" To-morrow--no, to-day," I answered, as we glanced down the page together. "This is the thirteenth. She will be here on the evening express." "That suit of Englesby's comes on at one o'clock," ho said taking up his hat, "and I fear we shall not be through at five. But, never mind. I will manage to meet her at the depot, somehow. I am glad she is coining, Barbara. You are so lonely sometimes, and she is a very superior woman. I am sure you will like her." He kissed me,hfistily and huriiedaway to the office. Heaven save the mark 1 If there was anything on earth that I did not like, it was a " superior" woman Put there was little time for thinking or regretting. A wail from the nursery summoned me up stairs to the relief - of my good, faithful Hannah, who was trying to; quiet the baby, while ltei thoughts were, in the kitchen. " I'm glad you've come, Miss Barbara," she said. I shall be only Miss Barbara to her—the child she had hived and tended—as long as we both live. ' This boy's a-teethin', just as true as preachin'. He'd never worry so if he wa'ut. But take him, Child, for the bread is riz, and it's time it was in the oven.'" It was a hot, breathless morning. Sitting down by the window -with little Arne on my lap, I re-toad Miss Delama ter's letter, lingering longest ov.er,this passage : "Do give my love to your wife. I remember hearing the young men rave about Barbara Wilson's grace and beauty years' ago. Now that you have crowned `her queen of hearts, I am doubly anxious to know hen"- I doubted whether the fair writer had olden so much as heard of me until the ..day when, standing - lioneath the shadow 'of St. Peters, with the Blue skies of Rome above her head, and, its storied hills around her, news had„,come to her that her old friend and companion bad taken unto himself a wife.. As for the raving about my "glace and- beauty,'' in the-quiet country home hero Walter had found me, that mode of procedure 'Was hot the fashion. Pothaps I did my coming gue - st great injustice, but I felt as if the pretty speech was made simply for effect; and I fear it hardened my, heart against her. Itried to feel that there was a lack of true, womanly feeling indicated by. the approaching visit. Bow could, She theta thrust her unWelcome ,presence—un welcome at least to me—into our home? But a moment of reflection showed me the absurdity of that idea. Walter's father had-been her .guardian. As boy and-girl they ) had played together, sung together, studied together. Whether or no any warmer feeling had over found 'lodging in her heart,there could bo little doubt that sho, cherished a for him some thing akin to sisterly affection. It was right that, after her live years-of travel, she should, if sho- wished, come to his home ac' a brother's, and' find welcome there. • And as for inygo . od, no,hlaitruc-hcarted husband, could I not trust him?

She was coming to make us a visit ; so said the letter that my husband, Walter Etheridge, of the 'law firm of Masons & Etheridge, tossed carelessly into my lap, after a rapid glance at the daintly written pages. Sheiwas Miriam Delamator. Auff Miriam Dolapater was my husbaniPs first love. Now Walter and I had never talked about the matter. How could I talk about it? I would not. More than once, when we were first married, he had spoken to me of his 'father's ward, with whom he had grown up. froin boyhood, and who had been almost as aer , sister t him. But my lip, even during our blissful honeymoon, had curled incredu lously mite said this, and I had speedily tuniikd the conversation into a different channel. But I knew all about it, nevertheless. I had learned that long before ho had. known me his love bad bowed at the shrine of this stately maiden, this peer less, blonde beauty. I knew that I had not been his first love, and that this girl, this Miriam Delamater had been. 'And now she was coming to see us I wonder if Walter did not perceive that I was troubled, and if-ho did not share in some degree, as a man's nature might, my °A' unrest? But, no.

