The Happy Unhappy Couple.

We may be wrong but some how or other,
when We hear couple "iny dearing' "my
loving each other, in society, we cannot help
, thinking that they lead catand-dog life az
home We have had this demonstration 30
often, that 1t appears like fixed fact in our
mind. But whether this honeymoon style Of
address be genuine or Affected, we dislike TO
hear 1t very. much. Terms of such warm en-.
dearrnent should be left for the closet. There
is enough of the animal about II to make Il
about as disgusting and indecent as the parad-
ing oil bridal chambers on steamboats, and ho-
tels; aud We look upon the latter rs the very
acme of indclicacy.
There were Mr.. and Mrs. Stnbbs that wo
had the infelicity Of knowing, some years ego.
couple OF more loving people, In company,
never existed. They were billing and cooing
all the time. Mr.. s. appeared 10 kind and
attentive, that 1t seemed M though no could
not let the winds Of heaven blow upon her
ever 30 gently.
"Leonora my dovy, don't sit too near the
| window, In the draft; ! know that Il will take
cold, and then what will poor lubby doi
/ Then she replies:
"No danger, Lubby dear, and tho fresh air
"Thank you, my love-"
Darling i.e0f;o1:., yye., know you must
take care Of yourself, for Lubby's sake: for
what would be this glittering world but q dis.
nal tomb, without you. Kiss me, dearl"
Many such scenes have we witnessed be-
tween this happy couple. We were young
then and wc thought 1t real, and sighed TO
think, when IL became our turn to wear tho
bands Of mairimony, II we should be as hap
py as Mr.. and Mrs. Stubbs appeared to be.
We have been rather rudely awakened from
the dream Of our youth, and have long since
discovered that Mr.. and Mrs. Stubbs were
hypocrites, who assumed, with their party
dress, the garb in which we have endeayored
TO portray them. We were shocked the first
time we dicovercd the true condition Of things
between Mr.. and Mrs. Stnbbs.
We had been In tho habit Of calling IN upon
the SIS sans ceren'onie. Ono day, sitter stroll
ing round the garden, we went Into the house,
and meeting no one, VIC walked into tho parlor
which lay upon the centre table. We had
scarcely been seated moment when VIC were
startled by aloud, angry alteration in the next
room. The voices sounded very much like
those under the government Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stuobs, but seemed 80 Impossible, that we felt
inclined to doubt the evidence Of our senses,
until narnes were given, which no longer len
room to doubt
II don't care what yon say, Mr.. Stubbs; ir

An hysteric scream followed this cruel
