On a lovely afternoon, when the balmy air and the fresh, bright toil-ef-s of the ladies imvle a kind of gala day, even ou Broadway, Philip Haya 8t iod at bis (.flice door, thoughtful ly pulling on his neatly fitting g nves. l fay "i nougnuuiiy," oe cause that word iut describes his 8'ate of mind, which was that of himM't: between two opinions wliibr to go for his usual stroll uptown, have a comfoi table dinner H tiotel, aud a little flirtation with Jessie Alabin afterward ; or to cross i he nvtr, and lake, a traiu to hi Siothei's preity place in Jersey. lie told biiTiself, as he aras caretnlly buttoning his right-hand g!ove,tbat the berries were ripe, aud lhat he really deeded a little fresn air, etc., etc , etc. But he knew a tar better reason, if he wonld ouly have acknowledge ed it ; and what is more, other peo ple knew it, too. Brother Will was wise enough to credit his pretty sisterin-law witn Philip's excess ot fraternal aflectioo ; and little Nona Zabriski herself had a shrewd i goess as to what kind of berries Mr. J Philip Hays came to the country to j taste. i Well, on this particular afternoon i tbe couutry proved tbe most power- ' ful attraction, and in an Lour and a half a'ter the gloves had been fitted to a nicety, tbey were taken off a gain to clas; the bands of tbe dear s, sweetest, brightest little conn tiy maiden that any man with the! risht kind of eyes could desire to ! uot; much troubled, for he relied s -e. : with imp'icit confidence on the ef- Eveiybody pretended to believe fect WDicb Philip Hays, in his own the story about the berries, and that ! proper pereoD, conld not fail to of cours", gave him a chance togolraafce. This confidence did not with Nona to gather them. , What Philip said to Nona, and j what Nona said to Philip, the ber j ries and the evening star probably j know ; bnt it was very delightful aod w satisfying, that the joung people came back to the house without any beriies at all, and pre sently there was a great- deal of hand shaking aud kissing, which ended in a bottle ot champage and mutual good wishes. Well, after this, tor a couple of weeks, there was no hesitating at the ofiice door. Philip said peacb er," now when his frieud rallied him about bis sudden patdo(i for the country, aud the "pachu excuse did just aa well as the "berries." Philip's mother aud sister were going to some fashionable Virginian springs, and he greatly desired that his little Nona shoald go with them. For. to s ell the truth, he did winb she were a little more stylish, would piit up her curls, aud abandon a pi ons, and dress like Jessie Mabiu did. He went about his plans with that taut whictf young men who have sisters acqaire ; a little preseut from the jeweler's, a modest check, "just tor spending money, made bis oister Cecilia sufficiently interested iu his project. 'Nona is a dear little girl, Ceoile,v be paid ; Vail she wants Ja a more stately manner aud stylish dress." -If that Is what you like, Philip, why did you not marry Jessie Ma bin T I thought you liked her well enough." "Because, Oecile, I want a heart inside the dress a pure, loving bealt,,, Mt seems to me " but here Ce ciie stopped. She was wise enough to know she would be "throwing words away.'' Tbe next difficulty was to make Nona nndeistand bis wishes aud induce her to accept the invitation sent by his moth r . "I am going to please you, Philip, for I am quite well, thank yon." "Ob, I don't mean about your health, .you little witch ! Wbo could have such bright e.ves and red lips and not be quite well ? I mean about dress and deportment and that kind of things." There was a little ominous si lence, and then a low, grieved voice: "1 don't think 1 understand you, Philip." "No, dear ; aud, upon the whole, L am glad you have never under stood, so tar; but when we are mar- riod, we shall live iu the city, and we must dress and behave as city people do. Cecile will show you all about it, darling, so don't trouble your pretty little bead.'' "I. thought you liked me just as I am, Philip, What is wrong iu tbe city that ia proper and pretty lu the country? Will you tell me?'' "Certainly, Nona. Your loose flowiug hair and short dresses and white aprons; your frauk ways, all r perfectly charming here, would cause unDleasant criticisms in tbe city. I want my little girl to be as stylish and fashionable as a6 well, as Miss Jessie Mabin, for in stance.'' "Ah ! she is your ideal, is she ?" Much more to the same purport, mingled truly with compliment- and kisses, was said ; but it did not decieve the wonnded woman's heart; for Uona, though not a fashionable woman, was a true woman, never theless. and understood both all Philip said and all that it inferred. Philip thought be bad managed cleverly, and when be next saw Nona, in a most perfectly appoint ed traveling suit, be congratulated himself ou hia tact and wisdom. It was not possible for him to leave his business entirely, but it had beeu arranged he was to come at intervals tor a few days, and be regularly refreshed and comforted by plentiful supplies of letters. The sapply was pretty fair the I first week, but fell off gradually, I until several days passed without KDy word from Nona Still he was agree with events. He arrived at the spring, and found Nona oat driving with Jack Christie, a young man whom he particularly disliked for hia pretentions manners. El4 was on tbe piazza when tbey returned, and he was certain Nona saw him, though she kept her eyes on Jack's face, and pretended tbe greatest interest iu his foolish con versation ; for of two things Philip was certain : first, that her interest wa "pretended ;" and, second, that Jaek'R conversation was "foolish." Tnen he felt unaccountably chdled by the greeting of the splendidly diessed Koua, wbo calm ty gave him the tips of her gloved tigers, with a pretty little assurance, of being "glad to nee Mr. Hays,'' and the information that Cecile bad been expecting him since the early morning; train. "Cecile !" he paid, reproachfully. 