Provqft D'. Earner.] A MARRIED man, who had a lucrative [dace under gov ernment, kept a rniftrefs. His wife, who was young and beau tiful, with concern perceived him withdraw himfelf from home, and treat his children with indif ference; but having iound out the cause, (lie relolved to have a private interview with her rival. “ Madam, (said (he to her, a rnonglt other remarks,) I am the wife of M * * *, your lover : feeing you pofieffcd of so many a’tradions, 1 am almost inclined to forgive him his infidelity ; but as it is impoflible for me to live happy without him, I am come to obtain your succor against yourlclf. All mv husbands for tune proceeds from his place, which he may loon be deprived of. He has no other property to leave his children, excepting n good education ; ; rid it the little he has amafied by a pru dent economy, is spent from home, his children can hope for nothing from him; and they mull, looner or later, find them frlves irr indigent circumltances. With the beauty you pofiefs, you nr ay easily find a richer man th,n M**\ Let me then owe co you the return of a husband 1 de rly love : an honelt fa i ily will owe their happiness to you and will be ever grateful for it. ’’ What answer, think you, did the Financier’s Miftrels make to his Wife ? She addieff.cl her in a jelling tone, and fa.d, “ Madam, you have charms to fix the heart of your husband ; but fune fa e will have you and 1 to be r.vals, it is not for me to conltrain your bufband’s incli nations.” The lady retired, grievoully conc.trncd* for ading as lbe had done, and would nut mention the circumllances to her husband, for fear of incurring h s anger, and nuking the l>reach wider between them: but he was told of it by his rniftrefs with an air of insult; and this indecent raillery failed not to o pen the eyes of the husband, and made him renounce from that day to imperious and inlenfible a rniftrefs ; attach himfelf to his wife, whole conduit he admired a* well as the full fentimems with which ftn had inspired him ; and beftaw on his children thole carelfcs which were their due. ■Hat .an— imwiawwiMiß THE FIRM OF HUNTER &• MINIS, IS this day diflolvcd by mutual will, fert.
