MRS. BADGERY. Is there any law which will protect me from Mrs. Badgery ? I am a bachelor, and Mrs. Badgery ia a widow. Let nobody rashly imagine that I am about to relate a common-place grievance, because I have suffered that first sentence to escape my pea. My objection to Mrs. Badgery is, not that she is too fond of rae, but.that she is too iond of the memory; of her late husband. She has notttempted to marry me; she would not think of marrying me, even if I asked her. Understand, therefore, ifyou please, at the outset, that my grievance: ia relation to this widow lady is a grievance of an entirely new kind. r - Let me begin again. I am a bachelor of a certain age. I have a large circle of acquaintances; but I solemnly "declare that the late Mr. Badgery was never numbered in the list of my friends. I never heard of him in my life; I never knew that he had left a relict; I never set eyes upon Mrs. Badpery until one fatal morning when I went to see if the fixtures were ull right in my new house. My new house is in the suburbs. I looked at it,- liked it, took it. Three times I visited it before I sent my furniture in. Once with a friend, once with aurveyor, once by myself, to throw a sharp eye, as I have already intimated, over the fixtures. The third visit marked the fatal occasion on which I first saw Mrs. Badgery. A deep interest attaches to this event,' and I shall go into details in describing it. C - I rang at the bell of the garden door. -The old woman- appointed to keep the house answered it. I directly saw- something strange and confused in her face and manner. Some men would have pondered a little and questioned her. I am by nature impetuous and a rusher at conclusions. " Druuk," I sai(f to myaelf, and walked onJnto the hpuse perfectly satisfied. , - I looked into the " front parlor. Grate all right, curtain-pole all right, gas chandelier all right. I looked into the pack parlor ditto, ditto, ditto, as-we men f business say. I mounted the stairs. Blind on back window right? Yes; bliud'on back window right. I ?opened the door of the front drawing-rooia aoj there, sitting in the middle of the Ware floor, was a -large woman on a litfTe campstool ! - She was dressed in the .deepest mourning, her face was hiddeja by the thickest crape feil I.ver saw, and she was groaning softly" to hwself in the desolate solitude of mjiew unfurnished house."1 - What did 1 do? Di! bounced back into the landing as if I had been shot, jittering the, natiocal'xclamation of terror -nd astoubhment: " Ilulfo!" (And here I particularly beg in-' parenthesis, that tEe printer will follow my spelling "of tit word, and utft put Hillo, or Ualloa, Instead, both hi which are base- compromises, which'represent no sound That ever ; yet issued from any EngWshman's 1 lips), il said "UuHoP'aua then I turn fid around fiercely .upon the old woiiiiTS who kejifjthe housefand said " Hulfo!" again. '- SLcunderc tood the irresistible appeal that I had made to herleelines.

and eourtesied, and looked towards the drawing-room, and humlTPy hoped that Ilwas not startled or put out. I asked who the crape-covered woman on thjft camp-stool wa-: andwrhat she wantsd there. Before-the old woman couldnswer. the soft xroanius in the' drawing room ceased, and ' muffled' voiced speaking from"-,- behind the crape ;veil, addressed me reproachfully, and said: c I am the widow of thelate Mr. Badgery." '' Vhat did I say in answer? Exact-' ly the words which, I flatted myself, any other sensible man in iy situation would have said. Ajfi what words were thev? These tw ki Oh, indeed"! " -;, " Mr. Badgery and myself were the' last tenants who inhabited this house-," continued the' niufld voice. "Mr. 'Badgery died , here J' The' voicejieased, and the soft groans began again. It was perhaps not necessary to an-' swer this; but I did answer t. How? In one. word: "Ha!" " Our house has been longfempty," resumed the voice, choked Iby sobs. " Our establishment has l eeff broken; up. Eeing left in reduced-" circumstances, I now live in a cottige near; but it js not home to-me. -This is home-However long F live, wherever I go, whatever changes may, happen to this beloved house, nothing can' ever prevent me from looking on it as my home. I came here, sirfwith Mr. B dgery, a'ter our honeymoon. -All the btiet happiness of my life was once "contained witnin tnyse lour walls. Every dear remmbrauce that I fondly cherish is shut up 3" these sacred. rooms." xgnm the voice ceased, and again the soft eroans echoed round my eiuDl ty waits, and oozed our past me down my uncarpeted staircase. I. reflected. Mrs Badgery's brief nappiness and dear rTemembrances werejsot included in the list of fixtures. Why could she not take them away -with her? Why should she leave them littered about in the way of my furniture? I was just thinking how Icould put this view of the case 6troD3v to Mrs. Badgery, when she suddenly left off groaning, and addressed me once more. " While this house has been empty," she "said",JI have teen in" the habit of looking in from time to time, and renewing ruyi tender associations' with the trace. - I 4ve lived ,as it were, in the sacred memory of Mr.

