SAUCE ROB THE GOOSE.


SAUCE FOB THE GOOSE.
Mr.. Edward Upper rat alone in hi
spacious parlor, his head enveloped i,
8 cloud Of tobacco smoke that pulled i,
volumes from between his angry lip
and curled gracefully from the daintil,
Oolored bowlof his elegant meerschaum
for the said Edward was q connoisseu,
IN pipes, and among the many that h
had laid away as he took up with q new
love Of more exquisite design than th,
former, this special one had never los
favor in his eight; and whenever he
found himself especially moody. thil
wa the n that was always fshed ou'
Of some obscure recess, and filed and
Lit TO soothe his mind to q proper state
Of complacency.
Poor fellow? He had been married
but the short sa,lce of eight months,
and already he felt himself sadly neg
lected; and yet how could this be-
The dainty slippers that adorned his
elegantly formed feet wero the work OF
his wite's hands; some elaborate work
manship was also displayedin the crown
Of . hat tossed csrelessly into . corner,
evidently the work Of the Same loving
hands, and everywhere might be seen
evidences Of that Same kindly rigor that
makes home, to : man, that place Of al
places nearest to heaven.
Poor Edward Everything had gone
q happily for him until with
a the past week, when an old
friend Of Dollyis dolly, BY the way,
Was Mrs. Tupper), came to the city
and Dolly, dear, kind Dolly, took him
n and made muck Of him, much to the
delectation Of the said friend, and muoh

band.
Dolly meant nothing by this. Frank
Olmstead was very old friend whom
abe had known Tor many years, and her
dear little heart could not conceive how
ii could be wrong for her to make much
Of him whom she had kno an long be,
fore Edward came to be the bright par.

Edward had borne 1T patiently, new
er uttering . syllable Of reproach
and our dear Dolly was probabl,
all unaware Of how the poor fellow
heart was bleeding; and though hel
kisses we're Al warm as ever, still HI
thoughthed detected q GOODNESS that mad,
his heart bleed and his brow darken,
and almost made his food 60 down the
wrong way. Strange. is it not, what .
close affinity there is between q mans
heart and his stomach?
This evening Dolly had capped the
climax by actually going to the opers
with Olmstead, and leaving her liege
lord to the tender mercies OF the hired
girl and the evening paper.
