division of , bad keen for Home i
consul era bio time past, violently in ]
love with the wife* of an humble tin- j
man, of -the town where the general
le sides. Great difficulty attended
the meeting oft the lovers, owing to
the distance of tfieir situations in life
as well as the husband'** vigilance.
However* Mrs. l>lock~tin contrived'
it with her lover oue night, to-order ?
the husband, who belonged to the na-s
tioual guard, to do duty on ji pdist at*
some distance frofti their dwelling,
whicluwould keep hitt-mfaU
when the gallant Was to tatc pu^ses
sion of the tin-shop and every tiling .
in it. All went on as could be wish- "i
ed, but while the lovers thought
themselves in perfect security, a
knock came at the doer, it was the
husband ? he was brought homo,
where he certainty was not expected,
the general had just time to take bis
clothes, and secret liimself ,in some
|>art of the house, lor out of it he could
not go: The husband got into his
wife's bed -complaining of Violent
spasm*. His wife ^
- ? ? ???m, swui'by
hiiu to go himself to the apothecary's
to get some medicine, nvlncli he did.
Upon his going out, the gallant soon
madfe bis escape from durance. The
husband having purchased his medi
cines, was about to pay for tliem?
he put Ills band iitttt his pocket, arid
to his great astonishment, he jiullcd
out a great heavy purse full of gold
which<*rtaihly he knew -did liot be
long to iiim> looking^ his
naatakmns, he* saw to Ids great grief
that they also were not his own. ?
Upon reaching home, lie insisted

upon knowing who w& tlijc* owner
of the pantaloons, winch the wife
soon informed hi*. A trial against
tlie general amMris f air one/ for