No ray •of light should visit him ; no breath of air should strengthen and vivify him; no voice should -break the silence to which I committed him: Ho should die there, unshrined and unanoled. Allio betook himself to,his nap at last, and then "on hospitable thoughts in tent," I went in pursuit of Hannah. The dark mood of the early morning , had passed, and I flew about my small house only intent upon making it fair and presentable to eyes that had 'seen so much, and a pleasant resting-place for feet that had wandered so far. The guest chamber was swept and garnished, the parlor was made fresh with the soft, wandering airs of _summer, and thp breath of roses and heliotropes. The baby was tied into his high chair, and pounded away upon the kitchen table, while Hantiah and - I tossed - together light, golden drifts of sponge cake, and mdulded- jellies-clean-as -amber. We roasted a chicken—and ourselves as well —that it might be ready to slice for supper ; and' through mach tribulation and stress of„body and mind, I prepared a salad after an approved French recipe that I had never tried before. is apgoic . .cuts, that lora, labor of mine could supply. "Look your prettiest to-night, Ba bette," Walter had said, when he went out after dinner ; I'll have Miriam here by a quarter past.five at the latest." I meant that evening, of all evenings of the year, to leave myself ample time to make such a toilette as my husband best liked.. But the moments flew apace, and when at last I took Allie and went up to my chamber it was long after fotir. The child was uncomfortably warm. and tired from his long confinement in the high chair, and his little frock was creased and soiled, for Hannah had given him all sorts of things to play with. Hastily stripping him I gave him a bath, arrayed him in fresh garments, and brushed the 71den brown hair that coiled about my 11 gers in a host of - tiny curls. Then I placed him on the bed to keep him out of farm's way, and began my own preparations. But - master Allie iscd his voice in loud lamentation and 'refused to be comforted, although I gave him my best bfacelets and my watch chain. He had been left to his own devices long enough, he thought, and no coaxing or cajolery sufficed to restore his good humor. Icalled Hannah. " pear me, Miss Barbara ! I'd come if I -could, goodness knows. But the biscuits'll burn to cinders if I leave 'em, and besides, I'm picking over the rasp berries for tea." "Then you must cry, Allie," I said desperately, as I turned to my dressing tAle, and tried to arrange my hair with/ hands that trembled so that I could not perform my task. Braids would not stay in place, and curls wore incorrigible. It was just ton minutes past five, and I was still to my dressing-sack, with my hair upon my shoulders, after a_tbird attempt to pit up the heavy mass, when I heard the sound of wheels. A moment more, and there were footsteps in the hall below, and my husband's voice called, "Barbara 1 Barbara" Allie screamed louder than over, and I answered as well as I could from out the din, " I will come presently—as soon as can." I heard the two walk into the parlor, and in another. minute Walter came bounding up stairs_ two steps at a time. llis checks were flushod„Mid his eyes bright with some bidden joy. "Why, what's the matter ?" he asked as his eyes took in the - state of the case ; "anybody sick? Is Hannah dead? or what's up?" "I am tired to death,". I answered and Allie is cross as the mischief, and Hannah's busy, and—l am not dressed," "So 1 see," lie said, curtly. "You ought to have begun earlier, instead of fusslug so long in that confounded kitchen."

I seemed to myself a Mons child beside her—a child physically, Intellect' ually and spiritually. The shaded lamp was turned low until the room was filled with a soft radiance almost like moonlight.

Ido not know what she wore—some .'diapha nous tissue woven of mist and sunbeams, I think ; but it-was worn with a careless ease and grace that made it seem a part of herself. Walter sot in a corner of the sofa near her, and their talk wandered back to his father's beim and the- days when they were children together. Her words vivi fied and glorified whatever the .tim hed_• and their past, warmed into life' by her breath, seemed as beautiful as a dream. The present paled before it. lit, I withdrew to a table in a far corner of the room, and seemed to busy Myself with the last Scribner Do not think that they purposely overlooked me, or ignored my presence. But they talked of per sons and things of which I knew noth ing, and so, foolishly, perhaps,- I- glided away from them. But I could not read.

