MRS. CAUDLE'S CURTAIN LECTURES. Continued from our laitlmu. THE THIRTY '.FOURTH LECTURE. MRS. CAl'M.E, BUBPECTISO THAT MR. CAUDLE IIA3 WADK HIS WILL, IS "ONLY ANXIOUS AS A WIFK" TO KNOW ITS ritovisioss. "I always said you'd a strong mind whon you liked, Caudle; and what you've just been doing proves it. Home people won't make a will, because they think they must die directly afterwards. Now, you're above that, love, ar'n't you f Nonsense; you know very well what I mean. 1 know your will's made, for Scrateherly told me so. What 1 You don't believe it t 'Well, I'm sure I That's a pretty thing for a man to say to his wife. I know he's too much a man of business to talk; but I suppose there's a way of telling things with out speaking them. And when I put the question to him, lawyer as he is, ho hadn't the face to deny it. "To be sure, it can be of no consequence to Die whether your will is made or not. I shall not be alive, Mr. Caudle, to want anything: I 6hall be provided for a long time bel'oro your will's of any use. No, Mr. Caudle ; I sha'n't survive you ; and though a woman's wrong to let her affection for a man be known, for then she's always taken advantage of though I know it's foolish and weak to say so, still I don't want to survive you. How should I ? No, no ; don't say that: I'm not good for a hundred I sha'n't see you out, and another husband too. What a gross idea, Caudle! To imagine I'd ever think of marrying again. No never 1 What? That's what we 'ill Kay 1 Not at all: quite the reverse. To mo tho very idea of such a thing is horrible, and always was. Yes, I know very well that some do marry again, but what they're made of, I'm sure I can't tell. Ugh 1 "There are men, I know, who leave their property in such a way that their widows, to told it, must keep widows. Now if there is anything in the world that is mean and small, it is that. Don't you think so, too, Caudle ? Why don't you speak, love ? That's so like you ! I never want a little quiet, rational talk, hut you want to go to sleep. Uut you never were like any other man ! What ? How do I know 1 Thero now that's so like your aggravating way. I never open my lips upon a subject but you try to put me off. I've lio doubt when Miss Prettyman speaks, you can answer her properly enough. There you are again 1 Upon my life, it is odd; but I never can in the most innocent way mention that person's name that Why can't I leave her alone, i I'm sure ! with all my heart 1 Who wants to talk about her ? I dou't; only you always will say something that's certain to bring up her name. "What was I saying, Caudle ? Oh, about the way some men bind their widows. To my mind, there is nothing so little. When a man forbids his wife to marry again without losing what ho leaves it's what I call selfishness after death. Mean to a degree 1 It's like taking his wife into tho grave with him. Eh? You never want to do that ? No, I'm sure of that, love; you're not the man to tie a woman up m that manner. A man who'd do that, would have his widow burnt with him, if he could just as those monsters, that call them selves men, do in the Indies. "However, it's no matter to me, you've made your will; but it may be to your second wife. What ? 1 shall never yive you a chance f Ha I you don't know my constitution after all, Caudle t I'm not at all the woman I was. I say nothing about 'em, but very often you don't know my feelings. And as we're on the subject, dearest, I have only one favor to ask. When you marry again uow it's no use your saying that. Alter the comforts you've known of marriage what are you sighing at, dear ? after the comforts, you must marry again. Now don't forswear yourself in that violent way, taking au oath that you know you must hreak you couldn't help it, I'm sure of it; and I know you better than you know yourself. Well, all I ask is, love, because it's only for your sake, and it would make no difference to me then how should it f but all I ask is, don't marry Miss l'ret -There ! there! I've done; I won t say another word about it; but all I ask is, don't After the way you've been thought of, and alter the comforts you've been used to," Caudle, she won't be the wife for you. Of course, I could then have no interest in the matter you might marry the Queen of Eng land, for what it would bo to me then I'm only anxious about you. Mind, Caudle, I'm not saying anything against her; not at all; hut there's a ilightiness in her manner I dare say, poor thing, she means no harm, and it may be, as the saying is, only her manner after all still, there in a ilightiness about her that, after what you've been used to, would make you very wretched. Now, if I may boast of anything, Candle, it is my propriety of manner the whole of my life. I know that wives who're very particular