tons of freight each. leave them •It camioi be avoided my dear.' returned Mr, Landing, tenderly kissing the pure fore head of ih« loving wif«: 'my partner wifl he there, and promised to meet him •But Joseph you have got on your dres* coat thought you never wore it except at parties and the opera.' 'So I have well: well, I didn't mind which one 1 took It was dark in my chamber.' '"v 'You had better oharage it you will aoil it in the counting room.'

No, 1 shall take it off as toon as I. get theie.' 'And you have got on a light cravat atid white vest, one would think you were going to a ball instead ol a dirty office.'

I put on the first that came to hand they were lying on the bureau. Did you not put them there?' 'Yes I intended ou should take us to the opera to night.'

I am aorrv to disappoint vou but bustness is business,' anil ihe merchant afler tenderly kissing his wife left the room.

Mr. Lansing was a New Orleans merchant of good standing. He had been married two years before to a beautiful northern maiden, who had been transplanted from the oId soil of New England to bloom itr the luxurious metropolis of the South.

The matrimonial relations of the uewly wedded couple were, a* fur a? known.su perletivHv h*ppv But the young wife found out that New Orleans was not New Cnglaud—lhat the people of that city had ways and manneta of their own. which were not exactly in accordance with hr notions of morality and propriety Many little thing* too trifling to mention sadly disturbed her equauimity

She discovered that husbands had away of bestowing little attentions upon others than lawful wives, which was entirely abhorrent to her sense of right, (t is true she never had occastou to grieve over any deficiencies of her own husband but ahe could not help thinking that, where the custom of having'other gods* than one's own wife, ahe would never be safe Irom nioriiflcation and disaster.

Mr. Lansing owned a very pretty quadroon girl, who officiated in the capacity ol a servant. The northern wife had more th^n once detected him in the very act of chuck ing her under the ohin but then her Joseph was a model husband, and was alw-tys so loving and attentive to her. that she was conteuted to let it paaa as one of thp customs of the place.

She had too much confidence in him to doubt hi* integrity, but. poor woman! ahe did not know the depravity of human nature. and did not think it worth while to make di«turb£hce about so trifling a matter aa simply ogling a housemaid.

CHAPTER II.

After the departure of her hil^Wid. Mrs.

Lansing happened to go to her chamber.— There she found Ihe garments of h»r husband scatterod about ihe rvm, as s.»in«« husbands are apt to leave them verv mti ih to tho detriment of Ihe good wila'ti patience and goo*f »ip»»r.

Miv Ltusma wa^ ihe offspring »f a N'1* home, and «»f course eduuat«#d'to be neat and tidy about a house The disorder o' th»' fH»n gav% her the and »he imiiiediately Mumenced theta!»k oif {jutting ihings t«» rights.

As she raised ihe ooat tlal h« hal worn during the day. ahe noticed that the pocket was lull of paper*.

Now it cannot reasonably be denied thai women have more than their fair share of euriositv—the shocking story of Blue Beard which the lovers ol polite literature have probabh all rea4 ts abundant evidence of the truth ol the proposition^

Mrs. Lausing waa a WOttlitt. Itrld of course she was anxious to know what all these papers could be. So she took them from the pocket and proceeded to examine them

Judge her horror, her inexpressible consternation. when among them she discovered a billet ol invitation to masked ball at the 'Louisiana Ball-room."

She was anoased* confused, aod overwhelmed at the fatal discovery—as much so

EJue

robably a* the wicked wives ol the horrible Beard were, when they ascertained the contents of the mysterious oh amber.

And the poor lady waa the more astounded when ahe realised that the Ball was to coma on inal«ery night. Could it be poasible that Mr Lansing had gone.

Awful, but the dress cos*, the while veat and light cravat were appalling pi^tjtfihe gentlemen's intentions-

Mrs. Lansing w#s not one of your whining spiritless women, who are dispoeed to sit down and cry over anything thai happens to go wrong-not she. Her bright eyes flash ed with indignation, her boson heaved like the throbs a miniature earthquake and she was sltve for action.

Throwing herself into a chair, ahe refttoled as caknly as the nature of the oase woaid, permit, upon the anhapsy eietr. Fuiif resolved ia obedience to demands «f her virtue, to cast off her Itege lord, if he waa •o vile as to fbiget the Mefwdheea ot the marriage sow, she determined lhat his ai« should find km oat.

