When in my comfortable, quiet, yet beanti¬ ful home ou the Susquebana, I read "liy NoTtil," I camo upon this passage: " In the Gothic age grim Humor painted ' the Dance of Death;' in our polished centu¬ ry some aardonio wit should give us tho 'Masquerade of Hale.'" There, surrounded with comfort, luxury and beauty; with that feeling of security which one's home giv*-3, all about me; the bad passions had reiired iuto the back ground of my imagination and lived there, shadows without form or reality ; and I thought, as I read this passage, how over-atrained, unreal and melo-dramatio it was, Yet I could not forget itl A Masquerade of Hatel Evwry- thidg about me snggested peace. The river, broad, beneficent and tranquil, flowed ever onward for good. The trees, the flowers, the aky ; all was handiwork of Love ; yet I read again the words of the great master of English romance, and an inward voice told me that I ahould one day recognise a troth in them. The fine passage follows: "Love ia rarely a hypocrite. But Hate—how detact, how guard against itl It lurks where you least auepect it; it is created by causes that you cau the least foresee; and civilization multiplies its varieties, while it favors its disguise ; for ci¬ vilization increases tho numberof contending interssts, and refinement renders more sus¬ ceptible to the least irritation the cuticle of self-love. Bat hate comes covertly forth from some self-interest we have crosssed, or some self-love we have wounded; and, dullards that we are, how seldom we are aware ofour offence 1 You may be hated by a man you have uever sean in your life; you may ba hated as often by oue whom you have loaded with benefits; you may ao walk as not to tread on a worm; but you must sit fast in yonr easy-chair until yon are carried out to your bier, if yoa would bo sure not to tread on some snake of a foe." Hate! a word I had almost forgotten. My own past, how secure it had been from the ugly monster thus startliugly summoned be¬ fore me by the wand of the enchanter I I remembered how guarded my youth had been, the child of prosperity, the early loved. I had known no sorrow, scarcely disappoint¬ ment, until a great grief oame and shrouded me aa with a veil from any other experience for I was now thirty, and had been ten yeara a widow. The few years of society and the gay world which came between my school days and early marriage were so bright, so full of plea¬ sure, that I looked back upon "society" as a land full of beauteous images, fair women, great men, eensible, brilliant, witty conversa¬ tion, music, dancing, all that can charm the imagination and the sensea, a refined luxury giving richness to the pictures, an early love lending it romance and poetry. When tbe chief figure was stricken oat of thia picture, I never wished to look upou it again. I knew that in looking upon the hril¬ liant Burface I should see only that void.— So I had lived a quite, retired life, surround¬ ed only by the nearest and dearest friends, until grief had become melancholy, and final¬ ly, perhaps, only aomething less than that; bnt the world I had forgotteu. Was then thia brilliant pageant, called so¬ ciety, bnt a masquerade? Were men and women bowing, smiling, caressing and enter¬ taining each other but to forward their own ends; to advance their own interests? Was there a akeleton at every feast?—and hidden hy a mask of polite and elegaut demeanor, did jealonsly, distrust, scandal, detraction walk among the guests? Hate! a potent word ; it colored the land¬ scape, it darkened the snn, it gave tothe soft aummer breeze a harsh and severe sound. I felt as if a disagreeable presence had stolen int'j my life and shut out the tranquillity and happiness; when there appeared walking on the greensward beneath my window, Sister Rose. Ko disagreeablw preience wai sister Rosa. SliL' banished hute and broight back light to the Bun, music to the breeze. Siater Rose was seventeen ; sweet, beantiful, and colored like the rival flowera of York and Lancaiter; ahe was the youngest, fairest bud on our an¬ cestral tree ; aud though thirteen years ae¬ parated her from me, we were sisters in the fondest, truest sense, in mutual confidence and love, daahud with a sort of maternal au¬ thority ou my part, a sort of deferential daugbterbood on hera. She waa all the world to me, dear aister Rose! Mrs. Gfbson walked by sister Rose on the green, Mrs. Gibson was a gay lady, who had come to pay us a visit. As they walked, their conversation floated up to me through the still June air. "And Newport Is BO delightfal?" aaked sister Rose. " Oh! perfeclly delightful. The olimate of Italy and the best people in the United States. Such a charming set of people in the cottages, yes, and palaces too! Such gay icenes at the Bellevue, the Fillmore; the Ocean is a little fast, perhaps, but very nice people thero, too. Such drives! auch bath¬ ing, such dressing, such a dear old pioture- aque town I Oh! there is nothing like New¬ port—nothing I nothing t" "Ishouldao like to go!" aaid Rose. 'JAudwhynot? Make Mra. Clifton take you. Plenty of money, youth, beauty, good fanuly; you should go! Come to Phihidel¬ phia with me, and wa ahaU get a beautiful wardrobe prepared, and—nous verrons.'" "Bat I do not believe Bister Laura would liko to leare her retirement; she haa been quiet 60 longl" "But she mtiat not bo quiet; ahe is shut- tiug yoa out from that world to whioh you belong. In tho name of that wrong and were screwed into unimaginable torment by our maid Matilde. In this state I ate my firat dinner and took a survey. Fortunately our dreases (thanks to Mra. Gibson, who had taken a contract to dress u9 aa if we were two French dolls, aud had fulfilled it to admiration,) were very band¬ aome. We were spared the humiliation of finding ourselves badly dressed at Newport, perhaps one of the greatest of the petites miseres of life I We had good rooms; we wero introduced right and left; we had tho golden key which unlocks exclusive Faahion's innermost wicket-door—we had money I Another advantage we had, we were now. A aomething to do is the great want of the Newport habitues, and a aomething to talk about, the absolute necessity. For a few days we fumished them ocoupation ; at the end of tbree, Mrs. Faston, who sat oppoaite ua at uble, knew all about us; that we had had a distant relative in the Cabinet of one of the Presidents; that we had so much (and no more) money; what tbe family politics were; what religion we professed; and Mra, Paston aought our acquaintance, and we entered on the Newport course with heavy bets on our auccess. Shadow of Sutherland I did you rise before me to suggest that equine simile ? Well, to return to my firat dinner; next me sat Mr. Gibson, & man whose vision, thongh straight enongh as to the physical eye, waa singnlarly oblique when contem¬ plated with that second set of optics which we all possess, and which looka beyond and behind the other. To have contemplated Mr. Gibson with this second pair of eyes, (which never grow feeble with years, and only need spectacles in extreme yontb,) one would hava aeen that he was afllicted witli a sort of moral atrabiamua, and that somo things were lamentably confused to him, while othera wera pecuUariy adapted to his angle of vision; for instance, Mr. Gibson never failed to see what he defined as a " person of consequence," and waa as blind aaBelisariua toapersonof "noconsequence." Perhaps, however, he waa as good a cicerone at Newport as I could have had, though for "guide, philosopher and friend," inany other sphere, I ahould not have chosen him. " Who is that young man who looks so much like a horse ?" I a«ked of Mr. Gibson. "My dear Mrs. Clifton, how can you say anch things ? That is Mr. Sutherland, a young man of tho greatest consequence 1 He is very rich, very aristocratic, a little given to gaming, aud they say, rather, too fond of horse-raciug,and suoh little expensive amuse¬ ments ; however, if he doesn't injure hia fortane, no matter ; he will soon bavo sown his wild oats." "He looks to me as if he wero in the habit of eating them." ¦'Hel he!" aald Mr. Gibson, who never laughed sincerely at any joke at an aristocrat. "And who ia that little woman who looka ao much like a poodle-dog?" " Now, Mrs, Clifton, yoa are too bad I That is Mrs. Smithson, the most exclusive woman here. Allow me to say, that if Mra. Smithson and Mrs. Paaton aak to be introduced to you, your fortune la made I I mean at Newport 1" I muat confess I was a little angry at the imagined condescension of theso ladies ; but I knew Mr. Gibson, and I forgave him, for I remembered hii strabismus. " Who is the lovely woman with roses in her hair, who is taking such care of the stupid little man by her side ?" " Ah I that is Mrs. Morris Borrowe, the beauty, the petted of fortune, so amiable, so careful too I Never hear anything against Mrs. Morris Borrowe! And the little man, twice her age, is Mr. Morris Borrowe, married by au ambitious mother; every one said too bad; but immensely rich. She really aeema to like him though ; perhaps wary and deep —don't know ; theae innocent looking onea are the ones aometimes, Mrs. Clifton, he I he I" If Mrs. Morris Borrowe was a " deep one " she was very deep, for innocence and truth sat enthroned on ber face, and kindness beamed ^om her whole demeanor. "Who is that fine intellectual man down the table ?" " Ah 1 Warden Wood, vory distinguished, but not a marrying man," " And the blink-eyed youth ?" " Mrs. Paaton's aou ; very good dancer.