Jlrarlk. A Story For Women. THE WOMAN WHO WOULDN'T BE JKALOUS. "No, ly Jove!" i-xc'.iiimeil Harry Vitnc, us lie (lu-vw liims'.'lf biick in his fiiy clmir, Mini gracefully R-iuoral ft frugiMiit Hiiviinit fiiiut his li.ti, for tilt puijiosu of exlinling u cloud ot the per fumed smoke ; "no, liy Jove J'' he re peaU'tl, "I wouldn't marry it jealous wo uniB if Blie wa Ilia riclut heireMi in the woriil. I tell you, Vlu-r, it wouMn t tlu for my wife lo lie ji ulous. This be ing eternally convluul looue i : jt 1 1- liuntlle ot Jjtce unci ilivinily is tin oiler impossi bility to it man of my constitution. I have a natural ttist'e for variety, tin y'"i see,; uml the most I want of a wife is jt; Ifceep house for me, and take cure of lliingM, mid give me a little k-lsun: to make myself agreeable io womankiinl in guni-rul. WlM'ii nothing more nrgruo alile turns up, why of course I ken she -.ati have the privilege ot i nteituiiiint; me, which with the consolation of know ing thai her huslinti't is the most accom plished laily-killcr in town, will, I take it, be ample compensation for a!) her ert ices in my behalf, litil you see if she were any way jealous slie iiii'itt not think so." "It would he posMb!c,I sliould think," said Waller Evi rett, "that Elie might he inclined lo uiaajfrce wiin you. 1 should think any woman who loved you would naturally object to euch an arrange ment. ' "Oil, pshaw, Everett !" exclaimed Harry, "that proes you lo be a notice. Don't you know tnat love iu u luiale heart is made ut) ol juil two elements -vanity and seil-sauiiiic.e. Just give a vvoiiiun it husUaud that she is proud of, and youor, that is. you might not lie abb- lo but a man of my ccomplisli menls can coax her into anything under the sum Wttil till 1 marry J 111 show you how to manage a w fe. I'll show you how lo unite all the freedom of a bachelor wi.h all the privileges of a Benedict." Waller smiled, and puffed away at his cigar iu silence. The two young men were clerks in a large mer&iulile establishment in the cily. They occupied aptiimenla in the same hou.-c, and were gut'ei ally un very close and intimate terms. Perhaps it may not be necessary lo intorin thu reader that lla'iy was somethintr of a coxcomb though he was by no means as immoral us might be interred from his own ac count of hiiusti'. This Waller kjiew, ami Ite could therefore listen tu his oc casional strains of gasconade with the uiaioslf.ciei.ity, even thoueh per fee ly aware at ihe time lh.il the speaker cnUi laimd serious idcis of fi.-.itlly bestowing tlie iueffablc honor of his name aud pro tection upon aceilain little Cou-sin of his on e. Muss Susleiilaliloll. Thai this con-fideiu.-e went go far us lo lead Jiim lo Con ceal Irom the Msid young lady the tenli uienlsao frtqueutly txpreosed. we can not vouch. Indeed, the writer ralher has Ihe idea thai the two frequently talked over in piivate this liutorluiiate failing of their mutual Iricnd, and stud ied frtqueutly lod.-vise soine tn.-thovl of reducing the proitortiuus or Harry's orgn of Titriety Nothing, hoivever. very efTerlual was accomplished during the courtship ami iii process r.f time Mr Harry Vane en tered Ihe title of matrimony under the full conviction that bis loving .Susie pos sessed not one fpaik of jealousy, and that lier im-rreeni::g affection for him would fend h. r tu accept with unfeigned gratitude and joy a hatevcr attentions it Blight please bun to btstow Uion her, and to preserve a discreet siletace lu re jparl to m haltttor (he uiighj.,te is liis 'C ft s outgoings or incomings that was peculi ar or mysterious T.i do .Susie justice, she was not nut ur ally of a jealous disposition ; but beside her innate amiability in that respect, she hud a little bit of that shy, womanly pride, which made her resolve that she would'l be jealous. No, indeed, she would m-vcr be pointed at us a jealous wife; neither should Mr. Harry Vane have ihe pleasure of insinuating Hut he managed his wife, that she was duly in urui ted and trained ut home to look con veniently in the other direction, when ever he chose to open the invincible bat tery of his fascinations upun any inno cent and unsuspecting young female. No, iioj the lillle lady wasloo acute for that. , luhereiore happened that whenever at ball or parly Air llutiy VaHe made himself particularly agreeable to any l.idy, Mrs. tluiry Vane also cultivated Ihe same individual. If Mr. Harry Vane I only danced with tlie young lady, or es corted her out lo supper, Mr.