Children were born I iuctkp? oeauutuuy Harmonious eliitilren? born und^r pleasant aunpicc*, and wer models for the world's imitation. Sucl babies vte?e rarely to be seen, and they wcr till I feathers iittbo family cap, and addet great] r'tov the happiness,of the worthy cou pie who boasted of their paternity. IfoUimg like jealousy ever entered tha happy household. Clement regarded hi wife as an angel, and when any visiting Triend would joke with him concerning tin vricktdtttts of the tiflpes, and about standing 8n slippery-places, he would snap his finger Its much ae to say, he didn't care a snap, no he, for the suggestion, feeling so confide:) in lrer integrity. While this feeling .was at its height, i new family moved into the Clement neigh borbood. They were young people, anc genteel, according to the orthodox standinc of gentility. Their name was Seville. Thei had moved into llopetown from abroad and brought- with them letters to the bes families ia the town, Among the rest tlx Clements, who tools an early occasion t< call, upon their new neighbors, and proffei them the Courtesies usually bestowed upot hew comers by old settlers. They founc "the Sevilles very -fine people?the one,) gentlemanly and pleasant man, tho other, i lady of rare beauty and winning address, an< the .visit afforded great satisfaction to th? Clements. It was renewed afterwards, ant h very* agreeable sociality sprang up be ^tween the families, and mutual and frcquen visitations were exchanged. At these visitations, Mrs. Clement notice< how attentive her husband was to Mrs. Se ville, and Clement remarked that his wif< seemed verv hanov at the attentions of Mr Sevijle. Still there was no jealousy min gled with the feeling. "Mrs. Seville 13 a charming woman/ said Clement, as he was proceeding homt with his wife on hiB arm, "a charming wo ui^n." He looked up at fiery A returns as lu spoke, as if he were informing that lumi nary of the fact, and the star seemed tc ? wink at him as he spoke. "Don't you think Mr. Seville a ven splendid man?" asked Mrs.Clement; "sue! a npble bearing, such tenderness of manner, Atfd such wiskers P 6he spoke earnestly, and bore dowr heavily upon Clements arm, looking at a distant gas light, which seemed to glare up on heV^like a burning eye. And thus thej walked home without saying another word It occurred to Tom Clement the next day that his wife was strangely intimate with Seville the night before, and he remem bered her eulogistic remark concerning him with a feeling akin to pain. But he wai sot jealous. The feeling was 6imply 1 dreadt lefcBt she should bo deemed impru ucuu *How strangely infatuated Tbomas ii with Mrs. Seville," said Mrs. Clement to her self the next day, as she sat alone. "Whai attention he pays her. How he looks ovei her chnii, and turns over the leaves of hei music book. It is a year eince he lias been bo attentive to ine." There was a tear in her eye as she eaid or thought this, and sometbin^like a sigh escaped her lips. But ehe was hot jealous. That was an admissior that she would never make to herself. ... . And thus things went on. Weeks pas atid and harmony was uubroken in th< home of the Clements. "Are not Seville's attentions to you rathei annoying?" asked Clement one morning, al breakfast lie asked it carelessly, as though he Wejeindifferent abont it himself, and on jy spoke on ber Account. She colored up very warmly before she replied. "I asked Mrs. Seville the same question concerning ypor attentions to her. I -guess if she can endure her nfflffction I can mine. There was a little mustard in the reply, about as much as is found in a lobster salad, rendering it slightly acrid. Clement was surprised at the reply. He ?he?the model husband, whose irreproachable constancy had long been a subject of admiration?to himself?to be thus assailed, by implication even, was not to be bore without suitable notice. He laid down.bis-kiHfe in order to give due effect to what he was to say, as a. rebuke i>r a moral lesson given with the mouth-full of fbodjbr mastication, losses in its (ffect as food for reflection?a fact duly enforced by a recent decision of lIlA Pal -a. ivr^ltjoolto wlhy. _ r ' Bo you sfty, , jpkne,1 lie severely, "that I pay more* attention to Mrs. Seville tban if."catted fp'r by tlie rules of courtesy ?" .

