Her husband drew her to his breast, and fondly again embraced and kissed her. . Then, seating her, and placing. himself beside her, he held both of her hands within one of his own, while his other arm encircled her waist..” - . s :

. Had a particle of doubt yet lingered in Rosalie’s mind, it had heen banished now. “Now dearest,” Gresham said, “let me hear what was the terrible insinusition #” . “Insinuation!” exclaimed Rosalie,:and shivered. ¢Ah, if it had been only that !” +The coherency, now, of her relation, the reproduction of ‘almost ‘every, the exact, words which Mistress Camelford had with such unalloyed gratification uttered, proved how deeply they had been imprinted on Rosalie’s mind—how great the suffering they had carried to her heart, = - '~

When she had concluded, her husband remained a few moments silent, and his looks were greatly troubléd and perplexed. “ Poor Rosalie,” Gresham at length said, pityingly and reflectingly, ‘it was, indeed, strongly to test your faith in the truth and honor of your husband.” - Sl . Then, starting to his feet, ‘he exclaimed vehemently : ;s - <“Shall I swearto you, Rosalie, that pever in my life have T written a- single word to your cousin Augusta; that never letter have I received from her?—that I have never thought of Mistress Camelford, save as one who might hereafter help us in our strait—shall I swear this to you, Rogale P’ : 5 : ~

“Oh, no, Arthur, no!” -his young wife earnestly cried, throwing her arms around his neck, and clinging to-him confidingly. - _ Arthur again expressed his fears that -~ Mistress Camelford had begun to suspect. - if.notthe marriage of her cousinand himself, at least their love for each other; and that, in all probability, the man who had + that night so strangelv attacked Arthur had been employed by Augusta to watchand - setupon him. - And. those letters, Arthur . thought, had been invented by Augusta, '~ with the hope that 50 she might extort con- . [Fession from her cousin. ; SR e Rosalie could well judge Mistress Camel--2 ford, and did not_believe that she, as yet; i possessed the slightest suspicion of her own + and Arthur’s secret. s A "+ What, then, was the mysteryof those letters? e T E ~ Conjecture after conjecture was started - by husband and by wife, only to be discarded almost as soon as:formed. - i - “To .whatever it may lead,” entreated ‘Rosalie of her husband, “let our marriage _ be soon revealed. If you.knew how daily -and hourly I suffer atthe thought of my disc hedience. to my father—of the shame I feel at my congtant hypocrisy to him !”’ And Arthur knew that his Rosalie would ere long become’ a mother; .and that soon they must, or fly from the mansion of Sir * Jonas Rathborne, or confess a!l, hoping in bis mercy and forgiveness. - . o “If we could but.delay a little longer,” Arthur said, I should have .no fear, dear - Bosalie; for with a friend sq influential, so good and true to me as Clarence -Hartly—- ' . with him to plead for us, and to stand be- . tween us and your father’s wrath—our ultimate, nay, even speédy, triumph, would ‘be certain !” v iy e : But Clarence Hartley was not there, and -50 they must rely.on other means to” win the pardon of Sir Jonas Rathborne. ~ : And then, again, the thought of both re- - - eurred with a species of terror, to Mistress.

