THE DYING GIRL.
A beauty Clothes the hectic cheek, A rhdiancc fliis the sunken eye. But when bur niullowed accents-apcak. They mnke Ibc saddened bearer sigh; For tofter aink thoy in their cadence far Than autumn's d.ving toue, beneath some mournful sUr.

Wbose rocks of terraced verdure rise And i.ateh tfae mom's celestial Emilo, Ei-i<ponsive to the greeting skies; And vainly propfaesied tho island breeze Would fre.-'ben bee white cheeks, nnd waft away disease.
But there ehe aickened day by day, In sinking paleness, liko a flower; Yet from her glance there flashed a ray Of some BupernatunJ power— ifo bright the lustre of ber eye-beam fell, It touched the tender mind with more than woman's spell. For niolher, too, nnd far off home, Uer plaintive heart Jn secret cried; ^      And I'lickwnrd longed her soul to roam—
Since in tho churchyard, eide fay side, Under fhe green turf, where lovod sisters lay, She hoped ber duel might wait the awful judgment day.
.\ud there behold her once again
In faer oirn room, with placid brow; So pale, you i-ec each azure vein Meander through her beantj- now; Yet, Uko a pulae of ru--^ light nt even, Oft to her faded cheek a crinisou flush is given.
Peldoni sho eighs, but veils within
Mucfa that would griovo fond love to know; And whuu tomo pensive Icurs begin, She tries to check Ibeir orerflow; Safe in thc arme of .IcFua reals her soul, Xor does the eariy gravi' wjtli gloom tha mind control. Not for hcr.'elf, but for tho heart.
Of love mnternitl ahe conld weop, And often in young dreams will start, ^ As (lirlL'b days through memory sweep, Wfaile faintly through her lips thero etcals a word— And, " Oh: my moiher dear!" Is like low music heaid. Sho dies—lis bountv ever dies
When a.id consumplion finds a tomb— With iTJlliiiuco in her deep eel oyes, Aud ou her face a faealthlcss bloom; ,N'o barah transition, but a soft decav, likudrcam-horu tones of nigfat that'melt by dawn away. They wheel her ronnd each garden walk. Where oft her liaping childhood played, And loved to hear the old nurse talk And i>oothud her when she seemed afraid: While danced lho ringlets as phe prattled on, Moro playful than the birds sbc lored to gaze upon. £be locks as tbey alone who feci

Mrs. Mudlaw's Kecipe for Potato Pad¬ ding;
OR, GOSSIP FRO.U OUR TOWN.
Mr. John Darling, a worthy and inteUigent mechanic, who haabeen, for two yeara paai, a resident of our town, was somewhat surprised and considerably gratified one day last lall, at { receiving an invitaiion to dine with Colonel Philpot, one of the aristocracy.
Mr. Daring enjuya ibat reapect in our commu¬ nity which mechanical ingenuity and integrity united are always sure lo command everywhere. Theae qualiiies, and a more than ordinary de¬ gree of iniormaiion, acquired by the employ¬ meni of much ofhia leisure iimo in reading,! have gi\er\i bim an almost uiibour>ded influence i amongdi his uwn cls:>s. i
Though the invitaiiotOo Colonel P.'a created aomo Burprise in his mind, he felt more diapoBed 10 be pleased at the honor than i? queslion tbe moiivea which prompted it: for his nature la wholly free from suspicion and the petty fccHtig of jealousy whicb ihosc in his station someiimes indulge lowarda the " upper ten'*—feelings with which, we nre eorry to aay, iho bosom of his better half waa frequently agitated.
" We have been neighbors for some lime, Mr, Darling," said Colonel Philpot; " it ia time we were belter acquainted You mual come and dine socially with me lo-morrow. Mra. Philpot and the children arc out of town, and Iam going 10 have a few friends to enliven my Holitude."
So John Darling" saved bis appetite," drea. sed himself in bis best clolhea, and, ai iho ap¬ pointed bour—a aomewhat later one than hia cuetomary lime for dining—rapaired lo Colonel Philpot'fl
Ho raei ihere several of hii aaaociatos^had a "fine lime anda grand dinner"—lho utmoat hilarity and good Ieeling prevailed; and Mr. Darling entertained hia wile with an accouni of it at every meal for several weeks.
" Hester," said he one day, as ihey weresea- ted at a codfish dinner, " did you ever taate a potato pddding 7"
"Potato pudding I No; I never heard of auch a thing."
"Well, I wiflh you could, for 'iia delicious!
We had one when I dined at Colonel Philpot's."
" I wonder what you didn't have at Colonel
Philpot's" eaid jMrs. Darling.   " I declare,-I'm
lired hearing nbout it."
