THE DAILil EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER G, 1867. 6 TUB WEEK OF INDIAN SUMMER. Th earth now rest from all her fruKful works; Her gelden week of Indian Botntaer glows O'er H the land tbe Babbatb. of the yew. The inn sUnts low along the Southern sky. The fine gold f his Bummer beams grow dim. The elouds no longer heave their Alp-like forms, ' But thinly o'er the pale-blue heavens spread. Ver riewless, Western verge the thickening bate . , Tours slowly In the atmosphere of dreams. The bills, upon whose russet slopes now lie The latticed shadows of the leafless woods, Afar In cloudlike masBes melt away. The winding stream Autumnal rains have filled Through woodland, glade, and rural homes, and roads, Through fields all brown, and Winter-durlng green, Moves slowly on, in gleams from curve to curve Like languid openings of a dreamy eye. Save mo filed echoes of the distant gun, And interrupted peck of bird on limb And hollow trunk, a buzz of blundering bee, Ho sound disturbs the deep repose of earth. From height to height the crow flies heavily; And o'er the valley's gulf of wavering haze The hawk, slow scanning farm and field below, In dreamy circles floats. Against this steep And wood-browed hill, the warm and mellow air, As from the wind Bwnn curtains of a tent, Beats fitfully. A pale and shimmering light A last sweet smile, as of a dying saint 1'lajs softly o'er the wan and quiet earth. IN'or hills, nor woods, nor fields, though bare and brown, Are sad, but all rejoice in works well done. The leaves have builded for their raoe of trees Tbe measure of a genial Summer's growth, And at their feet are mingling with the dust. The orchard-trees droop low relaxed limbs, Unstiffened yet against the Wintry storm October winds have sown the wingCd seed Of weed and flower; and by the streamlet's marge The golden rod still bends o'er aster blue, But bloom and glory's gone, by beat and chill Of dark October rains. As once of eld "God saw that it was good," and took His rest, So year by year, through Nature's work, lie does The same, and in some week of warmth and light J5arth dreams her fruitful Summer o'er again, And rests in peace as of a day of heaven. llouri at llome. A SINGULAR DOMESTIC DISTORT. A "Wife Becomes a, Daughter. Dr. 0. W. Wight, of Indiana, the author and translator, who has lately figured in the papers for getting a divorce from his wife on acrount of ill-health, and marrying another woman, while his wife officiated as bridesmaid, writes a long defense of himself to the Chioago . Tribune, and gives a chapter of domestic his tory more singular than ever before narrated in fact or fiction. We give the essential parts of the letter, without attempting to pass judg ment upon the case. After stating that he was married in May, 1854, immediately after his return from a stay of some years in Europe, the marriage being hastened by the death of the bride's mother, her only relative; that the marriage had been put oil' from time to time on account of the lady's health, the disease being represented to him as hysteria, Dr. Wight proceeds: "Almost immediately after our marriage we embarked for Europe. The steamer duly landed at Liverpool, and we went directly to the famous 'Lake District of England.' About a montn atter our marriage sue was one day, at Keswick, stricken down at my feet in a fit of epilepsy. Attack followed attack, until she had seventeen in the course of the night. I etood alone by her bedside, amazed, be wildered, becrushed, turning grey ere the sun rose, ller fearful disease (bo fearful, as Dr. Watson sajs, that 'the beasts of the field flee in terror at the characteristic cry of one seizI with it') had been concealed from me. Yet I am publicly accused of having put away one who was 'in good health at the time of her marriage,' simply because she had beoome an invalid on my hands. If her parents had been living, I should have taken her home to them, and never should have seen her again in this world, Hut she was an orphan and alone. Bhe had not been to blame. That terrible night, on bended knees, before God Almighty, I adopted her as my child. Never has a word of reproach to her, on account of the conceal ment, escaped my lips. From that hour to this I have been an affectionate parent to her ('lather and mother in one as she has a thoa candtimes, with gushing tears, expressed), and during many of the intervening years I have been the sole nurse to her, patiently, ncomplainly, tenderly performing for her offices that no money could procure. I wandered over Europe nearly four years, taking my patient and ward to many emi nent physicians, hoping against hope that perchance her disease might be cured. It had existed from Infancy. Every physician and ta you, my brethren of the regular profession, I apeal aa witnesses of the truth of my asser tion in regard to the disease knows how in surable a long-standing case of epilepsy is, how it unfits for the pursuits and active duties of life. Besides, as every eduoated physiolo gist understands, it is very likely to be trans mitted to offspring. With a knowledge of this foot, none but a brute and godless wretoh would incur the responsibility of being the author of those who might inherit this fearful malady." Finally, returning from Europe, Dr. Wight Bought to establish a home and to oonoeal the ral natnre of his wire's disease from his friends, and for some years took the chief care f her, more than twenty women having been tried as nurses or housekeepers, not one of Whom would do. At length a lady who had known Dr. Wight from his youth, a lady in telligent, eduoated, and refined, oame