THE TEA-TABLE.
"Well, sir, I cm tiki care of my
keif," laid Julia Pcllew lober huibaod
as they were tallog their tea together
la their little parlour, one delightful
summer afternoon. Just at that mo
tneut, and while "the words were jrei
00 her tongue, the door opened, and
Win Polly Caw entered the rom,oa
one of her flyioj afternoon visits.
Julia could not avoid coloring up a
little at this auddeo intrusion 1 lor this
young lady a visits were aUaya intru
. aive, and M'ua Caw evidently aaw or
suspected she bad dropped in at a mo
Bicnt when her company was not the
most desirable. However, aho got
- herself aeated, and entertained her
good neighbor with a long history of
the borne conccroa of every family to
the neighborhood, about three hours
long. There was a minute and detailed
- accuunt-of JVIr J)U party, with a list
of all who were not invited, among
whom she was most careful to remind
that she, Julia, was onc the domes
tic squabbles of her acquaintances!
the scandals of the week ; the motions
of the old widower who lived on the
Appleby farm, betokening an ap--rtttehatg
junioB with the aquira'a
daughter, and who were jealous there
at 1 and a hundred other topics, equal
ly interesting aod profitable, were all
apread hut on the carpet. -.
Mr." Pcllew had made-his - escape
from the tabic, and Miss Polly did d
fail to comment largely on the savage
' uTtmcUbility "f husbands, insisting
that they were as restless and unhap
py in the marriage noose as caged up
tygers, od instancing how gay, and
.. yuntj, aod spruce, they immediately
become, on Wing their iv ai kindly

JVlr. Pellcw would, in ten days, be the
most gallant and agreeable man in the
village.'. After enjoying herself, and
entertaining Julia thus delightfully un
til it began to grow lte, she gathered
up her knitting, and a-llied on to make
a call or two more before she went
"home.
Mr. and Mrs. Pellew were young
had been married but about a year,
and Were roucually as happy in theii
union as love, virtue, and similar taste
and dispositions could rn-.ke them.
He waa engaged in a business, which
' industry and good management, yield
' ed him a god living: he had embark
ed in it. however, wuhout capital 0
his own ; but Julia had a considerable
amount of property, which, though the
' principal was not under her control,

Thf visit of their friend, Miss Polly,
was forgotten in a day or f two but
, things began, be lore long, to wear ra
ther a strati gs aspect. ; Time after

With sundry hints aoout the sovereign
rights of the sex, and the best method
of managing unruly husbindswith
now and then kind of blf expressed
sympathetic pityt for her. She could
not; for her life understand what all
tins Heatl anI attributed it f tvery
tue but the rlr,ht one.
Nor was Mr. Pcllew to escape Urn
new and to him unaccountable lhange
of the current of feeling among h
neighUrs towards them. The first
symptom he saw was a colJoesi and
shyness oa the part of his wife's rela
lives 1 some of them even refusing to
speak to him. The female part of his
acquaintance sco'.ded at him j and what
was worse, he thought his customers
began to neglect him. Day by day

he wondered and waited for the iisuej
it came la half a dozen prosecutions,
iudrmcnta and executions. '
It wit now time to rouse op. , At
these things were la progress, he ap
peared to be to utter surprise, sua to
view them with perfect iacrcdulity,
not being willio? to believe, scarcely,
the evidence of his senses. itosrTne
demanded the cause of this strange
treatment! and with aorae difficulty
ascertained that it arose from the srp-
s ration about to take place between
bim and his wife ! and the cruel man
nerin which he had used her! He
demanded the author of the story, and
was referred to an old gentleman who
had told hia informer t the old man
gave his wife 1 his wife her neighbors
wife 1 and the tale might be traced
down, through about five and twenty
mouths, growing rather less at every
step, uotil it came to Miss Polly Gawi
he had affirmed that she overheard
Mr. Pellew and his wife engaged in a
terrible quarrel, and even heard a dis
tioct affirmation on her part that she
would leave him.
Mr. Pcllew now hit upon an expe
dient to bring matters to a close at
once. He invited all auch of his, and
his wife's relatives, his neighbors, bis
creditors, &c. ss were within his
reach, to meet at hia house, on bust
neaa of the utmost importance. About
twenty assembled, among them Miss
flaw, and half a dozen, or more, of the
principal mouth-pieces in the village,
lie then stated to them his business j
recounted the stories he had heard 1

Cornered up so unexpectedly and sud
denly, she candidly confessed that the
only foundation for what she had said
waa, that 00 the afternoon she had paid
the first visit mentioned, she had heard,
s she entered, Mrs. Pcllew say,
" Well, air. I can take carr of myself."
And she wished to know if Julia Pel-
lew would deny this. Julis replied
ahe would not she had barbacued a

glad the truth had come out, it was
