THE wIFE's REVENGE.

Two years since q young and beautiful
lady of Bologna married the descendant
Of a family well knowr to history, whose
illustlious name was al that the brides
groom possessed, but the generous 30
lognese, in the ardor Of her attachment
overlooked the poverty of her lover, in
the hope and expectation of a proper re
;,!rn of her disinterestel love.
For year all was happiness; but last
summer, being on an excursion to Ven
ice, they formed an acquaintance with a
family from Paris A young widow OF
that family was very gay, beautiful and
fascinating, and possessing a profusion
of golden tressos which might have done
honor to the he;,d Of an Eve OF Ophelia,
attracting the attention of the Marquis
Della R. Her otlier charms might
have failed, but her beautiful ringlets
were irresistible, and .orgetting the at
fractions of his young and lovely marches
whose rich dark hair would have We'd
with Capello, Cernaro, or a Juliet
even,of Capulets, he became ensnared by
fhe fair head Of the lovely Partisan.
After month, the family, including
the gay widow, returned to Paris, and in
another little month"; the Marquis re-
ceived pressing call to Rome upon bust
ness Of Importance; and leaving his lady
20 return to Milan at her leisure, he took
post for Paris with all possible expedi-
tion, where he had been q fortnight be-
fore the neglected Marches, who had re-
Turned home, discovered the singular cr-
ror in the compass, ty which her hus-
bands course to Rome had been diversed,
by means of friendly letter, apprsins
Aor that her husband was inccssant in at
.sation to the boldest cf beauties and her
Instant attendant to the Theatre Italian,
asa other places OF amusement.
-Phe lady called her counsel and they
concluded to follow the Marquis to Paris
,.itbout delay. Previous to her depart
ire, the lady was busy in making re-
searches of IL singular nature. The trou-
blous times Of Italy during its intestine
broils bad furnished tradition and memories
melancholy catastrophcs by steel and
poison, and not few were the modes by
which sure and sudden death might be in
ficted.
In the archives Of the family of the
jealous lady were notices Of an heirloom,
in form Of ring, concealed in the setting
of which was small gold globe, and in
the interior of which WAS inserted y poi
son similar in effects TO prnssic acid. This
could be borne in the mouth without dan
Ger. unless crushed between the teeth,
and then instant death would follow.
Secure Of this valuable jewel, the de-
a5rtcd marches arrived in Paris, and was
aindiy received into the house of her
liend married to fnancier of eminence
IN the city, and man Of considers
.ioa; and among many circumstances
..l..e....,..tod to disturb her, she learned
Aat her husband was. tlo next Monday
}o,attond The fair widow TO ball, TO be
riven at the house of q former deputy OF
the sessiony which with many other
;hinss. was broken up i'll 1913.
To this ball her friend consented to ac-
ooupany her, and the hour impatiently
expected at length arrived. Robed i'll
black velvet, with rich aces, which set
off to advantage her Gear complexion
dark eyes snd hair, she vas superb; she
was dazzling. WiSh fire in her eyes
majestic in deportmen., The naughty
bcauty strobe through the room, Ghe
crowd opening IS she advanccd0 and
proceeded 10 & little saicon, Lighted by
lamps, among the flowers, and al some
little distance from the orchestra. There
She awaited her dreaded rival and hcl
companion, intending to appear suddenly
before them, conlound tic lady, freezing
her in constant husband by glance, an(
thcn to complete the catastrophe
The pair arrived. Taking her ffienl
by the hand, the marches arose, putting
into Der moath, at the same time, the
fatal ball. Tie metal is thin, and tho
least compression OF The teeth, the deadly
find would be elected, and she would
fall { corpse heforc the thundcg-stricllcr
pair. Behold this beautiful woman re-
cciving attentions, with a smile upon hcl