ar'n't thought as 'well of as those who're not still, it's next to nothing to he virtuous, if people don't seem bo. And virtue, Caudle no, I'm not going to preach about virtue, for I never do. No; and I dou't go about with my virtue, like a child with a drum, making all sorts of noises with it. I5ut I know your principles. I shall never forget what I once heard you say to Frettyman: and it's no excuse that you'd taken so much wine you didn't know what you were saying at the time; for wine brings out men's wickedness, just as fire brings out spots of grease. What did you sayf Why you said this: 'Virtue's a beautiful thing in women, when they don't make so much noiso about it; but there's some women who think virtue was given 'em, as claws were given to cats' yes, cats was the word 'to do nothing hut scratch with.' That's what you said. You don't recollect a syllahle of it? No, that's it; when you're in that dreadful state you re collect nothing; but it's a good thing I do. "Hut we won't talk of that, love that's all over. I dare say you meant nothing. Hut I'm glad you agree with me that tho man who'd tie up his widow, not to marry again, is a mean man. It makes me happy that you've that confldenoe in mo to say that. You never said itt That's nothing to do with it you've just as good as said it. No: when a man leaves all his iroperty to his wife, without binding her hands from marrying again, he shows what a dependence he has upon her love. He proves to all the world what a wife she's been to him; and how after his death he knows she'll grieve for him. And then, of course, a second marriage never enters' her head. But when she only keeps his money so long as she keeps a widow, why, she's aggravated to take another husband. I'm sure of it; many a poor woman has been driven into wedlock again only because she was spited into it by her husband's will. It's only natural to suppose it. If I thought, Caudle, you could do bucU a thing, though it would break my heart to do it yet, though you were dead and gone, I'd show you I'd a spirit, and marry again directly. Not but what it's ridiculous my talking in such a way, as I shall ' go long before you; still, mark my words, and don't provoke me with any will of that sort, or I'd do it as I'm a living woman in this bed to-night, I'd doit." THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, "I diil not contradict her," says Caudlo, "but suffered her to slumber in such assu rance. THE THIRTY-FIFTH LECTURE. MRS. CAlTiLK "HAS I1REN TOLD" THAT CAUDLE HAS "TAKEN TO PLAY" AT BILLIARDS. "You're very late to-night, doar. It's not late, Well then it isn't, that's all. Of course, a woman can never tell when it's late. You were late on Tuesday, too: a little late on the Friday before; on the Wednesday before that uow, you needn't twist about in that manner; I'm not going to say anything no; for I see it's now no use. Once, I own, it used to fret me when you stayed out; but that's all over; you've now brought mo to that state, Caudle and it's your own fault, entirely that I don't care whether you ever come home or not. I never thought I could be brought to think so little of you; but you've dono it; you've been treading on the worm for these twenty years, and it's turned at last. "Now, I'm not going to quarrel; that's all over; I don't feel enough for you to quarrel with I don't, Caudle, as true as I'm in this bed. All 1 want of you is any other man would speak to his wife, and not lie there like a log all I want is this. Just toll me where you were on Tuesday f You were not at dear mother's, though you know she's not w'ell, and you know she thinks of leaving the dear children her money ; but you never had any feeling for anybody belonging to me. And you were not at tho Club: no, I know that. And you were not at any theatre, llmv do I Inowt Ha, Mr. Caudle! I only wish I didn't know. No, you were not at any of these places, but "know well enough where you were. Then why do 1 ask if' 1 know t That's it; just to prove what a hypocrite you are ; just to show you that you cau't deceive me. "So, Mr. Caudle, you've turned billiard player, sir. Only oncil Tliat's quite enough : you might as well play a thousand times; for you're a lost man, Caudlo. Only once, indeed! I wonder, if I was to say 'Only once,' what would you say to me ? But, of course, a mau can do no wrong iu anything. "And you're a lord of the creation, Mr. Caudle; and you can stay away from the com forts of your blessed fireside, and the society of your own wife and children though, to be sine, you never thought anything of them to push ivory balls about with a long stick upon a green table-cloth. What pleasure any man can take in such stuff must astonish any sensible woman. I pity you, Caudlo ! "And you can go and do