THE FATE OF MR. PILLIWIG-
BY N. P. DABLTNO.
(CONCLUDED.)
Then throwing himself into three
different shanes in ranid succession.

he found, upon looking into Mr.
Blingbillie's upper windows, that Mr.
I Pilliwig had gone. Soon after, Mrs.
I Pilliwig became conscious of the fact
n.;u'of her husbaud's departure. The

He vanished evaporated,' in fact, so
completely, that not a drop of Pah
wig was left to I ell the tale.
(P. S. Mrs. Pilliwig's jewelry evap
orated at the same time.)
Upon this occasion MrV'Slingbillie
di.ln't swear:: 'He restrained himself
bv a violent effort, I suppose. Per-Ti
haps Pilliwig's society was not abso
lutely necessary to his happiness, and
consequently he bore up under the
affliction "with a smile that was child
ish and bland."
But poor Mrs. Pilliwig 1 She she
but, no, let us draw the curtain.
There are some things so in'crnally
touching, that it is impossible lor me
to do them justice. If you have tears,
you are at liberty to shed them now.
Don't mind me, but weep.
Now, this little a flair occurred some
ten years ago, although I remember
rll the circumstances as distinctly as
if it had taken place but yesterday.
Well, shortly after Mr.; Pil'iwig's
departure, I obtained a situation in
New York city, where I remained un
til about a month ago, when 1 return
ed to Bungnpore, bought out the gro
cery store of Cheeseman Butiei ick,
and have carried on the business ever
since.
During my absence, I had never
ceased to feel an interest in the Sling
b'.llie family, although I heard noth
ing of them until I returnol to Bunga
pnre. Then i learned that Mr. Sling
bi'die had beeu dead nearly a vear,
and that his daughter, after selling
the house and settling np her afFVirs,
had gone to live with an aunt in Boston.
Well, and where was Pilliwig? No
one knew. He had never bean heard
of since his sudden departure from
Bungnpore, though the probability was
that he was still contorturing himself
to admiring multitudes on the 'tented
field.'
I believe I have previously remark
ed that at one time I was rather sweet
upon Annie Slinbil'ie, but I assure
yuti, my darling reader, that I never
knew what it was to love until about
six months ego.' Such natures as mine
may be "sweet" upon several females
at once and the same time, but they
are so peculiarly organized that they
can't love but once.
It is now about six months ago
that a meeting occurred between myself
and one who cannot fail to exert a
very stron influeucc over me for
good or evil. I felt at once that she
had the power to drive me to distraction
or lead me on to happiness. She had
changed little, and that little was, in
my eyes, for the better. She always
had been lovely, but she was now
excruciatingly beautiful. But what
attrncted ma more than anything else,
perhaps, was her name. Need I
inform jou that it was she? Your
own heart has told yon that already.
Yes, upon enteriug the parlor of the
Bungapore hotel, npon a never to be
forgotten evening eix months ago, I
met the widow Pilliwig.
"Dan 3'ell I groaned. 'At last
at last we meet we collide. "And
her"
'13 dead."
"He twists no more, poor fellow,"
I sighed.
I led her to a seat, and for four
hours and sixteen minutes we conversed
upon the weather. Then, wc got to
talking about the high price of nut
megs, and from that we glided uncon
sciously on, till we found ourselves
talking of the joys of matrimony of
the bliss of loving where there are
two bouls, etc, and the samo number
of hearts that beat as one.
Dear leader, did you ever court a
a Tl?
young and loveing wiaow r i j
never did, 1 advise you to commence
at once. To. say t!:e least,' 1 tninn
you will like it, and then it's so easy,
too. If you are married, perhapn it
would be as well to wait until you are
more favorably situated, because, in
that case, it might have its drawbacks

man to be drawn back
.i .i I..:- -II
out of his head.
But il you are sin-Ian
gle. 1 say go in.
You see, I'm giving yo-i the same
advice that I gavo myself. Yes, for
the last six months 1 have courted the
widow Pi liwig strenuously. Sho as
sisted me, of course, and at last the
daythe day was named. As you
are very discreet, I don't object to
telling you that it's next Wednesday,
or at least, that was the day fixed
upon; but now O now something
has occurred which will oblige us to
postpone
the consummation of our
happiness for Borne time longer.
It was only last night-shall lever

parlor at the hotel. Need I say that
i Mrs. Pilliwig was there If I re
member anything about the circum
j stances, and I think I do remember
j them only too well, Mrs. Pilliwig was
sitting upon my knee, and her lovely
arms were twined in imitation of the
now famous woodbine around my
j snowy neck, and her dear face was
cuddled up. .under thelett wing ot my
mustache, and her stary eyes were
looking up into mine, nnd no youug

