is not this enough? To one, it is too
much!-He serenades you; the whole
town knows that he loves you, and you
encourage his serenadesr
Just because am passionately fond
of music. You knew this before we were
married, but since that time you appear
to have forgotten it; Edwal d still re-
members it, that's ALL
Eugene, do not drive me to ex
tremes.'
is it my fault if you are as jealous as
Spaniard, or a Turk himselfp
Il should not be jealous if he did not
follow you at every step, and you did
not promenade where you were sure to
meet him.
Am | always to go everywhere
alone?'
You admit all of this?'
Yes, admit it; consider Edward
very pleasant companion
DO you not 60 out for the purpose of
securing letters from him?
Il admit all-whatever you will.
Eugeniel cried Henry; in an lamost
sufocated voice, you arc deeply, deep
ly sunken!'
4 am as innocent of your charges as
was the day you married me- How
can help it, if the world Judges only
from appearance
DO you speak the truth?' cried Hen
ry, falling at her feet.
This is but another of the many false
accusations | am forcel to bear she re-
piled, as she played with her fan with
the utmost indifference.
'Oh, Eugenie! l beseech you, speak
but one earnest, sensible word, that
may doubt your constancy no longer;
you know feel love you honestly
and sincerely
Twill speak sensibly then; will con-
vince you-bnt only on one condition.
'What is it? Name it; and promise
to abide by it, no matter what it may
be-
Eugenie looked and smiled bewitch-
ingly; and, placing her finger into the
palm of her left hand at every word,
said slowly:
This condition is, that-I-may-see
--Edward--just--whenever-it--suit
me-
Never! never' he cried, as he arose
to his feet. This is the last day you
shall ever see him. And with these
word she lett the room.
He's jealous!' she said, laughing, after
he had departed. 'He wants me to do
everything to please him, while he
doesn't in the least try to please me; |
won't endure his whims, merely because
am his wife. From an adoring wor-
shipper he has grown, in the course Of
two years, to grumbling, fault finding,
and jealous husband. Now, We'll see
whether cannot change him. In the
first place, | will not deprive him of his
suspicious, but | will give him no salts
faction, and for the present he shall not
know the truth-that is, that he has not
the least cause for his jealousy And
after say ing this in a pouting tone, she
ordered her carriage and drove to the
Park, where she was certain of meeting
Edward.
And who was this Edward? n young
man who, though not handsome, still
could not be called homely, while his
talents were such as made him a gene
raj favorite among good society; and
moreover, being cousin of Eugene
hisattentions to her were bestowed mere
ly for the purpose ofexciting Henry;
jealousy.
But Henery was no Ounce. He ira
ced her to the Park, and from con
cealed place heard the conversation be
tween them. 1t required but moment
to satisfy him that his suspicious were
totally unfounded.
On her return, she found Henry iD hi'
room, and around his lips there played
bitter smile at her entrance. Sh'
seated herself and looked at him mis-
; chieviously.
AT the termination ofsueh pleasant
ly spent day. began Henry, very calm
ly, it is tiresome to listen to reproache
from a husbands lips. Is not so Eugene
But it cannot always continue so, 1o'
are heated, my dear; here is glass Q
water, drink it, and we well talk furthe
on the subject
With forced smile and assumed IL
difference he took the glass and drank
The rest is for me-, said Henry, a
he emptied the glass and placed it o
a the mantle-piece.
Now, one word, said he in SUI
pressed voice. Eugene, desire you
, make full confession; Iwant to hear tn
truth. Now, speak, for we have nc
much time; speak before the fatal po
! son operates.
"The poison!"
: yes, Eugene, we are both poison
+ ed, said Henry, coldly.
Help! help!, she cried, and sprang
d the bell.
Cease your cries, and be composed
no human power can save us now; it
the quickest and most deadly poison W
j. have taken.
o 'Oh! Henry, what have you done! VI
e my dear mother. | am yet SO younl
% % and must | die so soonl Help! help
q Eugene, must die also,' said Hel
ry, calmly.
