MY DEAR MASSYLELD:-111111 the happiest man alive. I um, in fact,so brim-full of hap piness I shall have to reverse the natural or der of things, and begin my letter at the end of my story, instead of the beginning of it That is, I must give vent to myjoy by giving you the sequel of the story before I give you the story itself_ The Grecian bend has entirely disappeared from Mary; and has not left a trace behind. She looks, us beautifully and moves as grace fully as ihe did before the attack; and we are to be married at Christmas, after all. And you. my dear fellow, shall be invited. to the wedding, not, I assure you, on account of calling the "decidedly green" in your letter, and telling me I should always be making a fool of myself if I didn't keep myself better posted as .to ladies' fashions; but the pre scriptiOn you gave me, in the same letter, worked so like a charm in removing my trou blio, on that score,you are forgiven for laugh ing at my verdancy. and shalt be permitted to come to our weilding,and to bring as many and as valuable , bridal presents as you please, besides. - I suppose you would like to know how I ' wrought so complete a cure in so short a time. ' Well, I am ready, now, to begin at the beginning and tell you the whole story. Your reply to my letter came to me on the first tram Friday morning . ; note minute too soon, for the very next train brought Mr. Meserve and his family. I sent a boy immediately up with a note to Mary, telling her I was aware of her arrival, and that I would drive up that evening if I were able. The remainder of the afternoon I sPent.inirkl i n4 DrP. am rue Interview. r.. rea y Au a uurc i o t iu, which, for the first time in my life, I did not consider unfortunate , as I was assisted by it to carry out my plans. As ackm - as' it was dark I took a large shawl, which I throw on over my outside coat whet taking long drives in the Winter, and wrapped it closely around me. Thus muffled, in October, I got into my carriage and drove up to Mr.Meserve's. Mary : met me at the door. The shawl, which was 'drawn up almost to my cars, the hoarseness in my voice and a slightly stooping posture, together with a very sober expression of countenance, gave me the appearance of be ing quite ill. She was, evidently, a little startled, and remarked that sire supposed I was not quite as well as usual from my note, but she was not prepared to see me looking quite so unwell as I (lid. As it was not a direct question, I made no reply to herre mark, but left her to draw her own inference from my silence and slow motions as I hung my hat on the rack, and, still retaining my shawl, followed her into the parlor. " Are you feeling so very chilly as to be obliged to sit in your shawl?" she anxiously inquired, and added, "1 ani,alrald it was pre sumptuous for you to come out to-night.' "I am a little , chilly, but I shall get over it presently, and lay aside my shawl. My cold is nothing serious," I replied in a slightly de pressed tone. "Then what is the matter, dear ?" she ten derly asked. "Tell me, won't you, John? Perhaps I can comfort you." I dui not speak, but gweely shook my head, as much as to say, 1I have my doubts about IL" She looked perplexed. - She came to me and laid her hand gently on my shout der, and said— " Why didn't you let' me know, John, that you were in trouble? , I would have hastened home immediately. I should, have sought comfort from you at once, if anything was troubling me. Do While, John, and relieve me of this dreadful suspense. Is it physical or mental trouble?" She said this so tenderly; and with such genuine sympathy in her tone and manner, I felt almost condemned for alarming her so much. I took her hand iu mine and was about to soothe her; but as I looked at her, all the regret I was beginning to feel for taking such a course With her, died out. She was dressed precisely as when I saw her at Newport. Her figure strongly reminded me of Aunt Sukey's looks in cold, rainy days, when the rheumatic pains in her back were a little worse than common. I had no more misgivings as to the propriety of doing ah I did. felt that a work must be done, and might as well be done then as ever. What the result would, be, I could not foresee. If I was outwardly calm, I .believe that I in wardly felt quite as agitated as she did. Af ter all this had passed . through my mind, which, of course, did not take a quarter of the time it has to write it, I replied, gravely, to her last question— " Both, Mary both physical and mental." Illy manner was so cold and restrained, so different, probably, from theineeting she had anticipated, she seemed exceedingly hurt by it. She said— . " Why, John, you iHghten•and grieve me. Is it so serious you dare not tell me, or don't, you wish for any sympathy?" This