The following Anecdote much engages the atten-
tion and chitchat of the fashionable circles :—A
Lady of birth, fortune, and accomplishments, hay.
ing ocular proof of an improper intimacy subsisting
between her husband and her own servant woman,
took the opportunity, next day, of her husband's
absence, to inform the woman that she had no
further occasion for her service, and paying her
what wages were due to her, ordered her to leave
the house direfily. The husband, on his return,
being informed of what had happened, ordered his
carriage to be got ready, and told his Lady she
must instantly return to her friends, as it was his
determination not to live with her any longer.
The Lady, with that fortitude which innocence in.
spires, yielded immediate compliance, and was re.
ceived by her friends, after hearing the circum..
stances, with all possible tenderness and affection,
her father observing, that if ever she returned again
to her husband, she must never expect to find a se-
cond asylum in his house ; and here the affair at pre-
sent rests. The result time will not fail to unravel.
