THE MAIN BRIDGE.
It WM past midnight the lights
on the atone bridgo which crossod
the rivwr . Main at Fraokfort were
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
same time another man, advanced in
years, was coming towards him from
SaohoDbansen, the well known sup
erb on the opposite sido of the river.
The two bad not yet. met, when the
latter turned from bis path and went

The yonng man followed bim

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

a perfect stranger, who has ehaooed

bis existence, nowtMetrained the
impetuosity of the yowiger.
"Stop, ' sir,' said be, while his
weary eyes tried to examine the fea

You seem to be too young to leave

I Cannot have ration lonirer to live

I must aee Bertha, for 1 am anxious

the other, with tears of ey in pr. '.' -.

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
le. The furniture of the room was
clean and tasteful. The girls whole
dress would not have fetched many
kreutzors i but every article fitted
her as well aa if it had cost bun
dreds. Ber fair locks shaded a face
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
np for joy. 8ue listened, and doubt
seemed to shadow her brow. Then
came a knock at tho door, which
made ber tremblo so muob that she
almost wantod the courage to say
ome in.' A young man sbabiiy
dressed, enterod the room, and made
a low and awkward bow.
"I bog pardon, miss,', said be :

there is nothing in tba world I hold
more saored than bur memory and
the promise 1 gave bor i but still,

took the book down from the shelf.
'Ob, sir,' sbo said, 'duriug many a

the money bo bad asked for. They
pawned the book, 'and the required

joyed.
"uut if yon spend all that monev
to-day,' remarked tho young man
'on what will you live to morrow ?'
"I do not know, but 1 trust in

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.