*' "And the nice-looking party beyond. I mean the father and daughter?'* "Don't KKow TUBM," answered Mr, Gibson with withering ennnciation. I wonder if any description of type can give the force of this remark which Mr. Gibson gave. It was as if the destroying angel said to shivering wretches on the brink of the gulf: " Go down, and never hope to rise I Twice wretched wretches,.go down I down.' down I" There is nothing in Milton more terrific than thia sentence, pronounced by your true worldling. It says unimaginable things, and little as I knew of the world, I felt a solemn conviction that that father and those daugh¬ ters were driven out of the inner world of fashion aa utterly as was Lucifer ejacted from Paradise. SisterRoae had a distinguished success the firat dinner, for Mr. Sutherland, who sat oppo¬ site, began to stare at her. Poor Roae, look¬ ing upunconsciouflly, saw his eyea fixed upon her, and looking down, blushed over face, neck and arms. Sutherland was not accua¬ tomed to that sort of thing; the coy maidens At whom he generally stared were past blush¬ ing, aud he doubtless had a sensation very like that which a thirsty traveller experiences when he fiudH a fresh strawberry hy the side of a dusty road—he intended from that mo¬ ment to refresh himself withthe nnaxpected fruit. Mr. Gibson found it out immediately.—¦ "See," he exclaimed, " Sutherland ia staring at Roae I That is an immense compliment." " An immense insuU," eaid 1, taking fire at oncQ. " Now, Mrs. Clifton, be quiet; my good friend, you do not know this world as I do. Why, men will look at handsome girla, and Sutherland is a little spoiled ; bnt a man of such position I Do listen to reaaon, and be yuiei. If yon want to have Rose see aociety you must not quarrel with it at onoe becauae aome of its xnodem innovations do not square with your very retired and pecnliar notions." " Bat, Mr. Gibson, my ' retired notions,' aa you please to call them, have been considered the rules of gentlemanly conduct sinoe tha world was yoang. Why, what did chivalry mean 7 what does poetry, romance, mean f what does civilization mean, if not, thatman being atrong ahaU protect, yes, graciously and respectfully protect, woman, and not inault her—stare '' " You talk very well, dear Mrs. Clifton, I dou't doabt, uncommonly weU; bat it has no aort of effect at Newport—not th« leaat, noi the least! ^ Tou might talk forever abont chivalry, but I rather think nobody, at least not the young men, would know what you meant; and if they did they would not care, no, not they.

We drovo aeveral milea in silence. Mra. Borrowe at length broke it: I asked Mrs. Paston who waa the fine- looking woman in bine whom I saw iu the parlor. "Oh! that ia Mrs. Akerly, an old friend of mine, but we do not apeak now for we are at the rival-bouaes." The tyranny of ideas is a power whioh knows no limits. It made Martin Luther fling his inkstand at tho gentlemau in black; it sent Napoleon to St. Helena ; i» is the forca which drives men to the Crimea to starve and die; aud it descends so low that it even makes the women hate each other; because they charge themselves with the honor of two rival taverns, Siater Rose had a auccess; Sutherland ad¬ mired her ; other youug men followed ; ahe danced perpelnally, had fiowers, and all the insignia of bellehood. She enjoyed it; it was her right; 1 could but admire the wo¬ man's inatinot which taught har ao readily what to do with all her newly-acquired bon¬ ora. She was gay, but reserved with Suther¬ land, whose character she read at a glanoe ; ¦he was amused with the satirical Warden Wood ; she liked (I feared too much) Traoy, a well appointed youth, who foUowed her much ; bnt she bore her blushing honor well, I had never been beautiful like Rose, and I enjoyed the sweet power it gave her, for her sake and my own. All was going on well. I was bathing, talking, amusing myself with the new reve¬ lations which society was teaching me ; and although my high ideal of the converaatiou and elevation of that aeot began to give way to a reality aomewhat low, I enjoyed myaelf. There is a fascination in a gay pageant, whether you find meaning in it or not. One profound diacov«ry I had made, which waa tbis: if you wonld succeed iu society, you must at least pretend to be a fool 1 There waa Mrs. Morria Borrowe, whom I had got to know, and who frequently took me to drive. She was charmingly natural, bright, and even witty whan we were alone, having a remarkable insight iuto character; but when we returuod to the circle^of our hotel, ahe bacame almost stupid; a well-bred languor overspread her features. She said nothing but common-places ; no emotion be¬ trayed itself on her trained foaturea. O shadow of Maintouou, of Pompadour, of Espimasse, of Reoamier ! was this your idea of being ftharmiug ? Wa wear your dreases, we copy your graces ; why cannot we follow your sprightly foot-steps still further, and dare to be witty and wiae as yon were at yonr dear little suppers ? Is it because there are fools in high places, and we muat follow tho fashion, as we do^of an ugly collar, (because a duchess has a king'a evil,) and bo fool:^ if ws can—if not, play that we are I One of the wita of Newport waa Mr. Sem- ple. He waa very well born and bred, and it was considered proper to laogh at bis jokea. He, it aeems, had taken ont a license to be funny ; aud all other wit was contraband ; he might be laughed at. "Mrs. Clifton," he drawled one evening, *'do you kuow that to-day I have made an atrocious pun ? I said that the names of the houaea should be ipUt, oura ahould be called the •Fill-belle/ and that the ' Yue-More,* from the namei of FiUmore and Bellevue.— We are filled loith belles, and they oould view more without hurting them I" A silvery laugh echoed through the rooms. We all dared to be amused, and this gigantic achievement of wit passed iuto one of tbo legends of Newport intellectuality. Onr of the ladiea of Newport had, as I had always supposed, a very enviable reputation for her wit, learning and cleverness ; but I found this was a positive disadvantage to her; for ou asking Mr. Semple abont hor, he seemed rather disgusted,and anawered me: " Very good honae, nice position, rioh, but too chatty ; oh I decidedly too chatty I" The aacond week of our stay still found Roae the reigning belle of the hoase. Nei¬ ther Miss Chase wbo sang, nor Miss Brown who played, nor Miss Robinson, whoso mam¬ ma mancBuvred, had anything to compare with Bose in point of succeia- And then camo the unmasking! I went to dresa one day for dinner, quite late, and ha I not time to read a dirty note which I found on my table, and which I sup¬ posed was some begging letter: and seeing it lie there still unread, as I wat goiug to take my afternoon drive with Mra. Borrowe, I put it hastily in my pocket to read on the way. The afternoon waa beautiful, aud as Mrs, Borrowe looked out on the sea, she quoted Horace Smith's fine lines : " To that cathedral, bunodleas rr our wonder. Where ehlnicg lampi the irnvaod moon bopply; Ils choir, the wlnda and wavea; Um organ, thnnder; Its dome, theskT'." this letter." has sant her, etc, etc, eto.