THAT “ TRUE STORY.” , -February 15th Mr. Tilton was again examined with reference to his “True Story.,” He said; - e . My object in showing that paper to a select number of intelligent peoplewas imrorder that I might ‘get from them a judgment such as the great _public at large would have rendered in case it had been published. I did not know how it would affect the public, and thought that'if I showed it, ‘here to one and there to another, ‘and then to another,—to 'a dozen or fifteen, or twenty intelligent persons,—their united judgment would be to me like ‘the judgment of a jury, or .the judgment of the public. 2 ¥ *.* My object in the preparation of that narrative was this: Mrs.: Woodhull’s tale blastifig my family ~had been six weeks before the public. ‘The policy of silence with which we _originally agreed to meet it was every day becoming more and more disastrous, carrying down my household to ruin in public estimation. T undertook the preparation of .a narrative. - which, on being published, would cre- ~ ate in the public mind an impression like this—namely: “Weé never believed that the Woodhull story was ~true, because it was too extravagant; but we always believed that there was some foundation for it;, now, here, at last, we have the true ‘story, and it is not as bad as originally reported, and - it exonerates Mrs. Tilton.” My whole _object was!to pluck up by theé roots Mrs. Woodhull’s' poisonous tale and plant in-its place a story less deleteri‘ous, and which would not incriminate my wife, . e Srial _Dr. Storrs turned to me and said: “Tilton, before I can consult with you on. this subject, or give you any advice worth anything, you must answer me one question.”. I said, “What is it ?” He then said: “I want you to tell me ‘whether this narrative we have read is the plain. and henest truth—what is called in court the truth, the whole - truth, and nothing but the truth?” .1 said: “Well, sir, I will answer that question if you will promise not to ask - me any further questions on the sub-+ ject.” “Well,” says he, “I will not catechise you against your will.” I then said; “It is qot the whole truth; it is only a part, of the tiuth; it is an under-statement, but it is all I am wil--ling to give to the public.” “Then,” he -said, “I advise you -not to publish it.” - . " MRS. TILTON’S CREED. Mr. Tilton then explained how his ‘wife justified fhe violation of her martiage vows: . - o oo - She saidishe was not judged by me nor her mother; that she loved God and did not believe God would have permitted her to enter into those relations if they had been sinful, and particularly. that neither her mother nor ‘T had made it the business of ourlives

tounderstand what was right or wrong - a 8 Beecher had; that Beecher was a ~clergyman, a great and holy man, and that he had repeatedly assured her - that their relationship was not sinful, ‘and she did not see how it could be ‘sinful. He had told het that love justified al{ things; that love had various expressions,—one expression was a -shake of the han%, ‘another was a kiss on the lips, another was sexual inter- - course,—that it made little difference - what the expression was, if the love - itself was right; its rightfulness justified all the various exgereaiens of it, . and that she believed, before God, that herlove for Beecher was right, and, _ therefore, she did not see how any of

the various expressions of it could be sinful; that she rested on Beecher for that, since he had told her so over and over again.- e - ..., WHAT.KATECAREY sAW: ' - Quite -a sensg.tion was created the same day by the introduction of a new ‘witness. A female named Kate Carey testified that she was in the service of Mrs., Tilton about six years ago, and frequently saw Mr. Beecher go into Mrs. Tilton’s bed room and close the door after him; and once she saw her sitting on I%Ir; Beecher’s knee. The introduction! ofythis witness was a surprise to the Beecher party.. Once while Mrs. T. was on.the greéat preacher’s lap Beecher asked “How do, you feel, Elizabeth ?”’ to which she replied, “Dear father; I feel :h’s'_o $O.” These sentences were bandied about the room after the court adjourned with a freedom that caused a deal- of merriment. Kate stated that she became a witness through telling what- she knew to a benevolent lady who visits the sick in Bellevue . hospital, where Kate Carey is a patient, <. - e 3

- . SICKNESS OF A JUROR. - - After tlie close of Theodore Tilton’s ‘re-examination on the 17th one of the jurors was observed to be faint and .sick. The windows of the court were thrown open, and he was given a glass -of water. = The hour of adjournment having arrived, lie-was sent home in charge of two court officers, and the proéee‘di_n»gsAfor the day were brought ‘to a close.. The juror has sihee, however, been restored to health. - : L ' FIVE WITNESSES.. , : Five witnesses in one day was the “unusual luck of the jury in Tilton vs. Beecher on the 18th. In.the morning Mr. Tilton was suddenly called upon by Mr. Shearman, in Mr. Evart’s absence, to answer a few questions, Mr. Fullerton,rejoining effectively. Then ‘M. George A. Bell was summoned to relate an-interview between himself; Mr. Tilton and Mr. Halladay after the Woodhull- publication. Mr. Joseph IT. Richards, Mrs. Tilton’s brother, testified in the afternoon to something he saw at Mr. Tilton’s house, and what he did thereupon. = Mr. Jeremi‘ah P. Robinson testified to Mr. Beecher’s praise of Mr. Moulton’s friendship on July 4, 1874; and to Mr. Moulton’s present and prospective relations with ‘the firm of Woodruff & Robinson. Mr. -William M. Marston Bgasher testified ‘to seeing” Mr. Beecher entering Mr. Tilton’s house at an early hour. = Mr. Richards’ testimony was. significant, ‘considering the source from which it came. He testified to frequent visits ‘of Beecher to Tilton’s house, and to ‘having once’' canght him and Mrs. ilton in a rather compromising position. .He alluded to the facts with reluctance, and said he-thought of the occurrence. more than. he otherwise ~would havedone, on account of Beecher’s well-known reputation—for what de did not state, but it will.not be difficult to imagine.” S '

