A round of bridal parties succeeded the mar riage of George Baldwin and Miss Smith; every j one of which served only to heighten George’s alarmsand to depress his spirits. He could not discover that marriage had abated in the smallest degree, his xviie’s love of general ad miration and flattery. The delight which she j felt at the attentions of the young gentlemen, was visible to more eyes than his; as was plain ly evinced by the throngs which attended her wheresoever she moved. Occasionally their assiduities assumed a freedom which was well ( calculated to alarm, and to inflame one whose notions of married life were much less refined than those which George had ever < nt- it lined ; but there was an apology for them, «w hich he knew he would be forced to adn.it as valid, flimscyas it was, in truth ; namely, “they were only those special attentions which were due to the queen of a bridal party.” Another cosider ation forced him to look in silence upon those liberties. His wife had taken no off nee at them ; she cither did not repell them at all, or she repelled them in such a good humored wav, that she encouraged, rather than prevented the repetition of them. For him therefore to have interposed, xvould have been considered an act of supererogation. I o the great deljglit of George, the parties ended; and the young couple went out on a visit to Lagrange, the residenceof George’s parents, jOn their way thither, Evelina was secluded, of j course, from the gaze of every 7 person but her husband, and her attachment now became as much too ardent, as it had before been too cold. If, at their stages, he left her for a moment, she was piqued at his coldness, or distressed at his i neglect. It he engaged in n conversation with j an acquaintance or a stranger, he was sure to be interrupted by his wife’s waiting-maid, f lora, with “ Miss ’\ ima say, please go da. sir ’’’and when lie went, lie always found her in tears, or I in a pet, at having been neglected so lonir by j him, “when he knew she had no friend or com— ' panion to entertain her, but himself.” j G urge had been acquainted with the ladies of the houses at which they stopt; they all | esteemed iiiiu, and xvere all anxious to be made acquainted with his wife ; but sh< could not be I dtawn from tier room, from th time sheentcred ■ a house until she rose to hax it All her meals were taken ir. her loom,an Geoigc wasrebuk ed b. her because he would not b How her example.

But “sac < ould not un i deist.md that ag< ml man is at liberty to iic -1 gleet ms wife, tor‘humble,but \aluableat quain l lances.’ ” H hen they reached Lagrang , they received as »xarm a welcome Hom George’s patents, a> parents laboring under their apprehensions could gixr; but Mary and lanh.i, having no thmg to mar their pleasun', (tor they had not been permitted to know the quali cations which Grorgt’s last left rs had annexed to his first) received her with all the delight which the best hearts and understandi gs could f< < I, at w el coming to tin' family, in the character of i sis ter, the beautiful, amiable, accomplished, nitel lig nt, wealthy Miss Smith. In anti< ipation of her coming, the girls had finished up ih< u histo ry, philosophy, geography, astronomy and bota ny, for her special entertamm nt —or rather, that they might appear a little at home when then new sister should invite them to a ramble . over the fields ot setenee. Ihe I ibor answer cd not its p rposc, however; i.velma would i neither invite nor be invited to any such tam ' bk-s.

And I presume .Mr. Baldwin is old enough to choose for himself.” “Ah, xvell note I Anmti he’d better ’ave took my Nance,” said the old man, ith a dry smile. “ Georgv, my son, i’m afraid you’ve got your self into had business; but I wish you much happiness, my boy. Come, neighbor Baldwin, let’s go take a look at your firm.” “Oh no,” said old Mr. Baldwin, “we will not go till I make my daughter better acquainted with you. She is unused to our countrv man ners, and therefore does not understand them. Evelina, m\ dear, "r. Dawson is on*-our best and kin- est neighbors, and you and he must not break upon your first acquaintance He was only joking Georg-' in what he said, and had no i< ea that you would take it seriously.” “V\ t'll, sir,” said I velii.a, “if Mr. Dawson will say that he did not int>nd to wound my feelings, I'm willing to forgive him.” “Ob, God love ymir pretty little soul of you,” said th" old man, “I dal’nt even know vou had air feelings; I ut as to the forgiving part, why, that’s neither here nor there” IL rc Evelina rose indignantly, and left the room. “Mell Geor- x, rnv son.’’ continued the old man, “I’m s> rry your wife’s so touchy; but you must net firget ol< daddy Dawson ( ome mv boy, to otr house, like you used to, when you and Sammy and Xancx used to sit roun’d the bowl ot butterm.lk under the bii/ oak that covered Mammy Daxvson’s dairv.

M st of the neigh >ors who cim io greet Georg<‘upon his return to Lagrange, shared Mr I -axv.son’s fate. One wanted to span Eve lina’s waist, for he deelaied “she was th-' littlest cie.iter round the waist he ever seed;” another would “buss her, because she was George’s wife, and because it was the fn-t chance he ev ci ti.id m all his hi to buss ‘the quality 7 ’;” a j fliird proposed a swap of wives with George; I and all made some remark too b'unt for Eveli na's refined ear.