-. Harry Vane contented herself with the most amiable inquiiiy after the said young lady s health, and gracious hopes that ihe family at home were quite well. If Mr. Vane danced twice wiui the young lady, ill's. Vane straightway iuviied hel lo call, and intimated thai sbe should vciy soon give herself Hie pleasure of visiting the young lady, and if tualterg went still further, and Mr. Harry Vane indulged in a little tete-a-tete, or a flirta tion, Mrs. Htrry Vano immediately lixed a day, and asked Ihe young lady to lea. At home, too, if Mr. Harry Vane ex claimed w ith enthusiasm, "By J.ive. but that Miss West has a splendid figure J" Airs Vane replied with equal enthusiasm 'She has indeed, und she danced inimita bly." Or if Harry remarked that "Aruuiiiila Waters was decidedly the liMidsomest woman at Airs. .Morgan 's parly," Susie added, gently, "Thai ru mor said she was as amiable and accom plished as she was handsome and fasci nating." By this sly way of lighting i.ie with tire, she had succeeded in ex tinguishing a half ttozen glowing pen- cluiutt in the bosoui ot uer liege lord ; while at the same lime the unilonti sweetness and aiiiiabiiity ol her own con duct could not fail lo deepen the admi ration and respect which Harry had pos sessed for her when he married her. So it went on for a year or two, and Susie fouud herself a mother. Alter that tilings seemed U) mend a little, but baby's charms toon lost power, and Susie's trial took another form. Her loving heart, which wits constantly, though quietly, walchlul of Harry1 lightest movement, was wounded at its most sensitive point. Harry frequently left home .without in viting her lo accompany him, or even informing her or his destination. Alnch as her unxious tears wers stailletl by this new shadow upon her domestic peace, Susie had the discretion lo say uotiiiug, but meanwhile to double her assiduity in winning hiiu to home pleas ures All her efforts, however, availed her little, at least one evening a week he coii tinutd to spend uway Horn her. At first site wnsalraitl heu.ight be entering upon some Course of dissipation, but caret ul ohstii vatiou soon conviuctd her that whatevei sin might he laid to his charge, the love of liquor was not one ; and as drinking forms an ingredient of nearly all forms of dissipation, she finally e.t.ue to the conclusion thai, as of old his wandering, inconstant heart was sliaying after some new light of female beau'y. it is possible thai at this juncture she may have taken her cousin Walter into confidentxs. One beautiful morning in July Hairy seemed in no hurry lo go lo lon. lie lingered reading his newspaper afler breakfast till nearly nine oVIock, and then, dressing himself carefully iu his handsomest suit., carelessly bade bis wite good morning, and strolled leisurely up the road, instead of going down It, tow ard Ids pkee ot business. The quick i perceptions of hid wite had noticed a j strange disquietude in his maimer all the morning, and she smiled a quiet smile i toiierse:f, as she slood before the loir ror iu her own room, arraying herself in i her most becoming walking costume, for Airs. Harry Vane was going out too box lilted a dainty pair of boots to her ' pretty feet, und tightened the fastenings of Uer sweetest pair of kid gloves, put on her most bewitching toi net, and then took h j Inst glance in the mirror 10 assure herself th.il there wasn t a swet-U-r or umte captivating little woman than Alia. Harry Vane. "He has good tasle.at any rate," she thought, "and that is one consolation." UjI the little half siglt which closed the seutance intimated r , .. tV " V - US' -lAil it- Subscription that it wasn't so very consoling afler all. Afler her own toilet was completed baby was dressed in his richest and most apntless robes, and Alary was intrusted with the precious charge and bid to fol low her mislress. Imwn Ilia mail trip ped the lady, tuking the shortest way to the river std. There lay Hie steamer, with flag! Hying and whistles blowing, just ready lo convey a parly of happy excursionists tlown the river. Airs, Harry Vane tripped lightly over the pier, followed by Alary and baby, and the next moment the gallant steamer with its holiday company was fairly under way. Airs. Vano walked leisurely to the fore part of the vessel and then, adparenlly very much to her surprise, discovered Air. Vane silling in most attentive proximity to a handsome and showy young lady, who was evi diiitly quite the slave of Air. Vane's fas cinations "Why, good morning, Harry!' ex claimed Airs. Vine, in her sweetest and most cordial tones ; this is indeed a de lightful surprise. 