Circumstantial Evidence. fcT7'E ought to tell her," Raid Mrs. "It'aolu boiindenduty'said Mrs. Olouu. "Olidear," said Mrs. Bright, " I can't ace why we should bother otiraelvea. People never get any thanks for interfering between man and wife." . , " 1 don't want thanks, Haid Mrs, Glenn ; "I think of myself. If Mr. Glenn should conduct himself so while I was away I should think any one my very best friend who let me know about it. To have a creature like that stealing ouo's husband's affections and other women keeping their mouths Hhut, why it's awful perfectly awful.'.' " It would be winking at aln," said Mrs. Martin. "Assuredly," said Mrs. Glenn. " I've often thought all that show of af fection didn't amount to anything," said Mrs. Martin. "Mr. Martin never kicses me when he comes home to tea. I've seeu Mrs. Willis do it right on the front door stup, and then call her dear so often. All hypocrisy. And to see her set tip by it. And my dear husband thinks this, and my dear husband thinks that, and my dear husband likes me to wear pink, and all that was made much of in the world. Nonsense." " And I've often said to myself there'll bb a waking up for yon, Mrs. Willis," said Mrs. Oleun. "And now you see it has come." "And very glad you seem to be of it," said Mrs. Bright. "The poor soul has been too happy. . For my part it always pleases me to see domestic happiness, and my advice is, don't tell her. It may be some mistake you know. If it isn't you'll only make hor suffer " "Pride goes before a fall," said Mrs. Glenn. " I'm only an instrument. I'm obliged to do the work set before me, eveu if it bumbles her." "Aud you'll go with us, Mrs. Bright?" said Mrs. Martiu. . " Not I," said Mrs. Bright. " Firstly, I think in the face of all your evidence, that Mr. Willis is too good a man, and too fond of bis wife to deceive her so ; secondly, if it is all true, I wash my hands of helping to break that sweet little heart. And if I thought I could talk you out of going I would. Just wait a week or so; think about it a little while, do." Mrs. Martin shook her head. Mrs. Glenn smiled sarcastically. " You always shirk anything disagree able," she said. " You have a nature that impels you to take life easily. I have been forced to put my shoulder to the wheel too often, not to do it willingly." . ' " And I've often said," said Mr. Mar. tin, "that 1 revere Mrs. Glonn for that very thing.'.' : . They walked out of the room. Mrs. Bright shrugged her fat shoulders. "A couple of old slunder-mongeis," she said; "aud now they must try to make little Kva Willis uncomfortable." Mrs. Bright, Mrs. Martin, i arid Mrs. Glenn boarded with their husbands at the fashionable establishment of Mrs. Roger Black. Mr. and Mrs. Willis lived next door, and all of them attendod the same church. Either the latter pair were pe culiarly fond of each other or were more disposed to show their fondness than most people are ; but certainly they were kuown as a tuodol oouple. He was a tall, hand some, black whiskered man of forty. She was a petite blonde of twenty-two or tweuty-thiee. Evideutly, no mnu was so wise, so great, so perfect in her eyes as her hnsband. Evidently, no woman so charm ing to him as his wife. " " Now, there are a great many women to whom this sort of thing is gall and worm wood. They cannot bear to see it, and break it up if possible. All the flirts in the congregation had tried to do this and had failed. ' All the sour matrons whose mar lied lives were spent iu spats aud squab-' bleu, sneered at the happy ' pair.' and de-. olared that it won't last long. , But it had lasted for five or six- years, and not flaw had been discovered in the conduct of ei ther, until, one bright summer, when Mrs. Willis having left home on a visit to her sister, a very pretty young ltuly arrived at a neighboring hotel, and Mr. Willis yea, Mr. Willis, no other was seeu to devote himself to ber in a way that was positively shocking. Yes, positively terrible. For Mrs. Glenn and Mrs. Martin, who took to going about in waterproof cloaks and hoods after dark, had not only seen Mr. Willis take ice cream with this young lady, but were ready to swear that ' be kissed her at parting, and on more than one oocasiou was seen to put his arm about her waist. This had gone on - for three weeks, when Mrs. Willis returned, and now, as (he lady was unpacking her trunks in her pretty room next door, the two watchers had de termined to inform her of her husband's infidelity and no task could have been more pleasing to them.. 1 . Dressing iu their best, and armed with parasols and fans, they watched Mr. Willis' departure