iiiscrietude do I resist the thoughts of an absence, however short.,
wording to common computaelon, from the idol of my soul—from
an my soul bolds dear. Tiwipring is not so welcome to thermals,'
the moon to the lark, nor the night to the awl, as the form of Mary
to my eyes, the voice of Mary to my ears. All is night and dart•
ness when yak are fmm me. The sun rime not till you approach,
and sets not tin you depart. Oh! may the time soon arrive when
it win constantly shine upon me.—Be assured that I aln, and ever
shall be, your own afectionate husband and lover, aJ. M."

" If 'Sou wilt bum or bring with you my letters, Ton Orfil much
oblige me, for if confidence be destroyed, I can sorely feel no plea-
sure, but pain, in your retaining them vend I can obo never find
pleasure in the receipt of letters from so general a correspondent—
at least, letters of such a tenant as the one which I hold in my hand.
Oh'.-could I suppose that hypocrisy—l ant bewildered."

" Ddr DIARIST MAST—I have a particular msestloo to pit to you
respecting something that was said last night. Why was the time
of az weeks mentioned so particularly by a certain person as the
time during which be bad been so unkindly treated? Was it so
I lately as six weeks since that your kindness to him was manifest 1.
Take are of yourself io every sense of the word. Beware of irri-
eating by injudicious bickering. Firmness, without exasperating lan-
guage, will be every way better. Besides, my dear love, if he had not
power, bow could be enrage you? There is something, also, very
'unfeminine in constant, leud,and angry altercation and sealing. Be
careful and regular In taking your medicine. Remember that, with
your own, you have my health 10 care, and be proportionably atten-
tive. The health-and happiness of three depend upon you. I shall
be miserable, my dearest love, till I hear from you, and that yore
are 'as stiles can be expected.' This old hacknied phrase, which
I have frequently smiled at almost whir contempt, I now mile at
with the greatest pleasure.
" MY Dean GlRL—Years of pleasure could net atone for the nn.
utterable misery I endured this morning ors beholding your 'cruel
father. Being year father, I could not assault him. As for the
other I hold him undeserving of a thought ; nor could I, pro.
leasing a spark ofpeoper feeling, do more than'difend myself against
his puny attack. I my, without boasting, that it will be well for
him henceforth studiously to avoid me.—Your affectionate and at-
cached, but wretched, M."
The last of the letters of the defendant's to the plaintiff
wife-contains the following:
•

" dare not ask bow yesterday evening passed of. It was un-
avoidable; but the knowledge that you even slept in the house
after the scene of yesterday morning is agonizing to nae The
event of yesterday has rendered my longer dwelling here totally im-
possible. Every hour may bring my departure : therefore urge
forward some place that may remove you from your present abode,
or throw you into my arms fur ever. You will pardon me, my
love, for saying that I think you do not, and have out, sufficiently'
pressed foreard the negotiations for separation. I implore you, at
any rate, to see me speedily. I have a thousand things to say, and
may be gone far frum you before I have an opportunity. And what
will then be my fate ? Madness or death.
The defendant, after the desired interview, came up
to town iu tine Berkeley Hunt comb, under the name)
of Roberts, and was speedily followed by the unfol to.
nate woman.

The,Under-Sheriff briefly recapitulated the evidence,
and the Jury, after two hours' deliberation, assessed the
damages at 7001.
Many stogies are told of the hair-breaJth escapes
which the defendant had, daring his stolen visits to the
house of the plaintiff; one deserves to be noticed. Some
time after the defendant became ethnically intimate
with Mrs. Rawlings, she absented herself from her hus-
band's bed on pretence of indisposition, and took the
servant girl to sleep with her. One evening the hus-
band entered his wife's room to ask after her health.
He approached the bed, and laid his hand,as he thought,
upon the shoulder of the servant maid. His wile re-,
proached him for the indelicacy; and insisted on his
leaving the room. He did so ; but he met the servant
girl on the stairs. He returned, in order to punish hi,
dithonouter, but was too late to prevent a leap out of
the window.
