matter, which left me with a sore heart, for
II was the first time that any imputation
had been cast upon me. Then followed
the grand mistake Of my life. | am
not very stupid, hut the climate must have
softened my brain, or / could not have
been 80 blind. In our troupe was young
Scotchman, Anderson, n handsome, well.cdu-
Gated man, and an excellent pianist. ! sup
posed that his brilliant complexion was the re-
suit Of health, but it was only the indication
Of heart disease. ! liked him very we'll but
never dreamed Of anything more, though he
showed mo much attention. But while We
were playing in New Zealand one evening he
fell from the pianostoOl insensible. Wo werc
much alarmed, and had him carried to my
apartments and sent for medical aid. When
the doctor came he said that 1t was a terrible
attack OF heart disease, resulting in dropsy so
rapidly that they were obliged to cut open his
boots to draw them of. To move him. the
physicians said, would be fatal. ] therefore
gave up my apartments and took others, and,
without thought of evil, shared with my maid
In nursing him. for we were strangers in the
place. He was soon pronounced TO be dying,
and could lingcr but n few weeks. All at once
! was reused from my compassion to hear that
people were saying bad things of me, because

In that time to draw large sum Of my money
from the bank, which ho sent to his OWE
Iamily who proved, like himself, TO be without
honor. He was my frt husband, and ] could
not mourn him, for lad never loved. and
now ceased TO respect. My friends felt 1t 80
deeply that they resented my wearing black.
My second marriage was to Mr.. Hill, my prCs-
cnt husband. whom ! have known for many

" How s"ou after Mr.. Andcrson's death did
you marry again y
"Iou will he shocked when I tell you three
months but that was n marriage OF love. Mr..
Hill knew the unhappy circumstances had
suffered from. lie loved me, aud he thought
it nOuScnsc for us to wait the year etiquette

usual. Finally | consented but We made tho
mistake of clandestinc marriage, to have IL
discovered half an hour afterwatd, and
