Glendenning's Husband. You remember Hawthorne's story of Wakefield, a man mere oddity and whimr after parting from his wife to go on a short journey, vanished into -the wilderness, of London and never returned to her, although he lived so near that he watched curiously her comings and her goings year after year; seeing her change from a happy matron into a melancholy and so on into cheerless age. Other things have happened quite as strange, perhaps stranger. Let me tell you the true story of Mrs. Glendenning's husband.

Agnes Holt met Hugh Gleudeuniug before she left school they fell in love, were engaged, and by the time, she was eighteen she married him. He was a young fellow of twenty-six, and his most strikine Qualities seemed to be good looks and impetuosity of tempera ment, in person he was of average height, his figure good, his face remark- Ul 1 i 11 i 1 auiy uiuiuFuinc, uis nair ana eyes uarx, his complexion pale. Agnes was a graceful creature, with blue, bash- ul eyes and the most charmicg smile in the. world. In speech she was curiously reserved, and rarely expressed herself freely.

One of the discomforts of the season of her: engagement was that Hugh constantly pressed her for an ample confession of love, which she would never make in words by more than a quiet assent when he demanded if she loved "him. She hoped and ex pected that after marriage he would be less persistent, and more ready to take for granted while he, on his side, looked forward to' wedlock with a belief that, once a wife, Agnes would no longer torture him with her evasions and denial', but tell him with the same freedom and eloquence which he used himself the whole story of her passion for him. The two probably loved each other equally, but their temperaments were too powerfully contrasted td make mutual understanding possible. Agnes was slow, puritanical, and, however faithful and Btrong in feeling, utterly destitute of spontaneity; while Hugh was quick, ardent, and given tothe most powerful Expression of whatever feeling or mood came uppermost. They had been married a month when business arrangements compelled Hugh to go to Englacd, and he insisted on taking his wife.

She yielded, but he inclinations were against the journeyr; she disliked to leave her family, and was, besides, in great fear of the sea She was melancholy and nervous in carting from her friends, and for the hrst three days on the ocean spent the entire time in tears. Hugh could not understand her terror of the water, and felt, besides, that she was usipg him ill in feeling the least reluctance at severing her connection with her old home. He tortured her with questions. Did she love him Did she trust him? If she loved him, if she trusted him, how could she help being glad to accompany 'him anywhere- on" the wide earth? These demands, incessantly, repeated, urged and pressed, wore upon 'the young wife she knew they were actuated by a love which jealously demanded everything from her, but they developed a sort of coldness, and perverse ness in her mind. On one occasion, when Hush asked if she really loved him, she replied, listlessly, How can you expect me to love you when you wear out like this? I shall soon begin to hate you if you go on in wis way." These careless words produced the most profound impression upon Hugh's mind, and were the beginning of calamity.

He brooded over them, inces santly repeating then to himself. nes. who was a mere child at heart, and of a nature not wide enough fully to absorb the idea of another realized nothing of the suffering she had inflicted. Besides, Hugh's conduct began to estrange her. It became his wont to sit looking at her, his large eyes growing gradually cavernous in their depths and unearthly in their brilliancy.

At times he would exclaim, You do not love me. You will soon hate "me." At night he never seemed to sleep, and, hanging the lantern so that the rays fell on her face, blinding and dizzying her, he would sit on the: edge of the berth staring into her face, and mutteriog, She hates me The voyage was a short one in ten days they were in London, where they met friends, and for the three months which followed both Hugh and Agnes naa a comparatively nappy ana cheerful time. Agnes upbraided her husband for his absurdities, and he himself seemed to see his conduct in the light of aay, instead ot me luria triare or an insane, jealous dread. Still, married life was a palpable disappointment to Agnea, who began to feel that if she must bend her every faculty to the task of pleasing a man whose brain seemed in a whirl of false and distorted ideas concerning her and his love for her and her feelings for him, she should lose all respect for and belief in her husband. Toward the latter part -of the time they spent in London, her cousin, George Dana, a young man of twenty-two, whom she had known and loved like a brother from their infancy, happened to join their party.