I stole softly out ef the room and `up stairs to my chamber, while they wore wrapped in some dream of Michael Angello or Raphael. ,Taking a lamp I walked straight to the largo mirror that overhung my dressing table. Waiter had been wont to call - me his gipsy queen —his brown-eyed fairy and the like. I 'had been praised, sometimes, for '1 cer tain dark, oriental style of beau! and I had been glad, for his sake. Th. ~) : "1-s. little and brown, with small, it ,far features. I needed the cosmetic, of joy ; and to-night there was no color in my cheeks, no lustre in my oyes. I looked old - and*Worn and faded ; and that wo man down stairs, with her eloquent words, her witching glances, her peerless beauty, was weaving her old spells about my husband, and luring his heart away from me. If I looked old then, I must have been a perfect Methuselah—or whatever the feminine of that venerable name 'may be —before the first of September. Miriam Delamater's presence chafed and bar- I rased me beyond measure. There was nothing in her sayings or doings-that I could deliberately, and in the broad, clear light of common sense, - quarrel with. She and my husband. met upon the frank, free footing of old friends. Surely I had no right to find fault with that I And it was not her fault that she was faire•, calmer, stronger and more self-poised than I. 'She was not to blame that the wondrous charm ,of hot voice, her face and her manner was so potent ; or that her grace, her quiet self-posses sion, her rare conversational powers op pressed me with a' vague, yet painful sense of inferiority, and made me silent and constrained in her presence;', It was only that I was weak and foolish, inca pable of sustainiqg myself, and of com manding my husband's admiration. Thus I reasoned with myself in, the night-watches, and strove.to be generous if not content. But my heart rebelled. This guest of ours, whether_ wilfully or do, did come in betwoon niy husband, and myself. There worn no more long, confidential talks for us in the still twilights; them were no sweet, familiar words at noon day ; there were no brisk rides or walks in the breezy Mol'hiugs. ---Ear4yhorm±er we were, there was Miss Dolamator ; and she was born a diplomat and belloved in monopolies, - Them•too, I Was physically worn and vrotcheo. The addition of this one member to my household added wonder fully to" my „domestic 'care and labors. Miriam pelareater had the art of appear ing exceedingly 'helpful—even officiously so. lt do not doubt in the least that Walter thought her a great assistaiMe to me, and blessed her for her, sisterly aid and counsel. -But the truth was,, she was utterly helpless and inefficient when it came to the practical, daily recurring needs of life. To make a bad matter worse, she' did not know tide, and was always volunteering (in Walter's pre , Bence, mind you) to do some stupendous deed in the housekeeping or culinary lino, which, when once begun, Hannah or I teas forced ,to finish. For zny lady was sure to become exhansted before she had made an end of her beginnings, while She Claimed credit for having done whatever blio had undertaken. - baring all these dreary weeks, Walter was never, unkind or impatient with me.

Sometimes it wt io woman's own fault that she was not brighter and fresher. Sometimes a spirit of dumb submission, that was yet far from being patience, took possession of her, and she would not strive to make herself as 'charming'as she could, and as she had through all her wedded life till now. Sonietimes she was silent when she might have talked well and wisely—as well, perhaps, as the more brilliant woman whom she allowed to .eclipso her. Some times she willfully threw her husband in the way of temptation by being still, and cold, and passive herself, when this old friend of his was most attractive, most winning. I see all this now, but I did -not see it then, only felt that I Was wretched, and I believed that Miriam Dolamater was the cause. Ono morning, at the breakfast table, allusion was mado to Bryant's pearl to the Fringed . Gentian ; and Miss Dela- Mater remarked- that she-did not know the slower. "What) not know the Fringed Tient - iiM?" said Walter turning round quickly. " Well, I advise you to make its acquaintance before you go 'flower hunting again 'on .the Alps and the A Lwill_bring_you_a.blosaom_ to-night,- if I can find one. It must be in bloom by this time." "No, thank you," she answered,. carelessly. "If I see the flower at, all I want to see it in its native haunts. No single blossom for me, it you please." "Then what say you Barbara? Let us go tip to the head of the lake this afternoon, toward suuset, and we can reap a harvest of gentians. Moldon's woods must be filled with them." I did 'not particularly care to go ; but I had still enough common sense remain- Tug to know that the walk, and the