see my father 70 night said Mrs. For
rest Lynch, to her liege lord.
4 am very sorry. my dear, but am
obliged to go another way tonight, re-
piled Mr.. Forrest Lynch, b.andly.
That's just the way; you always have
to go somewhere else when want you
to 90 with me- aU
Bat, my dear Mary, you know must
attend to business
Business before yoor vile, always
i should be happy to go with you, but
lyou see business before pleasure
Mrs. Forrest Lynch was not even ap-
peased by this delicate compliment Her
husband kept a small store in large
town in Georgia. lie was always full Of
business; and somehow did not find time
to attend to her, as faithful and true
wife had a right to demand, II she
wanted him to go here his business re-
quired him to so there. II she wanted
him to stay at home, business required
him to 60 away.
The lady considered feS moments.
II w"s not right that she should be con.
tinually neglected She had some Of the
grit of the revolutionary forefathers, and
her certain iualienable rights had been
invaded. She was prudent woman, aud
yet she had about come to TIE conclusion
that II would pay to getup little domes-
tic ebullition. Her husband was always
civil to her, but he did not seem any more
| like husband than one Of her civil neigh
bors.
Forrest Lynch, said she at last, Il
must 60 up to my fathers tonight
Really my dear, don't see how it
win be possible
4 say must go, and you must 60 with
mel l
If has come to that, my dear, I must
say that you shall not CO. replied Mr..
Forrest Lynch. with emphasis.
Shall not?'
Il said So
But l say shall =
That will do. l have spoken, ard
what say mean
And what say mean, added Mrs.
Lyhcha 2 11e
phe husband was not little astonished.
His lady 0had not been in the habit OF
.peAking ia this decided manner, and he
was at loss to account for it. He left
the house and returned TO his store Mr.
Forrest Lynch was fond Of variety, so he
Kept variety store. Besides West India
goods, grain, meal and oroekery ware, %
kep' dry goods, and in one corner of his
establishment, he kept a millinery shop
This branch of business was under the
h r. Q Of young lady whom we shal
call Julia Wordley. Without being pref
~, there was something rather fascinat
Iiu { about her, and it had often been OBJ
served that Mr.. Forrest Lynch devoted
mtr1 att 'ntion to the millinery depart
ment of his store than any other.
! Mr.. Forrest Lynch was fond of varie
~; so he was not content with one legal
wife which the law and gospel allowed
him, and felt strong inclination to add
Julia Wordley to the number of his do
mestic comforts.
Whether the interesting millinor really
favored this object or not, time must de-
veop, but she certainly flirted with Mr..
Forrest Lynch; and if the wife that was,
and the wife that was coveted in addition
to her, had not been on excellent terms,
in all probability Mrs. Lynch would have
been Jealous and caused her husband some
uneasiness. loI ce sos
After leaving his legally constituted
lady, Mr.. Lynch repaired 0 his store,
and then to the millinery department there
Of s.Ha rF hslltIa
Our little scheme, julia said he.
'Well, said she, mischieyously.
SHE seemed to treat the whole matter
as a Jest, as firts and coquetts always do,
whatever they mean, Mr.. Lynch. how
ever, was satisfied that Julia loved him,
and was even Wiling to sacrifice herself
for him.
She had consented TO take little jour.
ney witk him for q day or two, when, as
Mr.. Forrest Lynch sacetiously observed
nobody, would know that she was not his
wife. 1t would be all the same a thou
sand years hence. Besides he loved her,
and he could not possibly live without
her And all that he had was hers; in
; short, he was her own, body and soul.
! Whether Miss Wordley approved this
style Of argument does not appear; at any
rate, sh5 received livery kindly, laughed