-.Perhaps even »Iylol'e,importtfn_t than that of the brother-in-laws’ damaging testimony, is. that of Mr. Bell, the well-known superintendent of the Plymouth - Bethel, and former superintendent of the Plymouth Sunday Schools. His evidence was entirely new in-the case; and through him it appears, for the first time, the Plymouth Church was not unanimously for treatingthe W'oc}dvh ull scandal with silent’ contempt, as Beecher’s friends always represented; but that there were huildireds and hundréds who wanted to investigate the matter, and wipe the stain from the church. . ORUSHING EVIDENCE. The testimony of Mrs. Francis D. Moulton in the Beecher case on the 19th fell like fi'thunderbolt. It is the most terrible blow Beecher has yet received, and will injure- him more than the testimony of all the other witnésses combined: Mrs. Moulton testifies, first, that Mr. Beecher confessed Kis“‘si‘n”"t_oi;her, and blamed himgelf for it. -Second, that Mrs. Tilton . confessed the ~“sin” ‘to her, and blamied herself for it. - Third, that Mr. Beecher told her it ‘@asv of no use for him to live any longer, and that he ‘would take his life” by swallowing a little powder which he kept at home on his library, table. - Fourth, that he confessed to her his “great love” for Mrs. Tilton. Fifth, that Mrs. Tilton told her, if the matter became publie, she “would sacrifice her husband and her children rather than Mr. Beecher.” Sixth, that Llrsv.“TiltOll< ‘told her she could not live with Theédore, because he was continually reminding her of the “sin” she had committed. These ‘are only a few of the points of her testimony, but the miost vital ones. They come with all the more crushing force because they come from a laé_ly of the highest character,~a’ lady .in) whom Mr. Beecher himself has always had confidence, and ‘w}m has sedulously sought. -to avoid notoriety by keeping her name out of the case. It coxfrobo‘rates all that has gone before, and carries the force of trath with it, tho Mr. Beecher; at the conclusion of the testimony, declared to Mr. Robinson that whileithada foundation of truth, it was in fact a “lie®. 5. .

Mzs. Moulton - was subjected toa severe cross-examination by Mr. Evarts. She admitted to having.once kissed Beeebzr on the forehead and to having pac her arm around the ‘great preacher’s neck, but in her husband’s presence. - She adhered to her original.narrative very closely. . = . _ The couxt ddjourned to Tuesday, Febrgary 22, ~.. &

Seasonable Advice.

So many fires originate in carelessness or thoughtlessness that precautions need to be kept in mind. House-. keepers should remember the following: Matches should be kept in metal or earthen vessels, and out of the reach of children; donot deposit ashes in a wooden vessel; ‘never put kindling wood on top of a stove to dry; never leave clothes to a gyvate or fireplace to dry; never use any kind of oil to kindle a fire; always fill-and fl}'im lamps by daylight, and mever ear a fire; never allow fluids used for lamps to be kept in a room where a light or fire is used; see that stove pipes enter well.in the chimney. Persons. who have the responsibilties in connhection with some place of business - should not. forget that, before leaving the place of business all lights and fires should be carefully examined; benzine, ‘naptha, gasoline, .camphene, varnish, turpen?’m e, ete., should never be drawn by éandle or lamplight, or in a room where there is a fire; sand in place of sawdust should be used on floors of oil stores, drug stores, ete.; wire-work should be put over gas-lights in show windows; always use & closed lantern, and never allow smoking in barns, stables, warehouses, or in storés where goods are closely packed; keep shavings and fine kindiing wood away from steam boilers and furnaces;- keep:' loft cupboards, corners, boxes, ete., frfée from greasy rags; never use alight in examining a gas-meéter.

: il - e . Regularity Brings Vigor.