sweet, fresh evening air would do me good. So we wont, all three of us. I am not going to describe our walk on the Fthores of that lovely lac, the glorious sunset sky, the opaline gleams, the tints of purple and rose, amethyst and amber, that glorified cloud and wavelet and mountain. Even my pel'- turbed spirit felt that "it was good to be there." We lingered so long that when we entered the woods the sun was slowly sinking—a globe of fire behind the crest of Mount Victory. The first frost had come, and the leaves were beginning' to_fall. But bright with "heaven's-own blue," the gentian "looked' through, its fringes to the sky" frbm every damp and shaded nook. We found them on every side of us ; and wandered on, lured by seemingly richer specimens just beyond, until we were checked by the gathering darkness. I looked up, and a_single star shone down upon me through a parting in the trees. But even as I looked a dense cloud swept over it. Walter and &Ibis Delamater were at a little distance. Ho was showing her a spot where the Mafflowers were largest and sweetest in the spring. I called to' them. " Wolfer 1 Miriam I" I said. "It is getting late, and I believe His going to rain. Wo must hurry home." They came back to mo hastily. But before we had taken a dozen stops the wind swayed the tops of the pine trees, a sullen, angry roar came from the deeper woods into which we had not penetrated t and it became evident that ono of the sudden, violent tempests of autumn was upon us. Wo hurried , on, while it grew darker and darker every moment, and the sough ing and shrieking of the wind and the 'creaking of itelossing bondlis itised bewildering tumult about us. Taking a hand of each, Walter tried to urge us forward. But our feet became entangled in the breaks and underbrush, and we, made slow progress. '" Hark ! is that thunder?" said Miriam, under her breath. "It is too cold fora thunder storm," Walter answered. "It is only the wind." Even as fib spoke a fearful gust Oro our hands apart.. Denser darkness— darkness that could be folt—foil about us; we could not see au inch before our faces—wc could not see each other. Suddenly the air was filled with flying particles, and crash after crash resounded from the forest. We wore iu the very path of the tornado. Great _trees fell prostr4to to the right arid to the loft of us, and' huge branches wore borne like straws on the wings of the tempest. • Stricken to the ground, crouching there in dim extremity, we waited for what might come. , But high-above the roar of the ele ments, the fierce beating of the . storm, I heard my husband's voice.' • —• • "Barbara 1 Barbara I Barbara I" hoard it through-the atirknoss, and could not anrer Barbara—not Miriam—min in that supreme moment when soul spoke to soul, and wo stood :upon the confines bf the other world. *•* * * When I returned to consciousness I was in a darkened room, ,111(i there wore two or three strange women about mo. lAried to move my loft arm. but could not..

We do not purpose to re-write for tho reade , s of tho Telegraph tho circum stances of the crime, on the charge of the commission of which Mr Wharton stands arraigned. They are uow then known, and the of tho story would be but a tedious longthoning of our article. But our solo purpose is to lay before tho public some facts that aro not known, facts culled by laborious search in private avenues of informa tion, and which, combined, contain to a 'certain oxtont the privato - lifo of Mrs. Wharton, and throw a groat light upon what will most necessarily bo' her only 'ground of dofouso. Ellen G. Nugent was Wm, in this city about forty years ago. Her father, George Nagent, was a most prominent and successful merchant of the day, do. ing a large importing business of fine goods; silks, etc. In character ho was' strictly - upright and honorable, living as it were, by a sot rule of firmness and Justice to all. His daughter, Ellen, was. by, hie second wife, ho having been pre viously married to a Chtban woman, by whom ho had two children, both boys, ono of whom is now a iospeotablo and prosporous member of our community. There were six other children :by tho doeond.wife, four sons and two daugh. tors. Both of . tho daughters are mar rlod and living in tho city. ' - It is somewhat difficult to ascertain who Ellen's mother was, speaking in a family sense. She appehrs to have been a very beautiful, and at the same time a very obscure girl, living here in Phila delphia. But as' it is not particularly With Mrs: Nugent or the other children that we have to do, it does not matter much ; but we will remark, 07b passant, that Mrs. Nugent has only been dead few years, having outlived her husband, who died about the time of the great California gold excitement. And now having cleared the loom of our story' of efoss-threadi, we will pro ceed to weave the narrative