Ladies and gentlemen who do not strire TO be
happy, cannot be happy If married people do not
find happiness at home they NAV be sure that
they will not find it any where else. And yet
home is the very place where very few of them
look for it. Julia &c We're, the spoiled child of
distinguished family, was married at eighteen to
one ofthose light and lively men of fashion about
town, who exhibit themselves nicely adonized in
the Parks, and at the windows of Crockford's club
Lord Frederick Flauntington IN elegant ofthe
highest ORDER brilliant Of the first water He was
OF susceptible temp permanent, because enamored
Of Julia de We're, and thought she would make
him very excellent wife. Julia thought Lord
Frederick handsome fellow, and that her happ-
ness would be complete when she became his wife
They married, the ceremony performed by
special licence in the grand drawing room of the
mansion of the Earl of Wattleton, the noble pa
rent of the happy bridegroom there was splen-
did banquet given on the occasion, and after the
ceremony, the happy pair, to quote The s'Morning
Post, set off for Crownsnest Park, the seat of
Lod Toddlikins, the uncle of the fair bride, to
spend the honeymoon Thus ended chaper the first
Of the lives of Lord Frederick Fiauntington and
julia de We're.
The first month was spent in the greatest elr-
ity Julia adored Lord Frederick, and he thought
his bride perfect angel. Had they remained in
the solitude of Crownstall their lives, this pleas
ant dream might not have been dispclled but the
honeymoon beng over, they quilted the scene of
their happiness, and again the elegant Frederick
and the beautiful Julia were in the throng of fash.
ion.
Frederick reioined his old companions, and his
old habits were soon revived. AT CrownSnest,ev
cry hour of his life had been passed with his be-
loved Julia, now that beautiful young lady did
not cast her pretty eyes upon him above once or
twice day, and then he always upon the
wing. He had 50 many engagements upon his
hands, he had much business to attend to, that
few the moments he could devote to his
bride.
And Julia, who when at Crownsnest Mad studied
her husbands inclnatons, and endeavored to ant
icipate his wishes and who had then still exercised
those little arts of temper and dress which had
gained for her, her husbands love, bacnme indf.
ferent and neglected.. She also had engagements
and business to attend to and preform, and instead
of every thing else being neglected but her hus-
band he eventually became the last person in the
world whose comforts she studied. And yet she
fancied that she was dischargng all wife's duties
with credit and honor. She iancie4 that if she look
ed into thp affairs of his household to see that he
was not being ruined by his domcstics, and always
met him with smile, she had nothing more to do;
md she therefore, considered it very barbarous in
him when rumours of his infdelity reached her
ears.
In fact Lord Frederick had been entertained at
dinner party enc evening, where the reigning
beauty of the day, 4 Miss Bijouton was present.
Lord Frederick susceptible heart was on fire in
moment lie became violently in love with her.
But the honorable character of the lady forbade
the avowal of his sentiments He could think
OF nobody but Miss B. He could not eat, drink
sleep the image Of Miss Bijouton was constant
ly before hun, she the constant object of his
thoughts, His poor Julia was more neg ected
than ever
Lord Frederick 'strovc to master the guilty pas
sion but in vain the fire in his heart burnt the
Gercer the more he attempted TO allay it. Numer-
Gus were the presents he sent anonymously TO
Miss Bjouton. Articles of jewclry were constant
ly being forwarded to her, and the beauty could
not comprehend where they came from. Her Gu
riosity was excited, and she determined to enceav
or to find out her mysterious admlrer. Lord Fred
erck s plan was deeper one he thought that
by his presents he should W in the fair one graf
itude, and that when opportunity offered lie would
disclose himself But woman's wit is always su-
peror to mans, Miss Bijonton set her wits to
work, and having been introduced to Julia at
private party at the house ofone of her frends,and
became much attached to the neglected wife, she
consulted her upon the subject, and they agreed
the when the messenger appeared again, the
servants should give Miss Bijouton notice, and
that she should endeavor to bride him to the be-
trayal ofhis master. 1t happened that just they
had come this TO conclusion, and were standing
at the drawing room window, waiting for Jnias