Peritapsk is oeoesMry to expUin tothoee wtoritif with the •Creeeent Oky/ tkal Loui»aaa-BaD-roooi was a piece—that no gentleman iw took kit wife thtre--that no tern ales, eava tboee of due moat depraved character em visited

CHAPTER I.

'Wby Joseph, you are oot going oat this

fl,00 evening are youf" asked the young and

jbeautiful Mrs. Laoaing of her husband. 'i am very sorry Julia, but 1 must spend the night at the counting n»om.' replied the husband a merchant in the city of New Orleans 'business is vo driving that the accounts have become entangled.' vlt's loo bad, there,' pouted ihe pretty wife 'here is my dear father and mother.

&*-«*«

injured wife before tbem. freely joined in its dissolute revelries. This much Mr». Loosing had learned of it, aod having no respect for the customs of the city, she did not believe that ber bus band could visit such a place without beiog actuated by an evil motive.

The breath of suspicion was like a mil dew on her warm affections, but it roused all the energy of her nature. Where an other would have pined away and died un der such an inflation, it made the timid Julia a perfect tigress.

Mrs Lansing's father act/ molher were steady, proper people, and retired at an ear ly hour.

No sooner had Julia bade th&m good night, than her virtuous indignation began to boil again, and retired to her apartment where she assumed a blued i-nino, taking 'the precaution to change her dr**4 and oth erwise disguise her person.

With mask in hand she ord^r'e^l a (ferriage. in wmcn with a palpitating heart sh« seated herself. With a siiudJer such Meals thtough the veins ol any virtuous wife al the mention of tliat detestable place she ordered the coachman lo drive her to the Louisiana Ball room

But no sooner had the carriage started than her heart relented She reflected that ahe might have done her husband injustice he might not be the vile monster which she had for the last two hours, allowed herself to think. ,it

But it was no easy matter to gef over and she pulled the check airing and desired the coachman to drive her Lansing'a counting room, ,4f he was there—and ber heart was momentary elated at the thought that be (nigh prove innocent—she could return home and he would never be. the wifer of her suspicion.

But—unfortunate woman!—he was not there the itore was as close and dark as tho crime of which she believed him guilty.

She waa disappointed the little scinlila tion of hope lhat cheered her for a moment darkened into a black cinder and with a desperate resolution, she direoted the driver to set her down at the Ball Room

CHAPTER nr.

He had jujl danced with an elegant quadroon girl—a being who had been trained to pamper of luxurious vice—and was leading her to the drawingroom when a murmur of applause greeted his ears. 1 •Who is she? who is she?'

But no one knew who she was. One thing, however was plain: she coul 1 not be any better than she should be, or she would not pe in such a place.

The peerless fairy glided through th9 throng of rapturons admirers, not deigning a word in reply lo the whole sale adullatiou that was ahowered upon her, towards the place where Lansing was standing, lie saw her. and though her face war entirly concealed by the mask. Ihere was thai in her queenly. gr«ve and sylph like form which enchained tits admiration. She wore a low necked dress and the da cziing white ness other ueck and shoulders, were quite enough to assure hiui the hidden feaures must be beautiful.

'Rapturously.' *Ah you are fickle man!' 'Constant as the aun, (air stranger.* •You would forget me in a few days, though have I singled you put from tbe crowd of admirers.' -By heavens! never!" replied Lansing flattered by the acknowledgement ^Jfou shall be the light ol my life.' *Bm»tr. have you oot a wife? 3 •I have but that shall never disturb even for a moment the love offer at your ahrtne.* ,• 'i could not«i«re yoar love.'

Lansing, almost overcome by his rapturons emotions. 'You are impulsive. Joseph. 'Nay my love my heart ia on Are let it be to-night. Shall I call a carriage!'

As you please but vou area rash lover. Lansing ordered tbe carriage. 'You shall go with me on one condition Joseph.' said the lady. •Name it love any condition I trill sub mit to for your sake.' •For certain reasons of my own, I do not wish you to know the location of my resi dence.' •What reasons ray divinity? that were crust. •It matters not what they are, will you submit to ihe condition?' •1 will.' -You must be ulindiolded in a carriage tthd see nothing until you reach inv appartments •That woul 1 tie—*

•Then you lore me not—go.' •Nay. I submit anything for your sake.' Lansing handed the mysterions lady into the carriage, who after binding her handker chief ov-r his eyes, directed the coachman in a low voice where to drive them. ®The vehicle stopped, and after the lady had examined the bandage, to be sure it was secure, led into a house. They ascended a long flight »n apartment.

