"You'd never have got rue into this wilder ness of a place, Mr. Caudle, if I'd only have thought what it was. Yes, that's right: throw it In my teeth that it was my choice that's manly, isn't it? When I saw the placo the sun was Out, and it looked heautiful now, it's quite another thing. No, Mr. Caudle; I don't expect you to command the sun, and if you talk about Joshua in that infidel way, I'll leave the hod. No, sir; I don't expect the sun to he in your power, but that's nothing to do with it. I talk about one thing, and you always fitart another. But that's your art. "I'm sure a woman might as well be buried ftlive as live here. In fact, I am buried alive; I feel it. I stood at the window three hours this blessed day, and saw nothing but the postman. No: it isn't a pity that I hadn't Bomethirg better to do; I had plenty; but that's my business, Mr. Caudle. I suppose I'm to 1 mistress of my own house f If not, I'd better leave it. "And the very first night we were here, you know it, the black beetles came into the kitchen. If tho place didn't seem spread all over with a black cloth, I'm a story-teller. "What are you coughing at, Mr. Caudle ? I 8ee notkng to cough at. But that's just your way of sneesiug. Millions ot black beetles I And as the clock strikes eight, out they march. What? They're very punctual t I know tlat. 1 only wish other people were Lalf as punctual: 'twould save other people's money and other people's peace of mind. You know I hate a black beetle 1 No; I don't Iiate so many thincs. Hut I do hate black V beetles, as I hate ill trt'atment. Mr. Dandle. And now I have enough of both, goodness knows. "Lat night they came into the parlor. Of oourse, iu a night or two, they'll walk up into the bed-room. They'll he here regiments of 'em on tho quilt. But what do you care? Nothing of the sort ever touches you; but you know how they come to me; and that's why you are so quiet. A pleasaut thing to have lilac's beetles in one's bed ! H7iy don't I poi son 'cm 1 A pretty matter, indeed, to have poison in the house ! Much you must think of tl.e dear children. A nice place, too, to be callol the Turtle-Dovery t Didn't I christen it myself? I know that but then I knew nothing ot the black beetles. Besides, names of houses are for tho world outside; not that any bodv parses to see ours. Didn't Mrs. Digby insist on calling their new house, "Love-in-Idluiiess," though everybody knew that that wretch IMgby was always beating hor ? Still, when folks read "Rose Cottage" on tho wall, they seldom think of the lots of thorns ' that are inside. In this world, Mr. Caudle, names are sometimes quite as good as things. ' "That cough again ! You've got a cold, and ' you' Jl always be getting one for you'll always be missing the omnibus as you did on Tues day and always be getting wet. No consti tution can stand it, Caudle. You don't know what I felt when I heard it rain on Tuesday, and thought you might be in it. What ? I'm very good? Yes, I trust so; I try to be so, Caudle. And so, dear, I've been thinking that We'd better keep a chaise. 1 'on can't afford it, and you won't? Don't tell me; I know you'd save money by it. I've been reckoning what you lay out on omnibuses; and if you'd a chaise of your own besides the gentility of the thing you'd be money in pocket. And then, again, how often I could go with you to town and how, again, I could call for you when you liked to be a little late at tho club, dear I Now, you're obliged to be hurried away I know it when, if you'd only a car riage of your own, you could stay and enjoy yourself. And after your walk you want en joyment. Of course, I can't expect you always to run home directly to me; and I don't, Caudle; and you know it. "A nice, neat, elegant little chaise. What ? You'll think of it? There's a love ! You are a good creature, Caudle; and 'twill make me no happy to think you don't depend upon an omnibus. A sweet little carriage, with our H arms beautifully painted on the panels. What ? 