did not dare to venture out, and
at length excused herself politely
! to all visitors.
! This state of affairs continued
until the return of Mr.. Rivington
which took place rather sooner
than his wife anticipated. Lizzie
ran to meet him, and throwing
herself into his arms, burst into
tears.
"What ails my pet?' he asked,
as he kissed her afectionately.
"0h, Dudleyr' sobbed Lizzie,
s'there has been such a strange re-
port circulated throughout the
whole plaee-they said that you
and I had quarreled, and that was
the reason that you had gone
away and left me-"
A quizzical cir carie over Due-
ley's face as he replied:
"What very strange reports, my
dear, gain credence! How could
this have arisen, do you know"
His wife replied
II have not the slightest idea; |
am sure it could not have been for
anything that l have said, this
time"
Dudley passed his hand thought
fully across his face as he observed
slowly, ''Could it have been from
a remark that I made on the morn
ing l left you? l recollect now
meeting one Of the neighbors,
who inquired how you were. Ire
piled that you were very well
when I last saw you, but that we
had q few words together and sep
arated. [ noticed that he looked
rather surprised at my answer"
ooh, Dudley! how could you2"
exclaimed Lizzie.
"Why, my dear, l was only in
fun, and then besides it was strict
ly true; but people are so very
matter-of-fact--any one mis- ght
know that 1 would not leave you, no
matter for how short a time, with
out having a few parting words
with you"
"But it has placed me in such
very strange position. | did not
think that of you, Dudley"
MIR. Rivington folded his little
wife in his arms, and asked to be
forgiven. Lizzie had generosity
enough to see how much trouble
she had often been the cause of
bringing upon him in a similar
way, and now, in her turn, she
laughed heartily over the morti-
fication she had suffered.
Her husbands remedy proved
a most effectual one, and from that
time she was more careful to pre-
serve the truth in the spirit as
well as in the letter, Of what size

in your attempts to get on your
new coat, which was too small for
you, i answered her in the affirma.
tive. I quite enjoyed the good la
dy's look of eager curiosity, as she
received this piece of information,
and she soon after took her de.
parture, but [ never thought of her
telling it round"
"That was certainly agood foun-
dation for the report; she could not
have wished for a BETTER" said
Mr.. Rivington, calmly.
"What l said was ell perfectly
true, Dudley; but it was very
ridiculous of the woman to take me
so literally"
II am afraid, my dear, that your
fun will give me considerable trou
ble."
81 am very sorry" said Lizzie,
as she raised her sweet childish
face to his.
AS he bent down to imprint a
kiss on her rosy lips, he felt half
tempted to give up the plan which
he had formed for preventing fur
ther mischief, and he recoilected
the many times that her love of
fun had drawn them into trouble,
and with an effort he resolved to
carry it through.
81 shall have to leave you for a
few days, my dear" @
"Leave mel" she exclaimed, ''for
WHAT"
Il am obliged to go to A
tomorrow morning on business;
but l will make my stay as short
as possible"
1t was with a heavy heart that
Lizzie retired that night. She
could not hear the thought Of be-
ing separated from her husband
even for a few days, and her ever
active Imagination conjured up all
sorts of dreadful things which
might happen to one or the other
of them before they should meet
again: But it was necessary for
him to so, and the next morning
she followed him to the door, and
received his parting kiss, and then
returned to the room to cry. But
her spirits were not easily depressed
for a long time, and she soon dried
her tears, and busted herself about
the house, thinking all the time
how pleasant it would be to have
him return when the few days had
expired.
In the afternoon the bright sun
seemed to invite her out for walk,
and she accordingly went. She
met d number of her friends, but
some bowed coldly, while others
passed her by with a scornfhl look.
At one time she discovered two
ladies conversing together and
looking at her. What could it
mean? Then she caught the
words
every strange, is it not?"

they were SO unsuited to each 9TH
er, that one can scarcely wonder
at it"
"That is true," continued the
first, -''he is SO very grave, and she
SO full of mischief"
AS Lizzie walked quietly on,
wondering what they could mean,
and if it was possible that they
referred to her, she lost the re-
mainder of the conversation
Then the words reached her from
another direction
81 should not thipk she would
like to be seen out SO soon."
Andagain-.'I think twas her
extravaganza that drove him off"
Lizzie returned to her home,
feeling sick at heart, and earnest,