Rose was not in my own room nor hers ; and Matilde, my maid, said she had come iu very huriedly, taken a ahawl and gone out again. I waited an hour very uneasily. Then I went out to see Mrs. Gibson agaiu. She knew nothing of her I aaid she walked ofi" talking with Sutherland and some young ladies after the drive. At this moment one of the young ladies came in, and said she had returned with Rose and Sutherland just before I drove up, and thought Rose mnat be In her own room, dressing for the hop, I went again : there waa the dress ahe was to wear, but no Rose. I was getting more and more alarmed. I went to Mra. Borrowe. She was fright¬ ened too. Sha asked me if I had perfect confidence in Rose, that ahe could nol be deceiving me. " Perfeot, perfect," " Then, this is a plot to annoy you, like all the rest. Kow, be oalm you must dress and go to the hop to-night, tell everybody that Rose did, not coma because she had a head-ache; bo perfectly cool about it: aud I will look for Roae. She is safe, depend npon it; but, if you wiah to aave her and yourself a terrible soandal, do not ahow that yoa are anxioas about her." There was something so perfectly convin¬ cing in Mrs. Borrowe's manner tbatl sub¬ mitted. Matilde exclaimed at my p,ile cheeka and haggard expression. "If Madame would but colora little. She haa the distinction, the air, the everything, bnt sha has uot tbe complexion. Would Madama be brilliant for the ball, and permit me to color with discretion. " Do what you lika, Matilde." So Matilde prodnced, fromher own maga¬ zines, bottles and boxes, aud proceeded to make me up: a drawing sensation of the akin convinced me tbat a color, " charming, natural," like that which bloomed perpetu¬ ally on the ch.'eks of Matitde, was blushing on my own. My eye-brows, my hair, were also touched with various brushes and other instruments. After receiving .the treatment which ia generally beiitowed ou the " portrait of a lady," instead of the lady herself, I waa pronounced fiuished, and looked at myself. I hardly kuew the enamelled visage which presented itaelf. This, then, waa one dort of " mask," whioh I had not ramembared. It was easier thau I thought, to hide the anxiety which gnawed at my heart. I could better appear unconcerned behind this face. " Come," aaid Mrs. Borrowe, knocking at my door ; " hero ia Warden Wood waiting to escort you. Bless mel how well you look 1 I am on the track," sho wispered ; " be com¬ posed I There is nothing wrong " Mr. Warden Wood was too well bred to notice my abstractions, if indeed I ihowed any ; and I oannot remember much of this evening, except that he and others compli¬ mented me much on my appearance, and that in the many inquiries for Rose, I thonght Mrs. Paston and Mrs, Smithson looked more interesting than the occasion required; and both asked where was Mr. Sutherland. him in returu tbat he should aee Roae in \ work, and, sitting in an easy-chair, looked the parlor of one of them, we ahould never | quietly at the fading sunset, at the slowly descending new moon, and ' Ihe bright stars have knowu how much was mistreaa and bow muoh was maid. Mr. Gibson and I held a final meeting on the snbject of Newport in my parlor just before we came away. Mrs. Pastou waa announced. I sent back her oard. " Why do yon, my dear friend ? Why, you will make an enemy for life ofthe woman," screamed the frightened Gibson. " Is that left to be done ? Ia she not aa mnch my enemy now as sbe ever could be ?" " But not openly 1 Do remember her posi¬ tiou, and ignore tbe faota- Chargo it all to servants, servants, who are always bad: it is better to believe that the waiting-maid lied tban to lose Mrs. Paston." " But I know- " " I know you do; but here la a perfect opportunity to pretend that you don't know." " But why pretend ?" " Because that is society. It we did not pretend, we could not snpport the present structure of sooiety. The truth is a very harah aud awkward thing, and shonld notjbe spoken at all times. That is a charming idea, doubtless, in poetry and romance, but it don't do at Newport." The Maaqaerade of Hatel The romance of aociety was gone. It was too truly a mas¬ querade—¦brilliant, charming to the senaes, but horribly falae, fatally untrue. The guests oould not be unmasked.

And then ahe won¬ dered where William was and what he might be doing. " Perhaps he will go to the thea¬ tre," ahe thought: and then corrected her¬ self, as she remembered that it was an opera uight, aud that he had alwaya expressed a wish to aee Madame Griai. Thir»veniiig br*e'ie at last drove her from the window; and, lighting the lamp, she sought the "Amusement" column of a daily paper, and found lhat Griai would appear in "Lucrecia Borgia." "Ahl I am glad oftbat. William will enjoy it higly." Self-forgetful, ahe did not lament that she coald not be there, too ; bat ahe pictured the gay acene, and was happy in WiUiam*3 aupposed happineaa. A few scenes iu Kingsley'a " Saint'a Trage¬ dy," 80 sad tbat ahe could read bnt a faw scenea; and lastly, iu accordance with another old-fashioned notion, a chapter iu the Bible ; and thua Mrs. Stanley ended her first day alone. Few of us cau remember ever having passed two daya in aucceasion exactly alike. The usnal order ia, aquiet day, and thenan active day, then another quiet one. So, as Mra. Stanley had passed one still, quiet day, the one that followed might naturally be expected to be of a diiferent character. One would have aupposed that ahe appoiuted a reception day, ao numerous were the calls abe receiered. Very little had she for the odd jobs ahe had planned. But the worated-work was finished, aud the pencil drawing commenced. Ou the third day, the parlor waa atrewn with drawing materiaia, working-cotton, etc.; and slight showers kept Mrs. Stanley in-doora, aud husy. " Oh, tbia hematitcbing is getting tiresomel I would not mako mamma a present that bas cost me any unpleasant houra, I'll lay it aaide for a time. I'll draw a little. No; I'll look at theae songs.

Nature was grand, calm and beneficent. I could not help aaking Mra, Borrowe, if she did not sometimea flnd aociety tadious and unaatiafactory. " Yea; but it has its attractions, I know I am horn for something better; hut I l»ve it ; I cannot escape from it; I beiieve we should all live with sach other; and if th« mass ia stupid, let uado our iudividual might to make it brighter." " But do we ? do wa not all talce a lower tone when we mingle with society ? Would you now, dear Mra. Borrowe, have dared to quote that aplendid aimik, which you have just spok«n BO appropriately, if you had been in the parlor at the hotel F" " No, because, asCeoil aaya, (that worldly- wise Cecil 1) 'We must, to aucceed in socie ty, couaent to lose our individuality, and float along with the maas, distinguished only for our extreme resemblance to all the rest.* I And we muit all remember that hate, envy, detraction, are alwaying lying in wait for the suceesaful person, and if I am eo unfortunate aa to command any excessive admiration, I suffer for it. The most auccassful peraona I know in eociety, ara peraona who have nei¬ ther beauty nor wit, who dress well, and while they alarm and wonnd no one's vanity, are atill sought for thoir poaition, tact, and ' knowledge of the world,' whioh means, never ahowing any other kind of knowledge," At thia moment I remembered my letter and drew it from my pocket. it was a badly-apelled, badly-written letter; Baying that the writer felt bound to tell me that he had seen Mr. Sutherland kisaing my handsome sister Miss Rose, in the dusk of the evening before, as they ware walking on the piazza; and that he (the writer) had aome other facts to communicate, which he would do for five dollars, if I wonld write him a note, and ieave it on the table, whon I went to dinner, in my own parlor. I auppoaed it waa from some waiter who wished to get money from me, and showed it to Mrs- Borrofre. She looked it over atten¬ tively. . "This is from no waiter. It is a lady'a hand diflgnised. It ia done to create talk. The person who wrote it imagines that you will be frightened, and will mention it to the landlord, or some person about the house: you will complain of your parlor being enter¬ ed by 8ome w«iter or servant, and the story Some unexpected inapiration «nabled me to say, with an indifferent tone : "Oh 1 I sup¬ pose he does not oare to come, if my slater is not here." I waa 50 excited and distressed, that the effort to play so unnatural a part was rapidly depriving me of all my strength, when I aaw Mra. Borrowe enter with Sutherland. I had always detested this man; bat at thia moment he looked perfectly beautifnl to me. He came up with Mrs. Borrowe, after paying me some compliments, asked for my fair aiater. I made some inane answer, and a snbtlo