'And you, too, Nona ?' "Oh, dear, no, Mr. Hays. It is quite too exhausting to expect any thing. One honor at a time it quite sufficient.' Philip was shocked and silenced 'or the time. For one distressing half -hour he tried to assume his right to posiiiou with his betrothed, but she kept Jack Christie persist ently between them; and, angry and hurt, besought his sister Cecile. "Cecile," be said, "what a change there is in Nora ! What is the cause ?" "A wonderful change. I Dever saw a girl improve so rapidly. I1 suppose you are tbe cause. Do you know she is really the belle Jack Christie and El Forsyth and a half a dozeu others are raving about her. Positively ibey are Phil.'' "Very kind ot them; but " "Well so tt i, you know; veiy first families, aud all that kiud cf thing; upou my word, I believe Nona will make a sensatiou next winter, aud mamma is quite satis, tied now." But Phil was not. No, not at all; very far from it indeed. That night at the hop, Nona looked garnd en ough for a queen ; her golden hair done up in some picturesque style yards of satin and lace making a track of glory behind her, aud jew els flashing from her throat and wrists. But all in vaiu Philip pleaded for adauce; Nona had beer engaged for every set since break fast ; and she reminded him, rather maliciously, of the necessity of ob se'Ving the usages of society. So he had the satisfaction of watching the social triumph of tbe future Mrs. Hays. But he was Dot the victor, aud it hurt bim sorely to be dragged at tbe chariot wheels, when he should have been holding the reins. Be fore the wot Id, hawever, NoDa's be bavior was perfectly irreproachable Not even bis mother suspected any eetraugemeut ; for Nona was re spectful, kind, always mindful of the proprieties but she took inar velous care never to be left alone with him. Three miserable days of continua1 disappointment, and theu Philip determined to go back to New York and see Nona no more nntil he cou'd do so ia her country home. Per haps there be could regaiu bis lost ground ; but eveu this determina tion was very humiliating to the proud young man, who only one one month ago bad himself dictated the very coarse which was making bim eo wretched. He could not help blaming him self, and he did it very Iboroagbly and repentantly. Philip Hays was not the first man who has been sor ry for not "letting well alane.'' However, be bade his mother and Cecile "good-bye," and gave the regulation kiss to Nona, who re ceived it with perfect placidity, and gave bim many kind wishes for bis journey ; for, a3 he was to leave very early in the morning, he did not ex" oect to see the ladles again before his departure. As tbey passed out of tbe parlors, Nona turned, and for a momenta dash of tbe old tendernhss made her facH beautiful, her lips paned. and she hesitated a moment, as it she would speak, bat finally passed on and away. Poor Philip I He took his cigar land sat down on the dark, silent balcony, miseraoie enougo. jsui in about nan an noar a nmia nine ng stole throueh tbe deserted rooci, and without warning laid her' nre hand upon his shoulder. He turned rapidly, all tbe great passion which bad grown to a high er and deeper intensity in hia suf fering burst out in one imploring whisper of "Nona !" "Philip! ' ... Well, you know the end- Philip d not like tue fashionable Nona at all ; his whole heart cried oat for 'he sweet, najural girl whose worth he bad not realized outil he i bought her lost. Tangled curls, shftrt dresses, ruffled aprons never agaiu looked homely in bis eyes. Ever afterwards be bad tbe otost wholesome fear of Nona becoming fashionable; and Nona to this day j when Philip is in opposition, t!ti.l- IV leminiln blm ot hi one exneiN ate nt in mauding women, and n- sutes bun that in tbe long run be would not like his own way, eveu if he got it. And so he takes hers, which, after all, I have no doubtj i tbe most sensible tiling be could d. Avoiding Petty Jealousies 'If there is anything that I teach my children to avoid," said the sen Bible mother ot a large family, "It is indulging iu uetty jealousies. There iu nothiug in the world more demoralizing to tbe child or. chil dren's society, or. Indeed, society of any age, tor the matter ot that, than tbe jealousy tnat comes from a de sire to take precedence of othes. If Ma'tie's father is more wealthy tbao'Kate's lather, or has more po- ition or influence iu the community Mattie seems to take it lor granted that she is entitled to just a little bit more consideration than Kate. Be that little ever so little, the sim ple exhibition of it seems to be wou- derfully gratifying to her, and. the omission of it is a sore grievance. Every li t tie advautage that tbe child or its parents have is .made inoch of, and u?ed as a sort of cap ital stock ou which to draw for coartesjes and consideration. 