ManAmE HEINE. --Shortly after settling us Paris
he married 3latiiilde Mint, first au fryi:.n eic arrow/ism.
mont, as the slang phrase has it, and some years after-
wards when he found some difficulties in making A provi-
sion for his wife, at the church of St. Sulpice. Madame
Heine was a woman totally incapable of understanding her
husband, but so far from feeling annoyed at it, it seemed
greatly to amuse him. He often used to say that she had
never read a lice of his. Once, however, her curiosity wan
so much excited by the homage paid to her husband, that
she wished to know what he could have written to make
him so much talked about ; so he gave her the French
I translation of the first volume of the Reisebilder." She
' bad not read long when Heine observed her turn very pale
and lay the book aside. He anxiously inquired what was the
matter. No answer. On looking at the book, he found
that she bad read just as tar as the first flirtation recorded
in the book. She was jealous. He assured her that a
this had been written long before he knew ber ; but she
granted hint absolution only on his promising never to de
such wicked things again, nor to write of them if he had
done any more before he knew her. To Madame Heine he
was not the great wit and poet ; he was to ber the most
indulgent and affectionate husband. To him sbe was his
doll, whom be liked to dress oat in all sorts of finery, fee
whom be ransacked the shops of milliners and confer
toners He liked to take ber out for a drive, to the
theatre, or to the concert ; be had a real horror of learned
women, she was a child in whose prattle he delighted.—
