has taken place, in our manners as in our ;
political institutions. We are no longer to ,
,envy the days of chivalry for their ronjan- .
tic and exalted notions, as the following nar- ,
'd ration will prove : A rich jeweller of St. ,
Honor£ was lately informed by his Jom.ftic, ,
that his wife was in bed with a young and
handsome depnty. " It is impossible," ]
said the mailer. "It is certain" replied ,
the servant. " Take care what you fav. ' r

to fee it also," Bef(sre the jeweller went c
up stairs to his faithlefs spouse, he, without t
the ki)6wledgeof the servant, raised a ladder j
to the window of the chamber. They then
went up stairs ; the jeweller entering firft, <
(hut the door, and having seen enough to -
convince him, said to his rival, " Let us ,
have 110 disturbance, citizen ; let pre- j
serve appearances. To mcfrrow, at 4 o' (
clock, you will meet me in the Champs t
Elylees. Every thing is prepared
for your flight get out of this win- t
dew." When this was done, the confide- }
rate Ccrnuto opened the doos, and calling in f
the servant, defned him to look around, ob- j
serving at the fame time " how deceitful ,