attraction drew my eyea towarda Mrs. Paaton: her face was diatorted with rage, hut became smiling immediately. As Sutherland passed her, ahe gave him & look from which he quailed, and I have since observed, that all the evil which the world had previously said of Sutherland, waa praise, compared with what Mrs. Paston afterwards treated him to. "I have not found Rose," whispered Mrs. Borrowe ; " but I found Sutherland, which was next best; aud I made him come here with me, although he dfd'nt want to ; but he came because he wants me to invite him to my supper party next week, and if mat¬ ters are aa I auapect, he haa been used by soma ladies here to affix auspicion on Roae ; aud being been here himself, is so mnch in her favor. How well you look I What a oolor I Why, anxiety becomea you I" " 0 dear woman 1 I am all painted up; and I am dying of anxiety about Roae. Do let me go ; I ahall drop down if you do not," So Mrs. Borrowe, serene and smiling, pilot¬ ed me to the door. We left Sutherland dan¬ cing mainly ; and with head almoat bursting with pain, I reached my own room. There, on the table, waa a nolo written In pencil, to thia effect: "Dear Lanra: Jeannie Millwood is quite ill, and wants me to come over and apend the night with her. I don't care for ihe hop. Yours, affectionately, "Rose." I had suffered enongh during these few hours to give me the right to faint away, which I did immediately, and on coming to sent for Mrs. Borrowe, who shared In my re¬ lief, as she had in my anxiety. This ia a atory of a new but unpatented, and moat anccessful experiment at house- cleaning, which W0 feel assured, will he read with interest by those lady-readera who— like ns of the coaraer sex—think house- cleaning ft periodical plague—worse, if poasi¬ ble, than tho dreary days of old-fashioned soap-making:— "jWell, my dear," aaid William Stanley to his wife, "I think, if you wilt get out my portmanteau, and fill it, I will runoff to town for a few daya." " Ah I" aaid Mrs. Stanley, arching her eye- browa. " On business ?" " Nd, not particularly," he replied, *' I like tn go, occasionally ; and I auppose that thia week would be quite as convenient a time, all things considered, aa I could chooae." So with the belief that William had some¬ thing to call him from home that he did not care to trouble her about, Uke the confiding, trusting wife, that she was, she packed the portmanteau, dropping iuto it one item that had not been called for—a tear, ahed at the thought of her coming lonolineas. " Silly child that I am," she aald, hastily wiping her eyes. "Two years a wife, and still ao childish. I'll dry my tears and be no longer fooliah. And yet, would he have gone away so coolly a year ago, for no particular reason, except that he ' liked to go, ocoasiou- ally ?' Is he tiring of ma I me—who meant to be to him one of the best of wives, and make his home like no other place on earth •—that he muat leave me for so paltry a rea¬ sou ?" And pretty Mra. Stanley looked quite dejected, aa ahe went about her work, and sought to drown her unpleasant thoughts in the performance of daily duties. William Stanley took the next train for town, telling his wife, with & good-humored, yet meaning smile, that he ahould " be back again quite as soon as ahe would ba glad to see him." "Gone I" ahe ejaculated; "and for how loug a time I know not. How dreary the houaysesmsl—And how shall I apeud all theae weary days f My housework ia but little, and—now onlymyself tooare for—will take but a few houra ofthe day. Let me see! I'll take up some of my girlish occupations. There is the ottoman cover tbat never waa finished; that pencil drawing of the old homestead, that I waa to complete and get framed; that handkerchief, hemstitched, for mother; aud then those aouga lhat William bought for me, the other day. Ahl I will finish these odd jobs. Then they willbe off my mind, and I ahall be so buay that I will not have time to he miserable. What a happy thought 1 Now, if I were a-real heroine, I shonld lia on the lounge all day, en disha¬ bille, with not a thought for anything but myself—thinking all the time,that 'Iwould not, if I could, be gay.* No, no; nothing of that kind will do for me. ' Away with mel¬ ancholy 1'" sang the little lady, as she took the duater, and proceeded to duat the parlor. Hor morning work finiahed, ahe went up stairs into the little ante-room, where things long forgotten were stored. Opening an old trunk, she seated herself on a small chest, I and commenced a review of ita oontents. A •• .Kod still my sonl pursaea Us dreaming Till thon retarn. Time ahall not move me to complaining. Our hearts nnaltered aye romaiulng. Till thou return." Charmed by tha influence of tha words and the music, Mrs. Stanley leaned her elbow upon the muaio-deak, and fell to thinking.— She was aroused by a touch upon her shoul¬ der, aud a kisa upon har forehead. "Oh, WiUiam I ia that you? How you fr:ghtened me I I did not expect you ao loon." " Ah I then it waa uot my return for which you were waiting F Hey, my dear *" Mra. Stanley bluahed ; but her happy face told the truth—" Whose retum should she be waiting for?" " Yes, yea," said William ; " but I have not been among 'everlasting snowa* and ' foaming brooka.'" " Well, well ; have it as you please," gaid his wife; "only I am so glad tbat you are here 1 But how did you get in withont my knowing it ?" "Oh, 'out of Eight, out of mind," you know." "Cruel man," she said, "you know nothing about it. Look arouud tha room, and see how hard I have tried to keep busy, and not to grow lonesome." "Drawing, embroidery, sewing, reading, muaic I Do you know that I fancied that yoar occupations had been vastly different f" " No ; what can you mean?" she asked. " Have you forgotten a year ago at this time?" " Yea, yes—I believe so," she replied.— " But what of it T" " Well, it so happens that I had uol for¬ gotten it," said her huaband. " Scrubbing and cleaning week, was it not ?" "Perhaps so"' she said. "What made yoa remember it ?" " Why, I aet it down in my memory as the unhappiest week I had known since our marriage," he replied ; " so this yaar I re¬ solved to be out of the way while the 'three days' revolution' was taking placa; ao I forced myself off to town." " Oh, William, had you told me this before, you need not have gone, and I ahould have been spared some sad thoughts, and aome aad teara—some, not many, mind you I" " Ah I how is that ?" he inquired. " I have attended to no house cleaning aince you left," ahe replied. " Indeed 1" he said- " Then the evil day is put off?" "Not so," she replied. "I have no evil day. This year I resolved to have no more house-cleaning periods, but to pnt the houae in order in the most quiet way possibles-doing a little of the all-important house-cleaning every day, until all was completed, in order to save all thii diaagruaubla bustle and con¬ fuaion. An hour or two every morning I have given to it; aud it seems as if it had gone off with the help of magio. I like it so well that I think I ought to take out a patent for my new homeopathic treatment of the annual diaeaae—houae-cleaning." " Do BO, best of wives," aaid her huaband, " and it ahall cure me of my roving habits of which I ahould he glad to be free ; for, if any man had cause to say, * There's no place like home,' it is your happy William."

I^" A word about breaking oolta may not come amiss. The following general prinoi¬ ples should be kept in mind:— "1. Begin early. 2. Begin by degreea. 3. Be gentle and patient. 4. Be firm, 5. Feed well with generousj bat not too stimulating food. 6. Be very sure neither to overtask the strength, or orush the spirits of a oolt.— Use the whip or spur leav, and in their place put kindness. Three grains of kindness are worth aU the whips and spurs in the world, in breaking a colt. There are a great many horsea injured for want of kindness. Thia I am sure no one will pretend to deny. For inatance, a man haa a colt to break. The colt has never been bandied. The man, with several others to help him, drives the colt into the stable. He then forces a bit into his month, and if there Js one among them that dares, he jumps upon hia back, weU armed with a stout whip, and very often a spur; theae he does not forget to use. He clings to the colt's baok as longaa he is able, bnt is finaUy thrown off. He tries again and agun, until, completely exhausted, the ooit is obliged to yield; that ia, for the time being. Is this the way to break colta f Ko, to be snre it is not. The golden rule would apply aa weU here as anywhere. So be kind to your horsea, my gentte friends." —^The elastic tissue packed within eaoh hoof of a horse is so folded, backward and for* ward, that it would present a surface of four feet scinare were it spread ont.

