‘-‘ HIS WIFE’S SISTER”—A STORY OF A
SA 013117013.
.An elegant and philosophical writer says:
"Man’s life is only a journey from one fond
woman’s breast to another. It was probably
the object of the author to refer particularly to
the mother and wife. As the number of stop
ng Places is not limited. however, I choose to
accept the most catholic interpretation. 1 be
, here that what the world usually calls “ incon
. staney” is only the effort of nature to progress
‘ toward perfect affinities. If man in his journey
of life stops at a good many ports, it stands to
reason that he will acquire a much better know
‘ ledge of the world, and will eventually “lay
. up” in the best haven. Let me give you a
”modified illustration of my idea}, I hove gt friend
who has been subjective to a theory of purely
physical progression. His first and earliest
‘ afl‘ection was for Curls. He became acquainted
at the age of ten years with a. set of twelve,
large ones at that. This capillary attraction,
if 1 may so term it, was not lasting. A Voice.
belongingto another and otherwise plain young
woman, next occupied the reverbci'oting cham—
bers of his heart. It was not a. fine voice, but
it. was a positive one, and his was a negative.
Now. you see, Curls had a. negative voice. and
of course two negatives hadn’t any attraction.
Hence his deflection. Then a Bust attracted
his undivided attenrion. It was followed by
'Eyes and Mouth, which by an unusual pheno
menon occurred in the some individual; they
were both positives and my friend’s own eyes
and month were negatives, proposing to them,
"but was providentially saved. . Hence his new
variation. He came very near by the interpo
sition of an Ankle. He flirted with the Ankle
for some time, but an ankle notbeing a. regular
feature, of course it wasn’t lasting. Need I
inform the reader that had he met the positive
and negative peculiarities combined in one per
son, he would have fallen in love at once and
recognized his afiinily. That‘s what he was
looking for. Hence his hesitation, and what
the world foolishly cull his—“inconstancy.”
I merely instance this "physical” illustra~
dion as being the most forcible and common.—‘-
Mental and moral peculiarities are met in the
same way, and are much more difiicult to com
bine. Of course there are some exceptions to
the above theory. Indistinctive people are an
exceplion. You may take a stick of wood and
Saw it into a number of small pieces, and you
shall find no difficulty in fitting any of the
pieces together. But take another stick, and
break it several times, and you must find the
particular adjunct if you wish to join two in
one. Now indistinctive people are the sown
blocks ; they come naturally together. The
broken pieces are men and women of strongly
marked opposite characters, with negative and
positive dispositions, fitting each other and
showing that in the normal state they were one
distinct creation. Not nufrequently there is
some unnatural matching. A worthy friend
of mine, with a. smooth, indistinctire surface,
married one of‘ the broken pieces; the conse
quence was obvious; attraction has worn off her ‘
salient features, and she has become like him.
lint when two broken surfaces meet, that don’t
tit—there’s trouble and business for the law
yers at once. -
I would like to give you an illustration of
another exception,just for its moral. Every
story should have a. moral or develop some pe
culiar idea—but how often do we accept the
moral. When our surgical friend strips the
walls of this once living temple, and lays bare
its wonderful internal structure; however ir
reverent the act, we pardon it for the good that
shall accrue to man thereby. But when the
novelist, with his little scalpel. cuts into the
character of his opposite neighbor, or his dear
friend, and exhibits their internal organism, or
shows up his own idiosyncrasies, we never re
cognize ourselves therein. That-’3 quite another
afl'air, of course. .
When my friend Dick was about thirty years
of age, he had amassed a little fortune. He
had flirted a. good deal in his time, and was
rather a wild young fellow. But under his
superficial qualities and manly exterior, there
was a. large, honest boy’s heart. Whether it
had ever been trampled upon or had the im
pression of some woman’s small foot sunk in
it, is of little consequence. But Ido not think
his heart was that kind of primative formation
that hold the relics of by—gone days in its cold
fossiliferous stratum. If Dick had ever had
an “ affair do occur” he had forgotten it. He
was what we term blaze ; we—who know noth
ing about it. Dick did not object to the epi~
thet—hc rather liked it, as we all do—and I
think he cultivated on smug/er air. If he had
any previous erratic experience, it was in the
progressive stages I told. you of.
At his boarding-house he chanced occasion
ally to meet a young girl, who seemed to pos
sess many of. the attributes he had admired
consectively in others. She was simple and
unsophisticated, and supported herself by giv
ing music lessons. With his wholesale admi—
ration of the sex, Dick became interested in
her after a fashion. She did not object to his
attentions. Miss Mary was flattered and
pleased with Dick. And Dick did not exactly
love her, for he had doubted the existence of
the passion. But he felt it was time to get
married. He was getting old. Here .was a
good chance for him to test his skeptical theory
in regard to love. If he really believed there
was no such thing he might as well marry 715“
as any one. She would undoubtedly make
him a good wife. And she was poor, and that
was the strong lever that stirred the romatic
foundation of Dick’s heart. He could give her
a position. She must love him—~he could give
her happiness ! He could, in short, make n~—
n—yes, that was it, a—sacrzjficc.’ ‘
They were married quietly. There were
501118 friends of Dick’s present, but the bride
was an orphan, and her only relative, a.
younger sister, lived in a. distant State. He
took her to a rich and luxurious home. He
felt that. he had done. the correct and gentle
manly thing in every respect, and when he had
led her into the softly carpeted parlor of their
fashionable bower, it was withafeeling of pla
cid self-congratulation. The foolish simple
bride threw her arms about her husband’s neck,
and said to him.
“oh, Dick! how can I thank you ‘2”
Dick was touched and felt an imaginary halo
suspend itself over his Olympian brow?
There were no transports with Dick. The
honey moon passed quietly and evenly. He had

