ove contrived, in so serious a moment, to supply me with a reason for mirth. "Is there by any chance a law to prevent the husband from undressing himself?" enquired beautiful C---- C----. "No, darling angel, no; and even if there were such a barbarous law, I would not submit to it." In one instant, I had thrown off all my garments, and my mistress, in her turn, gave herself up to all the impulse of natural instinct and curiosity, for every part of my body was an entirely new thing to her. At last, as if she had had enough of the pleasure her eyes were enjoying, she pressed me against her bosom, and exclaimed, "Oh! dearest, what a difference between you and my pillow!" "Your pillow, darling? You are laughing; what do you mean?" "Oh! it is nothing but a childish fancy; I am afraid you will be angry." "Angry!

"Never, because it is too dear for people in our position. My daughter has such a wish to go, that, God forgive me for saying it! she would give herself, I truly believe, to the man who would take her there once." "That would be paying very dear for it," said my little wife, laughing. "Dearest, we could make her happy at less cost, for that hurts very much." "I was thinking of it, my love. Here is the key of the box, you can make them a present of it." "Here is the key of a box at the St. Moses Theatre," she said to the hostess; "it costs two sequins; go instead of us, and tell your