" Well, I'll leil you one thing we didn'i havo —we didn't have codfiah. But, that pudding— 1 wish you'd learn bow to make it; it was eu- perbl"
" I presume so; and I gueaa, if I had half a dozen seivania ai my heels, and a iborough- trained cookinto the bargain,! could have things superb, too.—But, aa long as I havo everything to do mysell, and very lillle to do it with, I don.; aeehowl'm (o get up ihings in atyle, I wonder you can espect mc to."
" 1 don't expect you lo, Healer. You alwayi do Ihings to suit my taste. Bui tbat pudding was cicelieiii; and, being mado of potatoes, I thought, ol couree, it musi be economical, and"—
'' Economical; Thai'a all you know about il. —WbaiEumpa men are! I'll warrant it had forty dificreht things in it, and le» potatoes thau any thing else. I'm no hand to fujs up- I like plain cookery, tor my part."
" So do 1, as a general thing. But, then, you know, it's weUtohaveoomeihinga linje better than ordinary once in a while.''
" WoU it you'ro noi Baiisfied wilh my way of doing thiugs, you musi hire a cook, or go and board oui." And Mrs. Darling put on her inju¬ red look, and remained sileni during the rest of the dinner.
But, after all, abe was not an ill-natured wo¬ man re&lly ; Qitd, after her husband had gonc lo his shop, ehe began to feel a Utile pricked in hor conscience for having been   orosa  at   dinner. She wished ehe had not gone on at such a rale, but, then, John bwed her so about ihat dinner al Colonel Philpot's—she was out of pati«nce wilb 11.   Yei whai right had she to be  out of pttiience wuh John ?   He never was out of pa- lience wiih hor, and abe could not hut acknowl¬ edge lhat ho had reason to be ao. So she reaolv¬ ed 10 make it up as soon aa possible. I " Johu ," said she, as she handed hid a cup i of tea, I've a great noiioa lo  iry that potaio j puddiug.   1 believe Icould make one."
" No doubt of It, Ilebier," said hor huaband ; " yon*can do almosi anything you try to."
"I suppose it lakes buuer, and sugar, and i eggs, and spices, and so lonh; but I wish I knew the proportions."
" It's very ea^y to hnd out allabom it by cal¬ ling ai Colonel Phiipoi's. He aaid hia. wife would be delighted to get acqainted witb yuu." " Su you've told me & dozen timea; but I tbink that, if sue wanted to get acquainted witfa me, she mighi call upon me. She's lired hete longer ihon I have, and it isn't my place to call first; andl dou't.believe ths colonel tells the truth when he eaya afae wants to get acqnainted with me."
" WeU, I alwaya think people mean as they aay, anrf I wish you would, too, Hasler."
" But ii'B very evident that aho holds hersolf a gxett, deal above mu. She has n9 reason to, certamly, for her lamily waao't half aa respec¬ tables mine. Mrs. David Potter knows al] about them, root and branch, and she says thai Mr». Phiipoi's father kept & very low tavern in IfotrifJBo'i »ad Mia, Philpot lisnelf tended, the 1^ yrktn fho WM » girl.  Bfl(, •omthow, Col.
Philpot happened to fsl! in lovo with .her, and he sent her away to school, and ihen married her." " Well, that's nothing against her, is itl" "No, ofcourse it wouldn't bo, ifshe didn't carry her head 80 high now. But it's alwaya the way with such persons—lhey never know how to bear prosperity. There wouldn*l be anything aaid about her origin, ifshe didn*t put on auch airs; but, as long as she feels so lifted up, folks will talk, you know." •
" Perhaps yon don't do her justice, Healer.— You know nothing about her except what you've heard. Al any rate, it would do no harm to call upon her."
After repeated convarsaiions and diacuseion, oftbis 6ort, Mra. Darling concluded to pay Mrs Philpot a visit. Sho could make tbe potato pudding an excuse, and be governed by Mrs. P.'s reception in regard lo farther intercourae.— Mrs. Philpot has been, for several years past, to use ber own phrase, "very unfortunate in her domestics." With tho exception ofher cook- up to the time of Mrs. Darling's call—she had seldom kept one above a month, and sometimea not 89 long as tbat. This frequent chango cj servants woa not so much owing to any onkind- nes on Mrs. Philpot's part, as to the faci that Mrs. Mudlaw, her cook, could never sgrse with them. This functionary had been, for several ye^rs, a fixture in Colonel P.'s estahiiehmeni; indeed, Mrs. P. declared, she could not possibly get along without her. Mrs. Mudlaw was, in facl, a good cook, ond so enlirely relieved that lady from all care in lhat department, that, raiber tban part with her, she vras willing to snbmii to her petty tyranny in everylhing. The cook actually "ruled the roasi" at Colonel P.'s in more ihan onc sense. And she did not often find the aubalierns of the household ag submis¬ sive to her wishes as Mrs. Philpot herself was.— She contrived to quarrel them away, in a short lime, lor sbe bad only to saylo Mrs. P., " Well, euher Bridget or I must quit, so'you may take your choice," and the offending servant wm dismissed forthwith, there being no appeal from Mrs. Mudlaw's decision.
