TAKEN AT HIS WORD.
Nellie Palmer was lying on tlie lounge
in her. pretty bed room .crying arid look
ing very unhappy. -And yet she had
i been married only six months, and to
such a nicer handsome man, as all the
young Jadies declared, that sjirely she
ought to have been happy with htm.
And so she had been, until until,, to
tell the truth Mr, Bob Palmer forget
ting, or seeming to forget, that he was
a married mair, had recently taken to
ntiv taiten to
flfrtinlr with'thns vrv vnuL kdioS.flt
uu iuc mire xiuu purvies mi
eton,
caving hi wife to take care of herself.
Surely it was enough to make any six
months' wife cry, especially one so sen
sitive as Nellie. , '
Not that Mr. Robert Palmer loved
his little wife a bit less than on the day
of bis marriage, neither that Nellie sus
pected him of it, or for a moment doubt
ed his - morals, any more than she did
his constancy. But Mr. Palmer was a
lan, and loved to amuse
himself and to be amused. He liked the
society, of pretty and lively women both
married and single, and, in a word, he
liked to flirt, and faw no harm id it. So
while he hung over the young ladie's
cuairs, laughing and paying compli
ments, or promenading the halls and
piazzas with, the young married ladies,
his wife Woufd. ba looking over a photo
graph album, or converMng , solemnly;
with some old gentleman, or noticing
some shy and awk ward child while pre
tending to be unconscious of her hus
band's proceedings. Not that she was
compelled to employ herself in this dull
way, she, usually so bright, pretty and
agreeable, butshe hod noheart forany
thing else now. Of late all her liveli
ness tnd chattiness had left her, and
she answere3'abTebUyand Bmiled list
lessly, and if compelled to dance or sing
did so out of time , and out of tune, to
her husband's great vexation. It is thus
that many a young wife settles down in
to a" dull and faded old woman, while her
husband grows handsomer and stronger
and wonders what on earth could have
so changed her. -
Hullo ! been crying again, I declare,'
exclaimed Mr. Bob Palmer, suddenly
ceasing his little whistle, as he entered
the room, on returning from his office.
What b the trouble.now iNeilie i uanary

. 'Oh , Bob.how can you V sobbed poor
Nellie beginning afresh. ,
'Look here, Ellen,' said her husband
sitting'-down on the lounge, and speakr
iog moVe seriously;. 'I don't like this at
all. I neyer come home that your eyes
are not red and swollen with crying .
What hayeyou(to-cry about? I should
like to know. D is an insult to me, to
go sniveling aboujt the house "after this
fashion, and moping away in corners,
looking ullen and miserable,- as you
did last night, at Mrs. Macklins. Why
people will think me a perfect domestic
tyrant.

You make me so Bob.
''I? Well that's rich ! Perhaps youll
be good enough to let me know of what
enormity I have been guilty, that has
turned you into a modern Niobe ?'
'Nothing really wrong dear, but oh !
if you knew how much a wife thinks of
her husband's love and' bere poor Nel
lie broke down again .
Mr. Palmer's eyes opened very wide.
'Whew!' whistled he, 'if this isn't
really absurd. So she'a jeait
Indeed no, dear . Bob; but but
she could hardly speak for the choking
in, he? throat 'you cannot understand
the pridei woman takes in having her
husband treat her with affection and re
spect before every one, or how it hum
bles and mortifies her to be neglected
by him, and have other women consid
er themselves her rivals, like Isabel
Vaden.' ; , V-
Mr. Bob Palmer laughed outright,
and then he grw angry.
You are an absurd little fool, Nell
he said. 4 As if Isabel Vaden were any
thing to me beyond a lively and agree
able young woman to amuse one's i self
with at a party. Nonsense !
She don't think so,' said Nellie,and
the others don't think sdf They all think
jou are getting tired of your wife, and
Isabel flatters herself, that she has cut
hie but,- and is trying to let people see
it.--': ' i
Fiddlesticks!' said Bob rising impa
tiently from the lounge. 'I am aston
ished at you, Nellie, and had "really
given you credit for more sense, as well
as temper,' he added more severely. 'I
wish you'd amuse yourself in society as
Ido,instead of going moping about in
this fashion. You cannot eipCct to have
me tied to your apron strings; and I
would much rather see you flirting a
little yourself than skulking away in
holes and corners, like a spider watch
ing your butterfly of a husband, to see
" J
lf u cannot detect him m wrongdoing
clare.'
Mr. Palmer took his hat and walked
out of the room with an air of minrled
dignity and injured innocence, nis wif(
sat up, wiped away her tears, and chee
flushed with -wounded and indignwit
feelings.
'Yes, she said to herself,- 'slnc he
has requested " it, I will am usef myself
as he does,' and see how he likes itl
Ashamed of me, is he ? And he did ot
use to be so w,en I was gay and happy.
Oh, Bob, if you only knew how I lov
ed.' A&d once more, despite her, reso
lutely closing her eyes and pressing her
fingers Upon them, the hot tears would
come. ; . ' . '
There was to be Jbat very evening, a
party at Col. Johnston's, and Nellie
took particular pains in dressing, herself
for it. She had been of late rather care
less on this point, and was.n5w rsward
ed for her extra care by her husband's
glance of approval, and his remark was
that that piuk silk was very becoming
to her.' In consequence her eyes and
cheecks were blighter,' and her spirits
more buoy ant, as she entered Mrs. John
ston's drawing rooms.. .
Scarcely had they paid their respects
to tfie hostess, wheu(Mr. Palmer accost
ed, or rather was accosted by Miss Va
den, a brilliant, confident girl, who tried
to ensnare him before his marriage,and
at the same time a gentleman addressed
Mrs. Palmer. She answered mechanical
ly, .unable to withdraw her attention
entirely from, her husband and his com
panion, until seeing something in Miss
Vaden's glance at herself which she did
not like, her pride again awokjftjand she
turned, as with a sudden determination
to the gentleman at her side, v He was
accent comer to town, very pleasant,
and handsome, and Nellie Palmer forth-
with began to try to make herself agree
able to Mm, he looked so pleased, and
was himself so agreeable that it soon
cost her no effort to converse; and then
her old lively spirits returned.and to her
own surprise she found that she was en
joying herself. J
lltr husband did'nt much notice this
but Miss Vaden did; and her flirtations
with Mr.Palmer lost much of its charm
now that the wife did not, appear mor
tified and jealous, and that people could
not see that she was so. Wherefore,
Miss Vaden grew indifferent, and Mr.
Palmer bethought himself to look after
bis. wife. Not finding her looking over
photograph albums, nor talking to deaf
old 'Mr. Brown, neither iu any of the
holes And corners which she. was wont
of late, to frequent; bHbecame rather
puzzled. v yj"y--

