Shewasone of those discontented women who are never satisfied unless something goes wrong. When the sky u bright and pleasant, they are annoyed because, thero Is nothing to grumble at. The trou'blo Is not with the outward world, but with the heart, the mind; and every one who wishes to gruinblo will find a subject. Mrs. Centro was Jealous. Her hus band was a very good sort of person, though ho probably bad bis populari ties. At any rale, ho bad a cousin, whose name was Sophia Smtthers, and who was very pretty, very intelligent, and very amiable and kind-hearted, I dare cay he occasionally made her a so cial call, to which his wlfo solemnly and seriously objected, for tbo reason that Sophia was pretty, intelllgent.aml able and kind-hearted. Tbeso wero the sum total ot her sins. Centre and his wlfo boarded at a private establishment at the South end of Boston. At the samo house also boarded Centre's particular, intlnuute and confidential friend Wallis, with bis wife, Their rooms might almost bo said to be common ground, for the two men and the two women were constant ly together, Wallis could not help observing that Mrs, Centre watched her husband very closely, and Centre at last confessed that there had been some difficulty. So they talked the matter over together; and came to the conclusion that It was very stupid for any one to bo Jealous, most of all for Ma. Centre to be Jeal ous, What they did, I don't know.but, one evening, Centro entered the room and found ifrs. Wallis there. 'My dear, I am obliged to go out a few moments to call upon a friend," said Centro, "To call upon a frlendl" sneered Mrs. Centre. "Yes, my dear, I shall be back pres ently;" and Mr. Centre left the room. "The old story," said ehe, whon he had gone. ai"If It was my husband I would, fol low him," said Mrs. Wallis. . "J. wllll" and she Immediately put on her bonnet and shawl. "Sophia Smith" ers lives very near, and I am sure he is going there." Centre bad gono up stairs to put on his hat and overcoat, and in a moment she saw him on the stairs. She could not mistake him, for there was no oth er gentleman in the house who wore such a peculiarly shaped Kossuth as he wore. Ho passed out.nnd Mrs. Contra pass ed out after him. Sho followed the qucor shaped Kossuth of her husband, aud It led her to C Street, where she had f uspected it would lead her. And' further, It led her to tbo house of Smlthers, the father of Sophia,, where she suspected also it would lead her. Mrs. Centre was very unhappy. Her husband had ceased to love her; ho loved another; he loved Sophia Smith ers. She could have torn the pretty, intelligent, amiable, and kind-hearted cousin of her husband In pieces at that moment; but sbo had the fortitude to curb her belligerent tendencies, and ring the doorbell. She was shown Into tho sitting-room where the beautiful girl ot many vir tues was engaged In sowing. "Is my husband here?" she demand ed, "Mr. Centre? Bless you nol Ho hasn't been hero for a month. Gracious! What a whopperl Was It true that she whose multitudinous qualities bad been so often rehearsed to her could tell a lie? Hadn't she seen the peculiar Kossuth ot her husband euter that door? Hadn't she followed that un unmistakable hat to the houBO. She was amazed at tho coolness of her husband's fair cousin. Before, she had believed that It was only a flirta tion. New, she was sure It was some thing Infinitely worse, and she thought about a divorce, or at least a separa tion. She was astounded,and asked no more questions. Did the guilty pair hope to deceive her her, the argus eyed wlie? She bad some shrewdness, and alio had tho cuunlng to conceal her purpose by refraining from any appearance ot dis trust. After a few words upon com mon place topics, she took her leave. When she reached the side walk,there she planted herself, determined to wait till Centre camo out. For more than an hour sho stood there, nursing the yellow demons of Jealousy. He camo pot. While she, the true, faithful and legal wlfo of Centro, was waitlneontho cold pavement, shivering In tbo cold blast ot autumn, he was folded In tho arms of tho black-hearted Sophia, be tore, a comfortable coal fire, She was.catchlng her death of cold. What did be care the brutel Ho was bestowing his affections upon her who li&d no legal right to them. The wind blew, and it began to rain. Sheeould stand it no longer. She should dlo before she got tho dlvorco, and that was' just what the luhuman Centre would wish her to do. Sho must pre serve her precious life for the present, Audsho reluctantly concluded to go homej Centre bad not come out.arid It required a struggle for her to forgo the exposure of the nefarious scheme. She rushed into the house, into her room. Mrs. Wallis was thero still. Throwing herself upon tho sofa, she wept like a great baby. Her friend tried to comfort her, but sho was firmly