It la one anomaly f wou-nu'a. Jialure
ITtalalie can n ver be Innieet with tieN'

I bave sometlmee bad A woman come
to me under th triple cures of destitu
tion, Jealousy, and discord, bearing in
ber face and on ber body tba markaof
conjugal violence, and relating a story
of conjugal cruelty that made my nerve
thrill aod flesh creep, while my heart
would fairly overflow with unfeigned
aorrow aol sympathy ; and I would
listen to ber tale of woe, and plan aome
way to relieve ber suffering, aud that.
too, when my head and bands and heart
were overburdened with my own busi
ness; and after I bad arranged for her
subsistence and fed her tip for a few
days, till she bad forgotten what It waa
to b hungry, I have caught her surrep-
lHliunly aoueeylBg the eubalaiiea I BJ
gathered for ber to her worthless lord,
to enable blm to eat the bread of Idle
ness, even while b waa defaming ber
aod denouncing me, aoeuaing ua both of
every crime In tbe social catalogue..
Again, a woman baa come to m with
berveye blacked from, a drunken bus
baud'a vlolne, and, expressing a ha
tred and fear of her maater that bordered
on rreuty, ao enlisted my sympathy that
I bav recommended her to a plao of
refuge, toly to And her, after a few
days, returned to tbe "vomit" again, con
trol to wallow for another season In' the
mire of -domestic discord. And then,
through some thoughtleaaor goesippiog
neighbor, I bav learned that every ex
pression of disapprobation I bad been
ted by be( story to us concerning ber
husband bad been retailed to him aa tbe
wicked Imagining of my own u Debar-
jiablenese. . ,
"Then," I bear you ask, good reader,
"why do you think It, worth wbll to

Because, I answer, there I hope for

from the love-sick sentimentality gath

Martha Jouee nte Marblebead had got

seen to be appreciated. .
A letter from Major Mai blebead was

It bad been long since sh bad bad a re
