She Wouldn't be Jealous,
"No, sir ! " exclaimed Harry Vales, as
threw himself back in his easy chair,
and gracefully removed a fragment Ha-
vana from his lips for the purpose of ex-
haling a clud of the perfumed smoke ;
"no, sir," he repeated, "I wouldn't ntar-
ry a jealous woman to she was the rich-
est heiress in the world. I have a natu-
ral taste for variety, do you see; and the
most I want of a wife is to keep house
for, and take of things, and give me a
little leisure to make myself agreeable to
womatiltind in general. When nothing
more agreeable turus up, why, of course,
then you have the priviledge of enter-
taining the wife, and the consolation of
knowing knowing that her husband is
the most accomplished lady killer in
town, will, I take it, be ample compen-
sation for all her services in my behalf.
But you see if she were any way jealous
she might not think so."
"It would be pxossible.l'should think,"
said Walter Everett, " that she might
b3 inclined to disagree with you. I
should think any woman who lov.td you
would uaturelly object to such an ar-
rangement,"
" Oh, pshaw', Everett !" exclaimed
Harry; "that proves you to be a novice.
Don't you know that love in a female
heart is made up of just two element/—
vanity and self-sacrifice I Just give a
woman a husband she is pround of, and
you—or, that is, you might not be able
to—but a than of my accomplishment
ern coax her into anything under the
sun. Wait till 1 marry ! I'll show you
how to manage a wife. 1'11 show you
how to unite all the freedom of a bache
for with all *the privileges of a Bene
diet."
Walter smiled, and puffed away at hi
eirgar in silence.
The two young men were cleres in a
large mercantile establishment in the
city. They occupied apartments in the
same house, and generally on very close
and intimate terms Perhaps it may not
be necessary to inform the reader that
Harry was somewhat of a coxcomb,
though he was no means so immoral
as might be inferred from his own ac-
count of hitnself. This Walter knew,
and lie could therefore listen to hia oc-
casional strains of gasconade with the ut-
most serenity, even though perfectly
aware at the time that the speaker nn-
tertaiued serious ideas of finally bestow-
ing the ineffable honor of his name and
protection upon a certain little cousin of
his own, Mies Susie Stanbtn. That his
confidence went so far as to lead him to
conceal fruni the said young lady the
sentiment au frequently expressed, we
cannot vouch. Indeed, the writer has
the idea that the two frequently' talked
over in private this unfortunate failing
of their mutual friend, and studied fre-
quently to devise some method of reduc-
ing the proportions of Harry's organ of
vanity.
Nothiag very very effectual, however,
was accomplished during the courtship,
and in pr ,cess is time Mr. Harry Vane
entered the state of tnatrim'eiy, tinder
the fall conviction that his loving Susie
possessed not spark of jealousy.
To de her lustier', she was not natural-
ly of a jealous disp•eition,; but inside
her inna'e amiability in that respect, she
Fad a little bit of that shy, womanly
pride, which made her resolve that she
wnuldn t he jeal.'ni. No, indeed, she
would never be vented at as a jealous
wife, neither should Mr. Harry Vane
has the pleasure of inatmutting that he
Oa•na;red his wife, that she was instruct-
ed and trained at hnrne t.• beak conven-
iently in the .other Aire'tio;t, whenever
lie abuse to open the iuvin;'il.le battery

It therefore happened that whenever
at ball or party Mr. Harty Vane made
himself parti:ularly agreeable to any lady,
Mn. Harry Valle also cultivated the'
sante individual. If Mr. Harry Vane
only danced with the young lady, or eS
ported her out to supper, MTS. Harry
Vane contented herself with tn. moat
&miable inquires after the said young',
lady's health, and gracious hopes that
the family at hoopoe were quite well. if
Mr. Vane danced twice or thrice with
the young lady, Mr., Vane straightway
invited her to; call, and intimated that
she should very aeon give herself the
pleasure id visiting the young lady, and
if (matters went still further, and Mr.
indulgedHarry Vane
of s flirtation, Mrs. l
Harry Vane immed-
iately fixed A day, and asked the young
lady to tea.
By this sly way of fighting tire with
fire, she had succeeded in extinguishing
a half dozen glowing penchants in the
bosons of her liege lord ; while, at the
same time, the uniform sweetness and
amiability of her own conduct could not
fail to deepen the admiration and respect
which Harry had possessed for her when
he nnarried her.