resolved not to bh comforted. In vain Mrs, Wallis tried to assure her of tho fi delity of her husband. Sho would not listen to the words. But whllo she was thns weeping, Mr. Centre entered the room, looking Just as though noth ing had happened "You wretch!" sobDed the lady. "What is the matter, my doar?' coolly inquired the gentleman, for he had not passed through tho battle and storm of matrimonial warfare without being able to "stand fire." "You wretchl' repeated the lady, with compound unction. "What has happened?" "You Insult me, abuse me, and then ask me what tbo matter is!" cried tbo lady. "Haven't I been waiting In C Street for two hours, for you to come out ot Smlthers' bouso?" "Have you?" "I have, you wretch?" "And I did not come out?" "No! You know you didn't!" "There was an excellent reason for that, my dear. I wasn't there," said Centre, calmly. "You wasn't there, you wretchl How dare you tell me such an abomin able liel But I have found jou sut. You no there every day, yes, twice, three times a day) I know your amiable cousin, nowl Sho can lie, as well as you." "Sophia tell a lie! Oh no, my dearl" "But she did. She said you were not there." "That was very true; I was nol." "How dare you, tell mo such a liel You have been with Sophia all tho eve ning. She is a nasty baggage!" "Nay, Mrs. Centre; you are mistak en," Interposed Mrs. WaUls. "Mr. Centre has been with me in this room all the ovenlng." "What? Didn't I seo him go out and follow him to C Street?" "No, my doar, I havn't been out this evening. I changed my mind." Just then, Wallis, cntorod tho room with that peculiar Kossuth on his head, and the mystery was explain ed, Mrs. Contre was not a little con fused; and very much ashamed ot her self. Wallis bad been In Smlthers' library smoking a cigar, and bod not seen So phla. Her statement that she had not seen Centre for a month was strictly truo, and Mrs. Centro was forced to ac knowledge that she had been Jealous without a cause, though she was not "lot into" the plot ot Wallis. But Centre should have known better than to tell his wife what a pretty, in telligent, amiable and kind-hearted girl Sophia was. No husband should speak well ot any lady but his wife.

This anecdote of General Washing ton appeared in an English Magazine in 1823: During his administration as Presi dent of tbo United Status, a gentleman, a friend of tho Prcsldont throughout tho whole course of the Revolutionary war, applied for a lucrative and respon sible office. Tho gentlemnn was nt all lmcs welcome to Washington's table. He had been to a certain degree neces sary to the domsstlc repose ot a man who had for seven years fought tho bat tle of his country, and who had now undertaken (lie task ot wielding her political energies. At all tlmos and In all plaees Washington regarded his Re volutionary associate with an oye of evident partiality and confidence. Ho was a Jovial, pleasant and unob trnstlve companion. In applying for the office it was in the full confidence of success, and bis friends already cheered him in the prospeotsf his ar rival at competency and case. The.opponent ot this gentleman was known to be decidedly hostile to tbe politics ot Washington. He bad even niado himself conspicuous among the.' ranks of the opposition. He bad, 'ho w evor, tho tomerlty to stand as a candi date for the office .to which the friend and favorite of Washington aspired. He bai nothing to urge In favor ot his pretentions but strong Integrlty.promp--tltude and fidelity In bulsness,- and ev ery quality which, If called Into cxer't else, would render service .to tbe. State. Every one considered the appoint menlot this man hopoless. No flat tering testimonial ot merit bad ho to present to the eye of Washington He was known to be his political onemy. ne was opposed by a favorite of the General; and yet with such fearful odds he dared to stand as a candidate. What was tbe result? The enemy ot Wa3hlngi ton was appointed' to tbe office, and his table companion left dostlt'ute and re jected. A mutual friend, wbo Interested him self in the affair, ventured to remons trate with tbe President for the Injus tice of , his appointment. "My frlond," said he, "I receive with a cordial wel come. He la welcome to my house and welcome to my heart. But, with all his good qualities, he Is not a man of business. His opponent Is, with' all his political hostility to me, a man of busi ness. My private feelings have noth ing to do in this case. I am not Geo'. Washington, but President of the Uni ted States. As George Washington, I wonld do this man any kindness In my power; but as the President of the Unl tod States, I, can do nothing." In a caso In a Detroit court last week, a back-driver's testimony was lmpcachr ed. As Washington said of Arnold's treason; 'Whom shall wo trust now?'

An Indianapolis paper says ot an In. dlana Senator!
