3m amiss-2s. The name in Her Yuk and the Ch. of Women Who Take Refuge Within It. Shortly heforethe lste William E. Dodge died he gave: building in East Fitty- fourth meet, New York. to an association to be used as a home for women drunkards ofgood The need of such a home in the metropolis must he very great, if what moral character. s correspondent of the Syracuse/01mm] says regarding druth among women there even approximates the truth. We are told ttst even in circles nominally religious an immense amount of wines and liquors is con- sumed in social entertainments. In the gay fashionable society, women who are termed ladies imbibe freely of intoxicantl. The writer remarks: The history of this refuge is remarkable though the home has only been open since the beginning of April for patients. Ladies moving in our highat circles. some of them members of our churches, and generally be- lieved to be exam lea of rcctitude, have lucu ca: ricd to Dr. cylert's while inebriat. ed. Some of them have gone there of their owh free will to be restrained from yielding to the appetite. Several noted actresses have also sought this home. Dr. fifeylert says that most women drunksrds deny that they drinkâ€"but a number have come to him confessing their weakness, and im lor- iiig him tosave them. The friends 0 the patients in every way try to hide their iden~ tity-â€"fictitious names being given, etc.,-â€" but the truth is sure to leak out in same way, although the doctor tries to keep these painful secrets faithfully. He never takes the statements of the patients themselves, as he says he moot trust them, only credit; ing the unhappy relatives who gain their, admittance. A noted theatrical manager of this city is so interested in an actress who is a great favorite here and elsewhere, who has been called " ill” in the newspapers. but is really incapacitated for work, through her passion for liquor, that he has induced fir. Aleylcrt to care for her. This poor wo- man has several times tried to destroy her- nclf when she was causcious that she was about to give way to her desire for intoxi- cating drinks, or a spree. Sedativcs are gzvcu these unfortunatcs, rich milk, cream, and beef tea, and electricity is used with favorable results. They are locked within the home necessarily when under treatment. VOL. XIX.

Good Wife. It i-i worth while to pander well the fol- lowing poiuts through which a good wife may be recognized : “ She commaudeth her husband in any equal matter by constant obeying him." Some pretty nice women and active wives niziy doubt the wisdom of this old maxim, but we suspect that it is true all the name. She complies and waits licr opportunity ! “ She never crosseth her husband in the spring-tide of his anger, but stays till it be ebbing writer.” A good many family jars are tho result of forgetting this. A happy couple used to say that they always managed that both were ucvcrniigry at the some time. So it is far better that, when the husband is angry, be be let alone. 110 is not like iron, most easily wrought upon when he is hot.

He had no idea when he married that a wife would be such a burden on his hands ; but he realized the fact when the burden was there. and therefore was becomineg grateful when it was removed. If she had only taken the young incubus, his son Ger- ald, with her, he would have looked back quite tenderly ou dear Gerty’s memory. But, asshe had not done so_ he took life, as far as his son was concerned, in the easiest possible way. “ His mother’s pin money Would educate the boy and be a slight as- sistance to him in after life ;” and, gratified by this recollection, the Honorable Clive Seymour furnished his son wi.li accomplished governesses, sent him for a short time to Eton, and afterwards got him into the Navy, as the easiest and cheapest way of relieving himself of his presence. Gerald was a stupid follow, his father would say, with n deprecating shrug of his shoulders, so troublesomer honest in word and deed that there was no getting on with him; a fellow who would never turn out a wit or a bean, or anything that a father might feel proud of ; so the Navy was the fittest place for him, where tarry ropes and bilge-water would hirmonize more with his delicate prejudices than the profound social diplomacy of Clive Seymour. The lad bore no malice about his allot- ment in life. He liked the sea, and he' aspired to become a skilled sailor yet ;' had, when he had his leave, he came home joy- fully, lurid-voiced, broad-shouldered, brown- skinncd, and. boisterously glad to see every- body, and so noisy in his delight that Clive Seymour actually sliuddered at his advent. Gerald had too much affection to believe that his father endured his presence as a. social martyrdom. He thought it was the way of all fathers to be absent, nervous,und indifl'ercnt ; and, on the whole, he thought his father particularly nice. It was only when he had visited other houses and had seen how his brother-middies were welcom- ed home that he began to realize, wit-i a slow dull sense of pain, that he was