i HIS tHIVALHIC AM) HOM ANTIC AFFKCTTOX
! FOR HIS WIFE THROIT.H A I.I. THF.
CHANGES OF HIS CAREEn.
i Colonel John DoihOsoii, a wealthy ami en-
: terprisinj; Virginia surveyor and father of
; Mrs. Jackson, emigrated to Tennessee with
' his family ahout the year 1780. He descend
; edthe Hudson River to the Tennessee, thence
down the Tennessee to the Ohio, up the Ohio
to the Cumberland, and up the Cumberland
j to the vicinity of Xashville, where he fixed
his home. It was a voyage of 2,000 miles and
i attended with much ml vent tire and peril,
j His daughter, Rachel, then a girl of ten or
; twelve years, shared its dangers as well as
I the dangers of her father's settlement in a
country infested hy murderous savages,
' where children could not go a blackberrying
' without an armed escort. Under such cir
cumstances she grew to be a bold, handsome,
' engaging, but, from lack of oppoituuity, un
; educated woman. Her father's fortunes
rapidly increased under thrifty and wise
management until he came to lie regarded as
the richcfct man in that part of Tennessee, so
that the hand of his vivacious and winsome
, daughter was deemed an inestimable prize,
: and she therefore had many suitors. Dur
ing a temporary residence in Kentucky she
, made the acquaintance of Captain Lewis
. Robardsj, a gentleman of good appearance
; and respectable family A mutual attach
ment sprang ap and marriage whs the conse
; nter.ee. It proved unfortunato. The hus
' band was of a morose, suspicious nature,
while the wife, who had been greatly in
dulged from childhood, was lively, gay, eon
tiding and too much inclined to innocent eo
; quetryperhapstopleasoaspou.se of such a
' disposition. He grew uneasy about the at
tention she admitted from a Mr. Fey ton
Short, a lawyer, and highly accomplished,
for whose society living under the same
roof, as it happened she seemed (to Rob
ards) to have taken a fancy. The free, high
i spirited, but most virtuous woman that she
. was, naturally resented this feeling on the
' part of her husband, and, detecting his es
pionage upon her conduct which hail misled
him into snspi'-iou, wit': the willfulness of
! her sex she continued to receive Mr. Short's
civilities until Robards was enraged beyond
decency, and their frequent quarrels were a
matter of general remark. A separation be
came inevitable, and Mrs. Robards prepared
to return to her mother in Tennessee, her
father having recently been killed by the In
dians. Short was on his way to Virginia
upon, business and heard this. lie very im
properly a.Klressed Mrs. Robards a letter,
condoling with her iu her trouble, avowing
his affection for her and suggesting that she
apply for a divorce, and if the suit was suc
cessful proposing to marry her and remove
to the Spanish fetllement on the Lower Mis
sissippi, where he had .some interests. This
letter, which was confidentially intrusted to
a friend to be delivered to her, by some acci
dent fell into the hands of her hunband, and
he immediately started in pursuit of Short.
He did not overtake him until he reached
Richmond, Va. Short denied any guilt
whatever on the part of Mrs. Robards (as he
did to his dying dav), admitted the folly of
his letter and that he alone was to blame,
and expressed his willinrness to fight Itob-
! ards if that was his object. A compromise
i was effected, by which Short, to avoid scan
i dal, and to save the woman he had injured
' by his imprudence, further harm, paid to
! Robards the sum of Jl,00, and thus appeased
; his jealous anger. This transaction, which
' is well authenticated, fairly illustrates iob
j ard's character.
' Mrs. Robards in the meant ime had sent for
j her brother, Captain Samuel Donelson, and
: under his protection was taken to her mot Iter.
J She retained until the last the respect and
; love of her husband's mother, with whom
;' they lived at the time of the separation, and
j who used all her persuasion to prevent it,
i and they parted with mutual embraces and
j tears.
j Robards, on his return home from Virginia,
! was, after some time, convinced that he had
j wroaged his young wife and sought a reeon
I cllia'ion, visiting her in Tennessee for that
j purpose. Trusting in the sincerity of his
j admissions and repentance she consented to
i live with him again, but made it a condition
that he should purchase land in the neigh
' borhood of her mother and reside there. To
J this lie agreed, but several months elapsed
before arrangements for a separate establish
! ment could be completed, they in the interim
: making their home with Mrs. Donelson.
