THE HUSBAND OUTWITTED,

TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME.

A week at the watering place, and most of the time each day spent in company of Mr. Manwell, the gentleman Miss Eleworth’s old friend, Ned Whittaker, bad introduced to her one norping on the piazza. She had sailed with him along the shores on the moonlight evenings, and she bad danced with him in the thronged drawing rooms .

Mies Eleworth was not a flirt, who distri- buted her liking among many gentlemen, and she had found her ideal well nigh realized in Mr. Manwell. Only the evening before their talk hed withdrawn iteelf from general topics, which to each other had been congenial, and in her admiration of hie intelligence and | manliness, she had encouraged an approach to that personal part of conversation which relates to fove and matrimony.

And now to find Mr. Manwell, this morn- ing with bis coat off and @ Smith's apron on, engaged in mending & lock. He was doing it publicly. The lock was on the door that led to the middle of the front piazza, where the fashionably dressed ladies and gentlemen were sitting or promenading.

His back was toward her as she approach | ed leaning on the arm of her friend Annie West. She recognized him, looked intently at him, gave her companion over to @ party of young ladies near, and then stopped and spoke to him.

Do you like that sort of work Mr. Man- well ?

Ido, Miss Eleworth. natural mechanic. : ” It appears odd to see you doing this, =

It is my trade, he repl:ed, rising from his work and turning to her.

Her eheek blanched a little. she said faintly. I

My trade, Miss Eleworth. The proprietor said the lock needed mending, and I told him I could mend it for him.

The party of g ris came along just thea. After wondering at Mr. Manvel! awhie, cmd laughing at him, they proposed a ride. There were three carriages among them all ; these would take the party.

Ned Whittaker here joined them.

What the deuce are you doing here? he exclaimed to Mr. Manweil, he added, as the latter turned round and glanced at him, but while you are bere you might as well enjoy youreelf, Bey

Mr. Manwell excused himee\f from joining the party, and they all went away, leaving him to finish his work.

Mise Elsworth jeft him without a word at parting. :

It is well, he muttered to himeelf. If she cannct take me as I am, she is not worthy of me. The woman that marries me must take me for myself. 5

He stood and looked after her until she had disappeared. She did not once turn to look back.

He gave his shoulder a shrug compressed his tips, uttered a cynical ‘humph,’ and turred to finish his work.

Let it be so, he muttered, when he was

through, and was putting on his coat. [ thought I bad found a woman after my own hesrt. But let it be eo. Amidst this world of wealth and fashion, she, too, has lost her soul. Let Ler go. He avoided ber thereafter. He cid not seek to catch her eye fora bow of recogni- ion When ehe entered the drawing room where he was, he would go out by another way. But he was more than ever iu the company of Ned Whittaker. Ned in passing to and fro between Miss Eleworth and bim served still as a sort of link between them.

You are a eynica! fellow, said Ned one day. Why don t you take people ss they sre? You will find good enough in them.

But they wont take me asi am, that ie the trouble.

Pooh. You see yourself that she allows po other suitors to accompany her. Don't you eee that she ia alone, or with the girls most of the time?

Her heart is full of vanity.

Pshaw ! She is trained to luxurious notions that’s all,

Maoweli's trank was awaiting him on the stage outside the ;iuzza, at the time this con- versation was going on. On the trunk were his initials, ‘G.M.’ Miss Eiseworth passing that way saw the inivials—not by chance, for she bad been very busy scruteuizing the trunks that lay together in a pile—and when she saw the initiale she started and turned pale. She recovered herself, and withdrew with her companions a little way, and then stood and watched. So Manwell came out with Ned onthe piazza. He chanced to turn his eyes toward her, and their eyes met— met for the first time since she had left him while he was at work upon the lock. She did not turn her eyes. She bowed. He ap- proached her and bid ber good bye.

What the conversation was that ensued be- tween the two when they were left alone, by mean’s of Ned’s ingenuity in spiriting away the rest of the company, is unknown, save the fo'lowing :

But I am a locksmith, said Manwell.

No matter. :

Are you willing to live the wife of one who with bis hands earns his daily bread ?

Lam willing to undergo anything to be with you. I have sufiered enough, During these last few days I have learned what it is to “espair of being mated to one I love.

But your mother—your father.

Unless [ am willing to leave them for your sake, I am rot worthy of you.

But the loss of wealth, position, of the sur roundings of refinement ?

Do not say anything more. to leave ail tor your sake. being without you.

Would you be willing to become my wife this day, this hour? Your father and wother might put obstacles in your way.

T am willing this hour—this minute.

They still think you are wealthy — as | did. Come then, we will go on our way with Ned, and become before the world what we now are in spirit — husband and wife; and then at once we will take the cars for the home I have for you—a home, which ,though lowly, you will make happy.

Whither you go [ will go.

They were married in a quiet way in the little watering-place chapel, with the wicked Ned conaiving at the mischief, The next train sped them to the city.

I will show you the shop where I work, sai¢ Manwell, when the curriage which they took at the depot had drawn up before one of a Jongrow of brown stone houses in a splendid part of the city.

Wheat do you mean? she demanded, as eho ‘cnmmannil as husband up the broad steps at the door.

