a principle which lies at the foundation of modern civilization. They do not now represent a spent fact in history, but a living principle. It is not the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland, but tlie question of liberty In New York. Philadelphia turns out a batch of youug doctors every moon to prey upon the ieople. Ono of them settled at Havana, Ills., and hungout his shingle. Tiio first case ho had was a boy, who, while shelling pop-corn, got a kernel in his wind-pipe. Tlie doctor examined the case carefully, looked at the patient's tongue and then told the father of the boy to build up a hot lire. When that was done the doctor told them to take tlie boy and hold over the lire until tlie kernel got hot enough to "ixip out." The old man went up stairs and got Ids shot gun, but whilo ho was loading it tho doctor escaped. Ho bad ft diploma, though, from a Philadelphia college, and said ho had cured lots of cases In that way. TItc Iowa corn crop this year amount to 100,000,000 bushels. will !