You may remove the hankerchief now. Joseph.' said the lady in a sweet and gentle tone.

Joseph removed it, but the room £as dark, and be was completlely bewildered by the temporary deprivation of sight and the long passages and stairways through which he had been conducted.

Seat yourself by tbe window love,* said *he.

Tbe revel went on. Mr. Lansing—faithless perjured husband!—wai gay as the gayest of that distoJule throngedThe bright beautiful being whom he left at Tiorae —happy he had supposed, but deceived had no place iu his fijkle heart the remembrance of her was banished by ins sirens of of the festive scene.

Let the adventure end now dearest remove the mask,' said Joseph attempting to ascertain where he was.

But he was so confused thai everything looked strange. There was a bed in ib« room, but beyond this, he could form no idea of the contents of ihe appartment.

Shall we not have a light, my lovef continued he. Certainly.' and the lady lit a wax taper, and immediately seated, herself in iron of him. •Now raise the mask, beautiful being mat may fr&st my soul on the loveliness beneath it.' '1 fear il would dissolve the spell.'

?^Jay,l swear it shall not and Lansing, spurred on by the impetuosity of his nature placed his arm around her neck and tore the mask from, her face.

It was bis own wifel $ {.il-a-The faithless husband started back confounded at the revelation: his cheek blanched, and he would fain have fled from tbe presence of his gentle outraged wife. 'The spell

is broken!' said she throwing

back her head and assuming an air of queenly dignity, beneath which the guilty man cowered in fear and trembling. •Business, is business, Mr. Lansing, and you were obliged to spend the night in the -outiling room were you?' continued she with a sneer of contempt at the pool crest fallen husband. •Forgive me Julia,' pleaded he.* ****1 •forgive you! You have committed the unpardonable sin in the sight nf devoted wife.

But let us return home, Julia I romtse •MJBfir never to do so again. •Home! Look around you

For the fir»t time Lansing 'realized iftftt he was in his own house. The laiy wns firm. «nd bsit in atdy re fused to yield her forgiveness. Her husband had fo|ieite^ his claim upon her affections, and she laaiued himircai the deepest depths ner soul.

L&tiNing pleaded with all his eloquence to tie forgiven, but in vain j^Juiia was reared tii ,a New England honks and though am* rould vieM lhat pardon fur the offence w.nion ih*» nspf»! enjoins, ahe could not con *ent t» live with b«m aa a wife. 4

Un tnti lollowiiig day. she disctoaed*. with man) tears the wreck of her domestic hap. piness. to her lather and mother Though they were deeply grieved at tbe occurrence and would gladly have avoided tbe scandal that followed in it* train, they could not condemn her spirit, or encourage her to revoke her decision On the same day they started for home, aocompanied by Julia.

A few years later a divorce was procured and she was rh ft tried to a gentleman who better appreciated ber beauty than her former, petfidious husband, *44 -»lr

DEAR JEKBKY —I

1ST T863.

waa right consarned

glad to get your letter last week, for I had'nt heard a word from home since the fifteenth

pueker about? What's ihe use of my wri-

the President for an office, the Gineral sot and studied as much as tue hours, to try and think of some office that wasn't promised, or that wasn't so hemmed in by of-fice-seekers, that there wasn't no gettin at it. At last, he said, Mr. Swop, 1 raly want to socommoddaie you very much, for 1 like your grit. I dont know whether you're a hard shell or a soft shell, nor 1 dont care I wont ask butl like your true democratic grit, and

want to give you an oflloe. But ihere aint but one office that I can think of but what is spoken for. If you'11 lake that you shall have it. That is the Governorship of the Mormons. 1 want to send that old scamp, Brigham Young, adrift, before the dirty old villian spiles all the salt in Salt Lake Valley. I dont believe salt would keep him now, it he was buried in it. If I can get some good Yankee Governor to go and take charge there arid carry his Yankee wife with him, and two or three regiments of soldiers to make them Mormons stand round. I should begin to have some hopes of em.'