At the time there were boarding with this
lady two young attorneys, Andrew Jackson
.John Overton. The latter had read law
at. Ilarrodsburg, Ky., and lived with the se
nior Mrs. Robards. lie there made the a
fi'ja;tarc? !f hr dr.ogr-;r !, ard
his removal to Nashville this acquaintance
enabled him to find a home with Mrs. Don
elson. He introduced Jackson to her, who,
too, was received as a boarder. They occu
pied a small cabin to themselves, taking
their meals at the family table. Their pres
ence was felt necessary in those perilous
times on account of danger from the Indians,
who were constantly committing depreda
tions in the neighborhood. On Mrs. Rob
ard's arrival her condition, of course, became
known to them both. Overton had already
been aware of it, and both deeply sympa
thized with her. Jackson, who w as chivalrous
in his deportment towards women, paid her
the most polite attentions. When reunited
with her husband hu congratulated her upon
the prospect of restored domestic happiness,
and without dreaming of disturbing it, con
tinued as polite in his duty to her as before.
This excited again, the jealousy of her un
principled husband, and all the former bit
terness between them was reviTed. Jack
son heard of it, sought an interview with
Robards and expostulated with him upon
his conduct. An angry altercation ensued,
which ended by Jackson threatening to cut
Robards's ears off should he ever mention
his name in any disreputable connection with
that of his wife, and he sought quarters else-
i where. After this the parties lived very
I wretchedly together for several months and
! until Mrs. Robards was informed of the set-
tlement her husband had made with Short
j in Virginia, by which he had accepted money
I from the former, as already related, in com
i pensation for his (supposed) damaged hon
or. At this Iter indignation knew no bounds
anil she at once resolved to separate from
him absolutely and forever. This resolution
was duly made known to him, and he re
turned to Kentucky, lie applied to the Leg-
j islatureof Virginia (of which Kentucky was
j then a part) for a divorce on the ground of
I abandonment, the authority for granting di
j vorces then residing in the Legislature.
This application was not resisted, and the
report reached Tennesee aud was univei sally
credited that a divorce had been granted.
The Donelson family and friends certainly I
; fully believed It. i
In the spring of ITl'l Mrs. Robards, in
! company with some friends, visited Natchez,
descending the riveroua flat boat. Jackson
: was of the party. It was either during his j
absence or immediately upon his return to j
j Nashville that he heard of" the divorce. He j
decided to marry Mrs. Robards if she would j
! have him, consulting with her family in ad
I valine and obtaining her consent and np- '
' proval. With this purpose he again visited j
Natchez. 1 1 is suit was at first declined, and
it required three months' assiduous courtship
j before Jackson could obtain the fair lady's i
1 consent to their union.
1 After living together iu the marriage rela- ;
! tion most happily for a couple of years, j
! Jackson industriously practicing his profes- j
j sion and rising rapidly in distinction, was i
I surprised to learn that no divorce had been '
; granted by the Legislature of Virginia, but '
j only an act passed empowering the Court of
! Mercer county, Ky., where Robards lived, i
to impanel a jury to try the case and grant i
1 the petition upon legal proof. This Robards
; had delayed doing until after Jackson's in- i
j termarriagi; with his wife and when he him- .
' self had formed a marital engagement which
' he desired to consummate. So he brought ;
suit, as authorized, in the Merer l Court on
' the ground of Mrs. Robards living with one
; Andrew Jackson, and on that ground ob
! tained it, '
In the winter of 17'Ji Mr. Jackson was
! again married to Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Hays ;
and a Miss Royd anil some others of the
family were present.
The General was devotedly attached to his '
j wife. I find frequent allusion to her in Ids
i correspondence, always evincing anxiety for :
; her health, comfort and happiness. The '
I most stately, the most courtly of gentlemen, '
j accustomed for many years to the best soci- :
j ety, and polished in his manners to a degree :
which attracted the attention of thorough-
! bred people from abroad ; his little homespun '
I wife managing her household affairs, her
kitchen, her dairy, her slaves ; familiar with j
; and kind to the highest and lowest, the most '
hospitable of women, even tendering her ,
pipe to a guest as a token of her hospitality;
rude, unpolished and unlettered, but faith-
fit!, tender and true, she was to him the dear
est of human creatures. I
"I knew Mrs. Jackson well," once re
marked General William O. Iiutler, "aud she :
was one of the best of women. Certainly a
kinder-hearted soul never lived. It was in
teresting to observe the General when she j
was in his company. His eyes were con- i
stantiy upon her, ami he seemed to anticipate :
her every wish. "
Mrs. Jackson died very suddenly of heart i
disease shortly after the General's election
to the rresidency. This ailment had been
aggravated by the cruel aspersions of her
I chaiacter in the newspapers and the flaming
: indignation of the Genera! in consequence,
chafing for, but denied as he was the oppor-
tunity of avenging her. Mie was frequently
I seen weeping
on this account. She had
; never desired the General s candidacy.
i When informed of his election she simply re-
marked : "Well, for Mr. Jackson's sake I
i am glad of it, but for myself I am not."
