Blue Eyes Behind the Veil.
Mr. Edgo was late at breakfast. That
was not hii unusual occurrence, and
lie was disposed to be cross; which
was likewise nothing new. So lie re
tired behind the newspaper, and de
voured his eggs and toast without
vouchsafing any reply to the remarks
of the fresh-looking little ludy oppo
site, to wit: Mrs. Edge. But she was
gathering together her forces for the
final onslaught, and when at length
Mr. Edge had got down to the last
paragraph, and laid aside the paper, it
came.
'Dear, didn't you soy you were going
to have a hundred dollars for my new
furs, to-day ?'
What furs?' (rather shortly was
this spoken,) 'Pshuw 1 What is the use
of being so extravagant? I have no
money to lay out in useless follies.
The old ones are good enough for any
sensible woman to wear.'
Mrs. Edge, good, meek little soul
that she was, relapsed into obedient
silence. She only sighed a soft inward
sigh and preseuily begau a new at
tack. 'Henry, will you go with me to my
a lilt's to-night?'
'Can't you go alone?'
'Alone, how it would look 1' Mrs.
E's temper for she, hud one, though it
did not often parade itself was arous
ed. 'You are so neglectful to those lit

you never walk with me, nor pick tip

as you once did.'
'Well, a fellow can't be forever wait

Edge.

'Pshaw,' said the husband peevishly.
-Sow don t be silly, Maria.
And lu the stage, yesterday, you
never asked me if 1 was warm enough,
or put my shawl around me wh le Mr.
ISrown was so altectionate to his wile.
It was mortifying enough, llcury ; iu.
deed it was.'
I didn't know women were such
fools,' said Mr. Edge as he drew m his
overcoat, to escape the tempest which
was lust approaching. 'Am I the sort
of a man to make a ninny of myself
doing the polite to any sort of a female
creature 7 Did you ever kuuw me to
be conscious whether a woman hud on

Maria eclipsed the blue eves behind
a little pocket-handkerchief, and Hen
ry the savage, banged the door loud
enough to give Betty in the kitchen a
nervous start.
'Raining agaiu ! I do believe we are
going to have a second edition of the
deluge, said Mr. h,dgo to himself, that
evening, as he ensconced six left of
iniquity into the southweet corner of
the car at city hall. '(Jo ahead, con
ductor, cau't you see we are lull, and
it is dark already r
'lu one minute, sir. said the con
ductor, as he helped a little woman,
Willi a basket, on board. '.Now, sir,
move up a little, if you please.'
Mr. Edge was exceedingly comfor
table and did not want to move, but
the light of the lamp falling ou the
fiearly forehead and shining, golden
niir of the comer he altered his mind
and moved up.
' W hat loveiy eyes,' quoth he men
tally, as he bestowed a single acknowl
edging smile.' 'Ileal violet, the very
color I most admire ! Bless me ! what
business have old men like me to be
thinking about eyes. There she has
drawn a confounded veil over her fa-.-e,
and the light is as dim as a tallow dip;
but those were pretty eyes!'
The fair possessor of those blue eyes
shivered slightly and drew her man
tilla close around her shoulders.
'Are you cold, Mis? Pray honor
me by wearing my shawl. 1 do not
need it myself.'
Mie diu uot refuse she murmured
some faint apology for troubling h.m,
but it was uot a rctusal.
'Mo trouble not a oil,' said he, with
alacrity, arrunginj it on her tapering
b'hnulders, and then as the young lady
huuded her lure to the conductor, he
said to himself, "what a slender little
huiid! if there is anything admire iu
a woman it is a prctiy hand. Wonder
what kind of a mouth the has got? it
must be a delightful one if it corres
ponds with the' hair and eyes plague
take the vt il.'
But 'plague,' whoever that mystical
power muy be, did not take potsensiou
of the veil, so Mr. Edge's curio.ity
about the blue eyed dauiecl rejiaiueil
unsatisfied.
'Have you room euoiii'h, Miss? I
fear you are crowded. Pray it a lit
tle closer to me.'
'Thank you, sir,' was the soft reply
coming from behind the veil, as Mr.
Edge reflected like an angel from a
dark cloud. And his heart gave a large
thump as the pretty shoulder touched
his owu shaggy overcoat iu a hesitat
ing sort of a way.
'WidwJIy, this i gfcttiag uih rn
raantic,' thought he, and then with an
audible whisper, 'what would Maria
say ?'
The rest of that long, dreary ride
was delicious with the shoulder Against
his own. Hour gallantly ho jumped
up to pull the strap for her hy some
streak it happened to be at the very
street where ho intended to stop. Un
der the circu instances we hardly blame
him, when the cars stopped so sud
denly that she caught at Ins arm for