dream, if one had ever fashioned and shaped
his inner man, was deceitful, and he knew I}-

There was something wanted. He woulfi never
let her know it; oh no, it would spoil 1139 PEI“
fect sacrifice. But perhaps it was this con
sciousness that placed a deeper chasm betmxt
his wifels afl’ections and his own. _He felt he
had another-’3 happiness in his keepmgnand he
resolved to guard it as preciously _as his own.
This state of afl‘airs, as you may readilyzmagme,
though very ‘romantic, put him upon a forced
and unnatural behavior, which added another
million of :miles to that awful chasm. And
Dick sometimes found himself sitting opposite
to her, in their comfortable parlor, and wonder
ing if that strange woman was his wife. There
was the contour of the face, that. had haunted
his boyish visions; there was the some soft voice
and winning accent—and yet why wasn’t be
happier ? why wasn’t- he grateful '2 what, was the
meaning of that awful barrier that lay between
them? Why was he doing the Spartan busi
ness, and all that sort of thing?. He would
get up at such times and go over to the neat.
womanly figure, and gaze into her eyes and
kiss her red lips, and say, “Are you happy, my
dear ?” and then she would look back an an
swer, and Would.say, “Are you not Dick '3"
Dick would say emphatically, “Certainly, my
dem- l” with a great deal of unnecessary decis
-10!]. '
A time came when Dick’s wife was not able
to visit much, and kept her room a great deal;
and Dick learned that this younger sister of
her-’3 would visit. her, and that. for certain rea
sons, the visit would be very opportune; and
it was with that strange 1i utter which the con
sciousness of a coming event occasions in the
breast of the expectant parent, that Dick was
Sitting by himself in the little library before
the fire. Her chair—for She was wont to bring
her work in and sit with her husband while he
read—was standing opposite, and her work
basket was stilléupon the table. He was trying
to analyze the strange sensations ‘ that. were
thronging upon him, :1 looking forward to a.
happier state of being, when it. occurred to him
that he might assist his reflections by smoking.
He drew out his cigar case, bit 011' the end of a
fragrant Havana, and looked around for a bit
of paper to light it. His eye fell on his wife’s
basket. There was a white paper sticking out
of a. chaotic scramble of various colored frag
ments. He took it up. It seemed to be a. letter.
He was about replacing it when his eye caught
a passage containing his own name.
I have‘ told you that Dick was the soul of
honor. If he had known that his wife didn’t
want. him to read that letter, he wouldn’t have
read it. If he had imagined for}; moment that.
it contained anything he shouldn’t read, or any
secret of his wife’s, he would have set and
blinked at it all day, or perhaps have walked
upstairs with it and handed it to her saying:
“My dear, you have left it letter below. I
don’t know what. it is, or who it’s from,” and
would' have departed dramatically. But not
knowing what it was, you see, he coolly read
on, commencing at the paragraph containing
his name, as. I do:
“I am sorry to hear that. Dick is not all that
you fondly imagined. Don’t ask me, dear, for
advice; it is better you should leave all to time
and your own {act «ml judgment. I think that
no one is capable of mediating between it wife’s
afi‘ections and her husband’s—even a sister. I
would say that you ought to have weighed all
this before you bound yourself to one whom
you think is not. worthy of your affections ; but
we cannot recall what is post. No ! indeed.—
You say that your Dick has a generous heart,
and in this world, dear! you know that (his
ought to make up for other defects, even if he
be dull and stupid .-' (Oh! you should have seen
Dick’s face at this moment 1) Your sacrifice I
know was a great one, but men cannot appre
ciate the sacrifices we make. No, never. But
I will soon be with youymy dearest sister, and
perhaps I may be able to do something for you,
with this queer being whom you have taken
for a. husband. Don’t think lam hard-hearted
or unsisterly, either, if I can’t understand your
feelings. I never saw the man yet that'l could
whimper over or feel bad about. ‘Good bye,’
dear, till I see you, which will be soon!
"Your atfcctionate sister,
“’Tlr.”
“Dull and stupid!” lie “dull and stupid I”
he, Dick—the delight of select oircles! the
witty, fascinating, agreeable, gossippy Dick!
“Dull and stupidf’ and her sacrifice—her
“great sacrifice 2” What sacrifice? When ?
How? Where? And this was the return—~this
was the result of his noble, Roman-like con
duct; this was eventuaiing from his deeply del
icate, poetical, gentleman-like treatment.—
This was. her opinion of him—the opinion of
the wife of his bosom, the‘partner of his joys,
the Sharer of his wealth, his property—the wo
man henna! not loved I “Dullvand stupid!”
why the woman was a fool, they are both fools!
they were hypocrites! they were ingrates!
they were—women! .
He sank back in his chair. Then he started
up and threw the letter in the grate, and care
fully repleced his cigar in the basket. Then he
burnt his fingers recovering the letter. Then
he put his hands upon his head, his elbows
upon his knees, and in that position reflected.
He thought he had better not say anything
about it. 'He was in for a sacrifice and the
biggerthe better. “Ho, there! Bring in some
faggots and lay ’em round the stake ! Pour on
the oil and wine and give the brands another
poke! Here’s the spectacle ofa Christian young
husband immolated on the hymencnl altar!
Hurrah ! Fetch on your faggots !”
“Dull and stupid! He liked that!” Well,
he’d let them see his dullness and stupidity,
hereafter, with a. vengeance. And that young
sister, indeed! A snub-nosed, freckled-faced,
hoydenish thing, with braids and mineing
ways, and—daring to talk about him, Dick!
the man of the world! the blasc man, as dull
and Stupid! Well, he’d like to have his friend
Wobbles hear that ; how he’d laugh! A! them '2
Of course. Certainly at. them. Butthen he’d
better not say anything about it~——on his wife's
account.
When he wentup stairs to his wife‘s chamber
he made some light, trifling, joeulnr remark
which I regret has not reached me, but which
had the efi‘ect of making his Mary open her
eyes in meek astonishment. “Dull and stupid 3”
thought Dick; “indeed I”
There was some little preparation a week af
terward; and one day Dick, coming home, saw
some boxes in the hall and several mysterious
looking bundles laying about, and other signs
which seemed to indicate that his wife’s Sister