'His coming was the si en si for the most violent outbreaks of jealousy on Hugh Glendenning's part. His mind seemed all astray; he was indifferent to the fact that ne placed his wife in a cruel and humiliating position; he persisted in the chimera that an easy habit of inti macy with her Cousin George was the expression of a love which far surpassed her; affection for himself. Again and again he taunted and insulted her, until she implored her cousin to. leave George Dana, little guessing Agnes's actual position with a man who was half insane, could not induced to go. He was not through with his sight-seeing le was interested in he races; in abort, he liked being in London at this time of the year better than being anywhere else in Europe, and he insisted on' remaining, and even felt a eort of boyish satisfaction in augmenting Glendenning's jealousy to the utmost by offers of attentions to the young wife.

ii a Yi it oy uie nnsi oi uiy nugn a uusiuess was concluded, and he took Agnes to France and Switzerland for a month, but the two were no longer on terms of affectionate intimacy. Hugh was. still jealous, and regarded his wife's steady coldness as a sign of the most chilling indifference. Agnes, on her side, felt that to maintain a semblance of buoyant happiness when she felt so dejected at the way she had been outraged, was to lessen her dignity as a woman. The two sailed from Havre for New York on, the 14th of August, 186-.

On the seventh day out, when they were half way across the ocean, Hugh Glenden-ning was suddenly missed. There was no trace of him on board the steamer, and. it was readily concluded that the rash and unhappy young man had thrown himself overboard. It was naturally the crudest possible trial for Agnes when she was forced to believe that her husband had committed She knew, too, that, he had been disheartened by her coldness; again and again she had repulsed him when he had tried to have an explanation with.her. Naturally, now that he was gone, all the generosity of her first love returned she forgot his faults, and remembered only her own she accused herself of cruelty and heartlessness, and sorrowed like, the most despairing of widows It seemed natural, under the circumstances, that Agnes should not only mourn, but mourn with peculiar hopelessness, for her young husband, who had been taken from her' only a few months after their wedding-day.

She sorrowed a year, two years, three years but by that time her family all began to make an effort to persuade her that it was wrong thus to continue oppressing not only herself but them with this long-past affliction. She was faithful and tenacious of impressions, but at the end of. four years she had resumed her ordinary dress and begun once more to mingle freely in the society of her mother's house. She was more attractive' than in her girlhood, and her story, too, was well known, and created a touching interest id her youth and beauty. She had several but not until George Dana returned did she allow any one to come near her as a lover.

George had, perhaps, always been fond of her he was, at any rate, now ardently in love with her. e-membering, as Agnes did, poor Glendenning's jealousy of the young man in London, it was with some mental disquietude and outward struggle that she allowed herself to yield to the feeling that she could love again, and love her Cousin George. However, his courtship was so far successful that she had promised to marry mm wnen sue nad passed the fifth anniversary of her husband's death. TMb date, which was to divide her old allegiance from her new, was the 20th of August, 18b-. I he day Eassed quietly in the pleasant country-ouse.

George Dana was to come in the and Agnes rose when she heard the train whistling at the bend, and said she would walk across the fields to meet her lover. Every one smiled, and no one ottered to accompany her. The family, consisting of the father and mother of Agnes, her three sisters and four of her married sister's children, all sat on the piazza waiting for Agnes and George to return to tea. Suddenly, Mary Holt exclaimed: "If Hugh Glendenning were alive, I should say that was he and she pointed to a man who passed the house at a distance of some rods, and who now at her ex clamation lifted his hat and bowed. The sight of this man created the most powerful sensation in the group, and Mr.

Holt sprang to his feet and went down to the gate; but he had van. ished. The likeness to Hugh Glenden ning had been startling, not only his face, but his attitude and gesture and his gait, seemed to have declared that it was Hugh Glendenning himself. In another moment George Dana came running up, calling for help. He had, he said, while crossing the fields to meet Agnes, seen her in conversation with a man who looked like Hugh Glendenning, and who strode away on his approach, aad when he himself reached her she had swooned away and lving on the ground.

The trouble which now overwhelmed Agnes and her family was one of those cruel enigmatical troubles which take pall freshness out of life. Agnes, when restored to consciousness, declared that while she was crossing the fields her husband had suddenly started out from behind a tree, caught her arm, held her tightly clutched, and said to hex in a horrible tone, Do not dare to marry that man and that she remembered no more until she opened her eyes and saw her mother bending over A frightful bruise on the tender flesh of her arm corroborated her story. The family, too, bad all sf en a man who, if not Hugh Glendenning, was his absolute likeness. George Dana was the only one who combated the truth of these ideas. He declared it to be wholly impossible that Glendenning should be alive; he himself had questioned the captain and officers on board the steamer after the suicide five years before.