Miss, as our path lies iu the same

relieving her of her burden, as he
sp-,ke; 'and and may be you'd find
less difficulty il you take mv arm.
Well, wasn t it delightful r fllr. lvlgo
forgot the wet street and pitchy daik
ness he thought he was walking on
roses. Only as he approached his
door he began to feel a little nervous,
and wished the little incognito would
not hold on so tight, suppose Maria
should be at the window on the look
out, as she often was, how would she
interpret matters? lie couldn t make
her believe that he only wanted to be
polite to tne fair traveler. Hesides,
Ids sweeping declaration in the morn
ing she would be sure to recall them.
As he stopped at the right number.
and bude her adieu, he wns astonished
to see her also run up the steps to en
ter. Gracious Apoilol he burst into n
cold perspiration at tho idea of the
young lady's error.
I think you must hove made a mis
take, Miss, he stammered; 'this can't
be your house.
But it was too late she was already
the brilliantly lighted hall, and
turning around threw oif her dripping
habiliments, und made a low curtsey,
'Ahy, its my wife! gasped air,
Edee.
.'And happy to see that you hive
not furcrotten all your gallantry to
wards us ladies,' pursued the merciless
little puss, her blue eyes (they were
pretty) all in a dance with suppressed
roL'utrv.
Edije looked from ceiling to floor in
search of a loop-hole to retreat, but
the search was unavailing.
Well,' he said in the most sheepish
tones, .'it s the fir.'t. time I wns ever
polite to a ludy in the cars, aud hang
me if it shtui t be the last.
'You see, my dear,' said the ecstatic
little lady, 'I didn t expect to be de
layed so long, and hud uot any idea I
sheuld meet with such attention in the
cars, aud that from my husband, too!
(.fondness gracious, how Auut Priscilla

'If you tell that old harpy I will
never hear the lust ot it, suid tune in

'Very probable,' was the provoking
reply ot his wife,
'Now, look here, darling,' said Mr,
Edge, eoaxingly, 'you wou't ry any

to be laughed at by all the world.
say, Marin, you tdiall have the pretti
est furs in New York if you will only
keep quiet you shall, Ujion my honor.'
1 lie terms were satisfactory, and
Maria capitulated who wouldn't?
And that is the way she got those
splendid furs that filled the hearts of
all her female friends with envy. And
perhaps what made Mr. Edge such a
courteous husband ever since.
Fallacies as to Diet.
A gentleman writing of a "long" ac

sitting in the stall of a theatre when
the curtain r, we and the actors advanc
ed to their postiona. A cry of "Jowu
in front" became general throughout
the audience. Their attention was
directed to the tall H , who feeling
himstlf the object of r?mark thought
he was reqoi.ed to pellle a little,
looking as if he would like to settle
through the floor, he presided to
to raise himself to a standing psitio(i,
in such manner, however, as to con
vey an impression that there no end
to him At last he did get himself
straightened out at full length, aImU
glancing at the astonished audi-nce, he
very delilwrately remarked: "Gentle
men. to satisfy you that I was sitting
down, I uow stand up. " A burst, id'
laughter and applause succeeded, the
audience ami actors became convulsed,
the curtain descended rspiilly, the
msiirjer, with beaming countenance,
came loraard and, amid the wildest
applause, conducted the gentleman to
a private box.
It is height of meanness to impale

people are unscrupulous. The editor

A fallacy, in regard to diet, is to
suppose that the natural appetite is
not the best guide ns to the quantity
and quality of our food.
It is true that the appetite docs
sometimes become perverted. It is true
i lhat it does become sometimes a symp
tom of disease But theso cases are
exceptional.
Hideous doctrines hare been taught
on this subject. We have been solemn
lv told to rise from the table a bun-
izrv as when we eat down. We have
been told to be always ready for
a meal in other words, to live in
state of perpetual hunger. We have
been told to eat thoso things which wc
most hate and to avoid those things
that we most love that to have
longing for any article is the very rea
son why we should be denied it.
These doctrines are monstrous. They
are unworthy of the nineteenth centu
i ' t . s r ,
rv. 1 liev are a libel on tne reutor
who gave us taste and appetite, in or
der that we might know what to e.it
and drink, and gave ns also judgment
to direct nnnetite and taste when the
system hecemes diseased.

