Al ter a while, too. seeing that the fault was pr< b bly curabie. >he bethought her self how she sh uid proceed m order to break him of his disagreeable h..bit. Fortune lav red her. One day a lady, ( lie of her tin st valued friends called t invite Joe and Mary to a tea-party at her house. "it will be a small affair,” she said, but very pleasant, 1 think, \ouoniy are wanting to make the c.rcle ol har mony complete.” “Well,” said Mary. “I will come Mrs Vane; on < lie c tidal n.” “Condition! is it come to this, that you must make coud.tious '( Well, uty dear, makey-Air demand.” ■•'ihe c luLtioii is that you will allow me to furnish all the reireshoicuts.” “Well, that is au <dd idea !

Everything came off tin that baking day precisely as Mary c >uld have wished it. Her bread was light and sweet, and white as a >w-flake with justa gold an brown line of crust surr muling it; her cakes were perfection ; her biscuit crisp and delicious. Then she knew that her preserved fruits were n.ce; and if ever there was asp mge-ctike more like solid iff and froth, she would like to see it. Everything w s sent in to Mrs Y r aneon YVedn *sd <y afternoon. and she had all Thursday to devote to her dress Mary looked very pretty that night at the tea party, her eves sh i>e with a purpose, and she had just excitement enough ab tut it to redden her checks in a very becoming manner. Add to this th it she was dressed with neatness and taste, and you will be unwilling to be lieve me when I say she was the belle ot the occisi ui. Joe videntlr thought so himself, for. strange to say, he made no remarks up n her appearance that night calculated to 1 wer her selfesteem; but contrariwise, gazed at her from time to time with the most profound satislac ti :n. But ‘-murder will out.” It came on this occasion, when tiwy sat and iwn to supper. Everybody was d.iiglited there had n t been such an unexcep tional “tea” in that neig'iborhoo 1 for i 1- rig time. Country people are very t nd of their "teas , ttiay con pare . ne with neither with admirable c »nn is seurship. This one was a triumph. “Mrs. Vane, you are the perfection of bread ui ikers. lour b.scu.ts are quite beautiful. Were ever such made be fore ? How do you manage it. Mrs V ane ? What lovely sponge-c ike.” Mrs. Vane and Mary occasionally changed glances and smiled, but nobody ii tic. and it. Joe h id bien bihaving so beautifully ill the evening that Mary began to be i fra id her plans h.drued. lie earn ut ii w. h ovever, greatly to Mary's sat si I ct i ■ n. . "This is a feast, indeed.” he said. "A fell iw is fortunate who has a wif that can make such bread as this, to si\ 11 thing of the sp nge cake , i can t see why it is. Mary . y u improve, it istru will give y u ered.t tor that, but 1 n't see wby it is that all women can a t have the knack that Mrs Vane ha: t cooking t<» perfect! n. If yu c »ul ike such bread as this, Mary, y u* nob nd would be a ha;py man.” Mrs V ine 1 inked at .na y and Mary ooked at Mrs Vane! Light had broken upon the mind of the latter. it book like a fl :sh of lightning, and then then was an explosi n —n tif thunder, but of 1 mgliter. Joe io k dup amazed i e was a man vh i p tted his dignity ci ormously V\ hat did tlmse women mean to augh , at a sobir, s risible remark o his? i articularly. what d.d Mary mean, to so rifle with the respect she owed her him b nd ? lie began to grow red. ind and Mrs V ane saw it presently, and c .me to h.s nd Mary's relief; for p >or Mary had begun to he a little frightened at ii •access of her own scheme. Pile did ii t like Joe to be angry, at any r. te. "Mr Starr,” saib Mrs. Vane, "Ia truly glad that you like this excelleu cookery, for it is all your wife s. I>\ your own showing, you ought to be ; very happy man.” Here the while con pany caught th in feet i: n. and joined in the laugh against Joe. It was of no use to get angrj w.th so many pe< pie ;*so before long Joe j inod the chorus himselt. And so the tea party broke up with die greatest good nature all round, aid -joe went home with a less n he never forgot—for it was the last time that hi: fj: 9 wite ever heard any complaints from him. He is now the most easily pleased if any husband in ten miles around. How is That lor High? A few days since a waggish gentle man was walking down ljruadway, N*w V< rk. When <pp site 'trinity Lhurcf , whose spire t p is five .hundred ad sixty feet from tiie ground, he me a German, and the following dialogue en sued : "Good morning.

While thus ! standing, with a smile on his face, a friend cone along, and he thought to 1 give him the same go d.thing, and have inoiher langh. and said : "Hollo. Fritz —how you vus, ih?” y "Goot.

The Toledo Commercial tolls tiio fol lowing story:» "A German girl, a; p mostly alo.it 22 years of age, named ChrGtida Zent passed through this city cu route For New York city, where she ex pects to meet and marry her lover, Henri Gorzman, who is expected to arrive by steamer from Germany to-morrow. r l he girt sa»d she had engaged herself to Henri tour years ago in hu i auki i d,‘ but neither liad the means to go to keep mg house, so the ceremony of marriag. was deferred until fortune should smile upon them, and each began to devote every penny earned to the accomplish ment of the desired object. ‘•So in after Christina’s people came to this country and settled near Chicago, where they now are, having amassed quite a competency trom the saloon business and the manufacture of Lim burger cheese. Just as Christina had got everything ready to send for her Henri he was called out ai a soldier, and .it the tight before Metz received a shot ui the left arm, which caused it to be amputated. He applied for and received a discharge, and as sum as he was able ui travel she sent turn money to pay hia passage to New York, and n >w goes to meet him. marry him. and c induct him to Illinois, where a partnership in her fathers business awaits him. She is a bright, pretty-looking lass, and no doubt will make Henri a good wife.