Li the up cwntrv, I' 1 hdoTti- always found it thronged with gay company, reveilmg in all the dainties of his closet, smoke house, sideboard and pantry. He communica ted ms discoveiies to his wife, but she found no liifticulty m accounting satisfactorily for all that he had seen. “Clary’s husband’had ak s supplied her with every thing she wanted, biota Lad a hundred ways of getting money; and Billy (the carriage driver) was aPways re ceiving litt.e presents from her and others.” At the end of. three weeks aunt Clary an nounced th t the flour was out. “Now,” said Geoigc, “1 hope you are satis* tied that it is upon your flour, and not upon her husband’s that aunt Clary gives her enter tainments.” “Mhy, law me said Evelina; “I think it has lasted wonderfully. You recollect ma and pa I have been here most every day ” “Ila they boarded with us,” said George, “we could not have-consumed a barrel of flour in three weeks.” In qui< k succ< ssioncame the news that the tea, coffee, and sugar were out; all of which Ev< lina thought, “had lasted wonderfully.” It would be useless to recount the daily dif ferences of George and his wife. In nothing could they agree; and the consequence was, that at the end of six weeks they had come to downright quarrelling; through all which Eveli na .-ought and received, the sympathy of Miss Flora and aunt Clary. • bout this time the Superior Court commen ced its session in the city; and a hundred like favors received from the judge and the bar, im posed upon George the absolute necessity of giving a dinner to his brethren. He used every irecaution to pass it off well. He gave his wife our days notice; he provided every thing him self, of the best that the town would afford; ho became all courtesy and affection to his wife, and all respect and cheerfulness to aunt Clary , in the interim; be promised all the servants a andsome present each, if they would acquit liii niselvcs well upon this occasion, and char- I jed them all, over and over, to remember, that Hi time between two, and half past three, was all that the bar could allow to his entertainment; and consequently, dinner must be upon the ta ble precisely at two. f he day came and the company assembled. Evelina, attired like a queen, received them in the drawing room; and all were delighted with her. All we: e cheerful, talkative and happy, iwo o’clock came, and no dinner—A quarter afti i—a id no dinner. The conversation began t< Hag a little. Half past two rolled round— ami no dinner—Conversation sunk to tempe rate, «nd George rose to intemperate. Three quart-' rs past two came—but no dinner—Con xeisation sunk to freezing and George rose to ■> v< r heat. At this interesting moment, while ■ <■ x. a- sauntering every w ay, George sauntered I 1 - ; *i I i wife, xvha was deeply engaged in a con versation , i h his brother Paine, a grave, intel ligent xoung man, and he detected her in the act ot repealing, verbatim c! literatim, the pret ty s< ntencc s which first subdued his heart. “ Good Lord !” muttered Geoigc to himself; “.!< iikinson, in the A icar cf Wakefield, xvith Lis one sentence of learning, revived !” He rushed out of the room, in order to in quire hat delayed dinner: and on leaving the mmng room was met at the door by Flora, with two pale blue, dry, boiled fowls; boiled almost to ismeinberment, upon a dish large enough to contain a goodly sized shout, their legs stick ing straight out with a most undignified straddle and bowing xxith a bewitching grace and elasti. ity to G( <>rg , with every step that Flora made. Behind her fellowed Billy, with a prodigious roast turk x, upon a dish that was almost con- < cal <1 by its contents, his legs extended like Hi 7 ' f'»v.

Ihe old gentleman was ham somcly adorned with a large black twine m < kl i< c, and through a spacious window, that by cl ancc or design the cook had left open, the light poured into his vacant cavity gloriously. j « ( orge Mood petrified at the sight; nor did l.e wak from his stupor of amazement until he | was f< ai.-ed y a burnt round of Loef and a raw l< g ol mutb n, making by him for the same port tn xxin< ii I'm fowls and turkey had been mored.

George; how an; body gwinc cuok ting good when you hurry ’em so '!’’ (bi rg< looked for something to throw at her ; 1 ut fortuii .t- ly found nothing. He letiiuK-d to t!,< house and found Lis wife < nt< rtaming the company v.ith a never endin'* * uata, on the piano. Dinner was at length announced, and an axv i;.l > "lit it xvas when lull spread. George ma ! e as good apologies as he could; but his xx iti x.a- not inthe least disconcerted—lndeed, -he sec ed to assume an air of seh complni -ance, at the profusion and richness which, crowned her beard. The gentlemen ate but little, owing, as flic said to their having all eaten a very hearty bie.'ihl ’.-t that morning. George followed Li gne-ts to the court bouse, craved a continuance of Lis cases for the evening, on thegound of in dispo-ition; and it was granted, with an unac countable display of syi.'ipatby He returned eml arked in a quarrel with his wifo v.hi< h lasted until Evelina’s exhausted nature sunk t sleep under it, at three the next mor ning.
