MI suppose, Mr. Caudle, you call yourself a man ? I'm sure, such men should never have Wives. If I could have thought it possible you'd have behaved as you have done and I might, if I liatin't been a forgiving creature, for you've never been like anybody else if I could only have thought it, you'd never have dragged me to foreign parts. Never 1 Well, I did say to myself, if lie goes to Franco, per haps he may catch a little politeness but no; you began as Caudle, and as Caudle you'll end. I'm to be neglected through life, now. Oh yes ! I've quite given up all thoughts of anything but wretchedness I've made up my tnind to misery, now. You're glad of it? Well, you must have a heart to say that I I declare to you, Caudle, as true as I'm an ill used woman, if it wasn't for the dear children far away in blessed England if it wasn't for them, I'd never go back with you. No; I'd leave you in this very place. Yes; I'd go into a convent; for a lady ou board told me there whs plenty of 'em here. I'd go and be a nun for the rest of my days, and I see nothing to laugh at, Mr. Caudle; that you should be bhiking the bed-things up and down in that way. liut you always laugh at other people's feelings; I wish you'd only some yourself. I'd be a nun, or a Sister of Charity. Impos Billo. 11a 1 Mr. Caudle, you don't know even now what I can be when my blood's up. Ycu' ve trod upon the worm long enough; some day won't you be sorry for it ? "Now, none of your profane cryings out 1 Ytu needn't talk about Heaven in that way ; I'm sure you're the last person who ought. "What I say is this your conduct at the Cus tom House was shameful cruel ! And in a foreign land, too I But you brought mo hero that I might be insulted; you'd no other reason for dragging nie from Ungland. Ha ! let me once get home, Mr. Caudle, and you may wear your tongue out before you got me into outlandish places again. What have you done f There, now, that's where you are so aggravating. You behave worse than any Turk to nie what 1 You visit you were a Turk? Well, I think that's a pretty wish before your lawful wife ! Yes ! a nice Turk you'd make, wouldn't you? Don't think it. "What have you done? Well, it's a good thing I can't see you, for I'm sure you must blush. Done, indeed ! Why, when the brutes searched my basket at the Custom House 1 A regular thing, is it ? Then, if you knew that, Why did you bring me here ? No man who respected his wife would. And you could Stand by and see that fellow with moustaches rummage my basket ; and pull out my night cap and rumple the borders, and well I if you'd had the proper feelings of a husband, your blood would have boiled again. But no I There you stood, looking as mild as butter at the man, and never said a word ; not when he crumpled my night-cap it went to my heart like a stab crumpled it as if it was any duster. I dare say, if it had been Miss J'retty ynan's night-cap oh ! I don't care about your groaning if it had been her night-cap, her hair-brush, her curl-papers, you'd have said Something then. Uli, anybody with the spirit of a man would have spoken out if the fellow had had a thousand swords at his side. Well, all I know is this ; if I'd have married some body I could name, he wouldn't have suffered me to bo treated in that way not he 1 "Now, don't hope to go to sleep, Mr. Caudle, and think to silence mo in that manner. I know your art, but it won't do. It wasn't enough that my basket was turned topsy turvey, but before I knew it they spun me into another room, and How could you help that? Yon never tried to help it. No; although it was a foreign land, and I don't tspeak French not but that I know a good deal more of it than some people who give themselves airs about it although I don't speak their nasty gibberish, still you let them take me away, and never cared how I was ever to lind you again, in a strange country, too ! But I've no doubt that that's just what you wished; yes, you'd have been glad enough I to get rid of me in that cowardly manner. If II could only know your secret thoughts, caudie, mat 8 vriiiii, vuu urount me neru iur, to lose me. And after the wife I've been to you 1 "What are you crying out ? For mercy's sake? Yes; a great deal you know about mercy 1 Klse you'd never have suffered me to bo twisted into that room. To be searched, indeed ! As if I'd anything smuggled about me. Well, I will say it; after the way in which I've been used, if you'd the proper feelings of a man, you wouldn't sleep again for six months. Well, I