w rTR
We were happv
Mrs. Pilliwig,"" I murmured, in a
voice as soft and sweet as the breath
ing of a lute. (I don't know anything
about lutes, but Tom Moore, or some
other poet, has given me to under
stand that they breathe remarkably
soft.) "Mrs. Pilliwig, this is lovely.
"Yes, it i3, rather," she replied.
I was just about to impress a kiss
upon her snowy brow, when the door
was thrown open and a man sprang
into the room.
The widow shrieked.
"Ha cried the intruder, and with
tho rapidity of lightning, he turned
seven beautiful and highly artistic
somersets,' landing handsomely at her j
feet.
"It is screamed. Mrs.. Pilliwig, "it
.isjie!";.
"Xou have gue,ssed my sex, he
yelled; "I am be," and striking a beau
tiful attitude!, he seised a large cork
screw that-as lyingr ,wpon tlje. table,
aaiL&wallcwed it; without winking.
"But, my dear fellow," I remon
strated,' "you are dead.
''Dead Ha I ba 1 ha That was a
joke; my dears I put my own death
in the papers. hy 7 .because J want
ed to raise some money,, and thinking
that Mrs. Pilliwig would like to mar
ry again, I thought I would give her
an opportunity. She has seized the
opportunity and I have appeared.
Now, to come to business, how much
filthy lucre will g've you me to disap
pear?"
"Horrible groaned the widow.
"On the contrary, my dear, it is
highly, amusing and instructive," re
turned Peter Pilliwig. I dou't know
when I've seen anything more delight
ful
"But, my dear M r. Tilliwig, I in
sist that vou are dead, sir," I said.
11a 1 ha I liar laughed air l'lin
"Does this look like it?" he
cried, kissing his h ind and springing
lightly upon the table. Placing a bot
lle of wine between his feet, he said.
And now. mv darling Annie, I will
drink to the health and happiness of
yourself and your future husband."
And waving "hia hand, he bent back
ward until his lips had nearly reached
the. wine, when crack! something
snapped, and Peter Pilliwig the con
tortionist fell to the floor.
Mrs. Pilliwig shrieked and fainted.
I rang the bell, and then lifting poor
Pilliwig, I laid him upon the sofa.--A
servant came rushing into the room.
"Run for tho doctor."
Doctor Iiamzweat happened to be
in the house, and so came immediate
ly. He looked at poor Pilliwig, felt
h:s piilse, and placed his hand on his
heart.' "Why," said be, "the man U
dead v
'That's just what I. told him,' said I.
The doctor examined further.
"Why, his spinal columu is broken
in sixteen places'
"Horrible 1 horrible," groaned Mrs.
Pilliwig, who had just recovered from
her swoon.
Yes, horrible! But alas! such was
the fate of poor Pilliwig.
Irish. Bulls.
The Irish, rightly or wrongly, get
credit for almost all the bulls that go
the rounds of the papers. It was an
Irishman who wanted to find a place
where there was no death, that he
might go and end his days there. It
was an Trish editor that exclaimed,
when speaking of the wrongs of Ire
land, 'Her cup of Misery has been for
ages overflowing, and is not yet full.'
It was an Irish newspaper that said of
Robespierre that 'he leUno children
behind him except a brother, who was
killed at the same" time.' It was An
Irish Coroner who, when asked how
he' accounted for an extraordinary,
mortality in Limerick, replied, sadly:
I cann;t tell. There .are people dy
ing this year, thatiever died before.'
It was an Irish handbill that an
nounced, with boundless liberality, ia
reference to a great political demon
stration ia the Rotunda, that 'Ladies,
without distinction of sex, would be
welcome.' Sir Boyle Roche said:
'Single misfortunes never come alone,
and the greatest of all possible iu:s
fortunes is generally followed bv a
much greater.' An eminent spirit
merchant iu Dublin announces, in an
Irish paper, that he has f-till a small
quantity of the whisky on hand which
was drank by George IV when in
Dubliu.
Couldn't Trust Himself.
The Swits Timts reports that a na
tive of Fribourg presented himself a
few'days ago at the window of the
Postofhceat Jjousanne, and asseoior