she said rapidly, in an agitated,grieved tone, and then burst Into tears. I never saw her weep before, and it was an.impossibility for me to maintain the same-cold manner to ward her. I had not given her one- caress or endearing epithet on meeting her, after a separation of more than six weeks; but now I raised her hand to my lips, and said— a•, Yes, darling, I •do want your sympathy, and the fear that I shouldn't get it hue added fully one-half to my . trouble. • I'am afraid it will 'not seem so serious a thing to you as it does to me, and that you will make light of it. I have suffered a good deal in my mind, of late. and by reason of it I have gotsome. thing upon me which is exceedingly disa greeable to me; butt am afraid, you will be more displeased with' me than sorry for me, when I tell you what it is." " 0, John, John," She exclairited, passion. ntely, " what are you talking about? What makes you go around the thing so? Are von trying to torture me? I hardly know you, you are so entirely different from what ! ever saw you before. If you have a particle of love left for me, tell me, this minute, what is the matter." • I arose from my-chair and unwound my shawl with one hand—l was still holding her's in the other—end then as I slowly laid the !law' aside, I said, in a low tone, delib erately and distinctly, as she breathlessly watched my lips— I have got the Grecian bend, Mary." As the words came out and she glanced at• my figure, which showed as hushionable Grecian bend as the most stylish ladies wear, imagine, if you can, the change in the ex: pression of her countenance, from the stul den revulsion of her feelings. I shall be obliged to leave that part entirely to your imagination, for my pen is not sufficiently graphic 'to delineate the variety of feelings that were portmyedin hercountenance. Sur prise. indignation, pier, and a keen sense of the ludicrous, were all them but' indigos•• 'lion '.was the most strongly depicted. She withdrew her hand from mine, as hastily as she• would have taken it out of the the. have no doubt, Martatieldiyou 830commlaw with laughter as you read this letter, and think what_ a• comic tableau we must have made, just then. -Pm-comic it certainly Must lutve been-74he. standing , =dente n, transfixed by my andatity ; I. standing so as to give her the MI benefit of My Grecian bend. That must be thoroughlytlone—done once for all, fa never should-I be caught again on punt► a betaler. • Bu , , grotesdue as I know I must have looked:lndlerons as It all would Latieseemed to yon, I did not, one tantuent, teal' like laughing. There was quite tdo much el stake, in the game I was, playiag, to permit even a smile to pass over my features. I know you used to say, when I was a boy, that I was in corrigibly mirthful and playful, finding fun and amusement in everything, turning the whole of - life Into comedy. But you knew that was not altogether true when you said It. That underneath that uppererust of fun and froliC were hidden some sober and com mon-sense, views of life, which sometimes came to te surface and revealed thetnselves. The sober side came tiithe top, that night, 'and smothered all lighter feelings, for vital I consequences seemed,to me, to be connected with that evening's performance. I tell you, Mansfield, I never felt more serious-in a prayer-meeting. ' Mary was the only girl I had ever loved as I felt I ought to love the woman I sought in marriage. I trusted she loved sue as truly and devotedly as I did her. What was in store for us in the future? Would she ever forgive me for thus caricaturing her sex? Would she be led to see how ridiculous, if not positively sinful, it was thus to disfigure the beautiful form Clod had given her? Or would she waist in being a fashionable woman at the expense of health, and all true and refined ideas of beauty, for no other rea son than because it was fashionable? Should we, from that night, come nearer to each other, understand each other better, have more exalted views of life, and mutually as sist each other in attaining to a more correct knowledge of the really beautiful, good and true? Or would, henceforth, our lives run in diverging lines? These questions passed rapidly through my inind,in the few instants that she stood silent and motionleass. As soon as her surprise permitted her to speak, she indignantly exclaimed— "o, John I wouldn't have believed it pos sible for you to play such a cruel joke upon me. Nothing could have convinced me that you would do such a thing. How could you stoop so low ?" Ireplied with all the nonchalance I Could— " It is unnatural and unpleasant, my dear, but every one stoops that has the Grecian bend. One can bear all the little annoy ances attending it, however, when so much is to be gained by it. My