Sister Rose and I were at Newport last summer; hence the title of this story.
When in my comfortable, quiet, yet beanti¬ ful home ou the Susquebana, I read "liy NoTtil," I camo upon this passage:
" In the Gothic age grim Humor painted ' the Dance of Death;' in our polished centu¬ ry some aardonio wit should give us tho 'Masquerade of Hale.'"
There, surrounded with comfort, luxury and beauty; with that feeling of security which one's home giv*-3, all about me; the bad passions had reiired iuto the back ground of my imagination and lived there, shadows without form or reality ; and I thought, as I read this passage, how over-atrained, unreal and melo-dramatio it was, Yet I could not forget itl A Masquerade of Hatel Evwry- thidg about me snggested peace. The river, broad, beneficent and tranquil, flowed ever onward for good. The trees, the flowers, the aky ; all was handiwork of Love ; yet I read again the words of the great master of English romance, and an inward voice told me that I ahould one day recognise a troth in them.
The fine passage follows: "Love ia rarely a hypocrite. But Hate—how detact, how guard against itl It lurks where you least auepect it; it is created by causes that you cau the least foresee; and civilization multiplies its varieties, while it favors its disguise ; for ci¬ vilization increases tho numberof contending interssts, and refinement renders more sus¬ ceptible to the least irritation the cuticle of self-love. Bat hate comes covertly forth from some self-interest we have crosssed, or some self-love we have wounded; and, dullards that we are, how seldom we are aware ofour offence 1 You may be hated by a man you have uever sean in your life; you may ba hated as often by oue whom you have loaded with benefits; you may ao walk as not to tread on a worm; but you must sit fast in yonr easy-chair until yon are carried out to your bier, if yoa would bo sure not to tread on some snake of a foe."
Hate! a word I had almost forgotten. My own past, how secure it had been from the ugly monster thus startliugly summoned be¬ fore me by the wand of the enchanter I I remembered how guarded my youth had been, the child of prosperity, the early loved. I had known no sorrow, scarcely disappoint¬ ment, until a great grief oame and shrouded me aa with a veil from any other experience for I was now thirty, and had been ten yeara a widow.
The few years of society and the gay world which came between my school days and early marriage were so bright, so full of plea¬ sure, that I looked back upon "society" as a land full of beauteous images, fair women, great men, eensible, brilliant, witty conversa¬ tion, music, dancing, all that can charm the imagination and the sensea, a refined luxury giving richness to the pictures, an early love lending it romance and poetry.
When tbe chief figure was stricken oat of thia picture, I never wished to look upou it again. I knew that in looking upon the hril¬ liant Burface I should see only that void.— So I had lived a quite, retired life, surround¬ ed only by the nearest and dearest friends, until grief had become melancholy, and final¬ ly, perhaps, only aomething less than that; bnt the world I had forgotteu.
Was then thia brilliant pageant, called so¬ ciety, bnt a masquerade? Were men and women bowing, smiling, caressing and enter¬ taining each other but to forward their own ends; to advance their own interests? Was there a akeleton at every feast?—and hidden hy a mask of polite and elegaut demeanor, did jealonsly, distrust, scandal, detraction walk among the guests?
Hate! a potent word ; it colored the land¬ scape, it darkened the snn, it gave tothe soft aummer breeze a harsh and severe sound. I felt as if a disagreeable presence had stolen int'j my life and shut out the tranquillity and happiness; when there appeared walking on the greensward beneath my window, Sister Rose.
Ko disagreeablw preience wai sister Rosa. SliL' banished hute and broight back light to the Bun, music to the breeze. Siater Rose was seventeen ; sweet, beantiful, and colored like the rival flowera of York and Lancaiter; ahe was the youngest, fairest bud on our an¬ cestral tree ; aud though thirteen years ae¬ parated her from me, we were sisters in the fondest, truest sense, in mutual confidence and love, daahud with a sort of maternal au¬ thority ou my part, a sort of deferential daugbterbood on hera.
She waa all the world to me, dear aister Rose!
Mrs. Gfbson walked by sister Rose on the green, Mrs. Gibson was a gay lady, who had come to pay us a visit. As they walked, their conversation floated up to me through the still June air.
"And Newport Is BO delightfal?" aaked sister Rose.
" Oh! perfeclly delightful. The olimate of Italy and the best people in the United States. Such a charming set of people in the cottages, yes, and palaces too! Such gay icenes at the Bellevue, the Fillmore; the Ocean is a little fast, perhaps, but very nice people thero, too. Such drives! auch bath¬ ing, such dressing, such a dear old pioture- aque town I Oh! there is nothing like New¬ port—nothing I nothing t" "Ishouldao like to go!" aaid Rose. 'JAudwhynot? Make Mra. Clifton take you. Plenty of money, youth, beauty, good fanuly; you should go! Come to Phihidel¬ phia with me, and wa ahaU get a beautiful wardrobe prepared, and—nous verrons.'"
"Bat I do not believe Bister Laura would liko to leare her retirement; she haa been quiet 60 longl"
"But she mtiat not bo quiet; ahe is shut- tiug yoa out from that world to whioh you belong. In tho name of that wrong and
were screwed into unimaginable torment by our maid Matilde. In this state I ate my firat dinner and took a survey.
Fortunately our dreases (thanks to Mra. Gibson, who had taken a contract to dress u9 aa if we were two French dolls, aud had fulfilled it to admiration,) were very band¬ aome. We were spared the humiliation of finding ourselves badly dressed at Newport, perhaps one of the greatest of the petites miseres of life I We had good rooms; we wero introduced right and left; we had tho golden key which unlocks exclusive Faahion's innermost wicket-door—we had money I
Another advantage we had, we were now. A aomething to do is the great want of the Newport habitues, and a aomething to talk about, the absolute necessity. For a few days we fumished them ocoupation ; at the end of tbree, Mrs. Faston, who sat oppoaite ua at uble, knew all about us; that we had had a distant relative in the Cabinet of one of the Presidents; that we had so much (and no more) money; what tbe family politics were; what religion we professed; and Mra, Paston aought our acquaintance, and we entered on the Newport course with heavy bets on our auccess.
Shadow of Sutherland I did you rise before me to suggest that equine simile ?
Well, to return to my firat dinner; next me sat Mr. Gibson, & man whose vision, thongh straight enongh as to the physical eye, waa singnlarly oblique when contem¬ plated with that second set of optics which we all possess, and which looka beyond and behind the other. To have contemplated Mr. Gibson with this second pair of eyes, (which never grow feeble with years, and only need spectacles in extreme yontb,) one would hava aeen that he was afllicted witli a sort of moral atrabiamua, and that somo things were lamentably confused to him, while othera wera pecuUariy adapted to his angle of vision; for instance, Mr. Gibson never failed to see what he defined as a " person of consequence," and waa as blind aaBelisariua toapersonof "noconsequence." Perhaps, however, he waa as good a cicerone at Newport as I could have had, though for "guide, philosopher and friend," inany other sphere, I ahould not have chosen him.
" Who is that young man who looks so much like a horse ?" I a«ked of Mr. Gibson. "My dear Mrs. Clifton, how can you say anch things ? That is Mr. Sutherland, a young man of tho greatest consequence 1 He is very rich, very aristocratic, a little given to gaming, aud they say, rather, too fond of horse-raciug,and suoh little expensive amuse¬ ments ; however, if he doesn't injure hia fortane, no matter ; he will soon bavo sown his wild oats."
"He looks to me as if he wero in the habit of eating them."
¦'Hel he!" aald Mr. Gibson, who never laughed sincerely at any joke at an aristocrat. "And who ia that little woman who looka ao much like a poodle-dog?"
" Now, Mrs, Clifton, yoa are too bad I That is Mrs. Smithson, the most exclusive woman here. Allow me to say, that if Mra. Smithson and Mrs. Paaton aak to be introduced to you, your fortune la made I I mean at Newport 1" I muat confess I was a little angry at the imagined condescension of theso ladies ; but I knew Mr. Gibson, and I forgave him, for I remembered hii strabismus.
