"He was, indeed,-.happy," saiu Mai:lame de
la Tour, "for the event Awed that this-mar:
tinge, which the world looked- upon as an old
man's folly, I caused to be regarded by the
same world, as the most sensible thing he
cold have done.: He was rich, not only, be
yond even
.his wants, but beyond even his
wishes.. He could never manage to expend
his entire income, and his fortune was there
fore continually. , increasing.: He believei
from the first; -hour of our union, that he
might trust in the atmehment of n wife who
owed everything to his bounty, and never did
he, for one moment, repent his marriage with
a French woman. I reposed on inc part per=
feet confidence in Lord. Melville, as, to any
provision in the disposition ot his fortune, - and
with sincerity and - tenderness watched over t
his declining years. He died, leaving

inwardly avowed to marry no other than-the,

her astonished husbandlle took from around
her neck a- chain of rubies, to which ins
suspended a dimunitive silken purse,—from
the latter she drew outlt five franc piece set
in a little frame ot gold. •

Lady Melville would have been your good

you beyond,the dreams of avarice, but the

Frederick, de la Tour dropped the hand of
his wife he let fall the embroidered rot*,
and with both hands grasping firmly the
piece of silver, he raised it to his lips, withac

said Madame de la Tour, " the result of your,

reward is unbounded."
