had actually trembIed beneath the 6ery
eye and Just Impressions of the man he
had SO cruelty wronged, and be now
walked impstiently away, muttering !
"He shall suffer for this, indeed he
shall, the impudent rascal" Fearing
that he was watched he did not return
home till after dark, and then By com
plicated and circuitons route. The dwell
ling which he entered was not the same
in which we saw Mrs. Gastone some
months before, but humble, even mean
in appearance. Three rooms-two of
them sleeping apartments-comprised
their present suite, and they procured
their, meals at Aeighboring eating house.
1t was a sad modification to the proud
woman, when told that they must reduce
their establishment, but as they received
no company, she consoled herself with
the thought that change of place could
not materially affect her. Her lover would
still be with her, and though she could
not but acknowledge that his presence
gave her less pleasure than formerly, still
she fancied-or at least hoped, that this
would not last long. She endeavored to
realize the visions Of bliss which hsrim=
agination had pictured to her, when the
world should no longer stand between
herself and the object of her passion; but
alas too soon she found that they wers
the widest dreams. 1t was some com.
fort that she had been allowed to retain
Emily, for mi loved her affectionately.
When Dr.. Boyd returned to his lodg.
ings after his public interview. with Mr..
Gastone, he was in state of irritability
and excitement, to which he had never
before yielded in her presence.

as he entered the room where tea was
waiting for him. .,
.'Matter % replied he, in laundering
voice 81 have been insulted to my face.
and you are the cause. Destruction and
furies 1 know not what prevented me
from killing him on the spot p
81 the cause of what ? Killed who ?'
she CRIED, in terror, becoming deadly
pale, "Pray, talk to me so that can

Your husband % roared he, in the
greatest rage "nsw do you understand ?
Surely, a man must be mad or fool, to
raise such a row merely because his wife
has gone. Two-thirds Of the men would
gladly rid themselves of their wives on
any condition. 1 tell you, Bella. if it
had not been for you, should not have
been insulted and cursed before an i'm

Do you comprehend ?" 'i y q +
The terrified woman understood but
too we'll. Fearing to irritate him still far
Their she replied not, but leaned her head
upon the bosom Of her child, and wept
violently. Insulted pride, as well as out
ragged affection, caused her tears.
"Crying forever that's the way with
women and children" he again exclaim-
ed. angrily but slightly recovering from
this tempest Of passion, he added, "Come,
Bella. give me some tea. have not
dined yet, thanks to this miserable busi-
ness"
"Dear Walter" said she, soothingly,
for she loved best and always used the
appelation he bore upon their first ac-
qusiatsnce, ''do not speak thus harshly
to me. My husband loved me-donbt-
less loves me still. And OIL know
how his heart yearns to clasp his child
once more to his bleeding, BOSOM,

Madam, it appears to me that your
pity is much misplaced /; that I-whoi

Bella approached, and placing her
