tone.
In a fit of extravagsnt and passionate
love, she had married the latter gentle
man. and Of course greatly astonished
her husband. by appearing to him, &
few days after, perfectly cold and unap'
proachable.
Scarcely Eve years had passed since
their marriage, and so much had these
fits ofcoldness and neglect increased. that
she now seldom sacrificed her own selfish
feelings in the least to crafty him, bui
lived within and regarded herself as a be-
ing Of superior mould, from whom the
ordinary courtesies of life were not to be
expected. She balanced her many faults
BY two redeemiug qualities; q strong and
fervent affection for her children, and an
unbouDded benevolence, so far as the Civ
ing of property was concerned. Seldom
did any one reveal their sufferings to her,
without receiving ample, often extravs-
CANT assistance. But she knew nothing
of the true value Of money, and her hus-
band never ,eproached her.
Adrian Gastone was the exact oppo-
site of his wife. Though possessing a
quick, flashing spirit. as revealed by his
small. sparkling. restless dark eye. he
was man of untarnished honor. unyiel-
ding principles. untiring devotion to bust
ness. deeply and steadily interested in all
political movements and public i'm
provements, and above all, an unvarying-
ly kind and affectionate husband and
father. The immense changes in his wife.
which for long time puzzled him. had
produced some sorrow in his heart ; but
finding that they we're part Of her or
ganization, he philosopbically concluded
to trouble himself as little as possible
about them. When she loved him. he
was ready to receive her with open arms /;
when she hated him, he was still atten-
tive to her wishes. and kind even to affec-
ton. He little dreamed the depth Of mis-
cry to which she was reducing him-but
we will not anticipate.
