The papers recorded it, the town rang with it â€" the whole neigh- bourhood was utt.rly shocked. The little cii*tage on the outskirts of Castle ford awoke aud found ituolf famous. Crowds flockud hither all day on foot and in carnages, poor and rich, to 1 .ok ou that placid, detd face. And so the tragedy at Scarsdood !iad end- ed thus.

No man alive has a better right or a stronger claim now tlian I. And I'll never give her up. She refused all your aid ahve, she shall not seek il dead. From my house she goes to yondpr churchyard, I will give her up ,to none of you. Edith Talbott never left tbe bouse. She sat by her dead friend, weeping incessantly.

He made no appearance amougtaam but shut himself np in his gloomy man- sion ant' drowned thought iu driuk. The fuueral took place two days after, aud one by one they dropped away to their homes, Edith Talbot among the la8l,still crying behind her veil, and led away by her brother.

In the royal box now sat the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Arthur and tlie Princess Louisa. The bell had tinklrd for the rising of the curtain upon the second act of the opera wheu a fashionable late party ol three entered one of the pro- scenium boxes, and a thousand eyes and as many 'double barrels' turned instantly in tint direction.

Eyents have recently transpired in a town in Scuth Simcoe have created a sensation m all ranks of societ}-. In order to place ths circumstances in a proi/er lieht before the public it is ue cessary to go back to events which oc- curred two years ago. At that time the daughter of one of the wealthiest resideuts of the toan married a youug law student. The girl was fresh from boarding school, was pretty aud facin- ating, a charming singer and good piuii«t, and was iu every sense of the word just the sort of girl to impress the susceptible heart af the young stu- dent of Blackstgcc. Her parents were opposed to the match, owiu" to ner intended hushnnd's poverty but their scruples blâ- il^„'-Tyercome, they con- sented to the match. ' After marriage the young, hus'oand found his posi^jou peculiarly trying. If his new relatives did not directly charge him with his poverty and living at the expense of ntheis, they at least hinted it so often that the yonn^ benedict found his po- sition so uncomfortable that he deter- mined upon leaving his bride of a month aud going to push hie. fortune iu Califuruia. -A LOVEB A.PPKABS. Six months after the husband liad left his b:ide a handsome traveller for a Montreal house ajipcared in ilie town. He was introducsd to the young wifif's father, and by him to his family. The wife of -the absent stu dent aud minor was residing with lief parents at the time, and the Moutre- aler became at once impressed with her charma Apparently the attach ment was reciprocal. SlciL'li drives, balls, and social parties found thisgav young cominci-ciol tr.ivtsller aud tl:e pretty bride inseparable compauioiis. At last rumor united their uuiues in n manner not at all flalttriiig to the young lady, but apparently tliey were indifferent aboutâ€" public opinion and heedless of consequences. A mouth after they had become acquainted so- ciety was startled by the rumoured elopement of tbe " commercial" aud the bride of eiglit months. Ths lady who ugnalized herself in such a notorious manner was p rtial- ly restored to public favor ou the often reiterated allegations of her arents that her husband had been killed iu the mines of Nevada. HUSBAND. NO. 1 OX THE 8TAOK. The "commercial" and his much- wedded wife, engaged in business and were prospering. To all appearance she was happy, and if a thought of her first husband flitted through her mindr it was not reflected in her Countenance. About two weeks ago' the first husbsnd appeared upon the 8C«.ue. He was aware of what had happened, and had the melancholly satisfaction of gazing through the window, like a modern Enoch Arden, at the beautiful woman, once his own but now another's. He did not, like Enoch, sigh for hit lost love, aud leave her to her oew found happiness. He was of a more practical turn of mind, and as he did not desire to re- possess himself of his false wife, hke a true student of law, negotiated with husband No. 2, the result being that husband No. 1 received a eolation to tne extent of $1,000. Strange to add, this wife of two husbands wag almost indifferent to the result of the cousal- tatiou having suoli particular refer- ence to herseS. If they coul 1 agree about her ownership she would be satisfied with the decision. So tlie matter stands at present, and it is not Ukely that an appeal to the law will be made. HOBUIBLE SUICIDE.