figure is very much improved, isn't. found it rather difficult to adjust all the apparatus needed, in man's apparel, but, as practice makes per fect; afteea little more experience, and with your advice as to what changes to make, I think I shall be able to get it up artistically. I haven't, as yet, seen one man in this city with a Grecian bend. .We shall soon, I think, it gives so much grace and dignity to one's appearance. I want to get a little more ac customed to mine before I come out pub licly in it. I think I shall be the first man in the place to—" She interrupted me, exclaiming vehemently: " For mercy's sake, stop. John !' Are you crazy, or what is the matter? Do you in tend to disgrace yourself and your friends by going into the street in that way? Is this the pleasant meeting I have been anticipa 'ling? After failing to come to Newport—to welcome me home in this manner! It is too insulting—too cruel—l never can—" " Hush, dear !" "I said, hastily breaking her off before she could complete her sentence, "don't say quite yet that you can never for give me. It, after you hear all I have to say to you, you feel that you cannot forgive me, then I must hearit and bear it the best I can; but I trust our happiness is not to be thus wrecked." "0, Jul u; 110%f could SOU heat aIC 30t" she sobbed, more in grief than anger, then bowed her head on the arm of the sort and wept convulsively. I kept silent till her sobs died out; then I ventured to take a seat on the sofa beside her. noncluded I had shown the improve ment in my figure all that was necessary. I said— " Will you hear what I say now, Maly?" She made no reply. I persisted; "You asked if I intended to disgrace myself in this way. Whit did yon mean, Mary?' She maintained hersilence. I continued— " If we were not made up right, to com mence with, is it any more disgraceful for a Irian to improve his figure than for a woman to do it? If we had been born with a Gre cian bend in our hacks, it would save us some expense and a vast amount of time to devote to the important subjects that are pressing upon US; but we were not: and I want you to tell me where the disgrace comes in, or how we should show any indig nity to women by Irving to improve our figures, especially as they are trying to do the same thing. The greatest scruple that arises in my mind is, that with my peculiar view of things, it does sometimes strike me a I little like an indignity offered to the Great Being, who, in his infinite wisdom, saw besi to form us as he did. But it may be such scruples are not necessary._ If it is fash ionable, it must be right and beautiful, too; must it not, Mary?" She raised her head and looked thought-. fully at me without replying. Sli.s was get ting glimpses of a side of my life that had been revealed to her but very little. If there ; was grief in her countenance then, I could not detect any anger. I took liar hand in mine; she did not withdraw it. I waited in silence a few minutes, giving her time to think of what I had said. I then asked--,- "Do you wish to finish that sentence, Mary ? Are you ready to say. now, that you never can forgive me?" tier reply was: " I wouldn't _have grieved you so this night:: I took both her hands in mine, and told her the whole story of my going to Newport. She whiled through her tears before was half through, and laughed repeatedly before I closed. As I finished, I said— " Now, Mary, I think the shock you gave me was quite as great as the one I gave you. What shall' we do about' it? Shall we mu tually forgive each other, or shall we part in anger?" "put I did not intentionally shock you," she replied, " and when your mind was re lieved by finding that nothing worse had hap pened to me than following a new fashion, it seems to me that thankfulness should have prevented your making so serious a thing of it." " But my mind was 'not relieved; Mary. That was not the trouble. It seemed to me about as great a misfortune to have your mind and taste so fearfully warped as to see beauty in the semblance of such malforma tion, as it did seem, when I supposed you really were so distorted." "I must say, in justice to myself, John, that I never have seen much beauty or sense in this fashion. At first it was really quite distasteful to me. But you know one gets accustomed to such things when the most stylish ladies wear them; and I am expected to ho dressed fashionably, of course." I shall make this,letter too long and weary your patience, Mansfield, if I stop to write all I said in reply. You know vou used to say: " When John gets inspired he is quite eloquent." I don't know about the eloquence ; but I do know, if I ever felt inspired and talked in earnest, .did then. 1 think I suc ceeded in convincing her that it should be her part in life