from the bouse with eager eyes aud then hastened down stairs, almost ran up the stops of the house next door, anx ious to meet the happy face they hoped to change to misery. "Tlmnk you for coming to see me so soon," she said. "It does seem as though I'd been away from home a whole year Mr. Willis says it seems five to him and yet I've been enjoying myself ever so much." ' "I am glad to hear it," snid Mrs. Martin. ' " Your happiness is fleeting," said Mrs. Glenn. Tbey spoke so solomnly that Mrs. Willis thought that something unploacant mitRt have happened to one of them. "Eveiy one well, I hope'i" she said more gravely. "Quite," said Mis. M.irtiti, with a sigh. " Anything new V" said Mrs. Willis. " No," snid Mrs. Glenn. ' I'ouple are as wieked as ever, nml tint is us old as ttatan.' "Mrs. I'lni kliiiH been ovi-rrhnrgiiig her for extras, or the t'liimibcrmHid Iidk let the iiiilkinuu kiss her," thiuiKlit Mrs. Willis. " And what line went tier we are having, " she added aloud. " Yea," said Mr. Mm tin, with a little groan, "I often think of those lines in the hymn : W'liri every proTt jilfSHii, And otily nan is vii.' " How vile man is sometimes," said Mm. Glonn. . , . "Ah," said Mrs. Martin. I shouldn't wonder if Mr. Glenn had been flirting with some one," thought Mrs. Willis. " I have the photographs of all nister Barah's children," said Mrs. Willis. "I'll show them to you if you like." "Thank you, Mrs. Willis," said Mrs. Glenn; "but our hearts are full of serious thoughts just now. We are thinking too much of evil hearts to look at innocent children's faces. We have come to tell you something, Mrs. Willis." " I knew something was on your mind," said the unsuspicious womau to herself ; but she merely gave a little bow and looked with attention. "You are young, Mrs. Willis," said Mrs. Martin. "Comparatively young," added Mrs. Glenn. "And you don't know yet how very wicked this world is," said Mrs. Martin. " Ah, no," said Mrs. Glonn. "Nor what men aro," said Mrs. Martin. " You don't often faint, do you ?" asked Mrs. Glenn. "I never," said Mrs. Willis. , "That is well,", said Mrs. Martin, "I fear we will agitate you very much." Mrs. Willis began to look grave. "No accident has happened," she falter ed. "Mr. Willis I saw him leave the house ten minutes ago nothing has ?" "As far as we know, Mr. Willis is per fectly safe and well," said Mrs. Glenn, severely. " Mrs. Willis, I feel it my duty as a friend, to warn you that you should not have earthly idols. Your one thought ap pears to be your busbaud. There are other people to whom tonible things could hap pen." . " And idols of clay may easily be shat tered," suid Mrs. Martin. "One naturally thinks of one's own first," said Mrs. Willis. " I am sure I shall be distressed to hear that anyone has met with a misfortune," Mrs. Willi also added. "We all meet with misfortunes sooner or later," said Mrs. Glenn ; " and again I say you think too much of one sinful man." "lam not aware that I requested advice on the subject," said Mrs. Willis "and 1 scarcely think a woman could love so good a husband too well, or honor him too much." ... "Good 1" cried Mrs. Martin. .. " Mrs. Willis," said Mrs. Glenn, " how do you know he 1 better than any other man that he is not even untrue to you P" Mrs.. Willis started to her feet in indig nation. ' 1 " How dare you" she began. "Stop," said Mrs. Glenn. "Wo have come to speak, and will speak. It is our duty to unmask hypocrite." "Mrs. Willis, scarlet with anger, re mained standing. Mrs. Martin began to look happy. Mrs. Glenn even smiled. "My dear friend," she said, "we be lieve that you ought to know that you are dreadfully deceived. While you have been absent your husband has devoted himself to auolher lady a beautiful girl who ar rived immediately after your departure. We have teen him kiss and embrace her have we not, Mrs. Martin ?" ... "Oh, yea,'! said ; Mrs. Martin. "Hie is perhaps, sixteen years old a dark beauty. It ia quits absurd to think dark monad mire light ladies most, (She is as dark as be is, and very beautiful." "Ob, yes," said Mrs. Glenn. . " Lovely outwaidly. I think she must be French. It is quite terrible, We fed. it to be so; but we found it necessary to do our duty and iuforni you at once." ' Thank ; you," said Mis. Willis in 'a choked voice, as she covered ber face with ber handkerchief. " I hope," she said, after a moment's silence, "that you will not refuse to repeat this iu presence of Mr. Willis. Of courte you are not afraid to speak the truth before any one. If you will wait I will send for him, I will not be long. She still kept her face hidden, but