CHAPTER I.
"I wiili you woulJ cire your consent.
Cecil. If you don't, I shall go without it ;
for I hive such a passion lor riilinj on
horseback."
"Ah, yes, no doubt you have a passion
for riding; for women have passions for
everjr-lhing expensive you hive a paisitm
for dancing, and consequently a jwision fur
parlies, and, therefore, a passion lot fine
dress, hut 1 never hear you say that you
have a passion for heme a rood housekeep
er, or a passion for making your husband
iinppr, sir hi .nun, a passion lur aiiyimng
useful and economical. Now. Emma, in the
present stale of things, I can ill afford ex.
travagances ol any kind ; anil even il I
could, I would never consent lo your riding,
until I became anxious lo have your neck
broken."
Emma pouleil her beautiful under lip
but maintained a most provoking silence.
Air Uuilley knew mat lie had spoken has.
lily and pettishly, and now in a milder lone
bf voice, he said :
"Believe rat. Emma, I would rather erat-
lit you in almost anything else, but you
must give up this whim to please me."
Still E.mma made no anairer, but rocked
to and fro in her little chair, as though hrr
life depended upon a certain number of
movements in a moment. Air Dudley waa
a nervous man, aud this constant rocking,
together with her silence, annoyed him,
"cnuna, i wisn you would stop rockine
said he in a snort, quick lone.
will, Mr Dudley," she replied, and
gathering up her needle-work she attempted
to leave tne room.
"Now, Emma, don'l go off in ill-humor,
bul sil down and hare a quiet lalk wilh me.
and i win convince you nut i was rleht in
this matter," said Mr Dudley wilh tender
earnestness, as lie took hold ol his wile s
hand.
"You will, convince me you are obstinate,
and that is all you will aucceed in doing,
Air uuuicvr replied his wile, in a very
chilling tons of voice, at the same lime
attempting to withdraw the imprisoned hand.
But Air Dudley retained brm hold, and
closing the door, he drew her gently to
ward a seat.
"Will you not yield willingly iu this one
thing lo me, brnmar
Mrs Dudley pouted, and her face wore a
very indignant expression, but she made no
answer.
"I want you lo take this kindly, Emma,
for you know how much I love, and how
very painlul it is lo me to refuse any re'
Quest which vou mske."
''If vou loved me, Cecil, you would not
refuse a trifle so pertinaciously. 'Actions
speak louder than words,' is an old adage,
and a very true one, I believe."
Mr Dudley leaned back in the velvet
cnair, urawing long sign as in. stub wit
tiliued "There is Mrs Dill Howell her husband
never thinks of refusing anvihinz to her
she told me so herself tho other day, and
laughed at me when I said that I did not
believe you would listen to my going. I
am nol near as exlravagaut as shu is, and
I am surt you are as well oir as Hill How
ell."
"lie is the best tuilge, Emma, of what
extravagances be is able lo indulge in; but
don't quote that woman lo me, lor I never
iked her, and have always disapproved of
the intunacv between vou.
"No. I know you never like sty irienas.
If I were to do as vou wish me to. I should
immure myself within these walls, asclose-1
ly as a nun in a convert, aud never toon
hrnugh the lattices without a thick, green
veil over my face."
Mow you are unjust, bmma, replied
Mr Dudley, "I do not wish you to go to
either extreme, but there is a medium be
tween being in the street continually, as
Air a Howell is, and I no seclusion you speaK
of." , ,
"Well. Mr Howell Is the right kind of a
man." interrupted Mrs Dudley, "he insists
upon his wife's going out every day, and
he takes her to operas and concerts they
go to len parlies where we go to onr, and
he never spends his evenings awsy Irora ner
as you do Trnm me, till one and two o'clock
in, the morning,"
"Unkind and untuit again, emma," sign
ed Mr Dudley, "you well know how gladly
I would remain at home wiin you, were It
not for my business, but thai I cannot neg
lect even for my own happiness."
"Ah. it does very well lo make your busi
ness an excuse, but l don I aelieve mat you
spend one-third of your evenings at the
..... . .j at.. .... ., ,in..,..
store; and Airs Howell says alio uoesn t
believe you are there at all,"
"Confound Mrs Howell," said Dudley,
ri'inz to his feet. "I wish that woman
hadn't such a lonz lonzue : vou are as en
lily influenced bv hrr as a vane by (he
winu, ann instead nt Dringtue warm-ncan
ed, loving little wife wliicli.jou used lo be,
you are ns'fond pf fashion and folly as any
heartless woman of the world. It is all
owing In your intimacy with her I pre
dicted il from the lust."