to become a teacher and leader in such things as would improve and elevate those of her sex who lOoked to her as a safe guide in dress and manners, instead of being led herself by that class of women who invent an& follow such unseemly fash ions. Once more I questioned her as to wbat was to be done with that unfinished sen tence. Before she could reply the door bell rang. She exclaimed: " What will you do? That is father, and Cousin ,Darle, from Chic ago, is with him. Father will take him right in here. Do put on your shawl; Johp, I wouldn't have them see you fixed up like that for the *Mitt - Side would tease me forever ahnutit. What are you looking for? Here is your shawl." ' "Looking for your shawl; ,dear ? What will you do?" I replied. I was standing-near the door, with my shawl threWn carelessly over my shoulders, When they entered. After introducing his nephew, and inquiring quite partictf.arly in regard to my health, Mr: deserve asked if I were going to leave so early. I replied that I was obliged to drive down town to attend to a little business, but should return in a short time. There is, no need of telling you, Mansfield, what MP business was'. Mary looked infinitely relieved. She knew that I should not bet obliged to sit in a shawl after I came back. On my return, my nary, my own 3fary, no longer crippled add bowed over like Aunt Blakey; but with the sane graceful figure and 4dastic motions she had before going to New. port, met me in the hall. I passed my arm around her and 'pressed . my lips to hers. I whispered— "'sit true, darling, that you never can for give met • She did not speak, but from the gentle,im swering pressure of her lips to mine, I knew that I war 'forgiven, and that the Grecian bend had disappeared from her (brevet With great gratitude, I ant, respectfully. yours, - JONATRAN PARTICULAR.

A MARRIAGE :to,* place in Thomaston, Blaine, last Saturday, in which the bride groom was eighty-five and the bride eighty. A BALTIMORE paper urges the male :7 goods clerks of that city to throw down their yard-sticks and surrender to the women. A ST. Louts husband has applied for di vorce on the ground that his wife is in the habit of throwing the children at his head. TILE CIIILLICOVIE (Ohio) Gazette says that two citizens of that place have, one twenty-three, and the otber twenty-five living children—each man having now his. third wife. Mn. Ilcoottis says there is no country in the world where wives are more worshipped than in France. He regrets to say, however, that all the adoration comes from somebody ehe's husband. A Tom; lady having promised her grand ma that she would never marry a certain fellow,"on the face of the earth," repaired with him, after the Old lady died, to the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, and was mar ried underground. A MARRIED man in Constantinople had a difficulty with five of his wives, which he settled hy.tying them up in sacks and throw. hag them into the Bosphorus. • His thirty eight other wives have given him no trouble slate that bit of house-cleaning came off. IT is a curious and instructive fact, that out of every 100,000 married persons (inclu ding widowers) at the age of 20, 626 die be fore attaining the age of 2.5, while out of a similar number of persons unmarried, at the same age, no less than 1,221 die before at taining the age of 25. LAST Friday, while a girl named Kennedy was passing through the woods near Mem phis, she was seized by a negro and horribly violated. The next morning he was found by some of the citizens and identified by the child.. He was then taken to the scene of violence and hanged. IN Philadelphia it has been a peculiarity of the "old families" for the last nix years, that they have assumed a simplicity of man ner and dress, in order to he distinguished from those whose sudden riches are expend ed in all kinds of extravagance. "Elegant simplicity" is now Me mode in Philadelphia. Tuts is the way a colored gentleman of Great Barrington, Mass., announced his in tended marriage, combining business with pleasure: " Notice:—Cezar Carter will be married at Miller's Hall, November'2s, 1868, at 7 o'clock, P. M. Admittance to the -Hall 50 cents. A good time expected. Come one, come all.—SEAZari CARTER. A CONNECTMUT legislator having become satisfied that the majority of married people desire separation, proposes to annul all es• biting marriages. The small minority who are satisfied with their present condition can get mnt-tett over azaln, which will be cheaper than to compel• the majority to sue for di vorces. A FEW days since a lady' of Gloucester, Mass., had occasion to leave her house for a few minutes; and left her six • months' baby on the floor. On returning. she was sur prised to find her child missing. After snrching for some time she discovered that the family Mg had taken the baby to the garret and deposited it in a basket of old rags. A MAnnvnvu 310 r.