1 Arms arc rubbish; and yon don't know that you hare any ? Nonsense: to be sure you have and if not, of course they're to be had for money. I wonder where Chalkpit's, the milk man's, arms came from I I suppose you can buy 'em at the tame place. He used to drive a green cart; and now he's got a close yellow carriage, with two largo tortoise-shell cats, with their whiskers a t if dipt in cream, stand ing on their hind leg:; upon each door, witli a heap of Latin underneath. You may buy the carriage, if you please, Mr. Caudle; but unless your arms are there, you won't get me to BUter it. Never; i m not going 10 iook less han Mrs. Chalkpit. "Besides, if you haven t arms, I'm sure my family have, and a wife's arms are quite as good as a husband's. I'll write to-morrow to dear mother, to know what we took for our family arms. What do you say ? What ? A mangle in a stom-kili hen proper ? Mr. Caudle, you're always insulting my family always: but you shall not put me out of temper to night. Still, if you don't like our arms, fmd your own. I dare say you could have found 'em fast enough, if you'd married Miss l'rotty inan. Well, I will be quiet: and I won't men tion that lady's name. A nice lady she is ! I wonder how much she spends in paint ? Now, don't I tell you I won't say a word more, and yet you will kick about ! "Well, we'll have the carriage and tho family arms ? No, I don't waut the family Wa f,n. Don't be vulear, Mr. Caudle. You might, perhaps, talk in that way before you'd money in the bank; but it doesn't at all become you now. The carriage and the family arms ! We've a country-house as well as the Chalk pits; and though they praise their place for a little Paradise, I dare say they've quite as many black beetles as we have, and more too. The place quite looks it. "Our carriage and our arms! And you know, love, it won t cost inucu ubsi iu nothius-to put a gold band i about nam s lint o Knndav.

I seemed inclined to sleep. Not for ono moment I INSURANCE COMPANIES. I INSURANC the tihr Mits. CAum.E c:o:wrr,AiNs very bitterly that mr. CAUDLE HAS "DllOKEN HKU CO.VPIDENCE." "You'll catch me, Mr. Caudle, telling you anything again. Now, I don't want to have any noise; I don't wish you to put yourself in a passion. All I say is this: never again do I open my lips to you about anybody. No; if man and wife can't be ono, why there's an end of everything. Oh, you know very well what I mean, Mr. Caudle; you've brokon my confidence in the most shameful and most heartless way, and I repeat it I can never be again to you as I have been. No: the little charm it wasn't much that remained about married life is gone forever. Yes; the bloom's quite wiped oil the plum now. "Don't be such a hypocrite, Caudle ; don't ask me what I moan ! Mrs. Badgerly has been here more like a fiend, I'm sure, than a quiet woman. I haven't dono trembling yet! You know the state of my nervos, too ; you know yes, sir, I had nerves when you mar ried me ; and I have n't just found 'em out. Well, you've something to answer (or, I think. The Badgerlys are going to separate ; she takes the girls, and he the boys, and all through you. How you can lay your head upon that pillow and think of going to sleep, I can't tell. What have, you done? Well, you have a face to ask the question! Done? You've broken my confidence, Mr. Caudle : you've taken advantage of my tenderness, my trust in you as a wife the more fool I for my pains 1 and you've separated a happy couple forever. No; I'm not talking in the clouds; I'm talking in your bed, tho more my misfor tune. "Now, Caudle yes, I shall sit up in the bed if I choose ; I'm not going to sleep till I have this properly explained; for Mrs. Badgerly sha'n't lay her separation at my door. You won't deny that you were at the club last night ? No, bad as you are, Caudle, and though you're my husband, I cau't think you're a good man; I try to do, but I can't bad as you are, you can't deny you were at the club. What? You don't deny it? That's what I say you can't. And now, an swer me this question. What did you say before the whole world of Mr. Badgerly's wliiskors ? There's nothing to laugh it, Caudle; if you'd have seen that poor woman, to-day, you'd have a heart of 'stone to laugh. What did you say of his whiskers ? Didn't you tell everybody ho dyed 'em ? Didn't you hold the candle up to 'em, as you said, to show tho purple ? To be sure you did ? Ha ! people who break jokes never care about breaking hearts. Badgerly went home like a demon; called his wife a false woman ; vowed he'd never enter a bed again with her, and to show that he was in earnest, slept all night upon the sofa. He said it was tho dearest secret of his life; said she had told me; and that I had told you; and that's how it had come out. What do you say ? Balg-rly was right ? I did tell you ? I know