An Englishman,s Revenge.

One of the papers tells this week the story
Of wealthy Englishman, who may constantly
be seen at the grand opera and at the Italian
opera, and who enjoys a great reputation, not
only as being connoisseur of music, but fur
ther, as being. a great amateur of painting.
How the latter reputation was acquired you
will presently see He was, he is, one of those
Bedouin Englishmen, who live alternately in
all Of the European capitals, except when they
are on an occasional jaunt to Egypt, or to In
dia, or to China, or to the Holy Land. He
his bona fde wife, for, Notwithstanding his
errant life, ESQ apt to weaken ones morals, he
had all the English respect for the sex, and a
true Englishman's love for his wife. She wasa
beautiful woman, one Of those "keepsake" beau
ties, that once seen make o man dream forever.
Her social success was very great in all the
cities they visited. In Rome latter some years
marriage) they became acquainted with Ger
man artist, of good deal of reputation, who,
to his art joined the learning Of . Benedictine,
and knew the city Of Rome as well as Winckel-
man or Visconti The German volunteered to
be their. cicerone in the Eternal city; they
gladly accepted his offer; many were the hours
they passed away with him in the museum OF
the capitol in the Vatican, in St. Peters, and
in the delightful excursions they made in the
environs Of Rome. The artist became in love
with the English lady; she reciprocated his
affection. The husband, as is always the case,
was a long while in seeing the stain upon his
honor; several years had passed away before
he perceived it. for he was very much pleased
with the artist, and they had long been on the
most intimate footing. Although stung to the
quick by such base faithlessness and such gross
violation of oil the laws of hospitality and Of
friendship, he said nothing, he disliked scenes
he was, nevertheless, determined upon COM
plete vengeance, and he appealed to cooler
reflections to furnish forth suitable punish.
ment.
The passions are bad counsellors. He left
Italy and returned with his wife to England,
saying nothing but Al reuoir! to the artist.
When he reached England, he told his wife Of
the painful discovery he had made, and he
gave her back into her fathers hands. He then
returned to the Continent alone, and visited
Germany, Russia, and France, where he pur
chased q great many paintings; he then went
to Italy, meanwhile continuing to purchase

The facetious Charivari, from the time he
gave, some six months since, the ironical pro-
clamation of Prince Gortschakoff, upon the
"provisional occupation" Of the Danubian pro-
yinces, has many time spoken "truth severe