He thought at. first. that he_wquld try the digni~

woman with a sense of her prevmns irreverence.
'But then he wished to establish :1 character the
opposite of those fidJeclives which yet swam
before his eyes. “Dull and stupid !” and “dig

Dick was taken aback, He looked down at
the beautiful and girlish figure, and felt—he,
the “blase” man—awkward and embarrassed.
His lips syllabled a few commonplaces, but the
breath of life seemed to have left. him. He

“ Oh, dear! Idid so long to see you. Why
didn’t you come up stairs. I Was afraid you
were angry at something. You are not at all
like Mary‘s hquund. I know'l shell likeyou.
You’re my brother, you know, and I never had

much. You don‘t say anything! Why, what‘s
the matter? Why you look pale! You're sick!
Mary! Good gracious 1”
Poor Dick! Poor, poor Dick. It was over.
He was better now. Yes, he was calm, too~
he saw it all. She was sitting before him, on
the very seat his wife had occupied ; the same
contour of features; the same outline; the
some figure—but oh! that indefineble expres
sion and this strange feeling and thrilling.—
The vision of his past life, the dreams of his
youth, were looking out of the anxious, pretty
glance that . met his own. Oh ! rash, hasty,
inconsiderate fool! He had stopped one step
short of perfect affinity. This was his wife’s
sister! wife’s sister! 0h ! Heavens! he had
married his wife’s sister! This was his wife!
The sacrifice was complete.
No, not complete! It remained for him to
smother the fires of his new passion in the dead
ashes_of his past. life. It. was at once his tor
ture and his crown to minister to the invalid
wants of the real Wife of his manhood in com
pany with the fair young ideal wife of his
youth.” It was his great glory to feel the touch
of her warm, soil; hand on his brow, when he
sometimes sat alone distractedly, groping
blindly in the darkness for some clue to lead
him away from the pitfalls that beset his path.
He could not help seeing that he had awakened
a. sympathetic interest in “Tip’s” young heart
——-a feeling as yet undefined and holy in its
nameless orphan purity. But the sacrifice was
not complete. '
They were sitting alone in the little library.
and she sat opposite to him in his wife’s chair.
He raised his eyes and she drew her chair
nearer to him, and in her simple, arlless way,
asked his forgiveness !
“For what Tip ‘2”
“Well, never mind; say you’ll forgive me.
I once thought worse of you than you deserved,
and I may have said something to Mary; did
she tell you anything ”I"
Dick could conscientiously wave a. negative.
“I’ve changed my mind since, brother!
You’re so different. I’m surel know of no one
who could make Max-y happier than you. I
judge so by What I have seen of you and by my
own feelings, for you know, Mary and I are all
that are left of our family. Do you think we
are alike ? I think that I shall never marry,
for I could not find another like Mary's hus
bund.”
The artless simplicity and genuine sincerity
of poor Tip extorted a groan from Dick.
Instantly she was at his side. “ Don't worry,
brother, about Mary, she will be better soon.
I know how you feel, dear,.o.nd it. must be a
oomlort to Mary to know your nympathy.”
How shall I end my story, reader? Shall I'
say that Tip was again wrong; that Mary did.
not get better? That she lingered for a while,