to spend the summer with him. Khe won the confi dence and sympathy of his patient and reduced the thaoa of his house to order, and the Doctor Bought relief in literature. This lasted for two "Tears, and then the story eoea on- "An efficient friend could not always re main with us. My nominal wife, my epi leptio ward, could not bear to part with 'Aunt Kate,' as she familiarly and aQoetionately called her. A recurrence to the old method of housekeeping was an impossibility. Board ing was attended with the same diflkmltiHs. Two persons were necessary for the care of an cpileptio who could never be left safuly alone, except for some Lours on partiuular djs. My friends coming to know the situa tion, advised an asylum. My heart revolted gainst that, as it still revolts against it, although I have had, for a long time, an arrangement with a noble friend of mine, the Lonoisd head of a New England asylum, to take her, in case of my death, or some im perative necessity. A new plan was proposed by my patient herself, at first In jest, then in earnest. The nominal tie between us should be severed, and then she might have two instead of one to tak eare of her. J) will h laid that wife ooihl uk9 sneh a proposition. Verity no wife eould. Let it be remembered that she was a wife only in name; in reality, an adopted child. Bhe had come to retard it aa religiously wrong to think of fulfilling the relations of wife in her condition, fcihe ardently desired to be, released from the responsibilities of a station she could not fill. When asked by me, with the ulte rior object of divorce in view, to assume the place required of her by the external bond of our union, she revolted, declaring she should never live with me again, and remained ex tremely unhappy till she discovered my true meaning. A simple attestation of this atti tude on her part satisfied the letter of the law. There was no witness against her, except in the technical sense of the courta. The testi mony, as seen from the point of view of our real life, was for her, and as she wished it. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, was told by the only one that had the secret of our hearts. That truth satisfied the law's letter, while its just and pure spirit was satisfied by the purity of our aims. "in orJer, however, to Ratisfy some scruples of conscience, we made a first attempt to pro cure a divorce on the naked merits of the case, uncicr mat clause in trie Indiana law giving to the Judge power to releaae from the bonds of matrimony when, in his opinion, it is best for an parlies concerned. 1 he cause of our failure is not a matter of public interest. We suc ceeded elsewhere. Two months after the dU vorce was procured I married again. The di vorced wife stood by our side with her attorney during the ceremony, not to act as bridesmaid, as the attack has it, but to signify her appro bation in the strongest mauuer. The marriage was 'private,' in our own rooms. As the ciwrgymau pronounced the last words of the service, she said in a clear firm tone, 'It is all just as I want it.' The marriace was solemnized in the presence of a dozen Christian men and women, representatives of some of the best families in the city, who would not sauction a 'queer,' much less an iniquitous thiug. The clergyman, pastor of one of the leading churches in the place, who had performed the ceremony, had lived in rooms adjoining oun all winter, and knew us well. He would not have married parties compelling (as it was intimated) 'this divorced wife to stand beside the woman who was to usurp her place.' 'The curse and blight of the Almighty' is called down 'to avenge the wrongs of this wretched woman.' The wretched woman has not been so happy (till our peaceful domestic circle was invaded by this attack) in a dozen years, as she has been since that hour when bhe 'btood there like a living corpse.' "At the close of the ceremony myself and wife adopted the former wife in the most solemn, religious manner, p'romissing to keep her with us, to care for, cherish, and support her, 'as long as she is spared to us, as we hope for judgment at the mercy-seat.' That adoption is in the form of a document, signed by us, witnessed by those present at the cere mony, and left in the bauds of a distinguished clergyman, open at all times to all right minded persons for inspection. Before our marriage we signed legal bonds binding our selves in heavy penalties to the same effect; these bonds are in the hands of our attorney, where they will remain, and may he seen by properly intentioned people. It ha3 been pub licly reported that I have squandered for her a large fortune. It is false. IS he had au income when she was married, thirteen years ago, of $l(iliO. She now has enough, from property and bonds in her own right and name, to se cure her against all contingencies. "As to the foul allusions to the physical uses of marriage, I pass them over in sorrow, not in anger. We here 'see through a glass daikly.' The medium through which one beholds things is colored by the hues of his own soul. The life of the world, as It appears to the vision of each of us, necessarily takes this tint of the observer's spirit. I thank God that I and mine can see all around us pure Christian men and women, whose bodies are fit temples for the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. "Thus, with the Maker of heaven and earth looking into my heart, have I written the simple truth in regard to this matter. If tho world, with exact knowledge of the faot3, blames me, I shall bear it meekly, hopefully." FURS. 1867. FALL AND WINTER. 1867." FUR HOUSE. (Established In 1018.)
