DOMESTIC TROUBLES. ASKETCH. BY LYZIE CLARNDON. (Concluded.] As soon as she disappeared, itarry lent over his weeping wire, and spoke .aoothlinglyand gently, endeavoring at :the same tIne, to remove her hands from before her face. 'Let me take you home, my own Ag .bes, "lidids 'We Ifill have no pryirl eyes on us- there, and I will share ,'.iur sorrow, b6 itwhat it may. Do ydiu believe mc, dearest?' He wound his arm around her,' and Iiow her into the light as he spoke, but she tutiind'perse 'eringly from him, and suink lkiek into 'hcr shaded corner again. Monteith looked and more surprised; and whenh- i.roko the silence that en suod, his tones were graver and sadder than she had1. c.ver heard them. 'This inustabo explained, Agncs-I ulgtkuow the cause of such strange liehavior. Why do you repulse me so scornfully, and refuse to go with me to our home? Are you offunded that I did not return at the usual .hour- this eveningl9 'Oh, no, no!' exclahned his wife; and 'the tale she hid heai4 was about to be pouied forth unreservedly, when the re nembrance of her promise checked her. -f\vHdited for her to proceed, btt, h ding she did not go on,bc resumed: 'I am utterly at a loss to imagine the mnaning of this. I cannot believe, Ag ne.s, that you have listened to any slanderops reports conceruing me; I have more confidence in my wife's .f f1ocipntllan to cherish stich an idea for a moment. Rtut what have I done to ofl.-nd you that you treat me with such bildness and contempt? If you will tell me, I may be able to explain it sat isfactorily.' 'No, no. you cannot,' sbbei Agnes. 'I will never have confidence in your wordl again.' 'Nev'er have confidence in my w-a ngain!' he repeated, with a start .n ishmenit. 'In what way has your trust been shake~n? In what particular have I1deceived your?' 'In all,, in everything,' answecred the wvretched girn. 'Ask your own heart, and find the answer there. .On what poit avA ypu not duped and blinded 'me?. Whien have I not been decived?' Sniurise had now' given place to in ignation intebreast of' Harry Mon teith. His eagle eye flashed fiercely, his brow fltushed, and, removing a step from her, he said 'Thank ypu for your freedom and camldor,pnadam; you have indeed un folded .a. new leaf in my character; a long chapter headed deceit' is spread out on it,.and the perusal may be great ly to. y'pur advantage. Will you re main 'he~?. I would advise you to do so; and, as you scem disposed to such a crosa,. I wish-you good evening?' He wsgone .hofore she had time to recall huand she ,heard thme street d Or slam violently.

She grew calmer at last, .however, and had just arisen for the phrposo of returning to her home, whac. \Mr. John Russell entered.

In passing his store to-day I saw-him httending-Lis old flame Julia .Ethridgewith theimost tender sentimental ir. imagibable. She was actually in teais, and- I saw - him take her hand!' 'Hush, hush!' whispered his wife; 'Agnes is fainting.) The poor girl had really swooned in. her chair, and she lay so long insensible that Mrs. Russell became Alarihecdl They put her to bed, and- a physician was called in-while a messenge.r, was despatched for her hiisbanid. But lie was not at home, nor had he been there RinCe he had left in search of Mrs. Monteith; and their domestics' heard with alarm of his absence and the ill ness of the'r mistress. For four or five days Agnes vas un conscious ofall that j:assed aroubd 'er being in high delirium-niost of the J time raving wildly againit Monteith for having deceived her, then weeping A bitterly at his desertion, and dalling on him to return and forgive her. Oca sionally she would uttr the nanme' of Ju. lia Ethridge with a shudder, then' talk pityingly of her love for 'Ia-ry, and sometimes implore her wildly not to leprive'her of his affection, fo sie could not live without it.' ' Though it I ill, day and night, the husband watch I d beside her, rufusing to leave for an lour, and administered all her niedi- I :ines with his own haud. As soon as he had returned to his iome, two hours after his meeting with NIr. Russell, and heard from his ser rtuts of the state in which she lay, lhe iand sought the house, and from that moment had not left it. His indigna ,ion passed away like a cloud when lie saw bar rale and lifeless; and, when lie learned from'her unconscious lips the rLeasous of her inoxplicalle conduct, he reproached himself for his harshncss. and trembled lest she should bccome the victim of such falsehood. 'Ishould have soothed her, and not yielded to my fierce temi-er as I did,' lie woiuld say. 'I thought it strange that she would listen to the tattle of that idle gossip against me, but I for got that Mrs. Russell was her mother's friend, and that her character was un known to her. Poor, dear Agnes! WVhat if she should not recover?' lie shuddered at this Iast tiought ind bent his forehead on her white hand, while the tears ran like rain over his face. he was in a deep slumber; and the phlysicians saidl much depended on her I sitate when she awoke fromn it. It had I lasted a long time, and ever'ybcdy had rieserted the quiet room, save himself. With what breathless anxiety lie wvatchied her! After a long, long'time, shie m'ovedeslowly, passed her hand several times over her f'ace, and sighed heavily. HeI rose and bent over hicr; ihe looked at him eagerly, lifted her irm, and with her soft fingers pushed back the hair from his forehead. 'Iharry,' she said gently, after having ;azedl lovingly at hun foi' awhile, "IJ thoughit they had taken you' from mei. But you are mine--my own-are you riot' 'Yes, sweet wife,' he answered, 'and rho whole world cannot part us from sach other. But you have been ill, md must not speak now; do not even rhink of anything unpleasant.' 'But -1 have had such a dream, liar r*y,' she answvered, shudlderingly; 'it wvould kill me to pass through it all igain. They told mei that you had a :eserted me, and almost caused my' t leathi. They oren said that you could : :ease to love me, and I felt so wretched it the thought.' 'You need not fear it, my beloved A.gnes,' he replied, 'I have never- feltI iffection for another, and will only cease < o love you when my life ends.