"do on go on. Mr Dudley, and abuse
me and my friends as much as you think
proper, for I shall only lure thrm all the
heller lor it, ' replied Airs Dudley, in a
snerrine (one of voice.
Cecil Dudley looked sternly and steadily
into her face, and flushed with excitement
she returned the gaze boldly and without
quailing, Wilh a feeling of 'disgust which
ha had never before experienced for his
wife, Mr Dudley turned and left the room
CHAPTER II.'
The morning of the following ilsy found
Emma Dudley in her luxuriously furnished
parlor in earneat conversation wilh her
friend, Mrs Howell. The velvet tttc-a-ttte
upon which ihry were lounging, was oppo'
site the large mantle mirror, and certain
ly two more beautiful countenances were
never reflected neon its sleaminir surface.
Through the rich crimson hangings of the
lofty windows poured a flood of light, sub.
dued, yrl full of warmth and beauty, and
Hie cosily lurniture were pained wnn glow-
As they sst side by sjde, their beauty
was of so different a cast, it was difficult lo
tell tthicti was must lovely.
Emma Dudley, scarce twenty, wilh a
complexion clear as a lily's, ;tt radiant as
a rose eyes of dsrkcst hazle, shaded by
their long silken fringes of jet, and raven
hair banded over a forehead of brilliant pu
rity, was a being lo love passienately, and
even so hail Cecil Dudley lofed her ftnm
the moment they had met. Madly and
wildly had he devoted every1 hour of his
leisure lo the winning of her love ; and
nhen in a few shotl months they were wed
ded, he gazed wilh mingle. I emotions ol joy
and pride upon her beautiful face, forgetting
that her disposition, her tailes, her intel
lect, were all as a sealed book lo him. In
love with the beautiful casket, he rested
not until he called it his. Ah I little dream
ed he, that beneath its jewelled lid a ser
pent lay encoiled, whose fanjs should nne
dsy pierce his heart.
Emma possessed the elements of a noble
nature; but they were all but overgrown
wilh the weeds which pride and vanity had
fostered, Had Cecil been less exacting
had he made her character his study, far
different would have been the record of this
portion of their lives.
This morning a wrapper of garnet cash,
mere, trimmed with velvet, filled lightly her
graceful form, and frills of the finest lace
drooped over the small, blue-veined hands.
Mrs Howell, wilh her transparent and
pure complexion her large, blue eyes
arched eye-brows and auburn ringlets, had
uy tar loo innocent an expression lo hareJ
justified Mr Dudley in his dislike. And
Anne Howell's face was an unerring index
of her heart. With a joyous disposition.
a fondness for mirth and pleasure, were
mingled all the high leelings ol a noble and
sensitive nature. Open and pure as the
day, she scorned deceit, and would have
been the laat person to suspect il in her
Irienil.
Mrs Howell dressed well, but not extrav
agantly, and this morning the dark blue
velvet bonnet, and cloak of the same, which
.enveloped her person, were b"6th graceful
ano Becoming, it was tne last month oi
Winter, and at the suggestion of her'hus-
band, she wss lo commence, in a few days,
a course of riding lessons. Not wishing to
go by herself, she bad requested Emma
Dudley to accompany her, and Emma had
wilfully misrepresented her remarks lo her
husband, and was now in the same manner
misleading her friend. -
"There is no use In saying anything
more to him," she continued, after a short
pause, "he is as obstinate as he is close
only think of his objecting to it, because it
was so expensive I 1 bale meanness, aud I
have half a mind to go without saying a
word to him until the bill is sent in."
.Oki,-; S3mm, ttw4ll ..74.00 a,i.1l
you ought nol to think of such a thing for
a moment. I presume he has some other
motive for not cousentine."
"Yes, you always take his part, but If
you knew what he said aDout you, you
would scarcely take the trouble to defend
him, I think,"
"Ob, I know he doesn't like me, but then
we both know it is because he loves you
so well, that he is jealous of your love for
me ; and so 1 don't mind what he says."
".Well, you would mind it if you knew
we had a regular quarrel about you yester
lay, and he went off without his breakfast,
leaving mo to eat mine by myseu.
"Now you have excited my curiosity
pray what could he say t"
"Why. he said that you were like a vane,
alwais,perched up where every one ' could
see you, aud that he did not want me to
take vou fur a cuide in anything j but I
told him that all that he could say sgsinst
you would only mske me love you the
more, and then ha leu me, ana 1 nave nev