Badgery and of . the past, which these dear, these priceless rooms call up, dismantled and dusty as they are at the present moment. It has been my practice to give a remuneration to the attendant fr any slight trouble that I might occasion " " Only sixpence, sir," whispered the old woman, close at my ear. " And to ask nothing in return," continued Mrs. Badgery, " but the permission to bring my camp-stool with me, and to mediate on Mr. Badgery in the empty . rooms, with every one of which some happy thought, or elegant word, or. tender action" of. his is so sweetiy associated. I came here on my usual, errand to day. I am discovered, I presume, by the new proprietor of the house discovered, I am quite ready to admit, as an intruder. , I am willing to go, if you wish, it, after hearing my explanation. My heart is full, sir; I am quite incapable of contending with you. You would hardly think it, but I am sitting on the spot once occupied by our ottoman. I am looking towards the window in which my flower stand once stood. In this very place dear Mr. Badgery first sat dawn and clasped me to his heart, when we came bsck from our honeymoon trip. 'Matilda,' he said, "your drawingroom has been expensively papered, carpeted and furnished for a month; but it has only been adorned, love, since you entered it.' If you have no sympathy, sir, for such remembrances as these; if you see, nothing pitiable in my position!, taken in connecion with my presence here; if you caunot enter into my feelings, and thoroughly understand that this is not a house, but a Shrine you have only to say so, and I am quite willing to go. ,, Sbe spoke with the air- of- a- martyr a martyr to, my insensibility. If he had been the proprietor and I had been the intruder, she could not have been more mournfully magnanimous. All this time, too, she never raised her veil she never has raised it. in my presence, from that time to this. I have no idea whether she is young or old, dark or fair, handsome or ugly;' my impression is, that she is in every respect a finished andperfect Gorgon, but I have no basis of fact orriwljieh Ian support that dismal idea. A moving mass of crape, and a muffled voice4-that, if you dme ma to it, is all I know, iu a personal point of view, of Mrs. Badgery. ' ' "Ever since mj irreparable loss, this has been the shrine of my pilgrimage, and the altar of my worship," proceeded the voice. " One maa may call himself-a landlord, and say that he will let it; another man call himself a tenant, and say that he will take it. . I don't blame either of those, two men; I , don't wish to intrude on either of those two men; I only tell them that this is my home; that my heart is still in possession, and that no mortal laws, landlords or tenants, can "ever turn it out. If you dod't' understand ithis. sir; if

tire holiest feeling that dOi honor- to1 our common nature have no partic-u-lar, sanctity in your, estimation, pray do not scruple' to say so; pray tell me to go.'.' .. .. . : , ' I don't wish to da anything uncivil Bia'amv" said I. "But I am a single man, and: I am not sentimental." (Mrs. Badgery groaned.) "Nobody told me I was coming into a Shrine when I took this house r nobody warned me, when I first went over it, that there was a heart in possession.' I regret to Jiave disturbed your meditatign, and, I . am sorry to hear that M r.-Badgery is' dead." That is all I have to say about it; and now, with your kind permission', I will do mvse'f the honor of wishing you good morning', aud will go up stairs to look after the fixtures on the second floor." Could I hatre Tgivett'a gentlerhint than this? Could I have spoken more compassionately' to a woman whom I sincerely believed to be old and ugly? -Where i& the man to be found who'can lay his hand on his he.rt,.aod honestly say that he ever really pitied the sorrows of a Gorgon? Stra-h Jhrpugh-the, whole- surfacs cf the gloheTaud you will' discover human phfcndtnena ofalhsorii.'but you will not find that man;. . ' . To resume'.' I made her ar bow'aSd left her., on-the caiiip'stoof in the middle of the drawitig-room floor, exactly as I had found her."I ascended to the second floor, walked into -Jh,e, bwk rojm first, and inspected tle ;grate :It app'eared to he a, little ,cut of repair, so J - stooped down to look 'at- it closer.' 'While 'I was kneeling over the bars, I was violently started by the fall of one large drop of warm water, from a great height exactly in the middle of a bald place, which had been ; widening a great deal of late years on the top of ray head. I turned on my knees, and looked round." Heaven arid earth! The crape covered woman had follow ed me up stairs the .source from which the drop of warm, water had fallen was no other than Mrs. Badgery's eye. - j.' ., " " I wish you could contrive not to cry over the top of my head, ma'am," said I.' My patience was becoming exhausted, and I, spoke with consid erable asperity." The curley-headed youth .of the present age may not be able to sympathize ' with my feelings on this occaaion; but my bald brethren know, as well as I do, that the most unpardonable of all liberties is a liberty taken with the' unguarded top of the human head. , Mrs. Badgery did not seem to hoar jme-''When she had dropped the-ta. mo -oiauuiug CAauny; oyer, me, looking down at the grate;"and she never stirred an inch ; after; I ," had spoken,1 "Don't cry over my head, ma'am," I repeated, more 'irritably than before. - - . )

" This was his dressing-room," said Mrs. Badgery, indulging in muffled soliloquy. " He was singularly particular about his shavingwater. He always liked to have it in a little tin pot, and he invariably desired that it might be placed on this hob." She gToaned again, and tapped one side of the grate with the leg of her camp-stool. If I had been a woman, or if Mrs. Badgery had been a man, I should now have proceeded to extremities, and should have vindicated my right to my own house by an appeal to physical force. Under existing circumstances, all that I could do was to express my indignation by a glance.

i The glance produced not the slightest i result and no wonder. Who can ! look at a. woman with any effect, through a crape veil. concluded to-morrow. DRY GOODS.
