A Tele of a SlnsiiieriMlc
A masijiieta .!.' wtmlii nol lv Bjiwll
of an affair if theiv were uol some ht
dierons scenes attached to ii orcon
neeted with it. T..'Ht evi ring, that of
the Musical Nitiety was no t xet iti"ii
to the general inle.r.iid any inmiler
of wry funny int iiloitts transpii-ed.
Nffi'persan failed to notice it very
eoiispicutius cotinne presold, a gentle
iidiii dresstnl as a Spini-h cavalier -a
very ii.-ai and ta ty dress, set off upon
it well-built and aihletie frame. The
gentleman, whom we skill call X..
Iiid particular, indeed, most devoted
attention, to a pink iWutiuo. enshroud
ing -f sylph-like form, acting as her es
cort at all times, and paying no atten
tion, worth noticing, to any one else.
In promenading or in resting they
were in earnest conversation, and the
ladies, who could not fail lo notice
tliem. thought lie must be a duck of a
fellow to iny so much attention, w hile
the gentlemen thought she must be n
divine little angel to listen so devoted
ly to nil his soli things, i'erliaps they
both were Just what they had the cred
it Of being.
The cavalier was a legal gentleman
of our city, and the pink domino was
no matter who just now.
The gentleman is married and has a
small family. He loves his wife. I tit
people do whisper tlmt sometimes he
loves other people's just as much. The
cavalier proposi d sotuetime since to go
to the hall. Gut his wit'e Insisted that
her health was not very good, mid il
tliere wouhi be something of a crowd
present, she would not go to her
masquerades were very niiioiis aliitirs
:it Is'-t. That X. was delighted )it the
deteriiiinatioti, lltere is no doubt, lie
did not siiy so. however, liilt the day
his wile decided not go. he met In
company it young and pretty widow,
and in the heat ot the excitement he
asked her to accompany him to the
masquerade. The widow was posses
sed of a bosom full of fun, and she
consented to go. X. fitted her out
with a co-tome ami a pink domino,
tuid, as everybody saw. who noticed J
it. very pretty and very exiensive.
Now. in concluding lo go. the widow
had .some object in view, evidently for
yesterday, so runs the story. sIk' saw j
X. go away from home. When she 1
sought the presence of hi wife ittitl
loid the whole story and ill conclusion
sue said :
"Now you've heard the whole thing.
That good for nothing hn-hand of
yours litis been paying too many at
tentions to me of laic, and I tin not
like it. If you are a woman of spirit
you will piny a trick on him for this,
and if vou are not why I'll I'll just
ft with him to the masquerade, and
II tlirt with him all tlie evening just
a ha nl as I know how.'"
It is presumed the wife whs not a
woman of spirit, for last evening alroiit
nine o'clock a carriage drove up to the
widow's house, and a S)tiuisli cavalier,
wry gentlemanly, very devotedly,
nnd very love-like, assisted a domino
into it ami it drove to Music Hall.
' At the hall the couple paid little at
tention to the ftinny scenes around
tliem. It liiey laughed at all it wiw
at their own wit. Prying eyes tried
s7'2..
to tint! out ho I hey were. They
sauntered about uutll tired. They
took retrc.shiiictit and occasionally a
glass of wine. They made no attempt
lo peep beneath each other's mnstuti .
for it wit- evident they knew each
other well. At all times the eavalier
cciuod whispering the softest tl.iiig
to the domino, and a close, observer
might have seen that occasionally the
words were very soft, tor they made
the fair domino start and tremble jied
a little, but she mined to have good
control of herself, bnl lltere is no
doubt that could her face have been
seen, there would have been traces of
blushes.
it was not a very late hour when
the cavalier and the domino hud disap
peared from the scene. When the
masques were removed at 12 o'tjock
anxious ones were looking to sec who
the couple were, but they Were gone,
and all were disappointed. Let m
follow them lolhe house of the widow,
where they drove in baste, the cava
lier very happy, very talkative, and
almost Wide himself with joy the
domino very quiet and reserved. They
were shown into the drawing room,
where the domino throws herself Upon
a lounge. The cavalier steps forward
to turn up I he g.i a little, but a pleas
ant voice says :
I will do it for you. Mr. X.,"and
the room is ablaze with light.
The voice was that of the young
widow, and the Maze of the light,
showed the, lawyer leaning upon llw
cliaii, perfectly aghast with astoui-h-Uient,
looking from the widow to the
domino, yet unable lo niter a word.
"Why.' What is the m uter wi'li Mr.
X?" asked the w idow, "you look as
tonished. I expected you and have
been waiting for you some time.
Your wife told me she would come
here."
My wife." gasped the eavalier.
"Yes. your wife. Why, what isthe
matter with you y Are you unwell v"
The cavalier scarce seemed to know
whether lie was unwell or not. lie
turned to the domino. te had remov
ed her niaqne, and he saw his wite
sitting before hhii. His astonishment
Was greater than before. SI ill he could
say nothing. The wife was too indig
nant to sK-ak. The widow came W
the relief of both.
I tell vou what it is. Mr. X." sho
said, -you have one' of the best wo
men in the world for a wife, and you
abuse her worse than any man ! ever
knew. 1 jn.it wish 1 was in her pllieu
for about live minutes."
The cavalier looked as if lie wished
nothing ot the kind. Tlie widow went
on :
"You insulted me in asking me to
go with you. If I had had a big brother
able to whip you las should have done
it, ami If It had not lieeu tliatu woman
cannot tlo those things, I would have
Hone it myself. Yimi deserved it any

we determined to punish you. and 1

time. I know by tlie way your oor

The snake, thus foiled, erected its
head and struck a beelliie for the