" Who is the lovely woman with roses in her hair, who is taking such care of the stupid little man by her side ?"
" Ah I that is Mrs. Morris Borrowe, the beauty, the petted of fortune, so amiable, so careful too I Never hear anything against Mrs. Morris Borrowe! And the little man, twice her age, is Mr. Morris Borrowe, married by au ambitious mother; every one said too bad; but immensely rich. She really aeema to like him though ; perhaps wary and deep —don't know ; theae innocent looking onea are the ones aometimes, Mrs. Clifton, he I he I" If Mrs. Morris Borrowe was a " deep one " she was very deep, for innocence and truth sat enthroned on ber face, and kindness beamed ^om her whole demeanor.
"Who is that fine intellectual man down the table ?"
" Ah 1 Warden Wood, vory distinguished, but not a marrying man," " And the blink-eyed youth ?" " Mrs. Paaton's aou ; very good dancer.*' "And the nice-looking party beyond. I mean the father and daughter?'*
"Don't KKow TUBM," answered Mr, Gibson with withering ennnciation. I wonder if any description of type can give the force of this remark which Mr. Gibson gave. It was as if the destroying angel said to shivering wretches on the brink of the gulf: " Go down, and never hope to rise I Twice wretched wretches,.go down I down.' down I"
There is nothing in Milton more terrific than thia sentence, pronounced by your true worldling. It says unimaginable things, and little as I knew of the world, I felt a solemn conviction that that father and those daugh¬ ters were driven out of the inner world of fashion aa utterly as was Lucifer ejacted from Paradise.
SisterRoae had a distinguished success the firat dinner, for Mr. Sutherland, who sat oppo¬ site, began to stare at her. Poor Roae, look¬ ing upunconsciouflly, saw his eyea fixed upon her, and looking down, blushed over face, neck and arms. Sutherland was not accua¬ tomed to that sort of thing; the coy maidens At whom he generally stared were past blush¬ ing, aud he doubtless had a sensation very like that which a thirsty traveller experiences when he fiudH a fresh strawberry hy the side of a dusty road—he intended from that mo¬ ment to refresh himself withthe nnaxpected fruit.
Mr. Gibson found it out immediately.—¦
"See," he exclaimed, " Sutherland ia staring
at Roae I That is an immense compliment."
" An immense insuU," eaid 1, taking fire
at oncQ.
" Now, Mrs. Clifton, be quiet; my good friend, you do not know this world as I do. Why, men will look at handsome girla, and Sutherland is a little spoiled ; bnt a man of such position I Do listen to reaaon, and be yuiei. If yon want to have Rose see aociety you must not quarrel with it at onoe becauae aome of its xnodem innovations do not square with your very retired and pecnliar notions." " Bat, Mr. Gibson, my ' retired notions,' aa you please to call them, have been considered the rules of gentlemanly conduct sinoe tha world was yoang. Why, what did chivalry mean 7 what does poetry, romance, mean f what does civilization mean, if not, thatman being atrong ahaU protect, yes, graciously and respectfully protect, woman, and not inault

" You talk very well, dear Mrs. Clifton, I dou't doabt, uncommonly weU; bat it has no aort of effect at Newport—not th« leaat, noi the least! ^ Tou might talk forever abont chivalry, but I rather think nobody, at least not the young men, would know what you meant; and if they did they would not care, no, not they.

Borrowe at length broke it:
I asked Mrs. Paston who waa the fine- looking woman in bine whom I saw iu the parlor.
"Oh! that ia Mrs. Akerly, an old friend of mine, but we do not apeak now for we are at the rival-bouaes."
The tyranny of ideas is a power whioh knows no limits. It made Martin Luther fling his inkstand at tho gentlemau in black; it sent Napoleon to St. Helena ; i» is the forca which drives men to the Crimea to starve and die; aud it descends so low that it even makes the women hate each other; because they charge themselves with the honor of two rival taverns,
Siater Rose had a auccess; Sutherland ad¬ mired her ; other youug men followed ; ahe danced perpelnally, had fiowers, and all the insignia of bellehood. She enjoyed it; it was her right; 1 could but admire the wo¬ man's inatinot which taught har ao readily what to do with all her newly-acquired bon¬ ora. She was gay, but reserved with Suther¬ land, whose character she read at a glanoe ; ¦he was amused with the satirical Warden Wood ; she liked (I feared too much) Traoy, a well appointed youth, who foUowed her much ; bnt she bore her blushing honor well, I had never been beautiful like Rose, and I enjoyed the sweet power it gave her, for her sake and my own.
All was going on well. I was bathing, talking, amusing myself with the new reve¬ lations which society was teaching me ; and although my high ideal of the converaatiou and elevation of that aeot began to give way to a reality aomewhat low, I enjoyed myaelf. There is a fascination in a gay pageant, whether you find meaning in it or not.
One profound diacov«ry I had made, which waa tbis: if you wonld succeed iu society, you must at least pretend to be a fool 1
There waa Mrs. Morria Borrowe, whom I had got to know, and who frequently took me to drive. She was charmingly natural, bright, and even witty whan we were alone, having a remarkable insight iuto character; but when we returuod to the circle^of our hotel, ahe bacame almost stupid; a well-bred languor overspread her features. She said nothing but common-places ; no emotion be¬ trayed itself on her trained foaturea.
O shadow of Maintouou, of Pompadour, of Espimasse, of Reoamier ! was this your idea of being ftharmiug ? Wa wear your dreases, we copy your graces ; why cannot we follow your sprightly foot-steps still further, and dare to be witty and wiae as yon were at yonr dear little suppers ? Is it because there are fools in high places, and we muat follow tho fashion, as we do^of an ugly collar, (because a duchess has a king'a evil,) and bo fool:^ if ws can—if not, play that we are I
One of the wita of Newport waa Mr. Sem- ple. He waa very well born and bred, and it was considered proper to laogh at bis jokea. He, it aeems, had taken ont a license to be funny ; aud all other wit was contraband ; he might be laughed at.
"Mrs. Clifton," he drawled one evening, *'do you kuow that to-day I have made an atrocious pun ? I said that the names of the houaea should be ipUt, oura ahould be called the •Fill-belle/ and that the ' Yue-More,* from the namei of FiUmore and Bellevue.— We are filled loith belles, and they oould view more without hurting them I"
A silvery laugh echoed through the rooms. We all dared to be amused, and this gigantic achievement of wit passed iuto one of tbo legends of Newport intellectuality.
Onr of the ladiea of Newport had, as I had always supposed, a very enviable reputation for her wit, learning and cleverness ; but I found this was a positive disadvantage to her; for ou asking Mr. Semple abont hor, he seemed rather disgusted,and anawered me:
" Very good honae, nice position, rioh, but too chatty ; oh I decidedly too chatty I"
The aacond week of our stay still found Roae the reigning belle of the hoase. Nei¬ ther Miss Chase wbo sang, nor Miss Brown who played, nor Miss Robinson, whoso mam¬ ma mancBuvred, had anything to compare with Bose in point of succeia- And then camo the unmasking!
I went to dresa one day for dinner, quite late, and ha I not time to read a dirty note which I found on my table, and which I sup¬ posed was some begging letter: and seeing it lie there still unread, as I wat goiug to take my afternoon drive with Mra. Borrowe, I put it hastily in my pocket to read on the way.
The afternoon waa beautiful, aud as Mrs, Borrowe looked out on the sea, she quoted Horace Smith's fine lines :
" To that cathedral, bunodleas rr our wonder. Where ehlnicg lampi the irnvaod moon bopply; Ils choir, the wlnda and wavea; Um organ, thnnder; Its dome, theskT'."

lug with Mrs. Gibson, whom I met iuthe hall, ; and who said she had beeu home an hour. Rose was not in my own room nor hers ; and Matilde, my maid, said she had come iu very huriedly, taken a ahawl and gone out again.