of Mrs. Wharton's' life, whose most exciting Seem has just taken place in Eutaw street, Baltimore. Mr. Nugent did not remain long in philadelphia after the birth of his daugh ter Ellen, or Nellie. Ho had been very successful in businesg, - and finally con cluded to retire, which he did, purchas.: ing a lovely place about a mile this side of Conshohocken, at a spot called Gulf Mills, wheie, with his family growing up around him, ho settled down to pass the closing hours of his life, amid the sylvan scenery of our beautiful Schuyl kill's banks. - Of all the.children his daughter Nellie was his idol. • He lavished every atten tion upon her that money could com mand.' Especial pains were taken with her education, and she spent a considera ble-limn= Bishop Doane's beminary, in ithrlitigtop, New Jersey. And now the real interest of - . our story commences. Nellie has grown up under our pencil into beautiful womanhood, and her ma ture character is beginning to determine itself. Tho scene is the Gulf Nills House, and the time is about twenty-five 'years ago. By the universal voice of those who knew her at this time, she was certainly a most lovely girl. About twenty years of age, of slender and graceful, yet queenly bearing, with magnificent jet black lair of unusual length, dark eyes, and fairy complexion—such was her phySical beauty. But those who knew her well say that that was the least of her attractions. It was rather her en gaging manner, her winning ways, her dashing, inspiring disposition that bound captive at the chariot wheel of Cupid so many of her'male acquaintances. It was about this time that she began to develop a passion that has ever since been inordinate with her, and that'was the desire to dress magnificently. Her father spared no expense to gratify her slightest whim, and ga% o )ler money enough to clothe a duchess. As a con sequence, there was no more regular at tendant at the thou fashionable bazaars of our city than Miss Nugent, whose carriage got to be familiarly known, no doubt, to the salesmen within. As we have said, her father allowed her to carry the purge of a duchess, and consequently the reader can judge of his surprise when outside bills that had . been contracted by his daughter to the amount of thousands of dollars were sent into him for . settlement, and all this heavy running r intofdebt had taken place in a comparatively short time, and with out the slightest premonitory intelli gence. Where had the money, gone ? Hardly upon herself, since, although always elegantly attired in obedience to Fash ion's latest mandate, this debt excess 'was too absurdly largo to be answered for on the ground of personal expendi ture. But a little investigation showed. It wailound that this - money had been expended for laces, silks, jewelry, etc., eto., which v;re lavished with an im perial hand as presents upon her young friends. , This was certainly a little eccentric, and quite enough to cause the eye-brow to 'raise. Beautiful young ladies do not generally run their fathers into debt simply to give away, indiscriminately, costly gifts: But something more strange was yet to come. The debts were paid by the father, and the current of events drifted along toward.; the most remarka ble feature of this remarkable woman's life. ~, , As we have intimated, and as may naturally be supposed, Miss Nellie was the• brilliant centre of a large circle of people of the ligit class in that vicinity. So that when, shortly after, each and all of then' received an invitation to the marriage of that young lady, you thay be sure it created some little stir Of excite ment. In the first place, it was so en tirely unexpected that it almost _took away the people's breath ; and secondly, what caused the most surprise was, that the happy man. had not been selected from the large number of country gal lants of wealth, and pdsitlon who con stantly surrounded !ter, but was a Mr. Williamson, of the city, who-was but a casual visitor, and whosit matrimonial attentions had not be . en suspected in the least. It appears,talso, that be had been so indiscreet and impolite as not even to, have spoken to Mr. Nugent...about it,' and knowing the character of that old time gentleman, we aro somewhat sur prised that the' marriage was allowed to go on, did we not also know that what ever his daughter Nellie had set her heart upon accomplishing she Could most certainly do, especially where the • father's consent was only to be 'Well, nt length the. auspiqous liour rolled round, and all the invited guests assembled at the Nugent mansion to witness the marriage of the beauty. Great preparations had boon made for the event. Mr. Nugent was determined that the daughter who was queen of his heart, should be mated. in a regal man ner. NeVer had the young girl ,looked I 50 lovely, nsAhl the bride, seated in her satin and lace, 'with, her attendant maids about her, and waiting, with the love light in her eyes, for the happy groom. It Was now nearly the hour for the cere mony; and-.still, ho had not come. " Whore is Mr.' Williamson?" and " Why don't lie oomo t' wore now fro quently,asked by those who were pros- , ent. The hour at which the nuptial knot was to have boon tied struck-with a dismal clang, and yet no bridegroom. The minister was there with book and gown, the guests were there, the beauti ful bride wail there, and everything was waiting for the appearance of thestardy gentleman from the city. 