1 had not anticipated Hie pleasure of your company. After you left home I happened to notice the adveriisemeni of the excursion, and baby hiis seemed soaiiing late'y, that I thought U uiighl do him good lo lake an excur sion, so 1 di'i-ssed myself as quickly as possible anil hurried down here" What could Air. Hurry Vane say in re ply to this most amiable aud wife like greeting? lira. Vane was not at a long, however, to Til) up ihe piuse which his hesitation occasioned. "This lidy is a friend of yeiirs, I pre sume introduce me to her, Harry,'1 said she, turning to thelady. "Air. Vine's cir cle of friends, previous to our marriage was no very extensive that I have not even yet made tlie acquaintance of all of them. I hi'pe, howeter, to know them ail in the course of time, tor nothing . gives me greater pleasure t .an to enter- tain Harry's friends Your nam, is 'I I di.ln'l quite understand.'' "Aliss Wenlworlh," replied the lady, bowing stiliJy. "Ah j yes. Miss Wenlworlh,'' said Aim. Vane, complacently ; "1 d not recollect hearing Hurry speak of you; but it is all the same ; my memory is very treacher ous; and indeed he might have mention ed your name, casually, you know, a lozen times, and still 1 might have lor gotten it. But bless me 1 where is the baby 1 Alary, come here." Alary answered tits call, and placed the blue-eyed little wonder in th; arim of its delighted mamma. "Mamma's precious little darling ! was it warm? soil was. Alumina wid take off its hat so she will, 'i'here doeti it see its papa? there, so it does, and knows linn, loo precious angel 1 See! Aliss Wenlworlh, s; how well the little darling knows its lather, and it isn't four months old yet. 1 And Airs. Vane danced tlie chubby, red -faced little Uiiug up and down in Air Vane's face, and asked, en thusiastically, "Didn't Aliss Weutworlli think he was just the iaiage of 'pa'!"' ' There were several ot Harry's acquain tances on board, by whom the affair was thoroughly understood ; and it was not long until Ihe story passed Irom lip lo lip, and smiles and titters and jokes at poor Harry's expense circulated in every direction. He excused himself as speed ily as possible from like society of the ladies, and walked moodily to ihe other end of the boat, und there stood contem plating what he should do to extricate himself from this dilemma "What the deuce am. I to do.?" lie soliloquised. "To bl iw out at her, aa 1 should like to. would only raise a row and circulate the story , and I can't get riil of uer, for the boat won't put back I suppose on my account. Gad) if the water wasn't so hot, I'U drown ruyitdf To bring that red faced little imp with her, loo I It is a pr.eKy child enough though ; of course it couldn't be anything else and be my child ; and she looks deuced pretty herself, too, tn-dav. She's a vast ileal prettier lhau Aladge Went worth ever was lUe baggage! If I ever get safe out of this scrape, catch me risk ing my reputatiou ior another bold flirt like her .! Meanwhile, lliis Wentworth.who po sesaed a deal ot womanly tact in her way, had overcome in a measure the embar rassment ot her first meeting with Airs. Vane, and had entered very affably into conversation with her. The baby, as if determined to do its part, was as sweet tempered as its mamma, and cooed and laughed to the infinite delight ot Aliss Wentworth, who was, or pretended lo lie, -exceedingly fond of pets. Airs. Vane's amiability was perfectly irresisti ble, and when Air. Vane returned lie fount! thu two ladies on the btal possible tertus. - CT - - "" ft. UP Price, 81,00 A Year -"1 . - - I When dinner wns announced, Mrs. Vane exclaimed : "Air. Vano, give your arm to Mis Wentwnrlh," at the same time aijiropri nliug ihe oilier to lier own use, "and we will hurry down to, dinner. Thig eliff brecxe give one sudi au appetite-1" AI dinner, Ars. Vane's first attention, were given to Alis Weutworlli, and the cast failure upon the part of Mr. Vane (who, to tell the truth, wasn little absent minded) to observe tKe want of that young lady was reprimanded by Mr. Vane. "Aly (War. Miss VVentcortli will take some more fowl," said Mrs. Vane. "Har ry dear help Mica Wentworth to sonic of these delicious peas. Alifs Wentworth allow me to assist you Jo some of this sauce ; I assvure you it is delicious." Afterdinncr, the two ladies, with the baby, retired to the ladies1 cabin and Harry enjoyed an hour's immunity from the society of either. He retired aft to enjoy (il his Havana. Let us hope that its fragrance served in some lueature t calm his troubled mind. It was nearly dark when the excursion ists returned, nnd Harry called a cb for the ladies, and directed the driver to his residence. "Ha-ry, tr.y dear, hnw can y .u so impolite?" caid Mrs. Van".