So it went on for a year or two, and
Susie found herself • mother. After
that, things seemed to mend a little ; but
baby's charms soon lust their power, and
Susie's trial took another form. Her
loving heart, which was constantly,
thought quietly, watchful of Harry'/
lightest movements, was wounded at its
moat sensitive point. Harry frequently
left home without inviting her to accom-
pany him, or even informing her of his
destination. Much as her anxous fears
were startled by this new shadow upon
her domestic peace, Susie had the dis-
cretion to say nothing, but meanwhile to
double her assiduity in winning him G,
home pleasures. All her efforts, how-
ever availed her little ; at least one even-
ing in the week he continued to spend
away from her. It is possible at this
juncture she may hate been taking her
cousin, Walter, into her confidence
Ono beautiful morning in July Harry
seemed in no hurry to go down town.
He lingered reading his newspaper after
breakfast till nearly nine o'clock, and
then dressing himself carefully in his
handsomest suit, carelessly bade hia wife
goon morning, and strolled leisurely up
the road, instead of going down it, to-
ward his place of business. The quick
perceptions of his wife had noticed a
strange disquietude in his manner all
the morning, and she smiled a quiet
smile to herself, aa she stood before the
mirror in her own room, arraying her-
self in her most becoming walking cos-
tume. For Mrs. Harry Vsne was going
out too.
She fitted a dainty pair of boots to her
pretty feet, and tightened the fastenings
of her sweetest pair of kid gloves, put
on her most bewiching bonnet, and then
took the last glance in the mirror to assure
herself that there wean'( a sweeter or
more captivating littie woman than Mrs
Harry Vane. "Ho has good tante, at
any rate, she soliloquized, and that is one
consolation." But the little half -sigh
which closed the sentence intimated that
it wasn't so very consoling after all.
After her own toilet was completed,
baby was dressed in his richest and moat
spotless robes, and Mary was intrusted
with the precious eharge and hidden to
follow her. Down the road tripped the
little lady, taking the shortest way to the
river side. Here lay the steamer, with
flags flying and whistle blowing, just ready
to convey a party of happy excursionists
down the river. Mrs Harry Vane tripped
lightly over the pier, followed by Mary
and baby, and the next moment the
gallant steamer with its holiday company
was fairly under way. Mrs. Vann walked
leisurely to the fore part of the vessel,
and there apparently very much to her
surprise, discovered Mr. Vane sitting in
most attentive proximity to a handsome
and showy young lady, who was evidently
quite the slave of Mr. Vane's fascina-
tions
"Why, good morning,Harry!"ezclaire-
ed Mrs. Vane, in her sweetest and most
cordial tones ; "this is,•indeed, • delight-
ful surprise. 1 hal not anticipated the
pleasure of your company. After you
left home 1 happened to notice the ad-
vertisement of the excursion, and baby
seemed so ailing lately, that I thought it
might do him good to take an excursion;
an I dressed myself u quickly as possible
and hurried down here."
What would Mr. Harry Vane say in
reply to this most amiable and wife-iike
greeting? Mrs. Vane was not ata loss
however, to fill up the pause whish his
hesitation occasioned.
"This lady is a friend of yours, I pre-
sume introduce me t., her, Harry,"
said she, turning t.. the lady. "Mr.
Vane's circle of friends previous t'. our
marriage was art very extensive, that 1
have not even yet made the sorluaintanee
of all of them. i hope, however, to know
then( all in the course of time, for noth-
ing gives me greater pleasure than to en-
tertain Harry's friends. 1i our name is
-----T 1 didn't roily understand.
"Miss Wentworth," replied the lady,
bowing •tMy.
"Alt ! yes, Fiiie A-ctth+orth," said
M et. Vans, enmplacetrtly. "I d,• not re-
oelleek heating harry speak of you ; hut
it is all the estate : my memory! is very
treseher'^m and :nttarel h. ,rat 'h ► ave
mentioned your trams casually. you
know, a d u times, and still I
sight have Rotten it. But bless ole!
where la the by 1 Mary, cuue hero."
Mary answered the call, and graces
the blue-eyed little wonder in the arms
. f its delighted rnauilna.