'At a children's party, the other night, there were two little girls of equal ageand general attractiveness. One was quite as well dressed as theotner, and iu the class in the school to which they belonged they stood almost alike ia point of ioteb ligence and accomplishment. O.ie however, was tbe daughter of tbe bookkeeper in the mercantile house ot tbe other. In the course of the evening tha merchant' daughter, whose mother had always encour aged her conceit by explaining that the liberties i-be took weie her ways,' and that she was entitled to things other little girls were not eni titled to, became quite indignant because tbe bookkeeper's daughter was given prelermce in some selec tions mad by the hostess for games The merchant's diughter made herself so disagreeable that the other was very unhappy, and botb went borne in tears and anger, Tbe story was told as botb firesides, the merchant was irritated ou account of it. and his wife beoame eomewhat jealous of the other little girl ; the bookkeeper was very touchy be cause ot the annoyance ). bis child hflri Rnfrered. and wheu they met 1 n tne counting room on the follow ing day, both of them were abso lutely inflammable, aud it required bat a word to bring about a decid edly unpleasant state of affairs which shortly culminated in open rapture and a diseolutioa of rela tions. The reflex action of the af-. tair reached the hostess. The feel ine spread until it involved several members of the community and la d he foondation for a lifelong e? trfDgemeut and and annoyaoee 1 n uvar rkprmit mV children, to indulge in criticisms bora of p?r eonal jealousy. Tne proper teachs ing in my opinion is that those who are the most amiable and agreeab e are the most likely to receive spe. cial attention, bu1: that the roodf st and retiring should always be sought oat and mrde as comforta ble as possible. One ot the. moat amiable children I ever knew inva riably looked over a company to see i if there were some poor or neglect ed or deformed child in it, aud. this one, if such there were, was always singled out as the object of her guecUl attention ana courtesy. At I . T. is needless-to say that such a child J developed into an admiraole and beautitnl character, and was loved and respected whereever she was known. How to Get a Dinner In Waah Ington. An unprincipled scamp recently played a game upou a Washington restauranteor, aajs tbe Post, that for originality aud effectiveness has not been matched in any ot the time houored 8 tor its ot Bean Hickman, or other "eaters of dinners, you foot the bills," He was a welldresied( gentlemanlyappearing person and other weald not have secured much attention ia the cafe which he work, ed and he ofdereda dinner that proclaimed him au epicure, if a scoundrel. He commenced by lip ping the waiter liberaly, wnicb aloue would proclaim him one ac customed to secure tbe best of at tentlou ; aud as for wines, be would have uone but the best vintages, which he picked with the taste of a copooisear. The dinner was prepared to the king's taste, and appeared to please him until the last course. At that point he altered an exclamation of horror, and beckoned frantically t. tbe waiter.- That functionary not being sotflcient to vent bis wrath cpon, he (summoned the head ait- er, and eventually- the proprietor. Then he pointed out tbe trouble a dead flv in the dessert. Words could 1 not express his welUfngned dis gust, or the regret of tbe proprietor of this unfortunate occurence. Tbe cook was called op and "roasted'' mote effectaally tbau be ever did his meats, and tbe restauranteur of fered every amend in ,his power But the guest professed to be almost o?ei:''ome with nausea, and could not eat any . more he had probably had all be wanted. Ot course tbe . proprietor coald not think of charging. for such an ou fortunate meal, and was only too tbankfal that the matter should es cape tbe attention of his other guests. Bat wheu the disgusted guest had gone, a bystander, wbo bad watched the occurence, remark ed to the proprietor : "Why, didn't you see him put that fly iu the des sert!'' And the subsequent con- versation was noflt tor publication IJo7 to Slake au JKjjg Sfuud on End. My method ot standing au egg on end is not by cracking it, but by taking tbe egg in one band and striking it in the other three or tour strong licks, which readily breaks the thin membrane seperating the air from tbe tnd of tbe egg ; it also breaks up the yeik of the eg; tbe parts of the contents of tbe erg be ing thus free to move among them selves, the heavier ones settle at the bottom, the lighter ones above, j and tbe air at tbe top. This is done by placing the egg ou end a few second and holding it perpendicu larly. The ceuter of gravity is tbua easily brought within the base and the egg btands readily on either end. 1 find that this is a tact that is kaown by tut tew. I: is some.. times used by jugglers who pretend to conjare by incantations. J would like to know it this is geoer lly known. W. M. Gratbill. t An$. A 'common mode of de tecting tbe condition of eggs is to try to stand them ou end. If good, it cannot usually be done. If bad. it can easily be done. Ed. S. A. Scientific American.
