door radiant with delight and liberty . Taking my arm , she laid her hand firmly and fully upon it ; we soon strode to Edvvardes ' 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 married a Fairy . 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 delight 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 multiplied . 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 banks of a sequestered stream , weaving bright fancy pageantries , or devising 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 ,
-b „ as for a moment he pushed aside the world , and concentrated all his b ' in one happy feeling . ¦ 8 She could win moments from him , she could not win his life ; she co 1 charm , she could not occupy him ! The painful truth came slowly over h as the deepening shadows fall upon a sunny Day until at last it is NighTNight with her stars of infinite beauty , but without the lustre and warmth of Day . •* " She drooped ; and on her couch of sickness her keen-sighted love per ceived , through all his ineffable tenderness , that same remoteness in his eves " which proved that , even as he sat there grieving and apparentl y absorbed in her , there still came dim remembrances of Care to vex and occupy his soul . " It were better I were dead , " she thought ; tc I am not good enough for him . " Poor child ! Not good enough , because her simple nature knew not the manifold perplexities , the hindrances of incomplete life ! Not good enough , because her whole life was centred in one whose life was 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 night was starless , and he alone . Vivian .

Cafitat . 1 Punishment in Pjittssia . —Under the revised penal code of Prussia , it is provided that executions are no longer to be public ; the sentence of" the l ; uv is carried into effect in Jin enclosed space attached cither to the prison or souk ; oilier Imilriin # , as may he appointed . Though capital punishment is seldom inflicted in Prussia , it is by no means abolished ; if ; remains on the statute book for crimes of the deepest kind ; and though in most eases the sentence is commuted to imprisonment for life , the power of indicting it is retained . The iirst execution under the new system , in the district of Iterlin , took place sit the prison of Moabit , about n mile from the city . The criminal wits si peasant named Laniiii , condemned to death for the murder of his uncle . The regulations of the new code wen ; nlxictly observed . They require that tin ; incinl > crs of the Court which pronounces the sentence shall also be present at its fulfilment , together with the public prosecutors , or Ktaatsanwalte , of the district and city criminal courts , and a deputation of the commune in which the prison or place of execution may be situate . On flu ; present occasion all the persons compelled to attend ex ojjicio were present ; a lew jMii'HonN connected with the several courts were also admitted by tickets , hut the public were kept in ignorance both of the place and hour of the execution . The yunl of the new prison in front of the south-west tower was appointed . A body of mounted police guarded the external approaches ; but there was scarcely any occasion for their services , very few per-« ms having assembled . A written plarurd jtosted in „ -.

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

THEATRE—BRIDLINGTON QUAY . The Lessee has the honor to announce that the play of " HAMLET" will be presented on Feiday 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 !"