"Mamma's precious little darling !
Was it warm 1 so it was. Mamma will
take off i:s hat- - so she sill. There -
does it see its papa ?—there, so it does,
and knows him, too—precious angel.
8... Miss Wentworth, see how well the
little darling knows its father. and he
isn t four months old yet." And Mrr.
Vane danced the chubby, red faced little
thing up and down in Mr. Vane's face,
and asked enthusiastically, "did't Miss
t. entwerth think he was just the im-
age of his 'pa ?' "
There were several of Harry's acquaint-
ances on board, by whole the affair was
thoroughly understood ; and it was not
long until the story passed from lip to
lip, and smiles and titters and jukes at
poor Harry's expense,circulated in every
direction. He excused htmself as speed-
ily as possible from the society of the
ladies, and walked moodily to the other
end of the boat, and there stood con-
templating what he should do to extri-
cate himself from this dialemma.
"What the -dance am I to do 1 he solil-
oquized. "To blow out at her, as I
should like to, would only raise a row
and circulate the story ; and I (ain't rid
of her, for the beat won't put tack, I
suppose, on my account, Gad ! if the
water wasn't so hot, I'd drown myself.
To bring that redfaced little imp with
her, too ! It is a pretty child enough,
though ; of course it couldn't be any
else and be my child ; and she looks
deuced pretty herself, too,to-day. She's
a vast deal prettier than Madge Went-
worth ever was—tae baggage. If I ever
get out of this scrape, catch me risking
my reputation for another bold flirt like
her."
Meanwhile Miss Wentworth, who pm -
sensed a deal of womanly tact in her
way, had overcome in a measure the em-
barrassment
m-barrassment of her first meeting with
Mrs. Vane, and had entered very affably
into conversation with her. This baby,
as if determined to do its part, was aa
sweet -tempered as its mamma, and coo-
ed Aril laughed to the infinate delight of
Miss Wentworth, who was, or pretended'
to be, exceedingly fond of pets. Mrs.
Vane's amiability was perfectly irresis-
tible, and when Mr. Vane returned he
found the two ladies on the best possible
terms. When dinner was announced
Mrs, Van3 called to Mary to take the
baby, and raising, exclaimed, "Mr.
Vane,give your arm to Miss Wentworth"
at the sante time appropriating the other
to her 'Jwn use, "and we will hurry in to
dinner. This stiff breeze give one such
an appetite.
At dinner, Mrs. Vane's first attentions
were given to Miss Wentworth, and the
least failure upon the part of Mr. Vane,
(who, to tell the truth, was a little ab-
sent minded,) to observe the wants of
that young lady, was reprimanded by
Mrs. Vane.
"My dear, Miss Wentworth will take
some more fowl," said Mrs. Vane.
"Harry dear, help Miss Wentworth to
some of these delicious pears. Miss
Wentworth, allow ate to assist you to
spine of this sauce ; I assure you it is de-
licious."
After dinner, the two ladies, w,tb:the
baby, retired to the ladies' cabin, and
Harry enjoyed an hours immunity from
the society of either. He retired aft to
enjoy (?) his Havana. Let us hope that
its fragrance served, in atrl13 measure, to
calm his troubled mind.
It was nearly dark when the excur-
sionists returned, and Harry called a
nab for the ladies, and directed the
driver to his own residence.
"Harry, my dear, how can you be so
impolite 1" said Mrs. Vane. "We Inuit
see Miss Wentworth home first by all
means. She has been complaining of
fatigue for the last two hours, and I must
protest against her being driven a mile
or two out of her way upon my ac-
count.
Harry was obliged to aoquiesrce and
]fan. Van.. had the satisfaction of leav-
ing Miss Wentworth at her own doter,
and bidding her a most affectionate f.tre
well, with the hope that she had enjoy-
ed the 'lav, and would experience no in-
convenience from the fatigue it lied ie-
caaionsd her.
That was the last of Harry Vane's
wanderings The name of Miss Went.
worth was never mentioned in his hoose;
and there was no allusion to his faults,
Bunte had conquered.
She is gray -!haired now. and her fail •
inn strength is supported try the tender-
ness of her grand daughters, and it may
be that to them she sotaetitoos repeats
eke story of the woman who wouldn't be
jealous.
