"Gold! gold ! gold ! gold !

Molton, graven, hammered and rolled,
Heavy to get and light to hold,
Hoarded, bartered, bought and sold,
Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled: ✓
Spurned by the young, but hugged by the old
To the very verge of the church-yard mould;
Price of many a crime untold;

And now of bloody Mary." .
it I)c fantiln tfirtle.
I Monster Unveiled.
-Poor thing! Ido feel for her. Though
She is a person I never saw, yet hers seems
a case Of such oppression on the one hand,
and such patient suffering on the other, that
one cannot but"—
"oh, I dare say you'll see her in the morn
inn-, for she often steals out then whet] the
wretch, I suppose, is in bed."
"But what could have induced a girl to
tie herself to such a man ?"
••Well. I don't know : the old story, I sup
pose—false appearances; for no girl in her
senses could have married a man with his
habits, if she had known of them beforehand.
There is sometimes a kind of infatuation
about women, I allow, Which seems to blind°
them to the real character of the man they
are in love with ; but in this case I don't
think she could have known how he con
ducted himself, or she certainly would have
paused in time. Oh, the wretch, I have no
patience with him !"
This little dialogue took place in one of
those neat. bright, clean-windowed, gauzy
curtained houses. which form so many pret
ty districts within a walking distance of the
mighty heart of the great metropolis, and IW
iween two ladies, the one the mistress of the
said nice-looking cottage villa, and the oth•
er her guest, a country matron who had just
arrived on a visit Id her town friend; and
the object of the commiseration of both was
the occupant of a larger and handsomer villa
exactly opposite, but apparently the abode
of great wretchedness.
The following morning Mrs. Braybrooke
and her guest, Mrs. Clayton, were at the
window of the parlor, which commanded a
full view of the (livening of the unhappy
Mrs. Williams, when the door quietly open
ed and was as quietly closed again by the
lady herself.
—There she is. poor soul;". cried Mrs.
Biaybroolre ;'..‘only look how carefully and
noiselessly she draws the gate after her.
She seems always afraid that the slightest
noisy she may make, even the street, may
wake the fellow, who is rilv, I • dare say.
sleeping, off the effects of last night's dissi
pation."
Mrs: Clayton. with all the genial warmth
of a truly womanly heart, looked over, and
followed with her eyes as far as the street
allowed, this quiet-looking, broken-spirited
wife, investing the whole figure, front the
neatly-trimmed straw bonnet to the tips of
the bright little boots, with a most intense
and mysterious sympathy ; then fixing her
anxious, interested gaze on the opposite
house, she said : And- how do they live ?
llow do people under such circumstances
pass the day f It is a thing i cannot com
prehend ; for were Clayton to act in such a
way. I am sure I couldn't endure it one
week.
"it does seem scarcely intelligible," an
swered Mrs. Braybrooke; but I'll tell you
bow they ap; eat to do. She gets up and
has her breakfast by herself—for, without
any wish to pry, we can see straight
through their house from front to back.
About this time she often comes out, I sup
pose, to pay a visit or two in the neighhor
hood. or perhaps to call on her tradespeople,
and y o u iil see her by-and-by return, look
ing up: as she , approaches, at the bed-room
window ; and if the blind be drawn up, she
rushes in, thinkitur, I dare say, to herself:
“Flow atm•ry he will be jibe comes down
and finds that I,am not there to give him his
breahfast !" Sometimes lie has his break
fast at twelve—at one—at two; and 1 have
seen him sitting down to it when she was
having her dinner."
"And when does he have his dinner!
r 'w
I-1
w-tim
"Oh, his dinner 1 dare say that is a dif
ferent sort of thing from hers—poor woman !
He dines, I suppose, at a club, or with his
boon companions, or anywhere, in fact, but
at home."
nd when does he come home, then,
generally?" .
"At all hours . We hear him open the
little gate with his key at three, four and five
in the morning. Indked, our milkman told .
Susan that he has seen him stiealchig in,
pale, haggard, and worn out with his horrid
=1
NUMBER 1.
vigils, at the hour decent people are seated
at breakfast."
"I wonder if she waits up for him
"Oh no; for we see the light.of her solita
ry candle in her room always as we are go
ing to bed; and you may be sure my heart
bleeds for her—poor solitary thing ! I don't
know, indeed, that I was ever so interested
about any stranger as I am about this young
creature."
"Dear, dear ! it is terrible !" sighed the
sympathizing Mrs. Clayton. •But does
any one visit them I Have they friends, do
you think r '
"I don't think he can htte many friends,
the heartless fellow; but there are a great
many people calling—stylish people, too—
in carriages ; and there is he, the wretch,
,often with his half-slept look, smiling and
handing the ladies out, as if he were the
most exemplary husband in the world."
"Has she children ? I hope she has, as
they would console her in his long absences.",
"No, even that comfort is denied her; she
has no one to cheer her ; her own thoughts
must be her companions at such times. But.
perhaps it is a blessing; for what kind of
father could such a man make ? Oh, I
should like to know her; and,yet I dread
any acquaintance with her husband Bray
brooke, you know, wouldn't knovi each a
mon."
"My dear Mary. you have made me
quite melancholy ; lets go out. You knot*
have much to see, and many peopfetocall
upon ; and here we are losing the hest part
of the day in something not much removed
from scandal."
The ladies of course set out, Bali all the
"loves of bonnets" in Regent street ; all the
"sacrifices" -that were being voluntarily ofi
fered up in OxfOrd-street; bought tigreat
many things for "less than half the o riginal
cost ; ' made calls ; laughed and chatted
away a pleasant, exciting day for the coun
try lady, who, happily for herself, forgot in
the bustle the drooping, crestfallen bid, whd
was fretting itself away in its pretty cage in
—Road.
The next day=, a lady, a friend of Mrs . :
Clayton, who had been out when she had left
her card the day before, called, and after chat:
ung forsoine time turned toMrs.Bmybroo . ke;
and complimenting her on the situation of the.
house, "I find," she said, "you are a near
neighbor of a 4ar friend of mine, Mrs.
liams."
.
"Mrs. Williams 1 . " exclaitried both her
hearers, pale with e xcitement arid ctirlasity
"Mrs. Williams! Oh how very Sfngular .
that you should know her, poor miserable
creature ! Oh, do tell us about"—
•Pour—miscrabte ? VV.hro can Ton mean? .
You mistake ; my Mrs. Williams to ihe
piest little woman in London !"
"Oh, it cannot be the same,"
. said,Mrs: .
Braybrooke. ..1 mean our opposite neigh
bor in Hawthorn;Villa ; I thought it couldn't
be"—
"LlaWthorn Villa!"—the very houAe..
Yoti surely cannot have seen her, or her
Husband, who"— -
"Oh the dreadful, wretched, gi;triblirts fel
low !" interrupted Mrs. Brtiybrooke,l would
not know such a man"—
"He !" in her ttirn interrupted her friend;
Mrs. Eccleshall. "He a gambler! He is
the most exemplary young man ial:ondori
—a pattern of every domestic virtue—kind;
‘ , entle, amiable, and passionately fond of his
young wife!"
"My dear Mrs. Eccleshall, how can you .
say all this of a man whose conthict is the
common talk of the neighborhood; a man
lost to every sense of shame I shotild sup,
pose ; who comes home to his desolate wife
at all hours ; whose only ostensible means
of living is gambling, or something equally
disreputable ;