as he stood whispering loft nothings to
sentimental Kate Marsfnll, his ejesoc

pretty she as looking and how gay
she, was; and how coquetishly she was
exchanging light regartee with that flirt
ing fellow, Tom Harrison. And all the
while the handsome stranger never, left
her; side. Tt was perfectly evident that
he admired her. 'If s tie" was not a mar
ried woman he would (certainly fall in

he felt a little resentful of the admira

Nellie Palmer had ilever sung more

upon this evening. 'I . . J

'And behaved like one, 'he said rath-

been in attendance upon you all tho
evening;?' he inquired, as she walked
toward the dressing room.
'That remarkably - handsome man,
with the expressive dark eyes, do you
mean ?' '
I never noticed his eyes, or that he
was at all handshme,' he answered stiffly-
' v
'Oh, I thought you; meant Captain
Lovell, of the Fourth Artillery. Ah !
here he is just one moment, dear I
quite forgot" And Nellie spoke a few
words to the captain in passing.of which
her! husband could distinguish only
something about 'that book.'
Upon my word,' he said sarcastical
ly, f'you appear very intimate already.'
Because, love, we have discovered
that we're congenial spirits. - We like
the same things: boos, music, scenery
indeed everything, and have the same
opinions on most subjects. You know
how pleasant it is.to'meet with one who
can comprehend you, not your other
self merely, but with a sort of soul sym

When Robert Palmer came home
next day, be found his wife.not crying
in her Ded room, bnt in the parlorprac
tising a new song.
? Captain Lovoll called 'this morning,
she said and I have promised to sing
this for him at Mrs. Campbell's;'
'Ahl'he answered with an expres
sion of indifference; and as his wife again
struck up with the first few notes, he
muttered to himself, 'confound Captain
Lovell 1'
At Mrs, Campbell's Captain Lovell
was again in attendance upon pretty
Mrs. Palmer; and then other gentlemen
discovered her attractions.her pipquan
cy, and coquetishness, and flirtablenssa
and so in a very few weeks, Mrs. Palmer
was a belle. She didn't seem in the least
to care who her husband was attending
upon, and indeed he could rarely get a
word with her at all, when at the gay
assemblies which they constantly fre
quented. He sometimes gave her a hint
that she was no longer a girl, and tiia t

and that she was enjoying herself so de-
lightfully, and felt herself more a belle
than ever when k girlj which was true,
bccause$she had not flirted then, being

retorted severely.

him steadily in the face with bright

read great tenderness; and he at once

she at him, and then he rose and took a

it into her head to go down on Long

be a young swain who had seen Kate on
a previous occasion, and seeing, fell
deeply in love wiith her. He called at

and she met him on the piazza where

the best they could to relieve the. mon
otonv. After waitioir about fifteen
minutes for him to commence to make
himself agreeable, he again broke the
spell by
-"How's your father ?' which was an
swered much in the same manner as the
first. one, and then followed another si
lence like the other.
, How's your father and mother?"
again put iu the bashful lover.
"Quite well, both of them." This
was followed by an exchaogejrf glances
and suppressed smile.
. This lasted some ten minutes more,
during which, Josh was fidgeting iu bis
seat stroking his Sunday hat. But at
1 .
length another question came---
"How's your parents?"
This produced art explosion that made
the woods ring. V

Tiir First VVedwo. We lie tht
short courtships, and in this AdanxaeU
ed liko a sensible man fell asleep a
bachelor, and awoke to find himself a
married man. He appears to have pop
ped the question almost immediately af
ter meeting Miss Eve. and she without
flirtation or shyness, gave ' bun a kiss 1
and herself. . Of that first' kits in the
world we have had our thoughts how
ever, and sometimes in a poetical mood
wished we were the man that did it.
But the deed is done, the chanoe' was
Adam's, and he improved it. We like
the notion of getting married in a gar
den. Adam's was private. No fcnti
pus aunts and grunting grandmothers.
The birds of the heavens were the min
strels, and the glad sky flung its light
on the scene.' One thing about the firnt
wedding brings queer things toj io'Y
spite of its scriptural truth." Adam and
his Wife were rather young 16 marry I