Airs Howell s .race crimsoned aa binma
Dudley repeated the misrepresented re
mark. "Why, Emma, I don't see what could
make him so unkind towards me doesn't
he know that our physician has ordered ex
ercise in the open air for me every dayt
Do tell him this, dear Emma, anil tell him
that Willie insists upon my going, whether
I feel inclined or not."
"I hsve told him a thousand times, but
there is no use 111 talking lo a man as leal
ous as a Turk, and twice as selfish he
won't listen to reason about any one, and
I hare made up my mind to let him take
his course, and i ll take mine."
"Don't lalk so, Emma, for depend upon
it you will only widen the breach already
formed. Do everything in your pnver lo
filease him. Acquiesce in every wish, and
le will become ashanjedoL his tinreasona.

in your own happiness, and in finding him
more indulgent and (ess selnsn."
"Ah. it is well enough for vou to preach
but I am nol E'nB 10 practice 1 it would
only make him more whimsical thin ever."
Mrs Howell sighed she felt more sym
pathy for her friend than she dared lo ex
press, and when ahe left, Iter last words

"Do as I wish you tn, Emma, and you
will he all the hannier for it."" She turned
to descend the marble steps, and met Mr
Dudley face lo face he had heard her Ian
remark. He bowed coldly, auq sho an
swered it as coldly, at she passed nil.
"Well, and whal does your, friend wish
you to d now, Emma 1" sald.Mr Dudley,
in a pleasant lone of voice, his arm 'Encir

arm from her and replied chillingly
"I do nut know as it is pf any coiibc.

"It It nf eonsenuenee. Emma of life-

For a moment Emmn waa aofieneil it
was bul for a moment, and forcing back
Iho teara which hail started to her eyes,
she replied
"I shall follow my wishes, and you are
at liberty to follow your;."
"Are you determined to take these les
ions in tiding 1"
"I am."
"Will you wean yourself from me forele'r,
Eiuina t think before you ansver;tl en-
treat of you."
"If such a little thing as my taking-lessons
in riding will went you from me, your
lore is not Worth having."
aii, bmnia, it is the principle not the
thing itself. You will not wring my heart
by persisting will you, darling f Look at
me, and see how Pill of lotc fur yon are
my ryes, and tell nie you will yield in this
ono thing to me."
Emilia smiled scornfully as she answer
ed ;
'If pnting a bill of twcnly.fivo or thirty
dollars will so wring your heart, there can
not surely be much love in your eyes, ex
cepting love of money !"
Cecil Dudley's face became of an ashy
paleness, for a moment he was speechless,
then he ssid
"My God, Emma, this is more than I
can bear. You hare never loved me as I
have loved you, but we have found it out
loo late."
He opened the door, and passed up the
staircase to a room used is a library lock
ed the door, and threw himself upon a sofa.
Twice during the lung day Emma Dud
ley went lo the room and listened, bul nol