Her death occurred tn December, 1828.
: She was attending her domestic duties as
j usual, apparently in tolerable health, when
she suddenly utteted aloud shriek, placed
her hand upon her bosom and sunk fainting
j and struggling for breath into a chair. The
j General, who was in an adjoining field, was
! summoned and servants were despatched for
! medical assistance He had long appre
j bended such an attack and was greatly agi-
tated. Until her death, four days aftei
j wards, he was constantly at her bedside. On
! the evening of the second day of her illness
i she apjeared to be better, and insisted that
the General should lie down, but lie refused,
i Two more da-s of suffering and anxiety suc
I reeded, he remaining with her still, her
, watchful and agonized attendant. A further
i change for the better and her tender protes
tations that lie should take a little rest at
length induced him to retire to an adjoining
room. He had only partially disrobed when
he heard her utter a long, inarticulate cry
I and immediately rnshed to her. She was
j dead ! He could not believe it. He ordered
I the doctor, who had constantly remained
with her, to bleed her, but it was useless.
When all signs of returning life were lost
and preparations wi re making for her burial
he requested in a choking voice that four
blankets should be spread ujion the table
uon which she was to be laid out. "If she
dot's come to," lie pitifully exclaimed, "she
would lie so hnrd upon It." He sat all night
long b- the corpse, with his face in his hands,
inconsolable, and in tho room all tho next

When visiting the Hermitage, In the sum
mer of 1878, 1 copied, verbatim, from the
marble slab which covered the remains of
Mi's. Jackson, the following memorial :
Herc I. i its the Remains or
MRS. RACHEL JACKSON.
Wife ol President Jackson,
Who died the Mod Dec. 1S2S.
Aed 81.
Her face was lair; her person plesn
Ing; her temper amiable and her
heart kind ; she deltirhted in reliev
injr the wants or her lellow-creaturao
and cultivated the divine pleas
ure by the most liberal and unpre
tending methods ; to the poor she
was a benefactor, to the rich an ex
ample, to the wretched a comefort,
to the prosperous an ornament ; bT
Piety was hand in hand with her
beuevolenco and she thanked her
Creator for being permitted to do
Oood. A bcinsr so (rentle and
Tirtuons slander mifrht wound
but could not dishonor. Kven death
when he tore her from the arines
of her husband, conld but transport
her to the bosom of her Rod.
This Inscription is believed to be the com
position of Major F.aton. The stonecutter
came as near spoiling it as he could.
Mrs. Jackson's portrait hangs in the parlor
of the Hermitage. It was painted by F.arl,
and presents a fair, buxom female of middle
age, rather fantastically attired, but very
goodly and pleasing withal. There is noth
ing in history or romance comparable to
Jackson's devotion to this plain little woman.
"She was my life and my stay," he was ac
customed to say in speaking of her after her
death. In making a disposition of his estate
he one day remarked to a friend with whom
lie was consulting and was advised by him
in certain matters that iiiu.-t have met the
approval of his judgment, but after some
moments' reflection he
"No, it cannot be. She
sadly remarked :
(pointing towards
the garden) "would not be pleased with it,
and, dead though she is, her wishes to me
i are law.
Mr. N. r. Trist, who was for a while the
! private secretary to the General when Fres-
idetit relates the following :
"One evening after 1 parted with him for
' the niuht, revolving ovei the directions he
, had given about some letters I was to pre
' pare, one point occurred on which I was not
i perfectly satisfied as to what those directions
I had been. As the letters were to tie sent off
' early next morninc. 1 returned to his cham
i her door, and, tapping gently, in order not to
J awake him if he had got to sleep, my tap
i was answered by "Come in." He was un
dressed, but not yet in bed, as I supposed he
j must be by that time. He was sitting at the
i little table, with his wife's miniature a very
large one, then for the first time seen by me
j belore him, propped up ngaint some
! books, and between him and this picture lay
j an open book, which bore the marks of long
use. This book, as I afterwards learned,
' was her prayer-book. The miniature he
always wore next to his heart, suspended
i round Ids neck by a strong black cord. The
I last thing he did every night before lying
! down to rest was to read in that book with
i that picture under his eyes."
