'y ife’s last acquisition, in the way of a bosom friend, 1s Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray, with whom she became acquainted last summer, while we were boarding out of town. Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray had her carriage with her and created quite a sensation; in fact, every lady in the house was to become her confident; but the ‘amiable doportment of Mrs. Jones, combined, I doubt not, with her in- tellectua! accomplishments, rendered her the favorite; and she it was who daily occupled the Spareseat in the coach. and had the honor of advising Mre. Mowbray in those thousand grave Perplexities under Which women suffer. We returned to the city after the Mowbrays, but my wife, although usually very firm on questions of etiquette, waived her privileges on this occasion, and made the first call. Soe was graciously received and came home fn high Mrits. ari that evening she could do nothing but talk of Mrs. Mortimer Mowbray. “Such an elegant establishment,” she sald. “A footman with manners Itke a prince waited at the door. ‘The Grawing-room Was the perfection of luxury and taste.

Mrs. Jones soon after this began to act as if breoding over some design. which. not being quite matured, she deemed !t wise to ba siien® respecting. At last, however, the mighty Secret was gently broached. “I was thinking, Jones,” she said, one night, just as I was composing myself to sleep on my logivea party.

The two Misses Howell were amiable, intelli- fort ard pretty girls, in whom I took a particu- lar interest, because their father had once been an extensive shipping merchant, but having become reduced and died bankrupt, the sisters were compelled to earn @ livelihood by stand- ing in astore. They had numerous rich rela- Uons on whom they might have billeted_them- ‘selves, but, with @ spirit of proper independ- ence, they preferred to work for their maintenance, instead of eating the bread of charity. Ihad long nourished a romantic idea of seeing them married well, and had conse- quently made it a point always to invite them to our parties—to i them highly to the Young gentiemen there, and in every other —— way to assist in realizing my pet scheme. My wife, heretofore, had seconded me in my benevolent plan; but on the present occasion she hesitated to reply, and I knew at once there was something the matter. 2 “‘Ahem!” sbe said at Jast, clearing her throat, “Ahem!

She paused a moment in embarrassment, and perhaps even revolved the idea of yielding to my wishes, but, in the end she raised herself on her elbow, and said: but there’s a prejudice, you are aware, against girls who stand in stores; and who 3 bat What Mrs. Mowbray would take offence at my inyitmg such persons to mees her?

It expressed all the indignation which ber outraged bosom felt, at having the slightest suspicion cast upon her friend. Whea I came home to dinner that | day, I caw, at a glance, that something had oc- curred to rufile my wife's nerves, She had nothing whatever to say to me, but she scolded the servants and children, incessantly.
