And by this act of love and mercy, she deprived herself of even the small amount of protection affor- | ed by the law to English wives of the nine- | senth century. 'hey had now three children who made up the sole summertime of her heart. Only those who know what. sunshine the love of -young and innocent children creates in the preciate her love for hers--three bright, noble boys. How she loved then! How. passionately and how tenderly ! Their lisping Kor their sakes she endeavoured to be pa- tient. Her love for them was too strong to be sacrificed even to her outraged woman- hood ; and that she might remain near them, and caress them, and educate them, she bore ber trials now coining fast upon her, with forbearance, if not with silence. But, matters came at last to a climax; though sooner and, on. diferent grounds than might have been expected. She «and her husband parted on a trivia! question of itself, but with grave results: a mere dispute as.to whether the children should accompany their mother on a visit to one of her brothers, who was avowedly (very extraordinary that he should be so, after the married life she had led!) unfriendly to her husband. It was at last decided that they should not, go, and after a bitter struggle. [ar more was in- volved in this question then appears on the 'surface; her right to the inanagement of her sons, even in the most trifling matters, was the real point of contention; the mother was obliged to yield, and she went alone; the children remaining at home with the 'father. 'The day after she left, she received "a message from one of the 'servants that something was wrong at home; for, the children had been taken away, with all their clothes and toys, no one knew where. Ina storm of terror and agony she gave: herself up to the trace, and at last fotind out their hiding place. But without any good result. The woman who had received thein, under the sanction of the father, refused to deliver ; them up to her, and met her prayers and re- monstrances with insults and sarcasins. 'childless, 'to her sister's home in the country ; like a wounded pantier tearing at the lance 'in his. side, a fearful mixture of love and beauty, and rage and despair.* It was well for her that she did return to her sister's house instead of her own home, for, her hus- band, enraged at her persistence in visiting her brother against his consent, ordered the servants to refuse her admittance should she present herself, and "to open the house door only with the chain across it." After balancing between reconciliation and prosecution, a divorce suit was decided on by her husband; expressly undertaken ' because his wife would not return to him." By this suit, he attempted to prove that an | ald friend and patron, to whoin he owed his present position and his former fortune, was the seducer of his wife. But, the case broke down; and the jury, without leaving their box, gave a verdict in favor of the de- fendant: a gentleman of known honor and established reputation. The crowded court rang with cheers, such as it had rarely ech- -oe@d to before, as the verdict was pronounced ; friends in every degree of life, old friends readiness of the world. in general to be kindly honest, and> to-set-right- a proved wrone, could have acted directly upon the aw, or could have. essentially served. her without its aid, she would have had ample 'The feelings may be soothed, but the wionts reiinin. ; -- And now began the most painful part of the sad epic, whose initiatory hymns had glided into a dirge: a dirge for rumed hepes -and wasted youth, for a'heart made desolate, and a home destroyed; » dirge for the of the fond visions of her heart.

After many years of o- paration, the husband applied to his wife | 'for her consent to his raising a loan on this. trust-fund for the improvement of his estate. She promised that consent, if ke, on his part, | would execute a deed of separation, and | the allowance she proposed, 'the agreement | was entered into; and she then gave her; consent that a loan should be raised on the | trust-fund for her husband's sole advantage. She received in exchange a deed drawn up sand signed by a lawyer and her husband, se- father. At the same time a legacy of almost tive hundred a year, carefully secured from her husband by every legal hindrance possi- Die, fell to her also from her mother. When her husband knew of this legacy, he wrote to her, telling her that he would not now continue his former allowance, which had been secured, as she believed, by solemn le- _galagreement. She objected to this novel _manner of benetiting by a legacy; and re- fused to entertain the proposition of a reduc- tion. Her husband quietly told her that , she must either consent to his terms, or re- ceive nothing ; when she. urged the agree- ment, hé answered her with the legal poetic i fietion, " that by law, man and wife were each other" exchanged her power over the trust-fund, was a mere worthless piece of paper. | This shameful breach of contract was fol- lowed by another law suit, where judgement was given in open court to the effect not on- ly that the agreement in her behalf, signed by her husband and a legal "witness, was valueless according to that stanza of the mar- ried idyl which proclaims that man and wife are one--not only that she had no claim on the allowance of five hundred a -year--but that her husband could also seize every far- thing of her earnings, and demand. as. his own the copyrights of her works and the sums paid for them. No deed of separation had been executed between them, and no divorce could be sued for by her. Kor, she had once condoned or pardoned her husband and so had shut herself out from the pro- tection of the laws. ' And all this isin the laws; the laws which throw a woman helplessly on the mercy of her husband, make no ways of escape and build no cities of refuge for her, and. delib- erately justity her being cheated and en- trapped. All these are doings' protected and allowed by our, laws---and men stand by and say, "It is useless to complain. © The laws uiust be obeyed.

The lieu- tenant had with him hisadomestic esiab- lishment, which ineluded his daughier, a playful and interesting little girl of the age of thirteen. One day, while wandering in the jungle, beyond the prescribed' limits of the camp, and. having, from the oppressive heat. loosened her garments, and thrown them oil, almost io nudity, the beauty of her person excited the notice of an ourang- outany, who sprang upon her and carried her off. Fier piercing screams rang through the forest to the ears of her dozing protect- ors, and roused every man in the camp. The swift, bar'e-footed coolies were fore- most in ypursuit; and now, the cry rings in the agonised father's ears that his daughter is devoured by a binatang--again, that an ourapg-outange has carried her off Ile rushes, half-freazied, with the whole com- pany, to the thicket, from whence the screams proceeded, and there, among the topmost limbs of an enormous banyan, the father beholds his daugter, naked, biceding, and struggling in the grasp of a powerful ourang-outang, who held her tightly, yet easily, with one arm, while he sprang lightly from limb to lieb as if wholly univeum- | bered. oh Sendo BA SOS LEI OS It was in vam to think of shooting the monster, so agile was he. 'The Dyak cool- des, knowing the habits of the ourang-outang, and knowing that he will always plunge. into the nearest stream when hard pressed, began a systera of operations to drive him into the water: they set up a great shout, throwing missiles of all kinds, and agitating the underbrush, while some proceeded to uscend. the tree. By the redoubled exer- tions of the whole company, the mens'er was gradually driven towards the water, yet still holding tightly to the poor girl "At lasé the monster and his victioa were seen on, an outstretching limb, overhanging the stream.