Everything pointed conclusively to the belief that the unhappy man had been drowned. The steamer had been searched over and over; on the fatal day of the disappearance they had not even sighted a vessel.or a boat; thug there could have been no rescue from the sea. was dead, George declared with irresistible decision. -When con fronted with the fact that they had all seen Hugh or his he declared it to be a chance resemblance that Agnes was aispinted ana nervous, and ween the man touched her her disordered imagination supplied the words she be lieved him to have spoken. George, however, beine broken hearted at the failure of bis engagement, was not to be trusted as a counselor in such a crisis.

The marriage was given up. Advertisements were put in the principal papers for a year, imploring Hugh Glendenning, if alive, to communicate wfth his wife- and family; but not a word was heard from him. Agnes naturally suffered the crueiuMt lorin oi sniie ring suspense and dread, and helpless and hopeless misery, jaer past was embittered present she had 'none, and the future' was full of doubts and terrors. Gradually, as two years, then three ea, rs, passed every one save herself ceased to believe in the reality of- the; apparition which had startled them all that twentieth day of Angust.ii And it times even Agnes herself doubted: the evidence of her How coold it be possible that Hugh- was still when in all these past eight: years he: had only once disclosed himself td the sight of any of his friends? When he might come and claim her -before, all the world, what possible could he have for lurking in shadow, only caring to overwhelm her when she made an effort at renewed ties? George Dana naturally was not slow to help her in these questions and doubts; he tried, too, to inspire her with courage that, instead of cowering helpless before vague and nameless shadows in the darkness, she, should resolutely go on and and grasp and defy them. By this time, too, she was legally freed from her husband, even if he were alive, according to the laws ot her State; more than eight years had passed since his apparent death.

A goes at last persuaded to end the long suspense. She suffered not only for herself, but for George, whose life she was spoiling, and finally con-sec ted to marry him privately from her sister's house in New York. Their plans were not discussed beyond the family circle; it was decided that the two should quietly walk out to the city church, and then and there be married by a strange clergyman. Thus everything unpleasant would be avoided, and before consequences were faced they be actually met and conquered. This plan seemed destined to bring the happiest results.

The morning of the wedding day dawned. Agnes quietly ate her breakfast then went to her room and quietly put on hex bonnet to go out and be married. As she stood at the window drawing on her gloves a man stopped suddenly on the pavement, looked up and gave a warning gesture, then ascended the doorstep, A moment later ner sister entered toe room and found her sitting down by the fire, huddling as if to warm herself. Wny, Agnes," said sue, expected to find you ail ready to start Here is a little package which some one has brought for you. Unless it were a secret about the wedding, I should suppose this was a present," There will be no wedding, said Agnes, in a hopeless tone.

I have ust seen. again. It was he who brought that Let me see it" 1 She opened the little parcel contained a ring, a -man's wedding-ring the very one she had given Hugh nine years before.

George Dana, urged by her entreaties and hsr prayers, finally re nounced all hope of overcoming her reluctance to think of him again after her double warning, and married. Agnes is a hopelesslv-saddened, changed and melancholy woman. "Charge It." Ah oldish citizen who had scraped a few hundred dollars together started in the saloon business, on Hastings street, a few days ago; and a man whom he knew and did not particularly admire started in the same business at the same a few doors above, ihere was something of a rivalry between the two places about fixing up, ana tne oia man was constantly on the watch to see that the other did not (ret ahead of him. He had just settled down to the belief that he was a long ways ahead, when in came a customer who said "Aht youH have to hang np your fiddle now. The man above you was showing me his slate.

He has over twenty names on it since morning, ana four men have just gone in there after 10-cent drinks." "Ish dot some facts?" exclaimed the old man, thoroughly aroused in a moment "Yes, and bet hell have $20 charged to customers before night" Und I shall haf more as forty 1 Vait tills I run mit der grocery for a slate, und den you sthand on der corner, und gif all der poys some winks to come in. I don't let dot man get aheadt of me if I haf to pny ten schktes! Night closed in on the old man top of the heap. Detroit Free Press. The Water Torture. It is difficult to imagine a more cruel device that what is known as the water torture in Japan, the originators of whioh relied upon the torments of thirst as more powerful than mere corporal suffering.

The prisoner is for several days confined to an extremely salt diet without rice or water. When two or three days have passed the craving for water becomes incessant, and the sufferings of the tortured man approach the bounds of insanity. Efforts are then made to obtain confession by sub jecting the sufferer to the agony endured by Tantalus when in the midst of the infernal lake, whose waters he could not touch. On all sides the thirst-distracted prisoner beholds water water for which he would sacrifice everything but which he cannot touch except upon the conditions of confession. Of all her Prime Ministers, Queen Victoria liked most Lords Aberdeen and Melbourne, and Lord John Russell least, as he was not a courtier and was always in trouble with the Court Lord Beaconsfield at first was far from being a favorite of her Majesty, but since his second term he has managed to worm himself into the royal good graces.