I did : but when dear Mrs. Badgerly mentioned the mat ter to me and a few friends, as we wore all laughing at tea together, quite iu a confiden tial way she just spoke of her husband's whiskers, and how long he was over them every morning of course, poor soul ! she never thought it was to be talked of iu the world again. Kh ? Thi n 1 had no right to tell you of it ? And that's the way I'm thanked for my confidence. Because I don't keep a secret from you, but show you, I may say, my naked soul, Caudle, that's how I'm rewarded. Poor Mrs. Badgerly for all her hard words after she went away, I'm quite sure my heart bled for her. What do say, Mr. Caudle ? Serves her right she should hold fur tongue ? Yes; that's like your tyranny you'd never let a poor woman speak. Eh, what, what, Mr. Caudle ? "That's a verv line speech, I dare say; and wives are very much obligod to you, only there's not a bit of truth in it. No, we women don't get together, and pick our husbands to pieces, jast as sometimes mischievous little girh rip up their dolls. That's an old sentiment of yours, Mr. Caudle: but I'm sure you've no occasion to say it of me. I hear a good deal of other people's husbands, cer tainly; I can't shut my ears; I wish I could: but I never say anything about you and I might, and you know it and tjiere's some body else that knows it, too. No: I sit still and say nothing; what I have in my own bosom about you, Caudle, will be buried with me. But I know what yon think of wives. I heard you taking to Mr. I'rettyiuan, when you little thought I was listening, and you didn't know much what you were saying I heard you. 'My dear Pretty man,' says you, 'when some women get talking, tliey club all their husbands' faults together, just as children club their cakes and apples, to make a common feast for tho whole set.' Kh You don't riim mber it ? But I do: and I re member too what brandy was left when Pret tyman wont. 'Twould be odd if you could remember much about it after that. "And now you've gone and separated man and wife, and I'm to bo blamed for it. You've proved to me that henceforth I'm not to trust you with anything, Mr.('audlo. No: I'll look up whatever I know in. my own breast for now I find nobody, not even one's own hus band, is to be relied upon. From this moment, 1 may look upon myself as a solitary woman. Now, it's no use your trying to go to sleep. What do you say? You know that? Very wed. Now, I want to ask you one question me re. Kh ? You want to ak me one? Very well goon I'm not afraid to bo catechised. I never dropt a syllable that as a wife I ought to have kept to myself no, I'm not at all for getting what I've said and whatever you've got to ask mo speak out at once. No 1 don't want you to spare me; all I want you to do is to speak. You will speak ! Well then, do. " hat ? If ho told p apt c uou'il a false front tooth? And is that all t Well, I'm sure as if the world couldn't see it. 1 kimw I did just mention it once, but then I thought everybody knew it besides, I was aggravated to do.it; yes, aggravated. 1 remember it was that very day, at Mrs. liadgerly's, when husbands' whiskers came up. Well, after we'd dono with them, somebody said something about teeth. Whereupon Miss i'rettyman a minx! she was born to destroy the peace of families I know she was: she was there; and if I'd only known that such a creature was no, I'm not rambling, not at all, and I'm coming to the tooth, io be sure, tins is a great deal you've got against mo isn't it ? Well, somebody spoke about teeth, when Miss I'ret tyman, with one of her insulting leers, said, 'she thought Mr. Caudle had the whitest teeth she ever had beheld.' Of course, my blood was up every wife's would be: and I believe I might have said, 'Yes, they were well enough; but when a young lady so very much praised a married man's teeth, she perhaps didn't know that one of the front ones was an ele phant's. Like her impudence 1 I set her down for the rest of the evening. But I can. see the humor you're in to-night. You only came to bed to quarrel, and I'm not going to indulge you. All I say is this, after the shameful mischief you've made at the Bad gerly's, you never break my commence again Nver and now vou know it." Caudle hereupou writes "And here she did I think to prevent her." Jlfr. Owrfe' Curtain Letium will be continued daily, in The livening Tclearuith, until corn Med. INSURANCE COMPANIES.
