The entire first floor was occupied by an Irishman and they never minced the matter themselves, so hardly is there need for me to do so. She was a charming little dark-eyed woman, an ex-tight-rope dancer, and always greatly offended Mrs. Peedles by claiming Miss Lucretia Barry as a sister artiste. "Of course I don't know how it may be now," would reply Mrs.

And then she had mouthed and minced, with ever so false a gentility, her consistent, her sickening conclusion. "Of course I may mention again if you too distinctly object to the trouble of looking, you know where to find me." "I had rather starve to death than ever go within a mile of you!"

ENDIVE SALAD. The curled endive is excellent for fall and winter salads. Pick the leaves over carefully; separate the green from the white; put the latter into a salad-bowl; add minced salad herbs, and a suspicion of onion. Serve with plain dressing. ESCAROLE SALAD. This is one of the best salads known.

'tis a thousand pities that such musical owld crathurs should be suffered to die, at all at all, to be poked away into a dirthy dark hole, when their canthles shud be burnin' a-top of a bushel, givin' light to the house. An' then it is she that was the illigant dancer, stepping out so lively and frisky, just so." And here he minced to and fro, affecting the airs of a fine lady.

Having drawn and singed the goose, wipe out the inside with a cloth, and sprinkle in some pepper and salt. Make a stuffing of four good sized onions minced fine, and half their quantity of green sage leaves minced also, a large tea-cupful of grated bread-crumbs, a piece of butter the size of a walnut, and the beaten yolks of two eggs, with a little pepper and salt.

Make a seasoning of hard-boiled yolk of egg and sweet-herbs minced small, grated bread, pepper, salt, and nutmeg; and, if you choose, a little minced onion. Take the chops out of the butter, and cover them with the seasoning.

Then take it out, put in some butter rolled in flour, with a minced lemon, and simmer them to a proper thickness. Rub a hot dish with a piece of shalot, lay the turbot in the dish, and pour the sauce over it. FRIED VENISON. Cut the meat into slices, fry it of a bright brown, and keep it hot before the fire.

"So HELP me never, it's MINCED MUTTON!" shouted poor Luck, as the tin was opened a little joke that has never been forgotten. It is a rather novel sensation to find that you are dead; and this was our experience, for the papers had killed us some time since our bones had been seen bleaching in the sun, and all that sort of thing.

She had sat and minced over rich dishes day after day, and never felt that exquisite sense of wholesomeness and recuperation. She turned to Ellen. "Did you ever eat such nice things before? What made them so good, anyhow?" Ellen smiled with unusual relaxation. "They was nice, wa'n't they? Well, I'll tell you what my mother used to say, and she was the best cook in Eaton county, by all odds.

No matter though they be at the mercy of those whom they brand, they define each error and each act of injustice with the same precision as in writing a theological thesis. Pius IX., who was mildness itself, more than once startles the delicate ear by the liberty of his language, so different from the minced and often ambiguous style of diplomacy.