know there was nobody but women there; but that's nothing to do with it. I'm sure, if I'd been taken up for picking pockets, they couldn't have used me worse. To be treated bo and 'specially by one's own Sex ! it's that that aggravates me. "And that's all you can say t What could you do ? Why, break open the door; I'm sure you must have heard my voice: you shall never make me believe you couldn't hear that. Whenever I shall sew the strings on again, I can't tell. If they didn't turn me out like a ship in a storm, I'm a sinner I And you laughed I You didn't laugh ? Don't tell me; you laugh when you don't know anything about it; but I do. "And a pretty place you have brought mo to. A most respectable place, I must say 1 WThere the women walk about without any bonnets to their heads, and the fish-girls with their bare legs well, you don't catch me eat ing any fish while I'm here. Why not 1 Why not, do you think I'd encourage people ot that sort? . "What do you say ? (,ood-night? It s no use saying that I can't go to sleep so soon as you can. Especially with a door that has such a lock as that to it. How do we know who may come in ? What 1 All the locks are had in France ? The more shame for you to bring me to such a place, then. It only shows how you value me. , "Well, I dare say you are tired. am ! But then, see what I've gone through. Well, we won't quarrel in a barbarous country. We won't do that. Caudle, dear, what's the French for lace? I know it, only I forget it. The Frenoh for lace, lnve ? What r IhntMe ? How you're not deceiving me? You never deceived me yet? Oh 1 donH say that. There isn't a married man in mis uiessea worm can put his hand upon his heart in bed, and say hat. French tor lace, dear ? Say it again. .. . . ..i .11.. rJ .,-,.i.

T.V. ci.a w..nt out in the morning with the landlady to buy a veil, giving only four pounds for what she could have bought in England for forty shillings 1" THE TWENTY-SEVENTH LECTURE. MRS.

"There, it isn't often often that I ask you to do anything for me, Mr. Caudle, goodness knows 1 and when I do, I'm always refused of course. Oh, yes ! anybody but your own lawful wife. Every other husband aboard the boat could behave like a husband but I was left to shift for myself. To bo sure, that's nothing new;-1 always am. Every other man worthy to be called a man, could smuggle a few things for his wife but I might as well be alone in the world. Not one poor half dozen of silk stockings could you put in your bat for me; and every body else was rolled in lace, and I don't know what. Eh? What, Mr. Caudle? What do 1 want with silk stock -inasf Well, it's come to something, now t Tiie re was a time, 1 believe, when 1 had a foot yes, and an ankle, too; but when once a woman's married, she has nothing of the sort, of course No: I'm not a cherub, Mr. Caudle; don't say that. I know very well what I am. "I dare say now, you'd have been delighted to smuggle for Miss 1'rettyman? Silk stock ings become her! You wish Miss I'rc.ttymau was in the noon? Not you, Mr. Caudle; that's only your art your hypocrisy. A nice per son, too, she'd be for the moon; it would be none the brighter for her being in it, I know. And when you saw the Custom House ollioers look at me, as though they were piercing me through, what was your conduct? Shameful. Y'ou twittered about, and fidgeted, and flushed up as if I really was a smuggler. So I was? What had that to d o with it.' It wasn't the part of a husband, I think, to fidget in that way, and show it. You couldn't help it.' Humph? And yon call yourself a person of strong mind, I believe? One of the lords of creation! Hat ha! couldn't help it! "But I may do all I can to save the money, and this is always my reward. .Yes, Mr. Caudle, I shall aavo a great deal. How much 1 I sha'n't tell you. I know your meauness you'd want to stop it out of the house allow ance. No: it's nothing to you where I got the money from to buy so many things. The money was my own Well, and if it was yours first, that's nothing to do with it. No; I hav'n't saved it out of the puddings. But it's always the woman who saves who's des pised. It's only your line lady-wives who're properly thought of. If I was to ruin you, Caudle, then you'd think something of me. "I sha'n't go to sleep. It's very well for you who're no sooner in bed, than you're fast as a church; but I can't sleep in that way. It's my mind keeps me awake. And after ail, I do feel so happy to-night; it's very hard I cannot enjoy my thoughts. No: I can't