The Queen has done him the honor to read all his novels, including "Lothair." Mrs. Elizabeth Leopold died in Graniteville, S. the other day, at the age- of 107. years. Around her grave stood the only surviving son, a white-haired, bent man of four score a grandchild of 56 years, several great-grandchildren over 40 years of age, a number of great-great-grandchildren, more than 25 years old, and some toddlers, great-great-great-grandohildren five generations in all.

Robinson, who, as a private soldier, was on duty at the house of Secretary Seward on the night of April 14, 1865, when the Secretary was attacked by Payne, is being worked into an army pavmastership by Congressman Beebe. Robinson was given a medal by Congress some time ago for saving Mr. Seward's life. Long and Short Sleepers.

Seamen and soldiers, from habit, can sleep when they will, and wake when -they will, Captain Barclay, when- performing his wonderful feat of walking 1,000 miles in as many consecutive hours, -obtained such a mastery over himself that he fell asleep the minute he lay down. The faculty of remaining asleep' for a great length of time is possessed by some Such was 'the case with Quin, the celebrated player, who. would slumber for twenty-four hours suooeesively; with Elizabeth Orvin, who slept three-fourths of her life; with Elizabeth Perkins, who slept for a week or a fortnight at a time with Mary LyelL who did the same for six successive weeks and with many ethers, more or less remarkable. A phenomenon of an opposite character is sometimes observed, for there are other individuals who can subsist on a surprisingly small portion of sleep. The celebrated General Elliot was an instance of this kind; he never slept more than four hours out of the twenty-four.

In all other respects he was strikingly abstinent, his food consisting wholly of bread, water, and vegetables. In a letter communicated to Sir John Sinclair, by John Gordon, Esq, of Swine, mention is made of a person named John Mackay, of Skerry, who died in Strathnave, in' the year 1797, aged 91 he only slept on an average of four hours in the twenty-four, and was a remarkably robust and healthy man. Frederick the Great, of Prussia, and. the illustrious sursreon. John Hunter.

only slept five hours during the same period. The celebrated French Gen-, era! Pichegro informed Sir Gilbert. Blaine that during a whole year's campaign he had not allowed himself above one hour's sleep in the twenty-four. Spreading Disease. In a late noteworthy case, the disease of diphtheria was spread among the members of a household by kisses bestowed upon the patient, The lesson to be derived from this not exceptional experience is very clear.

As every physician knows, it is no nncommon thing lor adults; to have diphtheria so mildly that it is mistaken for an ordinary sore throat resulting from cold; yet such a person can easily infect a and the child become a center of malignant in fection. In view of the fatal prevalence of diphtheria, therefore, the kissing of a child upon the mouth by a person with a sore throat is hazardous, if not criminal; and scarcely less so is the practice of allowing children td kiss their ailing playmates. It would be Wise wo exercise great caution in this matter, ii not to discontinue the practice of kissing upon the mouth altogether, in indiscriminate cases. i Industry. It is the duty of every man, woman and child to be industrious.

By industry we all add to the happiness of ourselves) of our families, of our posterity. By industry we are not only adding to the happiness- and prosperity of our race, but also to the aggregate knowledge. If you see a man going about in rags, with a sour face, and cynical manner, you may pretty easily guess that he is not industrious. Bags are not an ao- companiment of industry and, although there may be cases in whioh an industrious person is BOttrin ieature and cynical in his address, such cases are exceptional. For industry usually brings contentment, and contentment Drings a sweet face, and a sweet-faced man cannot be cynical.

To be pleasant in de meanor is just as natural to a contented man as a sweet odor is to the violet Among the- curious anecdotes of beards, the oldest is that told of the eminent John Mayo, a painter, at the court of Charles whose beard was so long that he could stand upon it; this cataract of hair he kept tied up with ribbons to his button-holes, sometimes nnfasteninir it at the Emperors wish. opening the doors and windows that it might blow into the faces of angry courtiers. Another famous beard was that of a Bavarian merchant who kept it incloed in a velvet bag to prevent it from dragging on the ground. An old writer, of more gravity, we fear, than veracity, asserts that the inhabitants of Harndenburg had formerly the singular custom of electing the Burgomaster who had the longest beard and the biggest foot.