and, striving to bring a feeble, immortal soul
into this earthly light, laid down her own dear
woman’s life. a.'l7villinnr sacrifice upon the altar.
Shall I say that Tip afid Dick stood by holding
her hands, when the first cry of the struggling
immortal heralded her way to the home itjust
had quitted? How that the poor motherless
child found a guardian angel in Tip?
How else can I marry Dick to his wife’s sis
ter ?
WHAT IS THE Ransom—lt is a melancholy
fact that not one lady ”in a. hundred, in these
United States, has fine or luxuriant twain-
Everybody is complaining of the loss of “wo—
man’s chief glory,” and wondering why on.
earth pomatums and hair-washes, oils and re
storatives, fail to bring it backf‘ns per adver
tisement.” We suspect there would be a
general exclammation of incredulity among the
gentlemen, did they but know what an immense
proportion of the tastefully arranged tresses
they behold on fair heads grew on somebody
else’s pate. Almost every one wedrs a “roll”
or “braid,” which comes from the hairdresser's,
and costs from five to twenty dollars. It is
disposed with consummate skill—you can not
distinguish the sly hair-pins that fasten on the
false decoration, yet there it 15, o tacit confes
sion that nature gives way to art.
“My hair will keep coming out, although ].
take the greatest pains with it.” sighs the
fashionable belle; “I dontsee what the trouble
is l”
There are several “troubles,” first and fore
most. among which is the expensive “roll” it
self. Any hair dresser will tell you that the
weight. and pressure of this heavy mass of
false hair, with the heat it induces around
the head. is highly prejudicial to the growth
and welfare of the real hair. If you must
wear a. roll, let it be as seldom as possible.—
Whenevcr you can dispense with it, do so. Let
its place be supplied as often as practicable
with a light. headdress, secured with as few
hair-pins as will support. it. These high are
feerfully destructive to the heir, cutting and
wearing it to an incredible degree. Gutte
percha. hair-pins are the best, and even these
should be limited in number.
All sorts of pomutumg, oils and preparations,
had better be let alone. There is no use in
soaking the skin of the head in grease, as is
oft-en done. If the hair is harsh and dry,
custor-oil, perfumed, is the best application,
but the scalp itself should not be saturated.—
Washing the head thoroughly in fair water,
once a week, will be found very beneficial.
Bodily health is almost essential to the natu
ral growth of the hair. Nothing indicates the
progress of sickness so plainly as the dry, dead
look of the hair; and if our American ladies
want lovely, luxuriant tx'esses, they must avoid
heated rooms. late hours, and fashionable dis
sipation. There is no help for it—nature will
avenge any infringement on her laws, and the
sooner we become thoroughly convinced 'of this
fact, the better for us.
There is no ornament half so becoming to it
female head as thick, beautiful nair. It needs
no decoration beyond a natural flower or two.
Nets, diamond sprays, tiaras of pearl, are use
less—it is like “painting the lily” to wear them.
Remember this, girls, and take every precau
tiori to preserve this exquisite ornament of
Nature’s manufacture. Once gone, it isfim‘d
to coax back again!