Mean, he replied, this is the home and this is the workshop.

And he led her in, and among other rooms to which he conducted his wife,was one fitted

I believe I am a

Your trade?

Tam willing Tam weary of

accustomed to indulge in his love for mechanical work, siter haviog, be assured her, regularly served hie time at learning s

irs. Manwell stoed and ‘ouked at him in- tently.

Yee, madam.

And you sre not poor bat rich 7

You speak the truth, Mrs. Manwell.

And why did you play the jest apon me? To see whether you really loved me for my own sake.

Ah pretty, indeed! and I suppose you do not love me,

But I do.

Humph!

So there was a little family quarrel on the spot.

ie invite your father and mother to come and see us, said Manwell after the clouds had somewhat cleared away

I will, she replied—I will. But firat you must go with me to seethem and pacify them in view of what we have done.

Very well.

In a few days they started out in the carri- age on the errand. Mre. Manwell gave the direction to the driver,and her busband could not help expressing his wonder at the increas- ing squalor of the neighborhood through which they rode. ‘The carriage drew up before a miserable tenement house, and stop-

Where the deuce are you taking me to? asked Manwell, looking sharply at his wife

Come and eee, she replied as she proceeded to step from the carriage.

Here wait, he exclaimed, after hie first hesitancy, let me go out first and help you out —What does thie mean ?

Follow me, was her reply.

She led him upstairs—up up, through thronge and dirt, aad emelis, to the fourth story Here she opened the door without knocking, und the two entered) The woman was neatiy dressed and so were the children, but they were a!l dressed very poorly, in keeping with the placo The mun was clad carelessly and even poorly. Un his head he kept his hat, which, certainly, was full half a dozen years old.

My husband. Mr Manwell : my father and mother, sisters ani brothers, said Mre. Man- wel!, iatrodacing all parties.

_ Manwell stood stared without speak- ing.

Ask their pardon, George, eaid Mrs. Man. well, for running away with me.

Who are they ?

Have I not told you; didn’t I introduce you.

Who were those at the watering place ?

Some wealthy people who had eeen me at the milliner’s where I sewed for @ livelihood —served my time, George—and fancying my appearance caressed me ap and took me there with them

You jest

Dol? DoTindeed? These people seem to recognize me as a daughter and a sister. Jest, indeed! You will find that ont.

You are too cultivated, too tasteful, too fine featured

All this, said Mre- Manwell,a milliner may be, or @ sewing girl. Look yourself among the class. Is it not true. All that we girls need is dress.

Manwell lifted his fist and dashed it through the air. He ground his teeth, and turning away left the room, slamming the door be- bind bim

His wife took off her hat and cloak, and flung herself down at a table, and bericd her face in her handkerchief.

The door opened and Manwell put in bis hand.

You have Ceceived me, he said, but come, you are my wife, [ will try and bear it.

She sprang to her feet and corfronted him.

Your wife, am I? she exclaimed, and doomed to live with one who does not love her, but was in love with her circumstances ! No, Sir, you may go; I will vot live a wife unloved for myself—you must take me thus, orl wili stay. Still I can work.

He closed the door and retired down stairs to the etreet, clenching his hand and teeth us he went.

The horrible disgrace of it he muitered.— The derision that will bemy lot. And then to marry such a girl,

But at the street door he tarried. He had to straggie with himself alone. Suddenly be tarned and dashed impetaously up the stairs, flung ope» the door of the room, seized his wife in bis arms and clasped ber to his heart,

My wife, be whispered in her ear,sach you are and ever shall be, before God and belore the world

Now I begin to thinkgthat you love me, she said, smiling in his face. You do, do love me? You really chink you de, George?

Ile clasped her more tightly to him.

Come then said she,though of such parents as theee, poor as they are,'1-shouidn’t feel ashamed—yet they are not my parents, but have only played a part in which I have in- structed them Shake hands with them, Goorge, they are worthy people

And be aid shake hands with them, and what is more he helped them.

A merry party was gathered that evening at Manwell’s house @ party consisting of Mr. Manwell and their guests, Mr. and Mrs Elsworth and young lady acquaintances of the watering-place, and Ned Whittaker Ned never was in better spirite, nor, let it be stated, were Mr and Mra. Elsworth, who forgave their daughter without hesitation.

1 say George,said Ned, whispering in Man- ware ear, two can pley at that game, can’t they

Yes, said he, after a few moments of reflec- tion,—and the experience hes taught me a lesson. What fools the pride of wealth wakes of us all.

Ned shragged his shoulders dubiously. ae pe T have learned the lesson, Manweil

ONLY A WOMAN’S HAIR.

Theodore Pownell, Esq., merchant and banker, of the good city of Manhattan, was retiring from business,looking over his papera, and wincing up hie effai:s, preparatory to his leaving his town-house and settling for life, at his pleasint country seat on Ie. iand Sound. ‘ For life,’ he said and his friends said for him. And yet Theodore Pownell, though upright, etrong, and hand- 6 me still, might with prop ety have been called by the “ generation around him, ‘an old wan.’ The soit brown ourls that fringed his lofty brow showed few silvery threads among their luxuriance, it is true.