I waited an hour very uneasily. Then I went out to see Mrs. Gibson agaiu. She knew nothing of her I aaid she walked ofi" talking with Sutherland and some young ladies after the drive.
At this moment one of the young ladies came in, and said she had returned with Rose and Sutherland just before I drove up, and thought Rose mnat be In her own room, dressing for the hop,
I went again : there waa the dress ahe was to wear, but no Rose. I was getting more and more alarmed.
I went to Mra. Borrowe. She was fright¬ ened too. Sha asked me if I had perfect confidence in Rose, that ahe could nol be deceiving me. " Perfeot, perfect,"
" Then, this is a plot to annoy you, like all the rest.
Kow, be oalm you must dress and go to the hop to-night, tell everybody that Rose did, not coma because she had a head-ache; bo perfectly cool about it: aud I will look for Roae. She is safe, depend npon it; but, if you wiah to aave her and yourself a terrible soandal, do not ahow that yoa are anxioas about her."
There was something so perfectly convin¬ cing in Mrs. Borrowe's manner tbatl sub¬ mitted.
Matilde exclaimed at my p,ile cheeka and haggard expression.
"If Madame would but colora little. She haa the distinction, the air, the everything, bnt sha has uot tbe complexion. Would Madama be brilliant for the ball, and permit me to color with discretion. " Do what you lika, Matilde." So Matilde prodnced, fromher own maga¬ zines, bottles and boxes, aud proceeded to make me up: a drawing sensation of the akin convinced me tbat a color, " charming, natural," like that which bloomed perpetu¬ ally on the ch.'eks of Matitde, was blushing on my own. My eye-brows, my hair, were also touched with various brushes and other instruments. After receiving .the treatment which ia generally beiitowed ou the " portrait of a lady," instead of the lady herself, I waa pronounced fiuished, and looked at myself.
I hardly kuew the enamelled visage which presented itaelf. This, then, waa one dort of " mask," whioh I had not ramembared. It was easier thau I thought, to hide the anxiety which gnawed at my heart. I could better appear unconcerned behind this face.
" Come," aaid Mrs. Borrowe, knocking at my door ; " hero ia Warden Wood waiting to escort you. Bless mel how well you look 1 I am on the track," sho wispered ; " be com¬ posed I There is nothing wrong "
Mr. Warden Wood was too well bred to notice my abstractions, if indeed I ihowed any ; and I oannot remember much of this evening, except that he and others compli¬ mented me much on my appearance, and that in the many inquiries for Rose, I thonght Mrs. Paston and Mrs, Smithson looked more interesting than the occasion required; and both asked where was Mr. Sutherland.

Mr. Gibson and I held a final meeting on the snbject of Newport in my parlor just before we came away.
Mrs. Pastou waa announced. I sent back her oard.
" Why do yon, my dear friend ? Why, you will make an enemy for life ofthe woman," screamed the frightened Gibson.
" Is that left to be done ? Ia she not aa mnch my enemy now as sbe ever could be ?"
" But not openly 1 Do remember her posi¬ tiou, and ignore tbe faota- Chargo it all to servants, servants, who are always bad: it is better to believe that the waiting-maid lied tban to lose Mrs. Paston."
" But I know- "
" I know you do; but here la a perfect opportunity to pretend that you don't know."
" But why pretend ?"
" Because that is society. It we did not pretend, we could not snpport the present structure of sooiety. The truth is a very harah aud awkward thing, and shonld notjbe spoken at all times. That is a charming idea, doubtless, in poetry and romance, but it don't do at Newport."
The Maaqaerade of Hatel The romance of aociety was gone. It was too truly a mas¬ querade—¦brilliant, charming to the senaes, but horribly falae, fatally untrue. The guests oould not be unmasked. Should the veil be pulled aaide, more horrible would be the re¬ velation than that of the " Dance of Death 1"
Yet wag not all barren. I had found Mrs, Borrowu iu it and not of it; her friendship was worth the whole; and Roae—Roae fouud Mr. Tracy ; and perhaps the loneliness of my houae now (for my Rose has baen transplant¬ ed) may have affected my apirits ao power¬ fully that I have giveu a harsher coloring to the picture than I ahould have dono were sho still here to cheer me, and to show me, by the perfect happinesa of her marriage, that aome good thing can come out of aociety

THE WIFE'S EXPERIMENT.
that came ont, one by one. Very beautiful she thought the scene. And then ahe won¬ dered where William was and what he might be doing. " Perhaps he will go to the thea¬ tre," ahe thought: and then corrected her¬ self, as she remembered that it was an opera uight, aud that he had alwaya expressed a wish to aee Madame Griai.
Thir»veniiig br*e'ie at last drove her from the window; and, lighting the lamp, she sought the "Amusement" column of a daily paper, and found lhat Griai would appear in "Lucrecia Borgia."
"Ahl I am glad oftbat. William will enjoy it higly." Self-forgetful, ahe did not lament that she coald not be there, too ; bat ahe pictured the gay acene, and was happy in WiUiam*3 aupposed happineaa.
A few scenes iu Kingsley'a " Saint'a Trage¬ dy," 80 sad tbat ahe could read bnt a faw scenea; and lastly, iu accordance with another old-fashioned notion, a chapter iu the Bible ; and thua Mrs. Stanley ended her first day alone.
Few of us cau remember ever having passed two daya in aucceasion exactly alike. The usnal order ia, aquiet day, and thenan active day, then another quiet one. So, as Mra. Stanley had passed one still, quiet day, the one that followed might naturally be expected to be of a diiferent character. One would have aupposed that ahe appoiuted a reception day, ao numerous were the calls abe receiered. Very little had she for the odd jobs ahe had planned. But the worated-work was finished, aud the pencil drawing commenced.
Ou the third day, the parlor waa atrewn with drawing materiaia, working-cotton, etc.; and slight showers kept Mrs. Stanley in-doora, aud husy.
" Oh, tbia hematitcbing is getting tiresomel I would not mako mamma a present that bas cost me any unpleasant houra, I'll lay it aaide for a time. I'll draw a little. No; I'll look at theae songs. Yea : at thfs one."— And, seating herself at the piano, she opened Mendelssohn's beautiful' little song, " Far Away :"
" 0 far away I'll fly In dreamlnji,
Whero thon art now, Where everlastlog roowb are gleamln};, And foAinlng brooks go lakeward streaming, Where tbou art now.

The "choir of winds and wavea'* was chaunting its majestio anthem. Nature was grand, calm and beneficent. I could not help aaking Mra, Borrowe, if she did not sometimea flnd aociety tadious and unaatiafactory.
" Yea; but it has its attractions, I know I am horn for something better; hut I l»ve it ; I cannot escape from it; I beiieve we should all live with sach other; and if th« mass ia stupid, let uado our iudividual might to make it brighter."
" But do we ? do wa not all talce a lower tone when we mingle with society ? Would you now, dear Mra. Borrowe, have dared to quote that aplendid aimik, which you have just spok«n BO appropriately, if you had been in the parlor at the hotel F"
" No, because, asCeoil aaya, (that worldly- wise Cecil 1) 'We must, to aucceed in socie ty, couaent to lose our individuality, and float along with the maas, distinguished only for our extreme resemblance to all the rest.* I And we muit all remember that hate, envy, detraction, are alwaying lying in wait for the suceesaful person, and if I am eo unfortunate aa to command any excessive admiration, I suffer for it. The most auccassful peraona I know in eociety, ara peraona who have nei¬ ther beauty nor wit, who dress well, and while they alarm and wonnd no one's vanity, are atill sought for thoir poaition, tact, and ' knowledge of the world,' whioh means, never ahowing any other kind of knowledge," At thia moment I remembered my letter and drew it from my pocket.
it was a badly-apelled, badly-written letter; Baying that the writer felt bound to tell me that he had seen Mr. Sutherland kisaing my handsome sister Miss Rose, in the dusk of the evening before, as they ware walking on the piazza; and that he (the writer) had aome other facts to communicate, which he would do for five dollars, if I wonld write him a note, and ieave it on the table, whon I went to dinner, in my own parlor.
