"Hans Christoph,. the bailiff -of: of: a small town in Germany, was in possession (besides the respect and consideration due him in right of office.and personal character) of a young wife, whose name was Eva. As of ten as the worthy bailiff called her by that name, he grumbled that it should belong to her, for it never failed to put him in mind of the nefarious doings. of mother Eve, when she circumvented Addm in Paradise ; 'what beftil the first man.' he would say to him self. 'may full to the lot of old flans Chris top!' ; for if the Eve that took the apple had one devil to help her, my Eva may have ten thousand if she choosea. And will slim not choose ? Hans Christoph, it was a foolish thing to marry, so young a wife. "By the 'ten thousand devils' Hans really meant nothing more than the young men,. particularly those of gentle blood, ten Miles round the neighborhood. For the fact could not be denied, that they came from far and near,'on foot and on horseback, to pay their respects to the lovely wife of the bailiff, or admire her as they rode or walked. past the house. Hans Christoph was not long in find ing this out; and the discovery threw him into a transport of rage, and, jealousy. He would no longer permit Eva to go. to the door, nor to leave the house on any pretext; and at last forbade her even looking out at the window. “Eva was a sweet, innocent, amiable creature, and had always entertained a pro found respect. for her, old husband. But when he showed such unreasonable dis trust, and treated her so harshly, her re spect, as a matter of course, was reduced to naught ; while he continued day after day, to torment her by his unfounded sus picions. The rebellious'spirit in her hu- - man natdre 'was roused, until site was at last provoked to deceive him. "What a woman seeks to do, she is not long in finding the means, to accomplish, in spite of all the Argus watching in the world. For many 'days had the nephew of their landlord, in passing the house, thrown in pitying glances, intended, for the pretty vic tim of tyranny, which ooks, by stealth, were readily , understood. SO, one day, when the bailiff 'was none to the tavern to examine a thief who had let himself down the chimney to steal, Master Fritz availed himself also of the same means. to cuter the kitcheh .of Hans Christoph's house: There Eva received him, and disburdened herself of all her troubles. 4Wiim had she to complain to but Fritz ? Fritz listened syMpathizingly, and said he thought he cpuld help her. He knew ore way to cure the old bailiff of his jealousy. That would be • a miracle indeed !`But Fritz hoped for the best, and presently unfolded his schema. Eva laughed heartily at it, and promised her aid to the very best of her power. "In the afterOoon of. the same 'day the bailiff was sitting; hilt. very sullen mood, on the stone bench .before;•his.door. He •was wonderindhow it ,happened that his yohng Wife had. not wept bitterly, as psual, at his reproaches and trying to think who ,had been daring enough to . offer her Consolation.
