Sho began to contrast her present condition with the past three happy years she liaa spout with Mr. San- ford, ruse up befuro her mental vision.— Ah, happy year?, how quickly they glided away. Oh, Jftr<iwer?uowcanydi£treat me thus! Mrs. Sanford had for several days noticed his altered deportment, and indulged the hope ere this time, to have been able, to fathom tho eau«e of his dis- quietude—t-he change in his manner to- ward her. Sho plainly saw that ho shun- ned her society for the Erst time witheld from her his confidence. Up to tho present time she had ap- peared cheerful in his presence, but now that sho was alone, her suppressed anxi- ety brolco forth into agony she could hard- ly subdue. Slio had in some dogrco re- gained her tranquility, when Mr. San- ford came home to dinner. The moment his eye rested upon tho faco of his wife— he saw that she had been wooping, and his heart smote him for his conduct, yet he dreaded t o tell her the truth, he was a bankrupt. He knew her worth and con- fiding tenderness, but ho wished her dream of happiness to last as long as pos- sible, this led him to err i n judgment, and prevented him from tolling her unshrink- ingly that a u unfortunate speculation had reduced them from affluence to poverty.— But the traces of anxiety and suffering which lingered on the contcnance of Mrs. Sanford determined him; and seating himself beside her, he made a candid and full disclosure of the change in bis for- tune. \ And this is alK\ said Mrs. Sanford in a cheerful tono: \has this been the cause or your disquietude—is it the loss of a fow paltry dollars which has thrown so much gloom over our onco happy homo; and can it be that this i s what you have so much dreaded to tell mo?'' \But rememkr, Ada, you have had every comfort and convenience which wealth affords; and have always moved in the highest circles of sooiety, and now to step down from auenceffl to poverty and bo treated with neglectby those whom E.