I auppoaed it waa from some waiter who wished to get money from me, and showed it to Mrs- Borrofre. She looked it over atten¬ tively.
. "This is from no waiter. It is a lady'a hand diflgnised. It ia done to create talk. The person who wrote it imagines that you will be frightened, and will mention it to the landlord, or some person about the house: you will complain of your parlor being enter¬ ed by 8ome w«iter or servant, and the story
Some unexpected inapiration «nabled me to say, with an indifferent tone : "Oh 1 I sup¬ pose he does not oare to come, if my slater is not here."
I waa 50 excited and distressed, that the effort to play so unnatural a part was rapidly depriving me of all my strength, when I aaw Mra. Borrowe enter with Sutherland.
I had always detested this man; bat at thia moment he looked perfectly beautifnl to me. He came up with Mrs. Borrowe, after paying me some compliments, asked for my fair aiater.
I made some inane answer, and a snbtlo attraction drew my eyea towarda Mrs. Paaton: her face was diatorted with rage, hut became smiling immediately.
As Sutherland passed her, ahe gave him & look from which he quailed, and I have since observed, that all the evil which the world had previously said of Sutherland, waa praise, compared with what Mrs. Paston afterwards treated him to.
"I have not found Rose," whispered Mrs. Borrowe ; " but I found Sutherland, which was next best; aud I made him come here with me, although he dfd'nt want to ; but he came because he wants me to invite him to my supper party next week, and if mat¬ ters are aa I auapect, he haa been used by soma ladies here to affix auspicion on Roae ; aud being been here himself, is so mnch in her favor. How well you look I What a oolor I Why, anxiety becomea you I"
" 0 dear woman 1 I am all painted up; and I am dying of anxiety about Roae. Do let me go ; I ahall drop down if you do not,"
So Mrs. Borrowe, serene and smiling, pilot¬ ed me to the door. We left Sutherland dan¬ cing mainly ; and with head almoat bursting with pain, I reached my own room.
There, on the table, waa a nolo written In pencil, to thia effect:
"Dear Lanra: Jeannie Millwood is quite ill, and wants me to come over and apend the night with her. I don't care for ihe hop. Yours, affectionately, "Rose."
I had suffered enongh during these few hours to give me the right to faint away, which I did immediately, and on coming to sent for Mrs. Borrowe, who shared In my re¬ lief, as she had in my anxiety.
This ia a atory of a new but unpatented, and moat anccessful experiment at house- cleaning, which W0 feel assured, will he read with interest by those lady-readera who— like ns of the coaraer sex—think house- cleaning ft periodical plague—worse, if poasi¬ ble, than tho dreary days of old-fashioned soap-making:—
"jWell, my dear," aaid William Stanley to his wife, "I think, if you wilt get out my portmanteau, and fill it, I will runoff to town for a few daya."
" Ah I" aaid Mrs. Stanley, arching her eye- browa. " On business ?"
" Nd, not particularly," he replied, *' I like tn go, occasionally ; and I auppose that thia week would be quite as convenient a time, all things considered, aa I could chooae."
So with the belief that William had some¬ thing to call him from home that he did not care to trouble her about, Uke the confiding, trusting wife, that she was, she packed the portmanteau, dropping iuto it one item that had not been called for—a tear, ahed at the thought of her coming lonolineas.
" Silly child that I am," she aald, hastily wiping her eyes. "Two years a wife, and still ao childish. I'll dry my tears and be no longer fooliah. And yet, would he have gone away so coolly a year ago, for no particular reason, except that he ' liked to go, ocoasiou- ally ?' Is he tiring of ma I me—who meant to be to him one of the best of wives, and make his home like no other place on earth •—that he muat leave me for so paltry a rea¬ sou ?" And pretty Mra. Stanley looked quite dejected, aa ahe went about her work, and sought to drown her unpleasant thoughts in the performance of daily duties.
William Stanley took the next train for town, telling his wife, with & good-humored, yet meaning smile, that he ahould " be back again quite as soon as ahe would ba glad to see him."
"Gone I" ahe ejaculated; "and for how loug a time I know not. How dreary the houaysesmsl—And how shall I apeud all theae weary days f My housework ia but little, and—now onlymyself tooare for—will take but a few houra ofthe day. Let me see! I'll take up some of my girlish occupations. There is the ottoman cover tbat never waa finished; that pencil drawing of the old homestead, that I waa to complete and get framed; that handkerchief, hemstitched, for mother; aud then those aouga lhat William bought for me, the other day. Ahl I will finish these odd jobs. Then they willbe off my mind, and I ahall be so buay that I will not have time to he miserable. What a happy thought 1 Now, if I were a-real heroine, I shonld lia on the lounge all day, en disha¬ bille, with not a thought for anything but myself—thinking all the time,that 'Iwould not, if I could, be gay.* No, no; nothing of that kind will do for me. ' Away with mel¬ ancholy 1'" sang the little lady, as she took the duater, and proceeded to duat the parlor. Hor morning work finiahed, ahe went up stairs into the little ante-room, where things long forgotten were stored. Opening an old trunk, she seated herself on a small chest, I and commenced a review of ita oontents. A
•• .Kod still my sonl pursaea Us dreaming
Till thon retarn. Time ahall not move me to complaining. Our hearts nnaltered aye romaiulng.
Till thou return."
Charmed by tha influence of tha words and the music, Mrs. Stanley leaned her elbow upon the muaio-deak, and fell to thinking.— She was aroused by a touch upon her shoul¬ der, aud a kisa upon har forehead.
"Oh, WiUiam I ia that you? How you fr:ghtened me I I did not expect you ao loon." " Ah I then it waa uot my return for which you were waiting F Hey, my dear *"
Mra. Stanley bluahed ; but her happy face told the truth—" Whose retum should she be waiting for?"
" Yes, yea," said William ; " but I have not been among 'everlasting snowa* and ' foaming brooka.'"
" Well, well ; have it as you please," gaid his wife; "only I am so glad tbat you are here 1 But how did you get in withont my knowing it ?"
"Oh, 'out of Eight, out of mind," you know."
"Cruel man," she said, "you know nothing about it. Look arouud tha room, and see how hard I have tried to keep busy, and not to grow lonesome."
"Drawing, embroidery, sewing, reading,
muaic I Do you know that I fancied that
yoar occupations had been vastly different f"
" No ; what can you mean?" she asked.
" Have you forgotten a year ago at this
time?"
" Yea, yes—I believe so," she replied.— " But what of it T"
" Well, it so happens that I had uol for¬ gotten it," said her huaband. " Scrubbing and cleaning week, was it not ?"
"Perhaps so"' she said. "What made yoa remember it ?"
" Why, I aet it down in my memory as the unhappiest week I had known since our marriage," he replied ; " so this yaar I re¬ solved to be out of the way while the 'three days' revolution' was taking placa; ao I forced myself off to town."
" Oh, William, had you told me this before, you need not have gone, and I ahould have been spared some sad thoughts, and aome aad teara—some, not many, mind you I" " Ah I how is that ?" he inquired. " I have attended to no house cleaning aince you left," ahe replied.
" Indeed 1" he said- " Then the evil day is put off?"
"Not so," she replied. "I have no evil day. This year I resolved to have no more house-cleaning periods, but to pnt the houae in order in the most quiet way possibles-doing a little of the all-important house-cleaning every day, until all was completed, in order to save all thii diaagruaubla bustle and con¬ fuaion. An hour or two every morning I have given to it; aud it seems as if it had gone off with the help of magio. I like it so well that I think I ought to take out a patent for my new homeopathic treatment of the annual diaeaae—houae-cleaning."
" Do BO, best of wives," aaid her huaband, " and it ahall cure me of my roving habits of which I ahould he glad to be free ; for, if any man had cause to say, * There's no place like home,' it is your happy William."