A scene of this kind had just occurred when Mrs- Darling made her visit, and a new raw Irish girl had thai morning been installed in place of the one discharged. The duty ofthia girl was to answer the door-bell, nnd to help Mrs. Mudlaw, In fact, the hardest and moat diaagreeable ot the kiichen work came upon her. When Mrs. Dar¬ ling rang, Mrs. Philpot was in the kilchen giving instructions to Peggy, or rather acquies¬ cing in ihose whitjh Mrs Mudlaw was laying down.
"There goes the bell," said ihat important personage, and Mrs. Philpot hasiened to an upper window to aee who it waa. Having satia¬ fied herself, she came back and told Peggy to go and admit the lady.
"Why don't you eiarl, you?" said Airs- Mudlaw.
"Well, what'll I do now?" said Peggy, whirling round in that bewildered way peculiar to Iriah girls.
" Do!" roared Mudlaw. "Don't you know noihin'? Hain't we jest been lellin' yo 'twas your duty to tend to tbe door-oell ? Run to tbe front door and let 'em in, and show 'era into ihe drawin* room. You know whero tbat is, don't you ?"
"Faith, I know thai," answered Peggy, and away ehe ran, ihanking her stars thst there was at least one thing that she knew.
"It's no one that I know, I'm sure," said Mra. Philpot, after Peggy had gone ; " at leaat the bonnet and shawl are not familliar to me. I presume it is somebody I don't care aboul seeing."
"I shouldn't wonder"said Mudlaw. " ButI s'pose you couldn't do otherways, as the curoel has given orders that nobody ain'l to be refused lill after lection."
With much confusion and toe-stubbing, the unfortunate Peggy ushered Mra. Darling into the nursery, which waa also "Mra, Philpot's ordinary Biiting-room. It was directly over the kitchen, and heated from the cooking-stovo by means of a drum, or dummy, as Mrs. Mudlaw called it. Every word that waa said in the kiichen could eaaily be beard in tho nursery— , quite a convenience to Mudlaw, as it enabled i her often to communicate wiih Mca. Philpot' wilhout lhe trouble of goiug up stairs. Many an interesling accouni of what she did when Mr. Mudlaw was living, and bow tbey managed at General K's when she was staying there, has gone up, that stove-pipe.
The nursery was in a state of the greatest diaorder, as was usually ihe case, ihough ihc children were all out just then. Sukey, the nurse-girl, had laken the baby out lo ride, and Philip Augustus hod gone wilh them; and Ztje Matilda was at school. Playthings of every description, carts, horses, dolls, as well as chil¬ dren's books and clothes, were scatiered about the room in what Mrs. Darling called "awful confusion." But she had not time for inward comments upon tbis slate of things, before her attention was called to the conversation below It's Mrs. Darling as wushes tosee ye, mum,* said Peggy
"That Mrs. Darling! Did you ever?" ex¬ claimed Mrs* Philpot. "She ain' nobody, is sha ?" said Mrs. Mudlaw. "Nobody atall. Her husband is a cabinot maker; butthe colonel has charged upon me to be polite to her just now. He wished me to call upon her; but I would not condescend to stoop BO low as lhat, tbough he made me promise to treal her with atlention ifshe called.
"Well, I wouldn't do it ifl was you," said the cook. "I'd be miatreBs inmy own house, anyhow,"
"Dont, you know, u's for his interest now. He says that Darling has agreat influence araong mechanics—can command a good many votaa." "Oh, I remember now I he's one of them codgers ihat dined here while you waa away, that the curnel was laughin' about afterwards, and lellin' you how awkward they handle the eilver forks."
"Yea; isn't it provoking to have to be polite to such people? Well, I shall be glad when 'lection'sover, for tho colonel saysl may cut them all tben, and I think it won't be long be, fore they sink back to theirown level." And Mrs. Philpol arose with a sigh, and ascending to tho drawing-room, arranging hsr features into a gracious and patronizing expression  as th>
Mm. Darling.B feelings during this conversa-' tion "can be batter imsginsd than desribed," as thenoTels would say. Her first impulses was to leavo lhe housc wilhout waiting for Mr. Phil¬ pot's appearance, and she rose and raado a Jow steps with that intenlion; but, on second thought she resolvid to remain, and let her know tbal ahe only came on an errand, and resumed her seat.