The Fafek Boom. An exchange takes
the bull by the horns in this way: "If :
printing paper continues to advance, the ,
newspapers will be forced to use common
white satin with plain gilt border instead, j
They will very much dislike to resort to so ;
cheap a substitute, but when rag print puts !
tn a pairof telegraph climbers and the paper
men plunge their thumbs- into the arm holes
of their vests am. ask what you are going to
do about it, something must be done, and it ;
is to be hoped the reading public will grace
fully submit to having their newspapers
printed on so inexpensive material until
these bloated straw stack and rag-bag ,
holders can be driven to the wall, and pub
lishers return to the use of paper. We're in
for breaking down the giant monopoly, and
if it becomes necessary to print the paper on
a bleached rubber blanket and have men go
around and hold it up while people read it,
we shall not shrink from our duty when i
volunteers are calleil for. Ladies who rely
on newspapers for the raw material for '
bustles, and boys who hold diplomas for j
superiority in the art of decorating the veiling
with spit-balls while the teacher is drawing
the map of an algebra on the blackboard,
are invited to join this boom."
How Fkanklin WAS.CrnKD. Somebody
has unearthed the following interesting re
miniscence : When Rcnjamin Franklin was
a lad he began to study philosophj and soon
became fond of applying technical names to
common objects. One evening, when he
had mentioned to his father that he hadswal-
lowed some acephalous inollusks, the old
man was much alaimed, and, suddenly seiz
ing him, called loudly for help. Mrs. Frank
lin came with warm water, and the old man
rushed in with the garden pump. They
forced half a gallon down Benjamin's throat,
, then held him by the heels over the edge of
the porch, and shook him while the old man
i snid. "If we don't tret them thincs out of
i Bonny jie be j,jzenecl, sure 1" When
j tley vere out anj Benjamiu explained that
I ti,c articles referred to were ovsters, his
fati,er fondled him for an hour with a tmnk-
straj. for scaring the family. Ever afterward
Franklin'3 language was marvelonsly simple
and explicit.
A Nafohty Bikd. Another parrot story,
and a true one. We all know the bird's pro
pensity' for picking up new phrases. A
worthy deacon owned a parrot which had
been brought up in the familj'. It had never
heard aught but proper language, and always
being present at family prayers and learning
many soras of hvm and prajers, would at
times reverently "exhort" its hearers, and
was nicknamed "pious Poll." One daik,
rainy night the deacon started out with Foil
safely sheltered w ithin the breast of his over
coat, to exhibit her to some of his friends.
As he walked along lie struck his pet corn
against a sharj stone ; in tho anguish of the
moment he gave vent to an exclamation the
reverse of pious. Arrived nt the friend's
house Poll was asked to "lead. them in pray-
er," when cocking her head on one side,
with a knowing look at the poor deacon, Poll
cioaked out : "D n that stone '."

A Moving Appeal. Once upon a time
the mule, without having received an invita
tion, attended a convention of animals that
was called for the purpoe of discussing the
best methods of family government. "What
do j'ou know about all of this ?" asked the
president, tauntingly; "have you ever raised
any children ?" The mule wept. "Ah no,
he said, "I "nave never raised anything but
full-grown men ; but land of the pilgrim !
yon should see how I raised them you
should see me raise a man that weighs as
mneh as Dav id Davis." Upon a risinc vote

I'LIULS OF THE RAIL.
The following story was told during an i
interview held by a New York M'orld re
porter with two Erie engineers, now dead :
"Did you ever hear Ilughey Williamson tell
of his adventure at Washingtonville on the
j Newburg bianch ?" asked Carpenter. Wil
! Hamsun is another know-no-danger runner,
i and is now on the road. Fisk sekcted him
j because of his courage to run the Chicago
I relief train. "Well," he went on to say,
j "that was a rarity, one that seldom occurs.
I Williamson was in Newburg when he was
I telegraphed to run to Greycourt to assist in
j pulling a big six-wheeler on the track that
! had run off a switch and could not get back
herself, as they sometimes do, you know.
