Years ago she mar- ried a well-to-do old {ctlow, some yeara her senior, who was engaged ina profitable manufac. tueing bneinces in one of the prettiest little toswns in o neighboring State. Three darling children were born to then, but aren before the advent of the first the partner of her Joys ond sorrows had ceared to love her, ceased to care for her, and had practically deserted her. We, with his ateict onal nees fdeas, looked with open contempt on what he termed hee (bigoted devotion fo the cold-water lumbue; and she, nnwilling to remain @ mere looker-on while thousands tere perishing through the power of the Demon of Strong Drink, would not ahandon her hobby. They harmonized as beantifally as oll and water. Finally, last fall, she cama downto Chicago and papaned fervidly in tuetemporance work and the Tabernacle mect- ings, Sho had thought of GETTING A PIvONcE - before sha telt her village home, and the ‘told man" had os goot as told her to goahcad, She soon had another reaeon for getting a legal separation from one who did not love her. It so happened that she met in one of the daily meetings last win- ter a young man from the East who hm! allowed tho white-vested servants of tho Alcohol Ficud to tan enemy in his mouth to steal away his braina. To be brief about it, ale went to work to reform the young man, and itis as twuch to her credit os his that be has not eyen once one astray since she took bold of him, A’ ve bret again, they fell in love, ale though ashe wis ‘old anongh to bo bis mother, and although neither of them had great, or tren moderate, posscasion. Yet thero wns onoray of hope, The ‘told man” was worth something hke $200,000. He was not averse toa separation. What were the probabilittes abont allmon: 2? She remembered, unfortunately for her, a lawyer in tho pretty village, and throngh him opened negottations with the possessor of the $200,000 and her children, inaking It a9 one of the conditions that she was to have the Sustody. of at Teast ane of heroffspring. The man of law saw tha man of wealth, reported flattering progress, held out hopns af her eccuring at. least $20,000 alimony and the custody of onc of her children, and matters seemed to fake ona promising shape.

NOT RESIGNED. TI INDICTED ON THE WAR-PATIL The coanty contractors and Commissioners who wero indicted the other day are talking about car- rylag the war into Africa, and making things live- jy for tho persous who prosecuted them. It ta hardtotell how far they aro !ncarnest in what they say. Ono would sometimes conclude, from the carnestnera with which they speak, that they were sincere; and at another time would come to tho conclusion that they were simply whistling to keep thelrcourage up.

It is very often tha casa that an Assessor tolls a man to put down his property at a half of ite rea} valuo, insomuch as the Stato Board of Pyunlieetion, will be pretty aptto double it, As forthe vat which ie taken to these porsonal-property lista, it is very much of an empty form, and in most cases no oath at all ls taken, the blanks being. filed np by the Deputy-Asaassor, who writes tn names, doscriptions, and everything elso.
