WHAT A KEY I'XI-OCKED. Thr j were as hand3onio a couple 13 one could bare wished ; indeed ,n- r,ri;nn wlio knew them both intimately, said that Mr. and Mrs. Vivian were samples of what trne marriage ought to be. On this bitioglycold January morn ing thev were standing in the elegant librarv" of their residence in N. . numerous evidences of testhetic taste surrounding them on all Bides; yat, tn hare looked in their faces, it need ed onlv a dance to tell you of deep ariul ino' trnnlilo. sk.Voa liauiiful woman, this nporloea Ethel Vivian, with a grav dicnitv about her that was perfec tion : wilh a rare, refined face, light ed bv such winsome, violet blue eyes, framing the clear, pure complexion, n ,l,ppks. and trlowinsr scanei r . . " -e "l- A A mouth, witn masses 01 paic, ucu yld hair, that bad made her husband so madly in love only two years be- fore. Now, two years auer one 0 m a 1 ii. pU n M ver ot ieneci uappiucss, nuuu Ethel would tell her husband such bliss so unalloyed could not last much longer; after six montns more 01 va"ue suspicion, founaeG on tne most shadowy ioundation ; then, after the last six months of gradual, then rapid distrust, jealousy, anger it had all come to this horrible open rupture. And on that beautiful winter roorn- Ethel Vivian and her husband had met in the library of their home for the last time as man and wife. And the ponderous document ly- , , 1 iL. , k . I ing on tee xauie wuere iuu iu uw so often read together, was a bill of divorce. Yes, it bad come to that open separation and all because why? Ethel lvian could Lave told you of Laura St. John's wonderous face ; be could have drawn you a picture of her with such perfection of accu racy, that you would hardly need to - . . , . i t-". e , see uer. Ana mis is now jciuci would have described the woman who lay at the bottom of her Iife- loDjr misery. A face, witching tsal enus, wud such a dainty scarlet mouth, with the tiny, seed-pearl teeth peeping out be tween her lips, just as the HtMe dim ple was called to ber scarlet-tinted . . a . cheeks by the langn toat so ouen came. Her eyes laughed, too those sun shiny eyes, that sparkled as though they" were varnished; wondrous eye9 of amber red, with such magnificent red gold lashes, that lay like a heavy shadow on ber cheek; perfect arched brows, and hair that seemed a fairy gift, so perfect was it in texture, color and grace. sometimes when the wore it bang- ing, unoouna ana nnoraiuea, jusi as nature had waved it, from the crown of ber little, loyally set bead, to far below ber waiste, you would have taken Liura St. John for a sprite un canny gnome, Ethel said; a nymph of rarest beauty, goodness and inno cence. Even after Edward Virian learned how deceitful, how utterly unprinci pled she was, be forgave it her, be- . ia t t cause it was nimseu see loved. so now that this beautiful demoness had so worked ber plans that Edward Vivian was oftener by her side of an evening than at his wife's now that Ethel had freely come to learn she was no longer necessary to her husbands happiness, she had request ed bim to let her go away ; let him be freed legally from the bonds that have grown 60 galling. Now, there the two stood face to face, to coldly say good-bye. Ethel was deadly white as she took the pen ber bus band courteously banded her, to sign her name to that which, once sign ed, unwifed ber forever. Dut was it not letter thus? Had she a right to stay where she felt ber presence was a burden where she knew she was meerly tolerated ? Then, rushing memories of the days when she came there in the floodtide of happiness came, surging over ber sore heart; she trembled violently; her cold fingers refused to clasp the pen ; and, with one swift, piteous look up in her husband's face, Ethel bowed her bead over the di vorce bill, and wept as only such a woman could at such a time. Mr. Vivian looked amazed, then surprised ; then a sudden grave ex pression came into his eyes. He turned away from ber, and began to promenade to and fro, walking with quick, restless Etrides, all the while flinging quick glances at the glorions bead bowed in such mute agony on the table before bim. Then half re lentaatly, balf angrily, be paused be side her. "I am so astonished, Mrs. Vivian ; I bad not expected anything of tbia kind. I presumed you bad arrived at your deliberate decision, and that henceforth the oast was only the - past: the future " She raised ber white face, with it haunting eyes. "Oh. the" future ! the awful mid- nieht, trackless, endless future that looms before me ! Edward ! Edward ! this will kill u e !" She waa tryinr to speak calmly ; she sat folding aad unfolding her nervous, chilly bands; but in ber very attitude, ber vain efforts to cour age, was a dumb despair that touch ed Lis heart. ' Ethel" be bad not called ber Ethel for so long before, that it thrilled ber to her very soul to bear it once more "there was no actual need for thia," and Le lightly touched tbe doc ument. "It was at your wo request I had it procored." A little wailing cry interrupted him. "I know, I know," she moaned ; ESTABLISHED, 18 S(BIERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY.MAY 20. 