Schooling a Husband.
Mrs. Centre was Jealous. 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.

Anecdote of Wnnlilnrrton.
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."
