followed the most natural thing in the world.
The whole of: scene first was recounted to
her sympathizing, listener, with a codocil
accompaniment, that "she was sure Char

.
•
"It Wily not seem very, hind in me, after
your generous confidence, dear Mrs. Wood,
to tell you that such thoughts ought not to
be told, even to me. Just think what a risk
you ran ! If t htid not been a prudent, el
derly person, who has lived long enough to
see the folly and unkindess of gossip , and
tattling, think what a story I . might have
made of it! •A mutual friend °loam, for ia

happily ; and, between us, I 'guess they
are both 'sick of their bargain. In fact;'M rs.

must lay it down as a first principle of mar
ried life, never to confide even to your dear
est friend any. little disagreement ormisap
preheasion that' may arise between your
self and husband.. Sympathy, in these ca
ses, does more harm than ;Nod ; .and, after
all, it is on your own jud gment - that you
must principally 'rely ; for no one but your
self can understand all the circumstances.
You are not offended I" _
"Oh, rig," said Lucy, already calmed by
this plain statement of an obvious truth, "I
would not have any body think we lived
unhappily for the world ! Why, Charlie
has 'always been devotion itself. He nev
er gave a cross word to me. Only how
does it happen, since•l have told you, Mrs.
Tyson—how does it happen he seems so
indifferent lately, and he can leave me a
whole evening. It was not so before our
marriage."
"I wonder if he has remarked no (lifter
ence in your—"
"In me ! oh, no. Why I would not flirt
for the world." . "' •
"That's not the only sin of married life,
my dear,"
, said Mrs. Tyson smiling a little
at the naive remark. "Perhaps it is set
down as such because society is outraged
by it. But indifference is a worse evil than
open disagreement, because its attacks are
so subtle and intangible. Ido not wonder
you were Marmed;if. you thought you. per
ceived any signs 'of its approach. But about
your conduct. 1 wonder if you take the
same pains to render yourself agreeable as
you once did ?. Flow did you amuse him in
the days of your engagement."
"Why, Charlie came to the house every
evening almost— , and if there was no par
ty, or concert,. or anything, 1 dressed as
neatly as possible, he always liked to see
me_ well dressed,,and he was so particular.
Then 1 sang for him--4 used to sing a great
deal, though, As I've hardly opened my pi
ano since it came from home, I. don't know
that you have ever heard me."
"Did you crotchet that purse in in the ev
enings.',
"Oh no, thit-was a surprise—so I (lid it
in the'day-time ; and besides, we could not
talk much HI did such work.
-Well, and now -you do not make a pret
ty evening toilette."
Lucy glanced .at theopposite mirror and
saw there was some 'truth in the remark,
Not expecting' visitors, She had thrown on
her dressing gown, and tucked her, hair
back, behind her ears, to "be coriffortable"
as she called it, and though not exactly un
tidy, she could but confess she would not
have liked Utterly to have surprised her in
such a cusAinne a few months back—before
they were married.
"Oh, but we are married now, it does'not

THE RED CAP.
"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.