"She's gone," ssid sbe, "without waiting for me. She doesn't know eDQuglr about good so¬ ciety to understand ihat a lady doesn't mako her appearance tbe xoament she's called for."
"I shouldn't wonder ifshe was in the nnraory all tbo tiroe*" aaid Mudlaw; fori hoard a step¬ ping up there a while ago, and tho children hain't goi home yet. ffhwe did you take her to, you?"
"Why, I tuck her in the dhrawin-room, sure, as you tould me, righloverhid," said Peggy, in somo alarm.
"You blundering' Irish gumphead ! Dont you know the drawin' room from thp nursery ? '•Ocbl but I ihoughi il waa the dhrawiu'-1 room; for didn't I aee the maslher a dbrawin' i hia carl, and waan' i Shukey a dhrawin' the baby about tho floore by ita feet, when I went up Io take the waihej this mornin' )"
"There, I told you she wasa bomlfooU" oaid Mudlaw, ina«age. "Sho'll never know nothing—she'll never learn nothing—you may as well send her off first as last."
"Hush i dom apeak BO loud." said Mrs. Phil¬ pot, in a whisper "She can hear all you say- she Aas heard anough alrtady. Dear me, what shall I do ? The colonel will bo so provoked ! How could you be so dumb, Peggy ? Ruq right op and take ber into the drawing room. Stop • you needn't; you will make some other mis- take.   I'll go myself,"
In s Biate of mind not lo be envied.Mrs. Phil¬ pot hastened to lho nursery,- But, as sheen- teriained a fainl hope thai lho conversation bolow had not penetrated^lhrough Mra. Darling's bonnet, aho endeavored to hide her embarras¬ ment under an affable smile, eylflnded her band gracsfuUy, and drawled oat» genteel welcome lo her visitor.
"Delighied lo see you, Mrs- Darling; but very sorry you shonld have been brought into lho nursery"—no wonder she's sorry, thought Mrs. Parling—" these raw Iriah girla Me so stupid! Walk inio the parlor, ifyou,please.'' •* Ko, I thank you, Mrs. ^hilpot,^I!d nt(, ap^n ait here," returned Mrs. DarUi^*. "•! ^^°fif ¦t»r« nioffl«Qt.  I caUfd'io'u^'forVrecfipt
for potato pudding. Mr. Darling tasted ohe when he dinad wiib Colonwl Philpot, and fiked it BO mnch that he wished me to get durectiona for making it."
" Potato pudding f Ah yes, I recollect.— Mudlaw, mf cook, doea make a very good plain thing that she calls a potato pudding; but I know nothing obout her manner of preparing it. I will call her, however, and she ahall tell you herself." Thereupon she pulled the bell, and Peggy shortly appeared, looking more frighten¬ ed and bewildered than ever- " Sand Mudlaw hero," aaid Mrs. Philpot. She would not have dared to address her "chief cook and bottle-washer" witbout the respectful title of Mrs.; but it was rather more grand to omit it, and she always did ao when not in her hearing.
" The missus said I was to send you there," said Peggy.
" You send me!*' exclaimed the indignant cook. " I gueas when I go lor your sending, it'll be after this."
Mrs. Philpot, although conversing in a conde scending manner with Mrs. Darling, caught aomcibing ofthe cook's reply tober summons, and^sked to ho excused for a moment, saying that Peggy was so stupid, she leared that Mud¬ law might not understand her, and she would go herself and send her. So she hastened down to tbe kitchen, where she found lhe head function¬ ary standing on her dignity.
" Pretty well," said she, "If I am to be or¬ dered round by an Irish scuthon 1"
" Mrs. Mudlaw, step here a momeni, if you pleaae," said Mrs. Philpot, meokly, opening-the door ol an adjoining room.
The offended lady vouchsafed lo comply with the request, and, wilh a stern aapect, eniered the room with Mrs. Philpot. The Iaiter cioaed the door for fear of being heard overhead, and began—
" What do you think, Mra. Mudlaw ? That Mrs. Darling has como to leurn how to make a potato pudding, and you'll havo to go up and lell faer."
" I shan't do ii. I make it a point never to give my receipts to nobody."
"I know it; aod, I'm sure]! don't blame you. But, in this cnae—just now—I really don't see how we can refuse."
" Weil, I shan't do it, and that'a the hull on't."