- Local irregularities produce weakness of the entire system. In order, therefore, to re-establish health and strength upon a sure basis, these irregularities must be permanently overcome. Many persons endeavor to reform them by remedies -which address themselves merely to the symptoms, Without affecting the cause. If such individuals were to use instead Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,they wo’d speedily appreciate the difference between a medicine which _palliates, and one which entirely removes physical disability. ~That prime regulatoy of bodily disturbances restores the derelict organs to an uninterrupted and healthy performance of their various duties, whereby alone the system can, recover its lost tone and vigor. Hostetter’s Bitters are a tonic medicine, but they are a tonic which regulates ere théy strengthen the system. 41-w4. NOTICE.

Economy in this respect would not only save money, but tend to create a much needed independence, botlrin dress and in our whole manner of life..

GENERAL ITEMS.

A Démocratic United States Senator has been elected in Florida—an unexpected gain. ; e

The lilinois Senate has passed a bill appropriating $50,000 for the Douglas Monument, and it is thought the House will concur by a large majority. Now the report from Spain is té the effect that the Carlists have won a great victory over King Alphonso’s army, the latter losing 7,000 men. The wheat crop:in Texas promises 80 heavy that if nothing occurs to mar the prospects, it willtax the ingenuity of the farmers to save all they raise.

The Senate Committee on Finance has reported in favor of establishing a mint at Chicago. It was ordered printed’and re-committed to-that comnmittee. e e : ;

Potatoes are scarce in Northern Kansas and some have sold as high in Kansas City as $2.50 per bushel. Poor turnips find purchasers at $1.50 per bushel. : :

A cow died the other day ip Kentucky, which cost its owner, T. J. Megiben, $25,000 last summer. It was blooded stock, the “fourth Dutchess” of O’Neida. . :

The bill beforé the legislature compelling railways. to fence the entire distance of theirlines within the State is meeting with determined. opposition from railroad officials. :

John D. Lee, who is now under arrest ‘for planning and executing the Mountain Meadow massacre some seventeen years ago, will be tried at the April term of the Utah court. ~An old proverb declares that the farmer Would as soon see his mother in her coffin as a -pleasant February. According to this, the Grangers must be a jolly set of fellows these days. The Supreme Court of Illinois has decided that the practice known as champerty, the legal practice of taking a case and dividing the profits with the client is illegal, and punishable by fine and imprisonment. -

| Dawes gives§ a goood reason for not taxing tea and coffee. Namely: that speculators have enough of tea and coffee in store to last a year, consequently the Government would not be benefited by such taxation for a year. &

Reports received by the-Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture indicate that the winter wheat in southern Illinois is badly injured by the cold, dry weather. The peach erop is reported as being safe, and the prospect flattering for a good crop. . The Florida Legislature has finally elected Chas. W. Jones United States Senator. He was a member of the lower house of the Legislature from Pensacola, is an Irishman by birth, and of course a Democrat. He will succeed Gilbert (Rep.), on the 4th of March. . : i

A large number of raiiroad accidernts were reported” during the late cold weather, in different parts of the country, caused by the breaking, of rails. The number of killed by tih:se accidents is small, of course; but the number maimed in different degrees, will reach quite a figure. The Commissioner of Patents has recently made a decision in regard to patent mediciries which is of interest to every man, woman and child in the United States, except perhaps, some quack doctors, who see their occupation gone.

MR. Joux A. KiMzEY, druggist, of Knob Noster, Mo., writes as follows: *“Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N.

The habit of standing up,as people call it, for their (little) rights is one of the most disagreeable and undignified in the world. Life is too short for ‘the perpetial pickerings which attend such a disposition; :and unless a very 'momentous affair indeed, where other people’s claims and interests are involved, it is a question if it is not wiser, happier, and more prudent to yield somewhat our precious rights than squabble to maintain them, True wisdom is first pure, then peaceable and gentle. =~

- We understand that the whoopingcough is quite prevalent in the towns around us; but that no cases have proved fatal. Some families use nothing but Johnson’s Anodyne Liniment. Our Doctor; however, says a little ipicac, to produce vomiting, would be an advantage. T There are more than one thousand different kinds of pills in the United States. Some of them are worthless and injurious, others are good and beneficial. . Old Dr. Parsons invented the best anti-bilious pill we ever saw or heard of. They are now sold under the name of Parson’s Purgative Pills.

A member of the House Committee on Aceounts, who has examined the books, says that the cost of the investigations ordered by the present Congress amounts to a half million of dollars, this besides the cost of printing the extensive reports of Committees.