nerversion. the nnnetite is, on tne
whole, a better euide in selecting food
and in measuring its quantity, than nil
the books on hveiene that have ever
been written.
The practice of weighing the food
which was introduced to the world by
the example and teachings of Cornaro
the Italian, cannot be loo strongly re
probated. It is impossible for the
seales to trll us how much to eat. The
quantity of food that we need depends
on the amount of labor that we do, on
the nature of the constitution, on our
mental moods aud on the quality and
variety of the food which is served.
To weigh or measure the lool habit
ually is not only silly, unnecessary
and useless; it is actually a crime. It
wastes valuably In.urs that should be
better employed. It makes us miser
able, nnd that fact alone is argument
enough against it. It brings on iudi
testion and all other woes, and there
fore prevents us from (retting the best
advantage of what wo eat.
Another common fallacy in regard
to diet, is tho theory that one or two
kinds of food, at each meal, are more
easily digested, aud more wholesome
than a large and palatable variety.
Our books on health tell us over
and over again that two articles at
each meal nre sufficient, and that we
shall be liable to eat more if the table
is covered with a generous variety,
My advice is emphatic and clear.
Let "there he as generous, agreeable
aud attractive a variety at each meal
we can afford. Let the limits of that
variety be determined by our purses
our tastes, our appetites, and our tal
ent in cooking, and nut by the books.
It is possible for nearly every fnmi
ly to have a good variety of food nt
least, at the principal incut of the day,
without great expense. Cookery is
one of the fine arts. It should be made
.. ...i .ii
a study. e nave goou dooks ou
cookery at the present time, and every
young wife who loves her household,
and every young maiden who hopes to
have a household to love, should study
the best works ou this subject, just as
they grammer, arithmetic and geogra
phy in the schools ; aud, above all,
should practice the urt with their own
hands at home.
Genius never made any ludy a good
cook. The art is acquired by close
study and patier.t practice, by many
and repeated failures. A good cook
can make a pleasant and healthful
lueal out of a few simple articles. A
poor cook will make a wietched din
ner, even ftiih the whole market at
her disposal. I hope to seo the day
when the art of preparing food will oe
taught iu our schools, like other im-
portuut branches; when young girls
and young wives will go to the cook
iug-school as they now go to the dauu
iug halt, and when even ladiesot fash
ion will boast of their bread und their
puddings as they now boast of their
acquisitions iu music and French.
A variety of food is more healthful
than one or two kinds, because it is
more easily digested. This is a law of
nature. Appetite teaches us to c mi
bine tweet with sour, vegetables with
meat, dry food with wet, etc.
A meal composed simply of dry
Graham bread, or of potatoes, or of
fruit even, is far, far less palatable and
es digestible than a meal composed
of all three varieties at once. Science
aud experience are here iu perfect ac
cord, If, therefore, wo must rat rniidy, let
it he with or just after our meals. It
we iiiu' eat sweets iu the evening, let
us have sour fruit apples, or lemons,
or oranges at the same time, and we
shall be less injured. We should nev
er eat a large quantity, either of sweet
or ot sour substances, ou a perfectly
empty stomach.
Still another common fallacy is,thut
hruin-wurker need less nutriment tluiu
those who live bv their muscles.
This idea would never have been en
terlaiued if people had depended on
their own observation and . xiwriitnce.

Another Chance.
Doubtless all of the readers of
Mosaic have heard the story of the
young mini who applied to Dean Rich
mond for a position as conductor on
tho New York Central Uailroad, and
was asked if he hud a gold watch, dia
mond brenst-pin, nnd other similar
trinkets. When ho replied in the neg
ative, Dean emphatically declined his
services, saying :
"All our conductors are supplied
with these articles, nnd we do not w ish
to stand nur new expense in that line."
This reminds us of a story, told with
great gusto by a jovial friend in Lew
York.since gone to his last account we
hope St. Peter was good lm lured to
him. "Many years ago," he used to
say, "Hank Miller was the great Om

Hank's, 'busses were going on all the

stall, and commenced to make up his
account.
"That's four Ehil'n for Hank, nnd
here's four for me," he said, laying
them in two different piles. "There's
four shill'n for Hank, and four for
me," and thus ho continued until thrf
money wns divided intotwo piles, with
an odd hslf dollar iu Johnny's hand.
"How's this?" says Johnny; "who

money, which monkey shoved in tin:
drawer. The man then took the sad
