door radiant with delig ht and liberty . Taking my arm , she laid her hand firmly and fully upon it ; we soon strode to Edwardes ' s , and she threw herself into the arms of Mrs . Edwardes with a greedy affection which I had noticed in her before . I hardly know which is the more painful sight—this young life panting to burst the cage which is drawing round it ; or the life , like that of , the eldest sister , subdued to its cage . The English call themselves a " free people : " I feel amongst them like the wolf in the fable , whom the house-dog invites to the comfort and safety of a civilized home : the mark of the collar round the Englishman ' s neck warns me off .

The Fairy Wife An Apologue. A Merchant M...
THE FAIRY WIFE AN APOLOGUE . A merchant married a Faiiy . He was so manly , so earnest , so energetic , and so loving , that her heart was constrained towards him , and she gave up her heritage in Fairyland to accept the lot of woman . They were married ; they were happy ; , and the early months glided away like the vanishing pageantry of a dream . Before the year was over he had returned to his affairs ; they were important and pressing , and occupied more and more of his time . But every _evening as he hastened back to her side she felt the weariness of absence
more than repaid by the delig ht of his presence . She sat at his feet , and sang to him , and prattled away the remnant of care that lingered in his mind . But his cares multi plied . The happiness of many families depended on him . His affairs were vast and complicated , and they kept him longer away from her . All the day , while he was amidst his bales of merchandise , she roamed along the hanks of a sequestered stream , weaving bright fancy pageantries , or devisin g airy gaieties with which to charm his troubled spirit . A bright and sunny being , she comprehended nothing of Care .
Life was abounding in her . She knew not the disease of reflection ; she felt not the perplexities of life . To sing and to laugh—to leap the stream and beckon him to leap after her , as he used in the old lover days , when she would conceal herself from him in the folds of a water lily—to tantalize and enchant him with a thousand capricious coquetries—this was her idea of how they should live ; and when he gently refused to join her in these childlike gambols , and told her of the serious work that awaited him , she raised her soft blue eyes to him in baby wonderment , not comprehending what he meant , but acquiescing , with a sigh , because he said it .
She acquiesced , but a soft sadness fell upon her . Life to her was Love , and nothing more . A soft sadness also fell upon him . Life to him was Love , and something more ; and he saw with regret that she did not comprehend it . The wall of Care , raised by busy hands , was gradually shutting him out from her . If she visited him during the day she found herself a hindrance and retired . When he came to her at sunset he came preoccupied . She sat at his feet , loving his anxious face . He raised tenderly
the golden ripple of loveliness that fell in ringlets on her neck , and kissed her soft beseeching eyes ; but there was a something in his eyes , a remote look , as if his soul were afar , busy with other things , which made her little heart almost burst with uncomprehended jealousy . She would steal up to him at times when he was absorbed in calculations , and , throwing her arms round his neck , woo him from his thought . A smile , revealing love in its very depths , would brighten his anxious face ,

Not eo i \ enough , because her whole life was centred in one whose life w scattered ! And so she breathed herself away , and left her husband to all his gloom of Care , made tenfold darker by the absence of those gleams of tenderness which before had fitfully irradiated life . The ni ght was starless , and he alone - Vivian .

SHAKSPEARE _AGAIIN IN THE PROVINCES The amusing Playbill I printed last week , as a curiosity of the Literature of Managers , turns out to be no such novelt y . It appears that the Provincial Managers have a touch of that scribbling disease , by Juvenal named cacoethes scribendi . Punn is abroad—in lieu of the Schoolmaster ! A correspondent sends me the following specimen of an unappreciated Schlegel . HAMLET !

THEATRE—BRIDLINGTON Q UAY . The Lessee has tbe honor to announce that the play of " HAMLET" will be presented on Fkiday next . This Tragedy since the time of its birth has been the wonder of Europe . The transcendent genius of Shakespear is here summed up , and shines with a lustre unapproachable by any writer of either ancient or modern times . We may say of it , with the Bard , " Time cannot change it , nor custom wither its infinite variety !"