" Oh, do, Mrs. Mudlaw, just tbis once. The colonel is so anxious to secure Darling, and he will be GO angry if we offend thom in any way.' " But he needn't know it, need bo ?" " He certainly will find it out by some means. I know it is real vexatious to you, and I wouldn't ask it if slection was over; but now 'tis very important—it raay save us all trouble. Tho colonel is so dscidcd, you know."
These Isst words of Mrs. Philpot had an effeci upon Mudlaw which no wish or entreaty of that lady would have ever produced, for they sugges¬ ted to her selfish mind the possibility of a dis¬ missal from tho snug berth at Colonel P.'s, where she carried ic with a high hand ; so she gave in.
" Well, jost to please you and the curnel, I'll do it; but I wish 'Uction was over."    .
Mra. Philpot reiurned to tbo nursery, and Mrs. Mudlaw took off hor apron, changed her cap forone irimmed with pink ribbons and blue roses, gave numerous orders to Peggy, and fol¬ lowed. She wos a short, fat woman, with a broad, red face—such a person as a stranger would cnll tho very peraonificaijon of good-ne- turo ; though I have never found fat people any more amiable than lean onea. Certainly, Mrs. Mudlaw was not a very sweet-tempered womon. On this occasion she felt rather more cross than usual, forced, as she was, to give one of her re¬ ceipta to a nobody. She, however, knew the necessiiy of assuming a pleasant demeanor ai that time, and accordingly entered the nursery wilh an encouraging grin on ber bla-/ing counte¬ nance. Mrs. Philpot, fearing lost her cook's fa¬ miliarity might belittle her mistrass in the eyea of Mrs. Darling, and again asking to be excused for a short time, went into the library, a nonde¬ script apartment dignified by that name, which communicated-with the nursery. Tho moment sho left her seat, a large rocking-cbair, Mudlaw dumped herself down in it, exclaiming—
*' Misa Philpot saya you want to gel my re¬ ceipt for poialer puddin' ?"
" Yes," replied Mrs. Dirling. " I would bo obliged to yuu for the directions." And aho took out ol her pocket a pencil and paparlo write it down.
"Well, 'tisan excellentpuddin'," said Mud¬ law, complacently; "for ray part, I like it about ss well as any puddin' I make, and that's sayin' a good deal, I can tell you, for I under- sland makin' a great varieiy. 'Taint so awful rich as some, to be sure. Now, there's tbe Car- dinella puddin', and the Washington puddin', and the Lay Fayette puddin', and the—"
" Yea, Mr. Darling liked it very much—how do you make it?"
" Wai, I poel mypotaters and bilo 'em in fair water. I always let tho water bilo before I put 'em in. Somo folks let their potaters lie and eog in the water ever so long, before it biles 'em. I always make it a pint to bave the waler bile—" " How many potatoes ?" " Wai, I always take nbonl as many potaters aa I think I shalt want. I'm generally govern¬ ed by the size of the puddin' I *rant to make.— If it's a large puddin', why I take quite a num¬ ber, but if it's a small one, why, then I don't | take as many. As quick as they're done, I take 'em up and mash 'em as fine as I can get 'em- I'm always very particular aboul. (Aai—somo folks ain't ; they'll lot their potaters he full o' lumps. .1 never do ; if there's anyihing I hate, it's lumpi in potaters. I won^t have *om. Wheiher I'm mashin' potatoes for puddin's or for vegetable uso, I mash it till there ain't the size ofa lump in it. Ifl can't git it fine withoui sifting, why, Isift it. Once in a while, when I'm otherwise engaged, I set the girl to mashin' on't. Wai, she'll give three or four jama, and come along, " Miss Mudlaw, is the polater fine enough f" Jubitcr Ramrain ! that's the tims I come as near gittin' mad as I ever allow myself to come, for I make it a pint never lo have lumps—"
" Yes, I know it is very important.    What next ?"