nothing but make 'cannons' for that's the gibberish they talk at billiards when there's the manly and athletic game of cribbage, as my grandmother used to call it, at your own hearth. You can go into a billiard-room you, a respectable tradesman, or as you set yourself up for one, for, if the world knew all, there's very little respectability in you you can go and play billiards with a set of creatures in moustachios, when you might take a nice, quiet hand with me at home. But no I anything but cribbage with your own wife. "Caudle, it's all over now ; you've gone to destruction. I never knew a man enter a billiard-room that ho wasn't lost forever. There was my uncle Wardle ; a better man never broke the bread of life ; ha took to bil liards, and he did not live with aunt a month afterwards. A lucky fellow f And that's what you call a man who leaves his wife 'a lucky fellow ?' But, to be sure, what can I expect ? We shall not be together lonjjr, now : it's been some time coming, but, at last, we must sepa rate ; mid the wife I've been to you 1 "Uut I know who it is; it's that fiend, Prettyman. I will call him a iiond, and I'm by no means a foolish woman : you'd no more have thought of billiards than a goose if it i hadn't been for him. Now it's no use, Caudle, your telling me that you've only been once, and that you can't hit a ball anyhow you'll soon get over all that ; and then you'll never be at home. You'll be a marked man, Cau dle ; yes, marked. There'll be something about you that '11 be dreadful ; for if I couldn't tell a billiard-player by his looks I've no eyes, that's all. They all of 'em look as yellow as parchment, and wear mustachios. 1 suppose you'll let yours grow now ; though they'll be a good deal troubled to come, 1 know that. Yes, they've all a yellow and sly look, just for all as if they were first-cousins to people that picked pockets. And that will be your case, Caudle : in six montlts the dear children won't know their own father. "Well, if I know myself at all, I could have borne anything but billiards. The companions you'll find I The Captains that will be always borrowing fifty pounds of you ! I tell you, Caudle, a billiard-room's a place where ruin of all sorts is made easy, I may say, to the lowest understanding so you can't miss it. It's a chapel of ease lor the devil to preach in don't tell mo not to be eloquent: I don't know what you mean, Mr. Caudle, and I shall be just as eloquent as I like. Uut I never can open my lips and it isn't often, goodness knows ! that I'm not insulted. "No, I won't bo quiet on this matter; I won't, Caudle: on any other, I wouldn't say a word and you know it if you didn't like it; but on this matter, I will speak. I know you can't play at billiards; anil never could learn I dare say not; but that makes it all the worse, for look at the money you'll lose; see the ruin you'll be brought to. It's no use your telling me you'll not play now you can't help it. And nicely you'll bo eaten up. IK ii t talk to me; dear aunt told nie all about it. The lots of fellows that go every day into billiard-rooms to get their dinners, just as a fox sneaks into a farm-yard to look about him for a fat goose and they'll eat you up, Cau dle; 1 know they will. "Uilliard-balls, indeed ! Well, in my time, I've been over Woolwich Arsenal you were something like a man then, for it was just before we were married and then, I saw all sorts of balls; mountains of 'em, to bo shot away at churches, and into people's peaceable habitations, breaking the china, and nobody knows what I say, I've seen all these balls well, I know I've said that before; but I choose to say it again and there's not one of 'em, iron as they are, that could do half the mis chief of a billiard-ball. That's a ball, Caudle, that's gone through many a wife's heart, to cnir iwal.inn ' 1 11 l a . . ' J"'i"in(, i iter ruiiureu. And that s a ball that night and day you'll be destroying your family with. Don't tell me you'll not play ! When once a man's given to it as my poor aunt used to say tho devil's always tempting him with a ball, as he tempted Eve with an apple. "I shall never think of being happy any iuuicj. iiu, mm a ijuuo uut ui UIO llUOSUOIl. Y'ou'll be there every night I know vou will better than you, so don't deny it every night over that wicked green cloth. Green, indeed 1 It's red, crimson red, Caudle, if you could only properly see it crimson red, with the hearts those balls have broken. Dou't tell me not to be pathetic I shall: as pathetic as it suits me. 1 suppose I may speak. How ever, I've done. It's all settled now. You're a billiard-player, and I'm a wretched woman." "I did not deny either position," writes Caudle, "and for this reason I wanted to sleep." TO BE CONCLUDED TO-MORROW. AUCTION SALES.