Wal, Gineral,' says 1, 'taint no use talking about it 1 know Sally Starnes too well he'll never give her consent in in the world. and 1 shall have to ask her. But says 1 Gineral, 1*11 tell ye what I'd do 1'drill a hole into the Rocky Mountains, and blow the tops off of them into Salt Lake Valley, bury then! Mormons all in a heap, so deep thai tbe, jyorld woy!d new hear of again, 'Wal, says he, 'that a good idea. Mr. Swop, and if you'll engage that machine that the're boring the Hoosio Mountains with, I'll give you the job.' 1 told the President I'd do it so you see Jerry 1 didn't get an office. I got a Government contract, and that's full as good and commonly a good deal better. You can generally make more money out of a contract, than you can out of an office.— And you know this world was made to make money in. and I'm bound to make money out of my contract. So tell Sally Starnes not to worry, ^-,1

put her down to at least twenty a miles day, «o as to be sure to be in time. There's in whole snip load ol Lords and Ladies, and Counts, and what not, couie oyer from lingland to the show, and as l! is not quite ready, the're going to take a tower r-.und through America aud Canada and Niagara aod tneti come back and if the Palace ain't ready lo be opened then. I shouldn't wonder ii t.icre was a row. and the windows broke. About them stalls, you can have a couple in a good situation in the Palace if y«u are right smart to drive a large business. and will pay half the profits to the Directors. But 1 ain't sure bui what you'd do as well to set up outbids, and have all ihe profile to yourself- Jjf ,,

That's the way thousands of folks are goin to do. particularly in the grog line and fancy business The ground is nearly all taken up for about a half a mile round* but if you divide the profits with tbe Alderman, they'I fix you up a firegrate chance. I've been so busy lately getting up anew coal and land company, that 1 have not had time to go np to the Palace, or I should write moK* particular. 8«t 1 will next time. In basis your obi friend*

horse, when, in passing up and

down the piaxza. 1 saw a voung girl seated near the window, evidently visitor. She was very pretty, wiih auburn hair and (due eyes, and was drese in white. I had seen nothing of the kind since I had left Richmond at that time I was too much of a boy to be struck by female beauty^ She was so delicate and dainty looking, so du!arent from the hale buxom brown girls of the woods —and tlieq hor white dress! it was so da»zling.' Never was a poor youth so taken by ^rtirprise and suddenly b*wiiched. My heart yearned to know her, but how was to adcost her? 1 had grown up wild in the woods and had noue of thti habitudes of polite life. Had she beeu like Peggy Pugh or Sally Pigman. or any olher of my leathern dress

proached her withou! dread nay, had she been as fair as Shuii'a daughters with their looking glass locketn, 1 should not have hesitated but that white dress, and those auburn ringlets, and blue eyes, and delicate looks, quite daunted while ihey fascinated me. 1 don't know what put it into my head, but 1 thought, all at once, I would kiss her It would take a long acquaintance to arrive al such a boon, but 1 might seize upon it by sheer robbery. Nobody knew me here. I would just step in and snatch a kiss, mount my horse and ride off. She would not be Ihe worse of it and that kiss—oh, I should die if 1 did not gel it. I gave no time tor thought to cool, but entered the house and stepped lightly into the room. She was seated with her back to the door, looking out of the window, and did not hear me approach. 1 tapped her chair, and she turned and looked up, 1 snatched as sweet a kiss as ever was stolen, and vanished in a twinkling.— The next moment I was on horseback, galloping nomeward, my very heart tingling at what 1 had done."

AfW a variety ol amusing adventures, Ringwood attempts ihe study of law. in an obsuure settlergent in Kentucky, where he delved uight and day. Kalph pursues his studies, occasionally argues ot a debating society, and at length becomes quite age nlus, and a favorite in the eyes ot the mar ried ladies of the village ",a.4.-i •*I called to !aka i«a one evening with one of those ladies, wlteil lo my surprise ntid confusion, I found with her the idemi:"*' blue-eyed beauty whom I had so audaciously kissed. 1 was formally introduced to her, but neither ol us betrayed any sign of pre vious acqus'iitanuo. except by blushing to the eyes VVtitle tea was getting ready, the lady of the house w«*nt out ol the room to give some directions, and left at elone.— Heavens and earth, what a situation! would have given all tho pittance 1 was worth to have beeu in the deepest dell of the forest I felt the necessity of saving something jn excuse of my fnhner rutleness I could not conjure up an idea, nor utter a word.— livery moment matters became worse.

Passing the delightful description which succeeded, we proceed to the denouement of Riogwood's love affair—the marriage and the settlement.

That very autumn I was admftted to the bar, and a month afterwards was married. We were a young couple—she not much more than sixteen, and 1 not quite twenty— and both almost without a dollar in the world The establishment was welt suited to our oironmstanottS alow house with two small rooms, a bed. a half-dosen chairs, a half-doz en knifes aod forks, a half-dostn spoons— everything by tbe half'doten—a little drlph ware, everything in a small way we were so poor, but then so happy.