But this quarrel was more scrioue ff it sprung, not from matters inherent in th o parties, little pettishness or wilfulness tin _ have but a momentary existence, which lik e Cassio's temper emit a hasty spark and the fi are straightway cold again. It had its ris e in extraneous ground, and jealousy, tlx ] snake in the grass, lay coiled at its rou . They were not jealous, however, if one wer to believe them. t Clement was away every night for g week, on business of course, as lie told hi r wife iu the brief conversation that passe g between tliem, and sho expressed no cot r cern about it at all, though when she wr ' alone she cried as if her heart would brea t with her sorrow. She would not let ni [ know she felt so badly for the world, s stubborn is the womanly nature; and h ! though lie felt penitent, would not inak . advances towards a reconciliation, so obst ] nate is the manly nature. As some one In r said, there is a good deal of human nalui in men and women. f Neither had visited the Sevilles all tl 1 while the quarrel had lasted. They hn > thought so much of each other that the 5 bad no loom for any other thought. r "I saw your wife last night, Tom," sai t a neighbor, "eoinming out of Seville's gat | You didn't know his wife had gone out < * town, did you ?" ^ i If he had received a prettv hard knoc 1 on the head, he could not have been nior 5 astonished. But he tried to assume the ol 1 confident tone. "You did, eh ? Well, what of il 1" t "Why. it's well enough, I suppose, sai the tormenter, giving a wink to a bystande J which Clement did not see; "but 1 thougl . it was a queer thing to visit a house, at te ; o'clock at night when the mistress wa . away. She went three days ago." "I'll risk it," said he, would an attemj at a smile that was a positive failure, an ' turned away to conceal his emotion. Ho was as crazy as a spirit-rapper all tli - rest of the day. lie made entries in tli ledger and attempted to strike a balance i i the day-book. He drew up a check paj . able to Swille and put his wife's name to i ) He addressed his partner as Seville, an drew up a promise to pay, payable at "te ; o'clock at night," instead of ninety day i But amidst it all, he came to a great conch t sion, that he would watch his wifv. Wlui a step this was, when distrust resolved to tif i toe it through the dark, and watch tli i movements ut' one his lieart told liitn h< - loved ! Tliougli it has been a madness < - mine that jealousy and love were incompat . ble ; that true love expanded itself irrespe* L live ofils object, and would lead to tsorro 3 and death, but not to hate ; that jealousy . a selfish feeling springing from passion ui , requitted, but passiou is not love, thong ? the dictionary says so. This may be onl i a craze, so let it pass that lie loved her. J was a mean thing to watch her, at any rat lie informed her when he went hom i that business would keep him out, but th - tone of his voice was so different from wli* t it had been when he had previously mad r her the same grave announcement, that sh was struck by it. At that moment, froi i some quarter, a little suspicion dropped int i her mind, just as she dropped a lump of si I gar into her tea, though the suspicion w? L not so sweet, and the figures of Mrs. Sevill ? became revealed to her gaze plainly in ill lump of butter on the table. She had hear that very afternoon that Mr. Seville ha > been called out of town on busness, and Ik little b&d at once assumed it to be cert a i that the treacherous Tom was to spend ill : evening in the society of the lonesome wifi Harrowing reflection?but she said noth bigClement went out, like a lamp filled witl bad oil, and after a little while Mrs.Clemen came down stairs dressed in a perfect dit guise ; she having drawn largely on til .servant's wardrobe, and her mother wonldn' have known her from the Milesian Biddt whose dress she wore. She opened thedoo softly and went out. uThere she is," said Clement, l,I know lie through al! her disguises." lie stood just across tho street, leaning upon a post. Ilis heart beat a quick meas ure against bis ribs, and his knees knocke< logeiuer as ue uiougm ot the perncJy lie wa about to detect. lie moved down the street with Lis eyes upon tlio little tigure flittiti; along before him iu tbe gloom Of night, will which his own glootn was in perfect syinpit thy. She stopped at last, ill's suspicioi was. too true. She entered the g.ite lendinj to the Seville mansion. Jle waited loiij enough to give licr a chance to enter befon he ventured to follow. A bright light burned in a lower corne room, in which room there were two win dows, one looking towards the front of tlx house, and the other towards the end. Hi hesitated a moment, and then, with "Tar quin's ravishing stride.*," he stole into tin gtlftlltfttll"*' Oll/I A *1 , v. ,w,K a I'VOIIIUII UeaiimUM end window.

A sbriel rang out on the night air. ?The door open ed, and Mr. Seville and his wife were reveal ed, by thb light of a lamp, standing on tbt door step. .

Somehow or other her husband's attene tion to Mrs. Seville did not Roem half ec pointed to Mrs. Clement, and the assiduity a of Seville to please his wife did not seem in is any way offensive to Tom Clement. lli? J thoughts were all with his wife, as lu*r'? ? were with him, and they mutually longed is together that they might have the mystery k cleard up. The feeling became insupporta ie ! l?l?3 nt length, nnd bidding good bye, tlicj io i brought all4 tlie hypocrisy nnd lying o p, | dissembled pleasure to a close, and wen1 :e ! home?n home that had hot been a home i- ! for n week, that had seemed as long as foil ?s : common sunless weeks, for the sun of tlieii re ' love was under a cloud. As soon as they arrived , even before slu ic 1 had taken off her disguise,she threw hersel d ' upon his neck and nsked hi* forgiveness. ;y "Forgive me, forgive me!" said she, sob bincr, "you will forgive me?" id Yes, yes," said he, "anything, everything e.