unloved. unlooked-forâ€"nay more, positively objected to. From that time be avoided home as much as possible. It was really not: his fault, the fa'hcr thought pettishly, that his son was no com- panion to him, that he wonld discuss nothing, that he called a spade a. spade, and hold all men to be honest, and all women too. Had he been a. true Seymour, his father would have been proud of him, and would have lived anew in his triumphs, since it must be admitted that Clive Sey' mour was growing just a. little passe and so- ciety just a little tirod of his antiquated ele- gance. no himself was clear-sighted enough to see that, and he felt very bitter at so- ciety’s defection. But he had always been a favorite of Fortune ; and Fortune, just at the end of his game, dealt him a card with which he could immediately recoup himself for all his previous losses.’ Two years before this story opens tlicro ban visited Clive Seymour, in his bachelor apartments in Piccadilly, n. dark-faced, medium-siezed, well-dressed young man, who spoke with a foreign accent, wore a considerable amount of j ewcllery,and,brou ght no letters of introduction, a, man on whom the Honorable Clive Seymour looked at ii at with some suspicion, but whom, after an hour's keen and close questiouirg, he shook warmly by the hand. ' “ With your money and your nppcamnce and a. few hints that I shall give you, you will storm the town, my dear fellow l” he said effusiver ; and the other smiled. Clive Seymour’s protege was Manuel Car- rasco, u-Spauiard by'dcsccnt, a Mexican by birth. Handsome as far its beauty or con- tour and coloring went, rich, and well-born â€"so Clive Seymour saidâ€"mo wonder the best society, eager enough to welcome eligi- ble married men, did the stranger homage. Since exclusive Clive Seymour took him by the hand and declared himsclf to be his father’s old and best friend, the fathars and mothers of umrriageablo daughters did not hesitate to follow suit. What if the stranger’s manner were a little brusque and uncertain, and his accent most un-Eug- liin '2 These imperfections were overlooked, because he was a foreigner. So the matrous fluttered round him, and the maidens smiled on him, while Clive Seymour rubbed his hands in n well-bred way and- chuckled gleefully. The portals of the fashionable world had been opened to the stranger; all London was before him from which to choose a Wife ; and he meant to choose leisurely; undto marry well; but “ tlicre is a. destiny which shapes our ends." For many toilsomc years he had been building a castle of cards, in which he had himself come to believe ; it looked so strong, so high, and stately. For many years he had forgotten he owned a heart, and had blindly followed the dictata of his subtle thoughtful head ; but all at once his calculations were upset by the sight of a big-eyed, pale-faced, long-limbod girl, whose name he did not know, and who took n 9 notice of him. He saw her in a crowd at tho “'cstminster Aquarium. She was lean- ii ,' on her governoss’s arm and talking \olubly, laughing at the clowns, shuddering a: the' feats of the ncrobats, and quite oblivious of Manuel Carrasco’s existence. It was his destiny that this girl should attract him : so he thought then and after- wards. lie had seen many beautiful'womcn; and this girl was not beautiful. He had seen many elegant, well-dressed women ; and this girl was almost awkward, and cer- tainly shabbin clad. lie had seen many women whose attentions flattered him ; and this girl did not even see him ; but he loved her for all that. She was, from the first hour he looked upon her, the one women in all the world for him. To find out who she was was easy. He followed her home, took down the number of the house she lived in, and ‘learneo, through ubiquitous all~knowing Clive Soy- mour, that she was a niece of Lord Hard- mouth, and daughter of Colonel Howard ; that she would be out next smson, and that she had not a penny in the world or a pros- pcct of having one. _ _ It is easy to make a girl the fashion last at her debut. The Mexican was the fashion himself, and any one be singled out for the object of his devotion shared the interest he created. Pretty Pl)wa Howard would never know how many of the eligible offers she received in her first season were owing toMannel Csrrasco's steady, persistent. but unobtrusive, devotion to her. He loved her with all thzfsssion of a son of the South. He had low poor Pepitsâ€" his motherâ€"and that was the best love his life had ever known; but beside this love filial affection palsd. He loved every morn, ber of I’hurbe's family for her sweet sake; the fat red-faced Colonel, the peevish lretful mother. and the weak ‘eâ€"eyed brother; so in all good fsith he endeavored to i help Algernon Howard, and would have giveusny of them half his fortune had they seemed toneed it. But his love was sll in vain, his baseless. She cared nothing for him,simaply nothingstsll. Hsdsha methim rst she might have learned to love him ; but she loved another, and there was nothing more to be said. "And thstother!" he had grosned.