with her pretty, dimpled face, full
of mischief, always saying extrav'
agant things and giving people
wrong impressions, and yet she
bore the important title of Mrs.
Dudley Rivington. Her husband,
who was decidedly grave and Sc
date, thought she did not support
his name with sufficient dignity,
and he sometimes undertook to
lecture her upon what he consid-
cred her ''little falling" but with
some mischievous reply she was
always sure to put to flight his
gravity.
Every one wondered how two
people SO totally unlike as Dudley
Rivington and Lizzie Rising had
ever been drawn together; but it
is a true saying that people like
their opposites, and Mr.. Riving-
ton, who wGs at first shocked,
then amused by Lizzies pranks,
at length found himself in love
with the little Hoyden; while
Lizzie, who stood in considerable
awe of this gentleman, gradually
found her respect deepening into a
different feeling. And SO they
were married, and, different though
they were, no word of discord ev-
er marred their happiness. He
bore good naturedly with her mis-
chievous disposition, but at times
he would cast about in his own
mind for some way to cure her.
"My dear" said Mr.. Rivington,
one day, as he entered the apart.
ment where his bride was sitting,
II have heard something very
strange"
"W hat is it?' asked Lizzie.
81 have heard that your parents
were very much opposed to our
union, aud that we were obliged
to elopc at night by jumping out
Of the back window, and that then
we had gone Immediately to the
clergyman, and had been married
without the knowledge of our pa
rents, who, in consequence, had
disinherited you, and had refused
to have anything more to do with
you"
tHow very strange!' exclaimed
Lizzie; chow could such a report
have originated" ~
'THave you not said something
in fun which might have given rise
to it?'' s.
No." said Lizzie thoughtfully,
and then she added, ooh, now re-
member. The other day when
Sallie Brewster was here-you
know she has such a perfect horror
of old gentlemen-she asked me,
in her innocent way, how Icame
to marry a person 30 much older
than myself. For my part said
she, 4 never should wish to marry.

: "But, Lizzie, what did possess
you to say such athing?' continued
Mr. Rivington.
.-a0nly for mischief | meant to
have undeceived her before she
left me, but l forgot it." a
''Do you think it right to say
what is not true, even in fun, Liz
zie?" asked her husband, with a
grave look.
'sBut it was strictly true, Dudley;
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1862-04-03

for You recollect my telling you
that the night before we were mar
ried, l became alarmed by the cry
of fire next door, and sprang out
lof the window, which was near
the ground; and, as soon as the
first feeling of fear was over, | re-
turned to awaken nay father and
mother?" 30. @
/ "What you said then was true
in the letter, but was it SO in the
spirit?' asked Mr.. Rivington, as he
gazed earnestly into his wifeIs
face.
"Now, grandpa said Lizzie, as
she stroked down his whiskers,
"please don't preach me a sermon,
for l was only in fun when l said
It, and l think people might un-
,derstand me; every one is SO dread
fully matter-offact."
"But when you make your as
sertions with SO grave face, you
must expect people to think that
you mean what you say"
Lizzie laughed, and wondered
what made her husband SO very
sober, and wished that he was IA
little more playful; while he, in
his turn, wished that his wife was
not quite SO full Of spirits. But
he had still considerable annoyance
to go through with, before Lizzie
gave up this ''little failing"
1t was in vain that he talked to
her about dignity; her eyes would
dance with mischief as she listened
to him.
One day he went up to his wife
as she was looking out of the Win
dow, and putting his arm around
her, inquired why she was looking
out SO wistfully.
II was searching for some blue
SKY or sunshine, for | am perfect.

'"This is sad,' said her husband,
with an air Of mock solemnity,
s'tor | believe there is no lunatic
asylum very near here"
"Now, Mr.. Solomon, do be quiet!
there is no comfort in telling ones
troubles to you; | suppose you
would have me say that | should
rather like to go, wouldn't you?"
"You might express it rather
more strongly than that, Lizzie,
without being SO eXtravagant; you
will certainly get yourself into
trouble if you continue to talk in
this style, saying things you Go
not mean. 1t was only this morn
ing that L had failed, and my wife
was teaching a. school; do you
know how the report originated?'
"No, | am sure | do not"
care you certain that it has not
come of your mischief? Think" !"
Lizzie blushed, as she replied
evasively,"I suppose it might have
been through Mrs. Minus, she is

'sBut what should give her the

"Why, it was probably from a

back to her. What she had heard
puzzled her; she felt sure that some
false report had heen circulated.
but how she could not tell.
While she was musing ON this
subject the door opened, and Mrs.
A. was announced. Lizzie
rose to receive her visitor, who
remarked in a commiserating tone:
"You poor little creature! l have
come in on purpose to condole with
you'll"
"Thank you," said Lizzie, mis-
taking her meaning, 81 almost

eyes continued Mrs. A.;
"but you may be sure that every
one viii take your part, for people
always do sympathize with the la-
dies, you know. I think he was a
perfect wretch to leave you,' and
so soon, too"
Her meaning began to break up
on Lizzie's mind, and she exclain-
ed, almost fercely, "Of whom are
you speaking?"
"Mr. Rivington," replied Mrs.
A., in some surprise at Liz
zie's excited manner. 81 heard
that he had quarreled with you,
and that was the reason of the
separation; and knowing that you
must feel lonely, / hastened to Of

would excuse the intrusion"
Our heroine drew herself up with
considerable dignity as she replied,
''Allow nleto say you have been
misinforned; this is the first time
/ have heard of any quarrel, and
the separation was caused by some
business which has called my hus-
band away for a few days"
Mrs. A A-hastened to apollo
gize, and soon after left the house.
Then came honest little Sally
Brewster, who threw her arms
around Lizzie's neck, and exclaim-
ed in a tone of sincere sympathy
"My poor dear Mrs. -Rivington!