! Of course time was an important thing, as
j the engine that was off blocked up the west
i ward bound track. He started from New-
j burg with nothing but his engine and a clear
j road ; you can just bet he flew. He left the
l rails echoing behind like a never-ending
, waterfall. The station agents ru.-hed to the
i door wild with fright, thinking it was a
I runaway engine, and nobody on It. At
, Saltsbury Mills, the population of which
village is but a few feet from the track, the
' people rushed out of the houses utterly dis
: mayed and unable to believe their o-.vn eyes.
: They thought it was a specter, which they
1 could not describe so suddenly did it appear
j and as quickly vanish from sight. Over tho
, Washingtonville, flats the gait was so rapid
r the telegraph poles looked like blades of
; grass, they were so thin. After turning the
: curve at the Washingtonville station Ilughey
- espied a handcar full of track-hands, rails,
. etc. They had no sijn of a flag out, and did
not expect anything along. He immediately
concluded that he could not stop iu time, so
he only blew his whistle to warn the men to
jump oil. There were a dozen of Yin and
I they had a wonderfully narrow escape, lie
I picked up that hand-car, and sent 'cm flvin'
: in the air in all directions. A low handcar
with rails on it pointing right at you is the
most dangerous thing that you can possibly
i hit, but the tails this time instead of piercing
; the boiler and engine swerved off and did
, little injury. The dinner-kettles i f the
' laborers Hew like imp-corn on a frying-pan,
! aud crowbars, shovels, pickaxes, tamping
bars and spikes made a complete kalcidn
; scope in the" air. One of tlio axles of the
car, to which was attached one wheel,
bounded over the smokestack and came
crashing through the cab window on tho
: fireman's side, w ho was i -early killed in his
g;eat hurry to get out of the way. The
: most of the car landed on ti e front oi the
engine, and before Hughcy could stop h
, had carried it through one of those old
fashioned covered wooden bridges nearlj a
quarter of a mile on. 'Tn all my experi
ence," concluded Carpenter, I don't think I
ever heard tell of such a miraculous escape
as Hughcy had. Ho must have been going
through the air like an electric current
i when lie couldn't stop an empty engine be
1 fore hitting such a dangerous thing."
j RAonrEs in His Head. Recently an At
lanta Constitution reporter, observing quite a
crowd gathering about a negro boy in the car
shed, approached and inquired the cause of
! the excitement. He discovered that the boj
was a musical prodigy on a very unique scale.
Vy placing his right hand over his right car
, and partially opening his mouth, this boy
' gave the exact imitation of the musical tones
: of the Scotch baggipe-s playing many airs
' with perfect accuracy. The music seemed
; to come from the inside of the boy's head,
j and many people were attracted to the spot
j thinking that the bagpij.es were giving forth
their rich, mild melody. The boy w is very
accommodating and jilaj'ed many airs, glid
ing with ea.se from the gay to the grave. For
instance, ho j. laved "DKic" with great sj irit
and rapidity and then in the slo.vest aud
most mournful cadences "Streams of Merev
Never Ceasing." His name is Alonzo Barnes
! and he hails from Eastman. 1 le is on! v eii'h-
' teen years of age and sa s that he found out
: by accident about three years ago that l is
head was full of batpipes, and has been prac-
ticing upon them ever since. H- said that
he could play any tune that was whistled,
whereupon some one in the crowd suggested
that lie give something from "Pinafore." He
had never heard of the piece, he said, but
called upon man after man in the group to
whistle it for him, but not one seemed equal
for the task. All admitted that they' had
once heard it, but so long r.go that it was

Tkrkibi.i: Contest with Rats. Th's
stoiy comes from a small town in North Car
olina called Prdeo. Tho other day the owner
of a lloui ing mill. Gen. Bostick, and one of
his eii'.tih yecs had occasion t enter a corn
' hoii-o which about tvvtlvc months previous
had been Clod with com and had not peen
' opened since. When they entered the house
thej-'fonnd it swsnnipg with rats. The lats
i Instantly rushed upon th men and made a
' furious nttack ujion them, biting ihem upon
j the face, arms and legs, and mutilating '
j them terribly. In vain the men strove to !
! defend themselves; the rats came in fresh j
droves, and if help had rot come at their !
cries the men would in all probability have j
been torn to piece-;. There is little occurring
in this life which docs not contain a lesson j
I of some kind. It is evident from the above
j narrative, says the lhirrisburg Patriot, that
' the combination of the rodents in one solid

THE HIDE VHTH THE DOCTOR.