The next morning, Mr Dudley appeared
at the breakfaat-tsble, with a pallid face
and blood'shot eyes. He drank his coffee
in silence, and pushing the untasled muffins
from him, arose and left the room.
Had Emma followed the impulses of her

denied herself lo all her friends, and in sol

which she had practiced toward him, and
her warmest female friend.
The latent good which had so long lain
dormant was at length awakened, but the
sun of her husband's lore was withdrawn,
and there was no light or warmth to devel
ope the beamy of the germ.
One evening, at twilight, Emma aat by
the open window in her room, fanned by
the gentle spring breezes. Oh, how she

Emma wai astounded. Not once had

One by one she opened her bureau draners,
anil lined another trunk with the contents.
Her traveling dress she had left hanging in
the wardrobe, and now she placed a coarse
straw bonnet and green, veil beside it a
heavy, long shswl, and her gaiters. She
drew her watch from her pocket it waa

and hood, ahe descended the staircase and

Jl was nearly morning when Emma start

She folded and sealed the letter, which
was wet with her fast tailing', teara then
wrote another, and directed il to her moth

the lace hangings, and Emma darkened the
room and sank back pallid and exhausted
in her chair. A step near the door aroused
her ahe arose, turned the key, and looked
nut it waa only a servant passing with wa
ter 10 his master's room.
Dissppointed, she threw herself upon the
couch, snd her eyes, heavy with watching
and weeping, closed. All her misery was for
the time forgotten, for she slept. Again a
footstep aroused her. Springing to her feel,
she saw through the open door her hus
band's form. "Cecil," she called, but in a
voice so feeble, it failed to reach his car.
She followed him down the stairs she was

cast such a withering look upon her that
she shuddered, and turning hastily retraced

remaining preparations, and when at eight

the suite of rooms, and hastened up the
staircase again.
After putting in her purse the 'money,
which for the last few weeks her husband
had left from lime lo lime upon her bureau,
she locked the trunks, took the keys, and
putting on her shawl and bonnet, stole noise
lessly to the front door. The hack was
not in sight. The servants were all at ihrir
breakfast, hut she trembled wilh fear lest
some of them should appear before she
could have gone. Just then a carriage
turned the corner of tho atreel, and slop

Something abont Honseliolil Affairs. ,
It is not our prsctice to disparage the
present age when comparing it with the
past. We are not of their opinion who
think every thing old-fashioned right, and
every thing new-fashioned wrong, Still
we cannot help thinking that tha relation
of master and servant, of misirets and
maid, was belief underload in the ck'en
time than it is now. Then it ripened inlq
friendship, confidence, and real concern for
each others' interests. Now, in too many
cases, it is so much work for sojnuch wa
ges, and a perpetual shirking of duties on
the one side, and a cheapening of labor on
the other.
In the old time, the servant looked
upon his or her master's house, not as a
temporary covert, (ill he could make a bet
ter bargain, but as his home, where, for
aught he expected or wished, he was lo
end his days. In The honor aud prosperity
of the house lie exulted In the day of its
calamity he was a mourner.
Then the "eyes of Ihs maid were to her
mistress," and Ihe aame hand that decked
the babe for the "christening," adorned
her when a bride Tor her nuptials. In the
long winter evenings,, when all grouped
themselves around Iho big hickory fire,
(guiltless as yet of grates and anthracite,)
and the same jest went round that all had
laughed at a dozen years before, while the
apples and nuts circulated from Ihe patri
arch pair to the "wee ones" in the chimney,
where was the discordant heart that shared
not in the common joy I
Where was the restraint, and yet where

Confidence, confidence 1 that slow grow

growth confidence, we say, prevailed in
thoso old-fashioned limes, and blessed were

A very foolish feeling has sprung up,
that some how or other, it is not reputable
lo be, or to be called a servant. Need we
say, that any alalion Is honorable that is
honorably filled t It is no disgrace to be
a serranl,, though it is to be a bad one,
There js no honor in being a" master or mis