think in silence! There's much enjoyment in that to be sure 1 I've no doubt now you could listen to Miss Prettyniau oh, I don't care, I will speak. It was a little more than odd, I think, that sho should be on the jetty when the boat came in. Ha 1 she'd been looking for you all the morning with a telescope, I've no doubt she's bold enough for anything. And then how she sneered and giggled when she saw me, and said, 'How fat I'd got:' like her im pudence, I think. What? Well she might? But I know what she wanted. Y'es she'd have liked to have had me searched. She laughed on purpose. "I only wish I'd taken two of the dear girls with me. What things I could have stitched about 'em ! No I'm not ashamed of myself to make my innocent children smugglers: the more innocent they lookeTt, the better; but there you are with what you call your prin ciples again; as if it wasn't given to everybody by nature to smuggle. I'm sure of it it's born with us. And nicely I've cheated 'em this day. Lace, and velvet, and silk stock ings, and other stockings, and other things, to say nothing of the tumblers and decanters. No: I didn't look as if I wanted a direction, for fear somebody should break me. That's another of what you call your jokes; but you should keep 'em for those who like 'em. I don't. " t hat nave l made after all ( I've told you you shall never, never know. Yes, I know you'd been lined a hundred pounds if they'd searched nie; but I never meant that they should. I dare say you wouldn't smuggle oh no! you don't think it worth your while. You're quite a conjurer, you are, Caudle. Ha! hatha! What am J laughing at ? Oh, you little know such a clever creature ! lla ! lia ! Well, now, I'll tell you. I knew what an unaccommodating animal you were, so I made you smuggle whether or not. How ? Why, when you were out at the Cafe, I got your gruat rough coat, and if I didn't stitch ten yards of best black velvet under the lining l ma smlul woman! And to see how inno cent you looked when the officers walked round and round you 1 It was a happy mo ment, Caudle, to see you. "What do yon call it? A shameful trick unworthy of a wife? I couldn't care much fur you ? As it I did n't prove that, by trusting you with ten yards yards of velvet. But 1 don't care what you say: I've saved everything all but that beautilul English novel, that I've forgot the name of. And if they didn't take it out of my hand, and chopped it to bits like so much dog's-meat. Served me right? And when I so seldom buy a book ! No: I don't see how it served me right. If you can buy the same book in France for four shillings that people here have the impudence to ask more th;m a guinea for well, if they do steal it, that's their all'air, not ours. As if there was anything in a book to steal ! "And now, Caudle; when are you going home ? What ? Our time is not vp ? That's nothing to do with it. If we even lose a week's lodging and we mayn't do that we shall save it again in living. But you're such a man ! Your home's the last place with you. I'm sure I don't get a wink of a night, think ing w hat may happen. Three tires last week; and any one might as well have been at our house as not. No they mightn't ? Well, you know what I mean but you're such a man ! "I'm sure, too, we've had quite enough of this place. But there's no keeping you out of the libraries, Caudle. You 're getting such a gambler. And I don't think it's a nice ex ample to set to your children, rallling as you do for French clocks and I don't know what. But that's not the worst; you never win any thing. Oh, I forgot. Yes; a needle-case, that under my nose you gave to Miss Prettyman. A nice thing for a married man to make pre sents: and to such a creature as that, too. A needle-case 1 I wonder whenever she has a needle in her hand ! "I know I shall feel ill with anxiety if I stop here. Nobody left in the house but that Mrs. Closepeg. And she such a stupid woman. It was only last night that I dreamt I saw our cat quite a skeleton, and the canary stiff on its back at the bottom of the cage. You know, Caudle, I'm never happy when I'm away from home; and yet you will stay here. No, home's my comfort; I never want to stir over the threshold, and you k-iiow it. If thieves wore to break in, what could Mrs. Closepeg do against 'em ? And so, Caudle, you'll go home on Saturday? Our dear dear home 1 On Saturday, Caudle?" "What I answered," says Caudle, "I forgot; but I know that on Saturday, we were once again shipped On board the Hcd Hover." Mrt.