"I'd like to chance with any one," said
Fatty Hill, as she hung out the lat garment
of the wash upon the rlothes-lines. and sat
down for a moment on the crass to rest
"It" mk, woik, work, from dawn tintll
j dusk, and I git iiothinc for It but a fc
clothes and my living. Jack and 1 w ill just
work ourselves into our grave., and leav
nothing behind us but a couple of poor
children. Yes, I'd change with anv ona
this moment."
"Would you "" aid a voice at her ear.
"Well, if you will you may. I'll show you
how but be certain yuu are right about
jour choice."
Fatty lookeil up and yaw fitting hsiie hr
a queer old man who went about the country
selling herbs and medicines of his own
manufacture, and whom the eoui.try f-jlks
called doctor though the faculty assured
ly did not recognie him.
"Oh, yon heard mo. did vou ?" said Fatty
"Well, Doctor, peihaps you don't belicvo
me, but it's true. Why shouldn't I l.."k
over there at the fine houses on the hill aud
look nt my shanty and see the difference,
and see the ladies in their f-ilks. and with
their parasols over their head, and me
baking my brains In the sun to wash, and
weed the few turnips."
"Still, they are worse off. You've your
husband and children," said tho doctor.
"A poor laborer, and a couple of bare
footed brats," said Fatty, who was in her
woist mood.
"Very well," said the doctor, "come and
take a iide with me then, and we'll visit
sumo of those people, and if ym' want to
change with one of them after that, w hy, I'll
give you a spoil and a potion as cheap as
yon can net them anywhere, and then you'll
be in any one's sh.jos you prefer."
"I ride with you 1" said Fatty. "Well, 1
didn't know nu l.ept jour carriag-M-r Bny
horses but Sh ink's mare."
" Rut I do. I've ju:t si tone up," said the
doctor.
Then all of a sudden there was a s-ut of
soft clutter, H'ld there was a little carriage
and two horses standing near.
"Jump in," said the doctor.
"In my old wfishing dress?" esked Fatty
"I'll give you a wrap," said t'.c do toi ;
and he threw over hot a sort of pay cloak
with a hood. In a moment h.ir-c, car;i,ig,
ar.d the doctor and Fatty herself, seemed to
weigh nothing, and to be nc.de t f S' -mt thing
as delicate as cobweb : and away thej' went
through the air as it seemed to Fatty, and at
last through the houses, in-t ov i the roads.
"Squire Burke's place," said the d.vt-.r.
"Now, I don't doubt that you'd like to Iks
Squire Brake's lady."
"Indeed I -.vou!.!," said Fatty.
"You must take all her troubl. with all
her happiness," c.iid tho doctor.
"Few troubles will she have," said Tatty.
The little invisible carriage and its to
invisible riders were In the room wlioie tbp
squire's lady sat. She was dressed in a
beautiful robe, and there were pearls in her
ears, but drops brighter than they were on
her la-he, and her face was distorted with
grief and anrer. A gentleman stood near
her. He had papt rs, bound with red tape,
in his hand 1 1 is face was voiy grave.
"Yes, Mr. Groto," the holy was sayir.g,
"ye-, 1 iiiiist do it. I know all the truth
now . I have intercepted his letters , 1 have
watched him. He is false to me, as he has
always been cruel to me. I must Lave a di
vorce. I will go home to my father poor
father, who loves mo and who thought 1
had made a good match."
"Well." whispered the doctor, "will yon
be Mrs. Burke ?"
"No, not for worlds," said Fttty. "Tkink
of Jack 1 lie's as fund of me as the day Le
courted mo, this minute."
Away went the hordes.
"This is Miss Mint-m's," said the doctor.
"oh, what a fairy palace !" said Fatty.
And, indeed, it vvas. Nothing rare and
beautiful was missing. There were crowds
of servants and troop of guests. They
were playing croquet on the lawn, singing
In the j ailors, eating fruit unJor the shade
of the trees, but whore was Miss Miuton?
"Come this waj ," said the doctor.
Mi-s M'.r.t'.n was in her room: with her
was her physician.

"You will not be Miss Mititm ?" said, tha
doctor to Pattj-.
"No, no, no; I'm the healthiest Woman I
know," said Fatty.
"Here is the Weatheroy II-iuso," said th
doctor.
"Why, what is the maitcr here?"' a-ked
Fatty, as she saw Mrs. Wcatherhy bending
over a bed in darkened room weoj.l-ig biu

In a moment more Patty was sitting on
