THE MAIN BRIDGE.
It WM past midnight the lights

till burning, though the footsteps of
passengers bad died away for sumo
time on ita paveuiont, whon a young
man approached the bridgo from the
tjwn with hasty strides. At the

"What is that to you.'
"I was only going to ask you to

"Stop, ' sir,' said be, while his

In one of the narrow and ill light
ed streets of Sochensenhausen, iu an
attic of a lofty and unsightly house,
sat a blonde, about twenty years of
age, busily employed with ber need

clean and tasteful. The girls whole

kreutzors i but every article fitted
her as well aa if it had cost bun

brightened by a pair of eyes heaven
ly blue. The spirit of order, mod
esty, and cleanliness reigned in ev
erything around her. Uot features
were delicate, like those of one noble
born t ber eyes betrayed sleopmess
and anxiety, and aver and anon a
deep sigh rose from tho maiden's
breast Suddenly steps wero beard
on the staircase, and ber face lighted

seemed to shadow her brow. Then
came a knock at tho door, which
made ber tremblo so muob that she

a low and awkward bow.

A near relative or iu rerktns, re
siding in Chicago, thus inalig ns the
woather of St, Louis iu the Inter-
U -e in : I have boon wnoro it u
ahot, mossmatee, or gontloruen
ewful hot-but tho all-firedest hot
si weather I ever hauled to woe iu
St. Louis. 1 took a coutract thero
lust summer to pick up Bun-struck
pooplo off tho streets. I went bauk
rapt in three days. Why, they laid
around thicker than dead dogs in
Chicago auring tuo poisoning eta
sou. I havo seen flauetonrs bend
boudle, and whole blocks of pave
ment twisted all out of shape. Ihe
fire plugs wore red-hot, and the
water in em boiling, lbo sun
wns'nt moro than a rod away, aud
looked as red as a furnace mouth.
The air was all in a shimmer, and
tho beat came down with such force
that you oould not rsiso your band
It was just as bad at night Not a
broatb of air, and lbs beat crowded
into the buildiogs and was packed
in the streets. I oa ooalda't got a
breath. One ni2bt I went down oo
tb levee and found a gang of nig
ger with snow shovels throwing
the beat into the river iu groU
chunk- I dropped off and swam
have voyageJ to a good many places
nevor down below with Uli.ick
but I dou't believe the ptare cxn bo
a hotter plane ttiai St. Louis.
E opia with othor uieu s wives
is boc jaia a vary oomuioo occur
rence io all prt of the country,
and wluk is worthy of notioe, the
lut-ber-alone policy aeems to govern
the cualands who are thus deser
ted. Twonty five years ago a rcn
away of this character always bad
a bijjy soqutd. A tLMorUd boa
band would not be tolerated unless
he bad first avenge, bis wrong in
blood. Things changed an ) in this
respect the difference io the moo-Is
of men is remarksble. Ruuaway
wives are severely let alone, a pun
ishment to a sensitive woman, alter
she ba waked from ber dream of
folly, far more terrible than any
violent measure posgirly coal J l.
Husbandi hare gotten over their
shooting inclination on this ac
count, and the f"t illustrates a
higher order of manhood, as well as
a surer way of punishing a crime
like this, which fling iu shame into
so many ianocen t hearts that it
needs no additi o nal act of fiendish
nee to cover it up.
