We don't gi hatnes. On the trip hither, the young wile was exceedingly ill.most.ot the time, and whether the labor of attending the invalid in the nies of sea sickness wenkened the husbaed ardent attechment, or that he was fickle minded by nature, we cunnot tell; we only know that he negiected bis suffering lawlul wife, and cast unhaliowed eyes upon another woman, whem he persuaded te take her lace in his deeeitful heart. On arriving ere, the hneband iuimediately left the steainer in coutpany with his second love, and his wife wna wllewed to remain compauionless, friendless, moneyleas, to be juxtled by the its . diseriminate crowd which throngs the pier its arrival. She was a “ stranger in a strange ful natare.of her position; but she knew that be who had sworn. to protect, bad abandowed her, and that she required care and shelter, So she laid her hand timidly on the arm of a hackman, whom she thought might be an honest ian, and eaid; in a voice broken with tears: “Take me, if you please, tea quiet hotel.” He demurred a little, seeing. perhaps, no prospeet of a fare ; but ‘finally consénted to do as she wished. She entered his carriage, and he conveyed her to a house of prostitution_situated on Pike street, between, Clay and Washington, kept by. a éc!ored women, in this city. She was stranger, it will be recollected, and he told her it waa « hotel; “all right.” She trusted him, and stepped into the house. Of the agety of . mind and the stormy grief she showed when . the knowledge came.to ber that she had oeen doubly betrayed ; of the stupor of «xhausted nature; of the refusal of food in hope of weakening life away; we will not speak. . Death, we are happy to add, was pitiful where man was nt; her sad heart burst with its surcharge of grief, and to-day she will be laid where “ the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.’ Tee scoundrel tou whom the poor woman's} sufferings and esd end are attribu‘able, went, we understand, to Oregon with his ‘paramour.

On the trip hither, the young wile was exceedingly ill.most.ot the time, and whether the labor of attending the invalid in the nies of sea sickness wenkened the husbaed ardent attechment, or that he was fickle minded by nature, we cunnot tell; we only know that he negiected bis suffering lawlul wife, and cast unhaliowed eyes upon another woman, whem he persuaded te take her lace in his deeeitful heart. On arriving ere, the hneband iuimediately left the steainer in coutpany with his second love, and his wife wna wllewed to remain compauionless, friendless, moneyleas, to be juxtled by the its . diseriminate crowd which throngs the pier its arrival. She was a “ stranger in a strange ful natare.of her position; but she knew that be who had sworn. to protect, bad abandowed her, and that she required care and shelter, So she laid her hand timidly on the arm of a hackman, whom she thought might be an honest ian, and eaid; in a voice broken with tears: “Take me, if you please, tea quiet hotel.” He demurred a little, seeing. perhaps, no prospeet of a fare ; but ‘finally consénted to do as she wished. She entered his carriage, and he conveyed her to a house of prostitution_situated on Pike street, between, Clay and Washington, kept by. a éc!ored women, in this city. She was stranger, it will be recollected, and he told her it waa « hotel; “all right.” She trusted him, and stepped into the house. Of the agety of . mind and the stormy grief she showed when . the knowledge came.to ber that she had oeen doubly betrayed ; of the stupor of «xhausted nature; of the refusal of food in hope of weakening life away; we will not speak. . Death, we are happy to add, was pitiful where man was nt; her sad heart burst with its surcharge of grief, and to-day she will be laid where “ the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.’ Tee scoundrel tou whom the poor woman's} sufferings and esd end are attribu‘able, went, we understand, to Oregon with his ‘paramour.