1875. "I wanted you to doihis; I want it still because you love me no long er ; because you loc Laura St. " "Mrs. Vivian." He was bieru and icy again ; she knew bv the curt, sharp way he in terrupted ber. "This is not the first tinieyou have openly accused me of infidelity to you, aud loyally to Misitt St. John. Cannot a man express admiration for a beautiful woman without a jealous wife using it as a weapon to destroy her own happiness? Miss St. John would be insulted beyond measure, did she for a moment suppose " "What?" It was a siren voice that startled them both ; and then Laura St. John, herself radient in daintiest blue vel vet and mino ver costume, came laugh ing in, so sweet, so arch,' "Mr dear airs. man, l am so delighted to why " ior Lthel had ansen, culd and still, with no welcoma on her white face, and only reproachful sorrow in her eyes. "Miss St. John has no reason to be delighted to see the woman wL life she has blasted whose husband she has tempted.". Lthel spoke very deliberately, looked Laura full in the face : then she turned to her husband, in whoe eyes there shone a red gleam that portended wrath. "i erhaps you will assure your friend she is in the wav just now, she said. "I have only a quarter of an boor to attend to our business." And then Ethel consulted her watch with an air of quiet; but, oh, how, under that cold exterior, were her pulses leaping, bounding! Laura stood motionless, with aa ungloved haTd resting on the libra ry table, ber scarlet lips quivering as if her heart was broken her big, re splendent eyes slowly filling with tears, as she looked first at Ethel, then at Mr. Vivian, ad if to humbly beseech them to tell her what it all meant. She was very beautiful at that moment, and she thought Ed ward Vivian appreciated it to the foil ; she knew it when be turned to wards her. "I am sure you will pardon us, dear Miss St. John," he said. "At this moment Mrs. Vivian is particu larly engaged." Laura shot biia a glance from her liquid eyes. "Cut I must come again and find out what she means! I must know why I am thus accused !" 15ut her mission was accomplished : and, with a thrill of gratification at her heart, she bowed to Ethel, and gracefully departed. And Ethel Vivian, with icy -gleaming eyes, com pressed lips and unfaltering hand, now signed her name in full under her husband's. , . And so it was doneor undone. ' ' ' ' ' , Two years twice a twelve month and Laura St. John was standin? before ber dressing table, earnestly peering at the splendid reflection she made, with her personal beauty heightened by the chastely-rare bri dal attire 6he wore, that was fault less froja the floating tulle veil, fas tened by an orange blossom epray and a glittenngdiamoBd elgrette, to the tiny, white silken slipper, with its rosetts sciBtilatin? with small jewels She was beautiful ; she wa triumphant, for she was successful ; and this, her wedding-day, would crown her success. She manajed well ; according1 to the chart she bad drawn for herself, from the hour she first saw and loved Ethel's husband, she had marched straight n, regardless of cast, regard lees of anything but the ultimate re sult. Uere it was close at band not half an hour from accomplishment. Down in the saloon Laura beard low, musical laughter at intervals; in the several dressing-rooms oppo site she beard the wedding guests preparing to descend to the festivi ties, and she smiled at ber own eyes in the glass, that at last xhe would marry Ethel's husband. And Ethel ? She bad dropped suddenly from the social firmament Like a meteor that comes flashing in dazzling light across the sky, and then plunges in to black deeps of obscurity, so had Ethel dazzled, del'gbted and disap pointed the people. Now, alter two years, she was to them as if she had never been. To Edward Vivian, if memories of ber haunting eyes and quivering lips ever came, he never gave a sign, but deliberately wooed and won Lau ra St. John. Lanra St. John herself? In the de sert silence of her chimber, a she stood drawing on her gloves for, with a pretty wilfulness that was ir resistable, she bad driven ber maids from her a graceful, ebon-robed woman suddenly, silently, swiftly glided across the glaring carpet, and confronted ber, with upraised veil, and cold, clear eyes. "It 13 even I, Miss St. John. Sure ly you will not despise my congratu lations?" Ethel's sweet, low voice it was, and Laura after one slight start of great suip'ise, bowed constrainedly, and waited. "I will not detain you more than a moment, as Mr. Vivian, doubtless ia impatient for the moment when be may call yon bis wife. Under the pecnliar circumstances, Miss St. John, and to assure you that I bear you no malice, may I present you with this?" She quietly reached out a small rose-wood box, that was mounted with silver. "The key is in the lock, you see. Miss St. John. Have I the pleasure to know joa accept it?" Ethel set the box on tbe maable bureau top and awaited an answer. Laura's cheeka were flashing slightly i ber bands trembled as she essayed to button ber glove, and busy thoughts were speeding through ber brain. What did it mean thia rudden ap pearance of Ethel ? Did it augur ill or peace, as Ethel declared ? Dared thia stalely, calm woman in black attack ber there alone, and wreak a discarded wife's just vengeance? The thought was natural, and Laura's heart beat in tempestuous throbs. "I will accept it, Miss Elmre, and tiank yon. And may I beg that you 3 7. will allow rae to finish my toilette, I would not ca:e to be too late." This, with a wonder in her heart if Ethel observed her cowardice. But Miss Ethel Miss Elmore, tbe law called ber smiled. "Assuredly I would not have you too late. I "dislike those words, toe late. To the superstitious they sound ornnious. Adieu Miss, St. John ; you will be detained no long er by me, or you might possibly be too late." She bowed regally, and left Laura shivering with vague unrest at the repeated words. A moment later, and from her win dow she saw Ethel going rapidly down the street, her black veil flut tering like a death pennant in the brisk breeze. She drew a long breath tf relief, and then turned to the beautiful lit tle roc-wood box with a joyous laugh. Natural curiosity tempt? tne to see wuat ber present can I.e. . Possibly sowe horrid snake bracelet, or a dag ger for my shawl, or something equally delightful. She lightly turned the little silver key, and bent her radient face over me iid. fcne saw a tiny vaporous smuke wreath roll upward for an in stant, and then The terrible noise of the explosion brought the horrified guests to her door, and they found her lying in ber bridal tobes, fresh ia her godJe like beauty, dead.

