"Your toilette is completed, is it not?" asked ,Sir Philip, entering his wife's dressing-room some moments after the events just recorded; for Kate had been summoned, long before Mariam quitted, her meditations at the window,' to com mence dressing for dinner. " Quite," was the brief reply. " Then your maid can. be dispensed with, I presume ? I wish to speak to you." "Justine, you may go," Kate quietly said. without condescending to answer him; and as the door closed, she drop ped into an easy-chair, which she drew towards the fire ; for though the day had been delightful for out-of-door ex ercise, the September evening fell chilly, and with her pretty feet encased in a black satin boot on the fender, she sat quiet prepared for anything he might please to utter.. When a man sees his wife taking things coolly, he is sorely puzzled how to get on with his harangue. He walk ed up and down the room for a few moments, during which time she sat perfectly composed. "Did you speak?" she said at last, re solved at any risk to break the unpleas ant silent preface. "I am going to do so, and seriously," was his reply, taking a chair opposite to her, but without approaching the fire in a comfortable sort of way, as when two are going to indulge a cozy chat. No, he -sat cold, and apart, one arm on the table, looking at her. She half turned round, with a saucy but quite ease of manner, as if to say, "Now let us begin, and who the winner ?" "I wish to lay a case before you for your quiet judgment," he said at last. " I have to thank you for esteeming my judgment of 'sufficient weight to do so," was her answer. A lady, a foolish, sentimental idiot of a woman, old enough lo have known better—" " I don't think wisdom always in creases with age—it grown very owlish and stupid sometimes ; that is probably why that bird is chosen to represent it," she placidly interrupted. " Allow me to continue without your very witty observations, until the end." "I beg your pardon. I thought you were going to amuse me with some pi <panic anecdote; seeing my Mistake, I will-listen is' tranquil stolidity of intel lect to your tale of some old woman, who, I presume, lived in her shoe.'" "Your,insolence, Lady Montgomery, will not dirert me from a duty, however painful," burst from him at last. She merely shrugged her shoulders, and be continued: lady, some few years since, was silly enough, from some absurd idea of ferniuising her son's too robust mind, to throw him into the society of his tutor's daughter; in fact they were domiciled for. a length of time together. The lady was sufficiently —I, really can scarcely find a term to qualify her blindness. "Call it arrant folly," she interrupted. " Well, then, (I see you can, assist me,) call it so; she was mad, foolish enough to suppose, that a merely brotherly, sisterly affection, would be the result." "Mad, indeed !" uttered this reckless woman. He continued, affecting not to hear, but his color changed : " Time flew on ward, and this girl was thrown into the society of an honorable man, who—pity ing her state, bereft of a mother's care, with a sick, helpless-father, and it must be admitted, not at all unselflh, for he had a feeling nearly akin to love for her, —one that might have ripened to that —married her." Kate; with perfect composure, stoop ed and secured the leee of her brodequin. " Instead" he contimid, raising his tone, in deep indignation at her cool ness, "of any feeling of gratitude on her part, no sooner his wife than she com menced a series of acts, a combination of heartlessness and want of all respect for herself or her injured husband, in every way compromising herself with the companion of her girlhood." daring makes me question your sanity. But as you have chosen the names, under their banners we will discuss the point. And I, Sir Philip, tell Kate BateMau that=—'., " Stop, Sir Philip !" she cried, rising with dignity, and leaning one arm on the mantelpiece—"l am Lady Mont gomery now, whatever I was; and—c you forget my title—permit me to tell you, you have little right to complain if I, ceasing to remember it, for one happy hour, dream I am Kate Bateman." lie strove to speak, but she waved her hand almost imperiously, and con tinued. "You are not perfectly correct in the version of this tale. Sir Philip found, sought, pursued Kate Bateman into the humble home her exertions bad created for a sick father; he drew her into public, wooed her with professions of affection, which she felt from gratitude she should learn to return tenfold—for she believed hint. Well, then, they mar ried, and all her powers were exerted to make him a return for the affection which she deemed had selected her, from all others, to share his title and Fortra).— All was seemingly bright around her.— When she looked upon her father's im proved state, she blessed the authors when her husband was absent, she watch ed his return, to meet him with the happy thoughts her heart had gathered from memories of his kindness." Her voice grew low and trembling as she uttered these words. Recovering her self, she hastily added, fixing her gaze in stern coldness on the motionless list- 1111:2 "Now, let us see the reverse of this picture: Scarcely have they re-entered society together, when she hears the whispered or loud buzz around her of 'Sir Philip married her from pique, be cause Mariam Lincoln rejected him with scorn ;' and, in proof of the sinceri ty of the World's words this once, his wife.is slighted for Miss Lincoln, spoken coldly or harshly to ; does she wear a colour or dress to please him, She is counseller to model herself after a heart less, unprincipled flirt, who refused the man's honorable offers to receive the homage of his dishonourable overtures!

"And pray Heaven you may never hear a bitterer reproach for having married her I" cried the, exasperated, galled woman, bitter contempt in her look and tone; "pray you may never yourself drive her to fling a slur on your name, which generous action would have ennobled, in marrying a poor girl, had you treated her kindly," I grieve that the malignant envy of others, in re proachiug me with my father's honest abour, has made you so narrow in mind.

Inquiry is frequently made respecting the mode of patting a gloss on linen collars and shirt bosoms like that of new linen.—This gloss, or enamel as it is sometimes called, is procured mainly by friction with a warm iron, and may be put on linen by almost any person. The linen to be glazed . recieved as much, strong starch as it is possible to charge it with, then it is dried. To each pound of starch a piece of sperm, paraffin°, or white wax, about the size of a walnut, is usally added. When- ready to be ironed the linen is laid upon the table and moistened very slightly on the sur face with ti-clean wet cloth. It is then ironed in the nsual way with a flatiron, and is ready for the glossing operation. For this purpose a peculiar heavy flat iron, rounded at the bottom and polished as bright as mirror, is used. It is pressed firmly upon the linen and rub bed with much force, and this frictional action puts on the gloss. "Elbow grea se" is the principal secret coneected with the art of glossing linen. TETE COYMESIES OF LIFE.-Wm. Wirt'S letter to his daughter, on the 'small sweet courtesies of life," contains a passage from which a deal of happiness might be learned. "I want to tell you a secret. The way to make yourself pleasing to others is to show them that you care for them. The whole world is like the miller Mansfield, "who cared for no bociy—no, not ba— be— cause nobody cared for him." And the whole world would serve you so if you gave them the cause. Let every one therefore see that you do care for them by showing them what Sterne so happily calls the small courtesies, in which there is no parade whose voice is still to tease, and which re, anifests themselves by tender and effectionate looks, and little kind acts of attention; giving others the preference in every little enjoyment at the table, in the field walking, sitting or standing." , • EXTRA BANKING OPERATION.-OR Mon day, morning, Mrs. E. W. Wolsey went to the Bank of the Metropolis, Wash ington, to obtain the money for two checks of $lOO each, drawn for her benefit by E; W. lowland. Unacquain ted appearently with business of the sort, she stepped into the Bank, and instead of applying at the counter, pre sented them to a person who Was stood ing at a desk outside, and returned to her coach. This person preknted the checks to the paying teller, who refused to pay because they lacked Mrs. Wol sey's endorsement. He took a pen and went oat to the coach and returned with the check properly endorsed.— They were paid, and the fellow made off with the money, leaving the lady min us. A_ SCRAP OP HISCOP.I7.
