comparatively happy and cheerful time.
AgLes upbraided her husband for his
absurdities, and he himself seemed to
see his conduct in the light of day, in
stead of the lurid glare of an insane,
Jealous dread. Still, married life was
palpable disappointment to Agnes, who
began to feel that if she must bend her
every faculty to the task of pleasing a
man whose brain seemed in whirl of
false and distorted ideas concerning her
and his love for her and her feelings for
him, she should lose all respect for, and
belief III her husband.
Toward the latter part of the time they
spent in London, her cousin, George
Dana, young man Of twenty two, whom
she had known ard loved like brother
from her infancy, happened to join their
party. His coming was the signal fer
the most violent outbreaks of jealousy on
Hugh Glendenning's part. His mind
seemed all astray; he was Indifferent to
the fact that he placed his wife in cruel
and humiliating position; he persisted in
the chimera that an easy habit of intimacy
with her Cousin George was the express
sion of a love which far surpassed her
| affection for himself. Again and again
he tainted and insulted her, till she i'm
plored her cousin to leave London.
George Dana, however, little guessing
Agnes's actual position with man who
was half insane, could not be induced
| to 60. He was not through with his
sightseeing; he vas interested in the
races; in short he liked being in London
at this time of the year better than being
anywhere else in Europe, and he insisted
on remaining, and even felt sort of
boyish satisfaction in augmenting Glen
denning' jealousy to the utmost BY con-
slant offers of attentions to the Young
wife.
By the first of July Hugh's business
was concluded, and he took Agnes to
France and Switzerland for month, but
the two were no longer on terms of affec-
tionate intimacy. Hugh was still jealous,
and regarded his wife's steady GOODNESS
as sign Of the most chilling indifference.
Agnes, on her side, fel: that to maintain
sem blance of buoyant happiness when
she felt so detected at the wav she had
been outraged was to lessen her dignity
as a woman. The two sailed from Havre
for New York on the 18th of August,
1856. On the seventh day out, when
they were half way across the ocean,
Hugh Glendenning was suddenly missed.
There was no trace of him on board the
steamer, and it was readily concluded
that the rash and unhappy young man had
thrown himself overheard.

trial for Agnes when she was forced to
believe that her husband had committed
suicide. She knew, too, that he had been
disheartened by her GOODNESS; again and
again she had repulsed him when he had
tried to have an. explanation with her
Naturally, now that he was gone, all the
generosity of her first love returned: she
forgot his faults, and remembered only bel
own: she accused herself of cruelty anC
, heartlessness, and sorrowed like the mos
despairing of widows.
It'seemed natural, under the circum
stances, that Agnes should not only
mourn, but mourn with peculiar hope
{ iessness, for her young husband, who hac

after their welding day. She sorrowed