" Wai, then I put in my butter ; in  winter tima I meh it a Iiitle, not enough to make itiiy, but just ao's to sofien it." " Kow much butter does it require ?" " Wai, I olways take butter accordin' to the aize of the puddin'; a large puddin' needs a good sized lump o' butter, but not too much.   And I'm always partic'lar to have my butter frosh tnd aweet. Some folke think it'a no matter what sort o' butter they use for cookin', but I don't. Ofall things, I do despise strong, frowy, rancid butler. For pity's sake, have your butter fresh," , "iHow much butter did you say ?" " Wai, that dependa, as I said before,  on what sized puddin' you wanl tomake. And an¬ other thing that regulates the quantity of butter I uae is the'mount o' cream I  take.   I always put in more or less cream;   when I have abun¬ dance o* cream, I put in considerable, and wben it's scarce, why, I use more butler than I oth¬ erways should.   But you must be partic'lar not to get in too much cream.   There's a great deal in havin'jest lhe right quantity ;   and   so 'tis with all the ingrejiences.    There ain'l a betier puddin* in the world than a potater puddin', whan il's made right, but tain't everybody ihst makes 'em right.   I remimber when I lived in Tuck- ertown, I waa a visitin*  to Squire  Humphrey's one time—I went in the first company in Tuck- crtown—dear mo '. thit is a changeable world. Wai, lhey had what they calleda potater puddin' for dinner.   Good land ! Of all the puddins* !— I've often occurred to that puddin' aince, and wondered whot the Squire's wife wae a thinkin' of when she made it.   I wa'nl obleeged to do no such ihtngs in them days, and didn't know how todo anything as wellas I do now.   Necessi¬ ty's tbe mother of invention.   Experience is the best teacher after all—" " Do yott aweeten it ?" " Oh, yca, to be sura it needa sugar, the hest o' sugar, loo ; not this wet, soggy, brown, su¬ gar.   Some folks never think o' usin' good sugar 10 cook with, but for my pari I won't have no other." " How much sugar do you lake ?" " Wai, that depends altogether upon wheiher you calculate to bave sass for it—some likesasa, you know, tnd then some agin don't.' .So, when I calculate for sass, I don't take so mnch augar, and wben I don't calculate for sass, .¦ I make it sweet enough to eat withoui sass.; Poor Mr. Mudlaw was a great hand for puddin'-sasa.   I always mado it for him—good, rich ease, too.   I could afford to have things rich before be was unfonunate in . buainess."  (Mudlaw   Went io B)a}eVp;iJ!onjfc^J^mhiU^^ mywlff too i ood the camel and the ctUldnn
ar« all great Baaohands r and so Xgehoralljr cal¬ culate for Bass', thoogh Misi Philpot prefers lhe puddin' without the iass, and perhaps you'd pre¬ fer it wilhout. Ifao. you must put in sugar ac¬ cordingly- I alwaya make it a pint to havo 'em Hweet enough when they're to be eat without sasa.'' •* And don't you use oggs ?" - " Certainly, egga isonc o* the principal ingre¬ jiences."
" How many does it require ?" " Wai, when eggs is plenty, I always use plenty; and when they're scarce, wby I can do with less, though I'd ruther have enough ; and be be aure to boat 'em well. It does diatress me, lbe w(iy soma folks beats-eggs. I always want to have 'em thoroughly beal for everything I uae 'em in. It tries my patience i^st awfully to have nnybody-r'onnd me that won't beal eggs enough. A spell ago we had a darkey to help in the kitchen. One day I was a makin' sponge cake, and hovin' occasion to go up stairl after something, I sot her to beotia* the oggfl.— Wai, what do you think ihe critter done 1 Why, she wisked 'em round a few times, and turned 'era right onto the other ingrejiences that I'd got weighed out. When I come back and saw whalshe'd done, my'gracious! I came as nigh to loain' my temper bb I ever allow myself to corae. 'Twas awful provokin'! I always want lhe kitchen help to do things as I want to have 'em done. Bull never saw a darkey yet that ever done anything rigbt. They're a lozy, ! slaughterin' set. To think o' her spilin' that cake so, when I'd told her over and over agin that I always made it a pint to have my eggs thoroughly beat!"
" Yes, il was too bad.   Do you use fruit in tbe pudding?"