TAR AND FEATHERS.
We have been informed of a case
cf tar and feathering which recently
took place in the usually quiet town
ship of Eaton. We withhold the
name of the victim out of respect for
his wife andjfamily. The particulars
of the case as they were told us, run
as follows
It had been pretty generally known
among the neighbors that the man in
question was in the habit of abusing
his wife, but to what extent was not
known, as tho wife never made public
her personal grievances. It. appears
some parties had made up their minds
that if the abuse was repeated they
would take tho law in their own hands
and chastise the husband. Recently,
while a young man was passing the
house, it is said he witnessed the hus
band forcibly eject bis wife from ..the
house, and it was not long beforo the
report became quite generally circula
ted.
One or two evenings after this oc
currence, a stranger rapped at the
door, and, on the man ot the house
making his appearance, he said he
was ou his way to Cleveland with a
load of grain, that his wagon broke
down a 6hort distance from the house,
and wanted to know if he would be
kind euough to procure a lantern and
render him a little assistance. Pro
curing a light, they both started for

A Terrible Scene.
A Desolate Husband Shoot UrmuJf at
th Death-led of Hit Wife.
The citizens of this community were
greatly shocked at an early hour yes
terday evening by the intelligence of

wife which had just taken place at the
residence of Judge Evdns, in the 6th
ward, under the most sad and painful
circumstances the ne dying from
the effect of a pistol ball in the head,
fired by his own hand, while the wife
lay dying in tho same room of that
lingering disease, 'consumption, and
expiring ten minutes after her husband
had gone-. into eternity. That our
citizens were startled by the announce
ment of $0 tragic an' occurrence would
but faintly express the feelings of sad-
no.osi nnd hnrfor flt 1 tin nvAnt- and at
the sympathy for the parents, relatives
and friends of the deceased. The
circumstances of this painful affair, as
near as we can gather them, are as
follows:
TVIr. Charles H, Durban, son of our
well-known citizen,' Thomas Durban,
Esq., a young man about twenty-three -years
of age, a practicing attorney,
office in the Atheneum building, was,
married last spring to Miss Lucy Sea
mau. After marriage, owing to tbe
failing health of Mrs. Durban, they,
resided at Judge Evans. The disease
with which she was afflicted was that
of consumption ot the' lungs. Dir.
Durban, from the testimony of all,
wa3 the most devoted of husbands,
kind, generous and. noble hearted of
sons. Dr.' Ball was the 'attending
physician of Mrs. Durban during her
illness. She continued, to grow worse
and as the prospects for; her recovery
faded away Mr. Durban grew sad and
gloomy. Dr. Ball visited jyirs. uu
ban yesterday morning, and found she
could not long survive a few days at
the most. In the evening he was sent
for. again, and arrived at the bedside
of the sufferer tea minates before six
o'clock. Mr3. Durban wished to take
some medicine, morphine and chloro
form, prescribed by tbe doctor when
she was restless and could not sleep.
Her husband asked the doctor about
giving it, expressing himself as if fear
ing the desire for the sedative might
increase. The doctor requested him
to 2tve her the medicine, which he did,
at the same time seeming nervous and
excited. He walked partially around
the room with his hands in his pock
ets, and finally stopped at the foot of
the bed. The remedy did not seem to
produce relief. She was then breath
ing very hard, and the doctor gave her
some yalcriate of amonia, Mr. Durban
still standing at the foot of the bed,
and seemed to bo suffering intensely.
'Doctor, for God's sake, can't yon give
Lucy (his wife's name, something to
relieve her The doctor told him to
wait, that the remedy bad not had
time to act. v As the difficulty of
breathing seemed to increase, the Dr.
told Mr Durban to bring unslacked
lime that she might inhale it while it
slacked. He did so, and attempted
to hold it to her face, but seemed to
be unable from nervousness She
then took a severo fit of coughing and
the doctor took his place, he passing
to the foot of the bed, saying as he did
so, 'Doctor, can t you do anything
more for her, is she dying Doctor
Ball found that she would suffocate
unless her position in the bed was
changed, and with the assistance of
her mother and Mrs. Evans was trying
to relieve her, when a report rang out
which filled the room with the sound.
The doctor glancing up, noticed Mr.
Durban staggering, and supposing he
had accidentally shot himself, pushed
to him and laid him on 4he floor. He
did not breathe, seemingly, after the
shot His wife seemed fully aware of
what had taken placer and said she
was sorry, but couldn't cry. 1 She en
deavored to speak again, but the words
could not be understood, when she
breathed her last, there being from
five to ten minutes in the time between
their deaths. The boll took effect in
the right temple, a little above ana
back of the eye. In his pocket was
found a letter addressed to his wife,
saying that he could not live without
her, and that if he died first he would
meet her in Paradise. There were
letters also to his parents, and a note
requesting that no coroner's inquest be
ueid upoa nis ,DOuy iui iv
matter between himself and his God.
