fair ones in Oakville were in a great flutter. Mr. iL '^’ !

pans over a few years, when It was whispered j iug t 
around that Mr. Murray wan not as steady in eHce

seen, quite late at night, making a very crooked s igbi 
path homeward; and ofttimes assistance wan him 
necessary to keep him in iuj upright position; If yr 
and most of his time was spent in the company vou 
of a noted gambler, who Initiated him into the art umoi 
and led him along by allowing him Occasionally jj v j, 
to win considerable sums, until one night, after bear

him. But, instead of winning, he lost, Hi6

A STOEY OF OAKVILLE 
BY MRS. COOK. 
James Murray was styled a bachelor by the 
young ladies of his town; not that he deserved 
the appellation bv bis extreme age of single 
blessedness, but because he could not ho per¬ 
suaded to mingle in the society of the fair ones. 
He was of a good family us respects hirtli and 
fortune. Every art was used to captivate him, 
but all in vain. What it pity such an interesting 
and well appearing man should be so exclusive! 
He was thought ranch of by the young men of 
his acquaintance. Was he not one of the first 
at their clubs and secret societies ? Was he not 
the most liberal when they had a large bill to 
pay ? By the older and wiser ones he was called 
a fust young man. 
His sister Mary often begged him not to leave 
her so entirely to the care of other gentlemen. 
Site thought her brother ought to accompany 
Iter when she needed the protection of a gentle¬ 
man. One evening she begged him so earnestly 
logo with her to Mrs. Hill’s party that, fora

its you imagine, 
poor girl, 
CHS. Site hits kept it a secret till this while. 
I guess she will fork over when she finds all is 
lost, I will he back in a few moments to try my 
luck once more.” 
It was after midnight when he reached his 
house. On entering the sitting-room, he found 
his wife had fallen asleep ill a large arm chair, 
whilst awning his return; as she never retired 
until her husband came home, no matter how 
late the, hour. He was so much excited tiiat he 
did not realize what he was about. Taking her 
by the arm and rudely shaking her, he said, 
“ Eliza, lend me four thousand dollars, or I am 
a ruined man.” 
Mrs. Murray thought she was dreaming, and 
tried to move from him, hut he held her firmly 
and said, 44 You might as well own the truth. I 
knew before vve were married you were rich. I 
should have, kept still as long as you would, but 
am in need of money to-night — must have it. 
Come, give me a check on your banker. I will 
hand It buck in u few daysr^’ 
His wife, throwing her arms about his neck, 
said: “ Dear husband, I have notone cent inde¬ 
pendent of you. I told you so before we were 
married.” 
He waited to hear no more, but pushed her 
from him, rushed into the hall and, not finding 
his hat, stepped back after It, when what a sight 
met his gaze! As he pushed his w ife from him, 
she lost her balance and fell, with her left arm 
under her, which was broken by the fall; and her 
forehead was badly cut by striking tin- edge of a 
spit toon. In an instant he was a sober man. ne 
thought that he had killed her, for she was sense¬ 
less. His cries of “Oh, I have killed her! I have 
killed her!” soon brought Ills sister and the ser¬ 
vants into the room. A servant was soon dis¬ 
patched for a physician, who said that life was 
so near extinct he feared lie could be of no use. 
By daylight it was reported all over town that 
Mr. Murray, in a state of intoxication, had 
killed his wife, 'which report so frightened the 
men he had gambled with the night before, 
that they left for parts unknown, without wait¬ 
ing to secure the property they had won. 
Mrs. Murbat was not killed, as reported, but 
had a very narrow escape. She was very stupid 
for several hours, and did not appear to realize 
her situation. Her husband could not be per¬ 
suaded to leave the room, even for a little rest, 
but would pace up and down with a pale face 
and uneasy air, with his hands clasped behind 
him, pausing every time he passed her bedside 
to listen if he might hear one word escape from 
her lips. Suddenly his face was shrouded in 
gloom, hie lips compressed, as he bent closer to 
the bed. His wife, whose mind seemed to be 
wandering with the past, very faintly said, ‘‘My 
husband, save my husband.” A spasm con¬ 
vulsed hi 4 face; and for a few moments it was 
frightful to behold the agony ho seemed to 
endure; his life came up before him go vividly, 
as he thought how cold and negligent he had 
been to his w ife, how he had framed deceitful 
excuses for his absence from home night after 
night, while she, through it all, had been so 
kind and trusting, never doubting the truthful¬ 
ness of his assert ions. As the stupor passed oil’, 
consciousness returiied; and as soon as she was 
able to hear the excitement, her husband made a 
full confession to la-r, of how lie had gambled 
and drank, and spent the best part of his life in 
recklessness and folly, and what a blank, barren 
waste it had been, as he could now see. 
From that time Mr. Murray was a changed 
man. Tired and disgusted with the heartless 
emptiness of itis life, his better nature once more 
gaining the ascendency, lie emerged from the 
gay haunts of Oakville, forswearing its dissipa¬ 
tion, and resolved to abandon forever his vicious 
associates and habits. Ifi pursuance of this res¬ 
olution, he entered at once upon the new course 
of life he had prescribed for himself, and resolved, 
by the help of Divine Providence, so to live as to 
he always found walking in the paths of honor 
and rectitude. 
In their conversation, Mrs. Mukrat said, 
“There are but few persons of my age who 
have known and realized the evil of gambling as 
1 have. When my father left this country for