Bravery ia Women. The Atlantic Monthly,, giving a "Rebel's Recollections," speaks of the wonderful coolness and courage of tbe Southern women and girls "under Cre," during tbe late war, and gives some examples in proof.

No Old Lad lea In France A Paris correspondent says: "A fallacy which I hear discussed is that good manners are disappear ing because men now neglect old ladies. Thi3 i., indeed, a most ab surd theory. First of all ttre are no old ladies left It is only tbe day after their decease that we learn of the existence of old ladies in France. Up to tbe moment when they are stretched on their last bed they maintain a vigorous battle against old age. Tbey simper, tbey cover their shoulders with powder, paint their veins blue and their eye brows black, dye their hair, fill their mouths with ivory, color their lips carmine, and their nails and ear? pink; while there 13 lace on their corsages,! diamonds on their necks, tulle and flowers on their petticoats, their fig- ures are mechanically adjusted, their, feet are enclosed in vices, and their hand3 in prisons of kid; they fill up thtir wrinkles with enamel, and al low a whole world of false hair and gauze to fall over their necks; in short tbey deceive themselves so much with this artificial attire that when they look at themselves in a glass without thinking they do not know themselves, and courtesy after the cerexonious fashion of a visit. It is impossible then, to be diferea tial to old ladies in society because they no longer exist. Tbe only old ladies to be met are those whom one sees kneeling in the churches of the Faubourg on confession nights, when they weep for the sins of oth ers, or coming out at night from the porch of St. Clothilde, where they had their first nap wh le pretending ta listen to a preacher." lie a Slrulpo Old Jfao A dried op old man, apparently CO years of age, strolled into a billiard parlor in Lingbampton recently, and taking a seat watched tbe players with B?me interest.

"Hello, there, old man, did you ever swing the cue?" said he "Wal, stranger, I used to prance around a little three-cornered table fifteen years ago, but I don't suppose I could hit the first ball on this new fanglad thing," said the old man.

It is thus reported by. the correspondent of the' Philadelphia Ti.net : Uudei the laws of Dela ware tbe property of a wife who dies without Usue descends not to her husband, but to these of her own blood. Two years ago Henry Stout, a wealth? Dover la ver, die'd, leav ing bis property to his three chil dren. Five years ago his oa!v daughter married Rev. n.U Hail. A Lewis, and a year later she died giving birth t her first child. The iatter, it was claimed by the father, lived for a few minutes after teinir delivered but this Mrs. Hall's broth ers denied. If the babe breathed ior a smele second after birth, then its mother's properry descended to her hnsband. If it wa3 dead when de livered, however, the mother died without issue and her property des cended to her brothers. To se e -be question the brothers brouiji uuior tne property, an i tne case occupied the attention tf the Court the entire week. For ti.o plaintiffs senator fcaulsbury and ex-senato.- Comegy9 appeared, and the defen dant was represented by rx-Judsre Lavton ex-Congressman Srcithers, and Edward Uidgeiv. Esn. The first witness called was Dr. George Goodell, who attended Mrs. Hall, in her fatel sicknesT nnd delivered her of child, lie was positive tbe child showed no signs of respiration or masculine motion after birth. This was all tbe material evidence offered by the plaiutifTs at this siage of tbe proceedings. Dr. Page, who wa al so present at the delivery of tbe child, was called by tbe defene. He beheted the child had a distinct ex- sterce, for with his ear npon its chest he had heard its heart beat; h also saw the temporal arteries vi brate .and tbe umbilical cord throb. Dr. Penrose, Professor of O stetrics in tho Lniversitv or 1'ennsvlvania, being called as an expert, said from the testimony he beard he felt posi tive of the chi'd's independent and distinct existerce.

An area of many acres, detached by the canal fro n tbe old werks of de fense against the lake, found itself one fine day driven by the tempest from the bank of the canal to the other side of the pond. The propri etor implored the aid of the commis sion. His land had floated to the opposite shore, widely separated from bis other Gelds, and resting on water that was not his own. y the com bined effort of the proprietor and of the commission, these fugitive fields were towel back to the borders of tbe canal and pinned in place by piles and poles, which prevented them from undertaking another voyage.