—Brigham 'Young is a marrying man, rather, according to the fol lowing newspaper announcement: "Married, in Salt Lake-City, IGth inst., in presence of the saints, Brigham Young, to Mrs. R. J. Martin, Miss Emily P. Martin, Miss L. BE Pendemmst,Mrs. Jenickson, Miss Susie P. Cleveland, all of the county of Berke, England. No cards." Acu not Enoch Arden „case is reported in Ireland. A. woman, married ten years ago. was shortly afterward forsaken by her husband, who emigrated to America. At the end of nine years she married again, the See. and husband, like the first, belonging to the laboring class. Soon after this the return of the first husband was reported whereupon the woman, who had kept the fact of her first marriage a profound secret, immediately disappeared, and the most diligent search by both husbands .has failed to discover her re treat. A CotiEmerr'mati has had an eicellent opportunity to do as Enoch Arden did, but he utterly refused. lie neglected to write . home Nylien — cay in the array, and was finally reported as dead, when his wife, after mourning the proper time, married again. At last he came back, found his wife com- fortably established with her new' husband and a new baby, and in his wrath - prosecuted each of them, the wife for bigamy and the husband for adultery. Their trial has just been conelnded, and both have been acquit ted. Now the woman says she will cleave to her last choice. toNnoN is overrun by a set of men who imprudently proclaim that they do not intend to marry, nay, that they want not to marry —anti that they will not take to themselves wives on any consideration. They even pre- tend to erect their own practice into a pre cept,.and to be the apostles of a new creed, whose first and last commandment is,"Thou shalt not be such an ass a,s,to get married." They freely allow that they; are a new variety of the human species: but they plead that they are a superior variety—in fact, the finest variety that has ever yet been produced. A Dxsatixo Young widow in Detroit pre pared a pleasant surprise - for her suitor a few evenings since. Expecting a call tiom him, she hid herself in a convenient corner, and as he touched the knob of the door bell, sprang.out in the darkness of the evening, and nearly smothered •him—with kisses. His cool-reception of her caresses startled her with the recognition of the fact that in stead of her lover she bad been lavishing her sweetness upon the conductor of a streetcar, who had conic with a note explaining an un foreseen absence. The' widow thereupon, with great propriety, fainted on the spot. Tue Wrre of-M. V. de .31—,id Antwerp, .was recently safely delivered of four female children. According to-the local journals, this occurrence created au immense sensation in the town. When the christening took place, the church was crowded with specta tors, and thousands of persons lined the streets along which the cortege of four nurses with their charges, and ,as many godfathers and godmothers, were.' to pass. Cries of "Thent lee epou.r V. de 3f—? lirent leers enfants!" were raised, and many ladies only found relief. from their emotions in tears. After the return home of the children they had to be brought out to the balcony of the house to receive an ovation from the crowd assembled in the street. All the little ones, as well its the mother, are doing well. Tue FmnFteto (Irma) Ledger contains romance which runs about as follows: "Years ago a Pennsylvania farmer loved a charming young girl from his own village. Time passed .on. Farmer occasionally got tight, or, in other words, started a brick-yard in his hat. Wife objected; farmer became angry; stabbed hi s wife with a butcher knife; wife fell swooning t o the door; farmer leaves precipitately for the West; wife recovers; alter five years mar ries again ; husband dies in a year she leaves for the West; arrives at Fairview.; stops at a boarding-house; meets former husband; years • have passed ; she does not recognize him, and be knows her not; he loves her: proposes; she accepts; they marry; not twenty-four hours after wife disrobes; an ugly scar is vis ible;lmsband sees this scar; is utterly amazed.

A FouCiitas Etoeesterr.—The New Ha ven Register says: "We learn from a gentle man from Bridgeport, that yesterday (17th inst.,) a Miss Cooley,a scholar atMrs. Ward's boarding school in that city, was forcibly carried off by a young gentleman named Willett, of Brooklyn, to whom she was en gaged to be married when her educathan should be completed. He called at the house where the young lady boarded, and proposed that_she and a lady friend should acompany hint to the depot.
