From an Old Magazine.
Your European news seems at once
to please and surprise you, said u young
native girl TO her patron, an English gen.
tleman, who had laid down his hookah
after breakfast and was reading with
svidity parcel of letters he had just re-
celved from his mother country. "Tell
me. Charles, what are they about2'
Alter moments pause, the Briton
folded up the communication he had just
been residing, and with sad expression
fixed his eyes upon the girl addressing
him.
ALAS my love, they contain bad news
tor you
The poor girl started up and burst into
tears at the same time throwing her
beautiful arms around his neck. To ex-
plain their relative position would be un-
necessary. 1t will be sufficient to say
that she was one OF the lOveiest OF be-
ings il loveliness can Turk beneath u
diugy skin. Charles Temple was mar
ried man, whose wife had left him some
ten years before for Europe, in order to
bring up her children. Blame him, II
YOU will. To have formed such con.
nectOn rs that alluded 20 was palpa6ly
wrong; but, slssl the examples around,
the absence of his wife during series OF
years, the certainty that the iiason couli
at most be but temporary, pleaded with
those abcu' him Hs an excuse. With.
out, however, seeking to PALATE an evil

myself 10 the mere circumstances to
which this unhappy connection gave rise.
Do tell me what's the matter| again

the Young Indian, "what do those letters

"My wife is about to TO return to me-"
A thunderbolt would not more sudden Y,
more feartulIy, have stricken the inquirer.
For moment or two she seemed to en-.
deavor to call up tears to her aid, but in
vain. Anger and annoyance next
swayed her beautiful form rs she swung
backward and forwards IN mental agony
Yes, caimy resumed Temple, "my
wife Will be here next week. She Is Al.
ready at Madras, and comes around By
the first ship. l must Instantly 60 and
meet her at Calcutta"
"And what is to become OF me2' pas

"Mary,'you shall be cared for. Every

And YOU coolly tell this to me, who
have only lived for you? MOI Send
her away! l will be your slave; | will

she snatched up knife, which Temple
Instantly wrenched from her. To por-
trav the scene further is useless. IL Is
necessary TO say that a more heart
rendlng one WAS never beheld. Temple,
however, was firm, and the only boon be
GRANTED Mary WAS that she should live
in bungalow on the grounds and that
ms wife should never know who she was.
This seemed to pscity her, and Temple
started of Tor Calcutta
some weeks after the foregoing scene
