the litilo family party gathered around
the neat table in the breakfast room.
Burnt toast and dish-water tea as
usual!" These were the first words
spoken by the young husband, after sit
ting down to the table and the manner
in which they were uttered, left Ida in no
doubt as to tho state of his feelings.—
How suddenly was the fine gold dimmed.
A few hours earlier the young husband
had called to see his mother, an orderly,
tndustrious woman, and a notable house
keeper. As usual, he was full of the
praise of his beautiful young wife, in
whom ho had yet seen nothing to blame
-^-nothing below perfection. But his
mother had looked at her with different
eyes. Living in the world was, with her,
no holiday affair, and marriage no mere
honeymoon. She was too serious in all
her views and feelings to have much pa
tience with what she termed mere play
dav life. A little jealous of L#?r son's
affection, she was, withal and its going
forth to another, with an ardor so differ
ent from what it had ever gone forth to
herself, made her feel cold toward the
dear little wife of Edward, who was its
favored object.

you and Ida to be a little more serious.
The honeymoon is over, and the quicker

Edward was too much surprised at
this unexpected annunciation, to

The reference of
his mother to tbe in

him, but made some things distinct to
his memory, which, before were only

came and went from the breakfast room
to the parlor, frequently evidently with
some household cares upon her mind.
Tea was at last announced. Edward's
heart trembled. His mother arose, and
wiih rather a cold air, accompanied her
children to the room where the evening
meal awaited them. The table had an
attractive look, new to the eyes of both
Edward and his mother. It was plain
