THE name of Castlereagh is one
of the prcudest in the annals OF
English history, yet there is a tragic
chapter, and a closing chapter, too,
wherein we have depicted the fact
that the passions. and the results 10
which they lead, are confined to no
single class of social life, but are
common to high and low alike.
In his old age the proud Lord Cas-
tlereagh espouSed beautiful lady
young enough to be his daughter,
and whose extreme loneliness of per
son was the theme of her day.
Though proud of this extraordinary
attractivcness, and himself fully ac-
knowledging its power over the eye
and the heart, yet it was destined
to be a source of endless disquiet and
misery to the proud old noble. He
could not but realize within himself
the great incongruity of their union.
and this soon inspired him with
doubts and suspicious. The fact
that these were of the most unjust
character mattered not to him. The
Slime mad devil of jealousy reigned
exercise the fend.
He felt ashamed of this, for he re-
allied that no passion is more base
or seeks more to hide itself. 1t is 50
ignominious that we blush to ac-
knowledge it even to ourselves a
passion which must be either stran.
gled in its birth, or it will soon as.
sumo such strength and proportions
as to be even too powerful for truth
itself, Lord Castlereagh thought il
impossible that he could fix the at
tention and affection of his wife. and
equally impossible that she could re-
main insensible to the attentions OF
younger men, so he set himself the
unwelcome task of watching her.
Lady Castlereagh was a person OF
lofty character, great pride of birth
and, above all, incapable of premedi
tated wrong or falSehood But she
found her position to be very try.
ing one, for she could not be BLIND
to the jealousy of her husband. Con
scious, however. of not meriting his
uisapprovai in the slightest degree
she maintained the even tenor of hel
life, trying to ignore the weakness
of her huS bands character. Sucl
beauty could not remain unrecog
nized. That was not to be expected
but, beyond the point of true re
spect, no admirer ever paid homag,
to her ladyship.
Among the personal friends o
both herself and her husband wa.
the duke of Cambridge, whose ad
! miration. always open and respect
full for Lady Castlereagh, was We
entirely undisguised, as it was faint
ed by no sentiment which rendered

secrecy necessary. The acquaintance
existing between them, however, was
a source of intense disquiet to the
husband. and he went so far as to
forbid her TO receive him at all. This
was an absurd prohibition, which it
was quite impossible for her to obey,
no less on her husbands account
than on that of her own sense OF
propriety.
One evening Lord Castlereagh, on
entering his wife's salon, felt CON
WINGED that she had not been entirely
alone, and asked her in a most eX-
cited and angry manner if she had
received any visitor. For moment.
so terrified was the lady at his vio-
lent manner and the suddenness of
the demand, that she forgot the
native truthfulness of her character,
and resorted to falsehood.
1t was "A terrible mistake, for she
had done nothing wrong. The lie
was fatal one.
"You say there has been no one
here?" he reiterated, with his face
flushed in anger.

what is that?" he asked, as he
pointed to a riding-whip lying upon
the couch.
"A" she hesitated.
Enough: you need not add to the
lie" he said, bitterly, as he took up
the whip and examined it.
The lady stood with downcast eyes.
"Do you know these arms?" he

ment on the handle.

1t was enough. His fury knew no
bounds. He seized the riding-whip and

blow was really nothing in its physical
effects, but it was fatal morally. Both

TO eat a lot of this whisky-soaked
stuff he thought he would make them
drunk, and then il would be an easy
matter to catch them. He thought
they would eat until they were drunk
and then keel over in the yard, so he
would have nothing to do but pick
them up. He shelled out enough rice
TO make a drove of hogs drunk, and
he began to think his little experiment
was going to prove a failure. The
pigeons did not fail to show the effects
of the whisky. They were decidedly
boozy, and seemed to be having a deal
of fun out of the game. They would
hop around on the ground quite mer-
-rily, and would now and then take a
little whirl up in the air Just for the
fun of the thing. Directly one of the
pigeons flew up to the little house in
che rear of the yard. Soon another
followed. This thing kept up until

into the pigeon house. There was a

One of the newest IDEAS is to dress
the hair in a series of graceful puffs,
allowing the last one TO fall well over
the neck. Another effective low dress
ing shows group of two puffs finished
with low coil on the neck. Still an
other artistic couture is the loose coil
arranged low on the neck, with the
hair brushed back in a soft pompadour
in front and then arranged in undu-
