 About week ago, very respectable citizen of our neighboring burg of Newport, named Nhcklewalte, was applied to by gentleman for board and an apartment for himself and la dy. Mir. NJ. at first objected but the stranger was mportunate-alleging that his wife was Of so retiring disposition that she could not endure the gaze of the inmates of public. hotel, for which reason he was more than anX- ious to be accommodated. At length Mir. Mic klewaite consented to the arrangement: and. having prepared cozy little room for their re- ceptlon, the lady very magnificent speci- men of female loveiness-was duly inducted within her bower. It was matter of admira- ton to the host and hostess, the love and devo- ton which seemed to pervade the newly ar rived couple. It was evident that the honey moon at the full, and that |" two hearts that beat as one " inhabited the little snuggerv up stars, which, however, to the loving pair was whole world universe strewn with golden dreams and rosy flowers. But an old bafi-not Shakespeare mi either wrote or said;

For a while she tried those un- falling resources of womeu-tears and hystericS and then, while acknowledging her error, she paIlated it by pleading coldness upon his part which chilled her love and impressed her with the belief that he had ceased to care for her. ana now, ln despair of tEe loss ot his affection, she had imprudently, and in amoment of reck, less insanity listened to the seductive pieadings of his false friend; and then she fell upon her knees, and gazing upward through her tears her large and lustrous eyes fixed mourntullv upon his-she impIored him either to forgive or kill her.