'The father's lirow began to darken, and the bride's cheeks to pale.notlier Alumni hour were' - away, anal ll: '. its death-knell was tolled by the Obeli, and still 41ho ES =I TEnTlBi $2.00 n year. IN AIVANCY $2.50 It not paid rrllhin the year Another hour, and' still no groom. Possibly ho may have mot with an ac cident; let messengers be sent." • And messengers were sent in haste, while the guests sat in silence; and the bride, now thoroughly convinced that her lover Was false, raved and sobbed like ono mad. The minutes flew away on wings of lead until the messengers returned, who, instead of bringing with them - Mr. Will iamson, or announcing at once some reasonable cause for his non-appearance, beckoned the father mysteriously apart, and whispered in . his ear. The news could notAie kept secret, and in a mo ment it was known. hfr. Williamson. hod not contracted the 2hartiagq,„oo 'knew-Whiny about it. Slowly and sadly, as if from a funeral, the guests departed, glancing askantly-at the bride, who sat weeping before them, and shaking their heads significantly. This was, certainly, the maddest fretik that it is possible for a young .„lady to commit, and the accident roads like a chapter from Mrs. Southworth. Sub sequent investigation showed, conclu sively that the marriage had -not the slightest foundation; so far as any inten tion 9f Mr. Williamson was coneenied, and taking this factliito consideration, it isnot strange that *pie now began to speak mysteriously - about 'the young lady, and to intimate forcibly that something was wrong in her head. This bitter suspicion began now to sha e selfriit7i the solemnity of a fact in the mind of Mr. Nugent, and after careful pondering of the matter, lt was resolved to have Nellie removed to an'asylum for the insane. ' As a key to subsequent events, it Mil) be presumed that she knew the 'Men tioms of her family at the time. It wanted but a day ortwo of the execution of the asylhm prgject; when one Morn ing it was found that the beautiful bird( had flown in the night from the paternal nest. But in a very little while the father received intelligence that his daughter had eloped with young Lieu tenant Harry W. Wharton, had pro ceeded,witff him to Philadelphia, had been there married, and that now, as Mr. and Mrs. Harry W. Wharton, they were living at Jones' Hotel, in Chestnut street, above Sixth, just where the office of the. German Democrat now stands. This was almost as strange and unac countable a movement as the burlesque marriage, and caused a great deal of comment. Although of acquaintance there had been considerable between the parties, of courtship there has been little or none, and, furthermore, at the time of the elopement and marriage the —young lieutenant knew full well that his lovely bride was intended by her friends for a temporary seclusion in a mad-house. But the runaway condo had not been long from home until they received as suiances of forgiyeness, and.returned to the house at Gulf Mills. 'They also fora time lived at Norristown, and in Phila delphia again. It wasn't long after mar riage until Mrs. Wharten was in finan cial difficulties again, which were again settled by her indulgent father. After this, her husband, who was cap. tain now, was stationed at Fort Kearney for some five or seven years. Mrs Whar ton accompanied him, as indeed she did n all his wanderings, even going down into Texas with him on one occasion. But while out upon the Plains the eye.. sight of the Captain had become dotec- tivo, and ho and his wife returned again. They put up at Glass & Co's Hotel, on Chestnut street, during such time as the Captain was under the hands of an oeu list. At the breaking ont of the war the Captain got a commission in a Delhwaro regiment, and eventually *as appointed general disbursing agent, having his headquarters in Eutaw strpot, Ealti- more, right near his house in ," Hamil ton Place." With the exeeption.pf short time they lived in , Washington, this was his homo up to his mysterious death in 1867. Such are - sonic- of—the salient points and bold outlines in the career of this most remarkable woman. Notwith standing the growing suspicion that she poisoned her husband and son, it is the universal testimony that never was there a more loving wife.