" Wai, that's jest as you please.   You'd bet¬ ter be governed by your own judgment as to that.   Spmo like curranta and some like raisins, and then again some don't like nary bne.   If you use raisins, for pity's  sake pick out the stuns.   It's Qwful to have a body's teeth come grindin' onto a raisin stun.   I'd rather hava my ears boxl ony time." " How many raisins must I take ?" "Wai, not too many—it's opt to make the puddin' heavy, you know ; and when it's hoavy, ain't BO light and good,    I'm a great band—" " Yes.   Whal do you usa for flavoring ?" " Thore agin you'll have to exercise your own judgment.   Some likes  one ibing, and soma another, why some other kind 'o flavorin' 'Jl do as .well as wine or brandy, I s'pose.   But what- ever you make up your raind to use, be partic¬ 'lar to git in a sufficiency, or else your pnddiu' 'ill be flat.   I always raake it a pint—" " How long must it bake I" " There'a ihe great thing after aJJ.   The ba- kin'sthe main pint.   A potater puddin'of all puddin's, has got to be baked jest right.   For if it bakes a  leetle too much' it's api to dry up ; and then agin ifit don't bake quite enough, it's auro to taate  potatory—and  that spiles it, you know." " How long should you think ?" " Wai, that depends a good deal on ihe heat o' your oven.   'Ifyou have a very  hot oven, 'iwon't do to leave it in too  long; and ifyour oven ain't so very hoi, why, you'll be necessia- led to leave it in  longer." " Woll, how can I iell anything about it ?" "Why, I always lot 'em bake till I think they're done—that's the safest way.   I make it a pint to have 'em baked exactly right.   Itp very imporiant inall kinds o'   bakin'—cake, pies bread, puddin's, and everylhing—to have'em baked precisely long enough, and jesi righi.— Some lull: a don't aeem to have no system at uil about ibeir bakin'.   Onetime the'U burn  their bread lo a criip, and then agin it'll be no slack tain't fit tocal.   Noihing hurls my feelin's ao much as to see things overdone or slack-baked. Here .only t'oiher day, Lorry, the girl that Miss Pbilpot dismissed yesterday, come within an ace o' letting my bread burn up.   My bauk waa \ turned a minnii, and what ahould ^le do but go to atuffin' wood into tbe stove nt the awfullesl rate ? If I bodn't found it out jeat when I did, my bread would have a bon spilt aa sure ae I'm alive woman.   Jubiter Rammin! Iwaa about as mucb decomposed aa I ovor allow myaelf to git! j told Mies Philpot I  wouldn't atan itno longer—one of us muat quit—either Lorry or mo ' must walk,"
" So you've no rule aboul'baking this nud- ding?"
" No rule !" aaid Mudlaw, wiih a lookof in¬ tenae surprise.
"Yes," said Mrs. Darling, "you seem to have no rule for anything about it."
"No rule!" screamed iho indignant cook, starting up, while her red face grow ten times redder, and her litlie blackj eyes snapped with rage. " No rules!" and ahe planted herself in iront of Mrs. Darling, erecting her fleshy figure lo its full heigbt of majeatic dumpiness, and extending the forefinger of her right hand till it reached tn alarming propinquity to that lady's nose. " No rules ! do you iell me I've no rules • Mel ihat'a cooked inthe first families for fif¬ teen years, ond always gin satisfaction, to be lold by such as you that I hadin't no rules !"
Thus far had Mudlaw proceeded, and I know not to T7hat lenglh she would have "allowed herseir* to go, had not the sudden entrance of Col. Philpoi interrupted her. He being a per¬ son ot whom she wsa somewhat in awe,, partic ularly "jeal at this lime," and throwing a look of ineffable disgust al Mrs. Darling, retreated to herown dominions to ve.nt her fury upon poor Peggy, who had done everything wrong during her absensB.
Whilo Col. Philpol was expressing his ex¬ treme saiiflfaction at aeeing Mrs. Darling, Mrs. Philpot emerged from tbe library, where she had been shaking in her shoes during the inter view beiween that lady and Mudlaw.
" Matilda, my dear," said the colonel, '¦' this is quite an unexpected plessure, for really, Mrs, Darling, wo began to fear that you did not in¬ tend to cultivate ua."
" I did not come forthat purpose," replied Mrs. Darling, who, now that ahe saw ihrough Col. Phitpoi, despised him thorougly, and waa not alraid to lot him know it, notwithstanding he belonged to the aristocracy of our town. " I came on an errand, and your cook has got very angry with me for some reason, I scarcely know what."
" Poor Mudlaw," said Mrs. Philpot, anxious to screen her main stay from the colonel's dis¬ pleasure, yet feeling the necessity of some apol¬ ogy to Mrs. Darling. " Poor Mudlaw ! I don't think sbe intended to bo rude."
" What! haa the cook been rude to Mrs. Dar¬ ling?" exclaimed Col. P.
" Not rudo, exactly, dear; but you know she is ao sensitive about everything connected with ber department, and she fancied thai Mrs. Dar¬ ling called her skill in question, and became somewhat excited."
" Quite excited, I ahould call it." said Mrs. D., with a smile.
"And she baa dared lo ireat Mrs. Dariing rudely!" said Col. P., apparently much agita¬ ted. " Shameful I disgraceful! the wretch shall suffer for it! To think that a lady liko Mrs- Darling shouldbe insulted by a cook ! inmy house, too !'
' And juat before election, too ; il is a pity !' said Mrs Dariing quietly, as she rose, and wish-, ing them good-morning, departed, leaving Col. Philpot lost in astonishment. Her last remark rendered necessary tome explanation from Mrs. P. Shewas compelled lo repeat somo partof the conversation ihat had token place in the kitchen, whicb, ihough softened down as mnch as possible, was BofBcient lo rouse the colonel's indignation to the higheat pitch, for he saw at once that Darling was lost. He gavo hia silly wife a hearty blowing up, but upon Mudlaw his wrath fell heaviest. No entreaties of her mis tress could save her; she was commanded to quit the promises, to troop forthwith * for being rudo to visitors.' But Mudlaw knew well enough the real rsason of her dismissal, and when aho west forth in rage and sorrow, ahe found some consolation in spreading it far and wide, thereby making Col. Philpot vexy ridicu¬ lous in the eyes of tbe community.