hor agitation was evidently great. "I must insist upon your presence," she said in faltering accents ; " and if I sepa rate from Mr. Willis I shall need you for witnesses. Wait a moraont. will send for him. This was more than the - ladies had bar gained for, but retreat was impossible. Mrs. Willis loft the room, and returned with her face hidden in her handkerchief. There was some silence in the room, and as the time ' passed on, Mrs. Martin began to wish herself safely at home, but Mrs. Glenn was of firmer stuff and braved the matter out better. Half an hour passed ; then'a latch-key was heard in the hall door. It opened. Mrs. Willis still concealed her face. A step nay the steps of two persons crossed the hall. The parlor door opened, and Mr. Willis strode in, followed by a young lady the very young lady who had been the subject of their communication a pretty girl, and very like Mr. Willis himself. And now Mrs. Willis arose with a face as bright as it had ever been in all tbeir re membrance of its brightness, and turnod toward thorn. "Ladies," said Bhe, "allow mo to intro duce my step-daughter, Adele Willis. She has been with grandmother in France until latoly. You know, or do not know, that Mr. Willis' first wife was a French ' lady, and she has just come to us. As 1 was absent, tbe hotel was pleasanter to her than the empty house, and so ahe has stayed there until to-day. She is just fourteen. The ladies thought you quite sixteen, you are so tall, Adele ; and I am very glad to have her with me." Mrs. Glenn arose ; and so did Mrs. Mar tin. " Yes, to be sure," said Mrs. Martin ; "delightful of course," and hurried out of the room. " A good motive should atone for a mis take," said the brave Mrs. Glenn. " I hope you will bear no eumity." , "None at all," said Mrs. Willis. "I have been very much amused." But Mrs. Glonn and Mrs. Martin were not amused, I fear ; and that very night they quarreled so violently about the mat ter, each blaming the other as instigator, that neither ever spoke to the other again. Only Half Price. Everybody remembers McDonald Clark, who was well known in New York, a few years since, as the "Mad Poet." During the last years of his life Clarke was made free of the Astor House table, and often times this errant man of genius could be seen accepting its hospitalities when other doors were closed on his fallen fortunes. Everybody knew Clarke by sight ; and one day, while quietly takiug his dinner, two travellers, seating themselves opposite, commenced a conversation intended for the ears of Clarke. One said r " Well, I have now been in New York two months, and seen all I wish with one ' exception." " Ah ?" said the other, " what is that ?" "M'Donald Clarke, the great poet," re sponded No. 1, with a strong emphasis. Clarke raised big eyes slowly from his plate, and seeing the attention of the table was on biro, stood up, placing his band over his heart, and, bow with gravity to the strangers, said : "I am M'Donald Clarke, the great poet." . The traveller startled in mock surprise, gazed at him in silence for a few moments, then amidst an audible titter of the com pany drew out a quarter dollar? and laying it before Clarke still looked at him without a Bmile. Clarke raised the quarter in silence and with dignity, bestowed it iu his pocket, drew thence a shilling, which he deposited before the traveller with these works :t "Children and fools half price." The titter changed to a roar, and the travellers were missing instanter. Are You Honest I ' I don't mean by this question, to ask you if you steal money or other well recognize? property. There are other ways of being dishonest. . If you sell a man six bushels of grain, and give him only five, taking pay for the whole six, you know you are no better than a thief. If you hire a man for a stipulated sum to work for you for a week or a year, and' he gives you only a portion of his working time, does he not defraud you of what is of the same value, as the money you pay for that time. Many a young man who would scorn to be thought a thief, is thoughtlessly stealing what belongs to his employer. He is tak ing time for his own uso which he has sold to another, and la therefore no longer his own. So, before answering the above question, if an employee, ask yourself if you do uot sometimes use time that be longs to your employer, and rosolve in future, that you will not take bis time for your individual use, any more freely than you would his money. When you act on this principle, you can answer the above question in' the affirmative, and uot till then cn yon claim to be tny owtUj
