Lady Bulwer had in her possession several let
! ters from her husband, filed with fearful menaces
and the most stinsuIting accusations. Bulwer, when
Informed BY Lady Bulwers lawyer of the exist
ence of those papers, said, inreply :. do assure
| you, the letters mere torgeTses. never wrote
any thing of the kind III my life.
9, But my dear SIR replied the lawyer, I" adj
Uniting tina, the handwriting, and your own seal
nigh, have been initiated, the Yost-aarts could
not have been forged. And then, woman would
hardly write herself the. accusations the letters

| Bulwer, in the haste and blindness of his exci,a-
BILE passions, not seeing the snare In which ne was
caught, re,or1ed: Let tell you sir, that every
/ word Of these accusations is true In one breath
he denied ali knowledge Of the letters in the next
he showed himself SO perfectly acquainted with
! their contents, that he was readyto maintain their
truth and justice!
These papers be became exceedingly anxious TO
regain, as they might at some time be used TO his
disadvantage. In the daily habit of framing hctl-
tious plots to delight the public, he new essayed to
form which should be realized In actual lie Tor

Lady Buwer was then residing in Paris, ard her
! husband in London. Her femme de c&am6re, VINO
was much attached to her, was one evening way
| laid in the street by a couple of men. They com
menced conversation by saying that they knew her
| to be in Lady Bulwers employment, and that they
| had something 10 communicate, which would be
/ of service to her mistress. The girl,Son hearing
| this, naturally enough gave them her attention
| But they seemed inclined TO chat awhile before
they afforded her the promised information.
:" Does Lady Bulwer treat you wellY' asked
one Would you not like to have place where
you could get higher wages 2"
81 She treats me very well, !" replied the girl; L
| am. satisfied where l am "
Bot does MT she ever get into passion with
you2 inquired the other man.
NO. sir, she does not
| "Well, have you never observed any thing i'm.
| proper in her conduct, which you could let US
| know Come, now, be good girl, and tell us
all about her., and you shall not repent of It.
y" [ have nothing to tell, answered the girl, who

| home quietly.
(" You shall 20 in moment; but first think
little whether you cannot rem6emer semsthing She
has done which was not exactly The thing-some-
! thing little out of the way -
{" / have never seen any thing at all out OF the

q But do MT you think continued the man,

"e could not tell you any thing if you were to
give me ve thousand, said the girl, SO pray let
me go; and she attempted to hurry away. :
9. Net till you promise that you will say nothing
to your mistress of having met US! If you refuse
you never spoke words in your life that you Will
have such cause to repent. as
zH~I shall rot say any thing-I promise you
will not--only let me go! And the girl broke
away from them, and fastened home.
She at first deferred, by the threats OF the
men from disclosing to Lady Balwer her CONVEX
sation with them But her love for her mistress,
and her dread that some secret plot was torn1lng
prehenson.9 She went to Lady Bulwer and re-
lated what had occurred. Lady Bulwer at once
felt the conviction that these catitis were bat IN
strunents in the hands of her husband. She told
the GRIT that should they meet her again, she must
eviHce no alarm; but rather draw them into con-
versatien with view of discovering their object
in making such inquiries. Ii they made her any
proposition, she must neither refuse nor acceptlt;
but tell them she would converse with them again
on The subject, and Immediately return home and
communicate what had transplred . s,
In less than a week the girl was again accos'ea
! by the Same men, who were proving about near
| the door Of Lady Buwel's residence. She fol-
lowed the instructions Of her mistress; and as soon
as they were out of sight ran home and instantly
made Lady Bulwer acquainted with what mad
taken place.
The men, after trying to get her to say that she
| had seen Lady Buwer commit some indiscreeion,
or 20 bripg soma charge against her, which she
could be bribed to maintain in u court OF justice,
and finding that she did not choose to accuse her
mistress falsely, attempted another game 1 hey
/ asked the girl if she could not manage, should
they give her large sum of money for her trouble,
| 10 conceal them at night in Lady Buwer's cham
Der? Their object, they said, was TO possess them
selves Of some valuable papers in her escrito,rc,
| and told the girl that she need not be fearful OF
! being discovered, as they would take care that
Lady Buiwer should never mention the subject
| Ehe girl replied that it would take some time for
| her to make up, her mind, bntth she would meet
| them the next evening, and let them know what
! she had concluded 10 do. Delighted with their
success, they left her, promising Huniiicent re-
ward for her services.
Lady Bulwer instructed the faithful creature TO
keep her appointment with the men; ard to tell
them that they should be admitted 10 her mis,resss