"Well, I'maurprisPd, Hester,' said John Darling, after hiB wiia had given him a cireum- ataniial account of her viait. * And I am right sorry, too, to have my good opinion of a man knocked in the head so, for I did think well of Col. Philpot. I really believed we couldn't fiend a beuer man to Congress, But il won't do^
A raan tbat can sloop to sncb conduct isn't fil lo go there. I can't rote for him, and my influ¬ ence, what little I bave, must go against him.— ' If ha gets there, it must be withoui any help from John' Darling.
CoK Philpot did not go to Cocgress, and what made his defeat tho more aggravating waa the fiujt that hia opponent was elected by tbe^ mnall im^ioiity of three votea. Andao ,Cdl;-Fhifp<it lost bit fllsetion; and Mn. Philpot loit bvr
cook; ahd'Mr. Darling lost his eateem for Col. Philpot, oind air throngh the over-^poUteneaa o^ the lotior.- .- .-¦
And waa there nothing gained ! Oh, yes ; Mrs. Darling gained something. .Not much in¬ formation in regard to the potato pudding, cer¬ tainly ; but she gained some knowledge ot the internal arranj^ements of Mrs. philpot's house¬ hold, which proved of great aervice to her, for she confesBes to John thatshe waiineVflr bo con¬ tented with her own home and hsr own huaband as she has been since ehe made . that memorable call at Cot.

" Scylla and Gharibdis," or a Shanghai in Tronble,
Every body has his trials, and so has a Shang. hai. There are hnman ills, and Shanghai ills. Man is born to trouble, and so tire the Shang. hais. Human strength wilt not always guard against miafortune, nor will the tall proportions of a Shanghai shield him always from '.harm. We eaw this illuBtrated at the Poultry Show, the " fowl convention," at Van Vechten Hall yesterday, in iho'aase of a long-necked, bandy¬ legged, big-boddied, red-combed rooster of tfae Shanghai faraily. Ho was a tall bird, even of bis giant species, and no body knew tbo fact betier than himself. He was a proud bird, vain ofhis proporiions, vain of his white plumage, of the feathers on his big lega, of hia great red comb, proud of his rough, rooring voice. His coop, in which ha and his wife, who waa quito as vain and proud as her lord, dwelt, was barred in front with round rods, like a lion's cage, and was cuvered with slats at the top, between which ho could poke his head and long neck, when bo desired to stretch and tako the kinks out of himself. Oneitherside woro other birds, in coops, ranged along separately from the tall Shanghai only by a very thin deal partition, while above were oihers still on a line wiih the 'op of his cage.
The Shanghai, we said, wasa proud bird, and in the fullness ofhia vanity, ho opened hia great beak and crowed with the voice of ntrom- bone, that wenl bellowing along the arcbea and oul tbrougb the roof, and rumbling on the air like the growl of tbe ihunder, or the roaring of a lion of lho desert just gone with the asthma^ or sick with the mumps. "Hear that," said Shanghai to himself and bis hen, who replied | with 0 hoarse " Cul, cut, cada-a-a" ot approba- i tion. ' * Cock a dood le do-'o-o" came in a clarion , voice, clear and muaical as a bell, from an ad- joiningcoge. " Who the deuce are you," said Shanghai, as he stuck his haad out between tbe bara ofhia cage, around the partition, and eyed with extreme contempt his puny neighbor. Shanghai never committed a greater error in his lifo. Tbat neighbor was an Irish game-cock, as full of pluck and fight aa waa ever a son of the " Green Iale" of poteon, with spurs liko a har¬ poon, and when ho took Shanghai by his grea' red comb, and made a pasa at him with hi° armed heela, it was only the bars that saved him from wounds and death.
To eay that Shanghai waa astonished, would do infinite injustice to bia emoiions.   He roared wiibaffright and pain, and with a bound be reach¬ ed the opposite side ofhia cage, ond stuck  bia head through thc bara there, in a vain effort to escape,as if sure that his enemy was at his tail- Here was another mistake, for bis greot comb and stretched out neck came directly in front of the cage ofan EngUah pheasant game-cock, quite as courageous nahis Iriah neighbor, and full as ready for nfight. He seized the shanghai by bis sensitive helmet, and made a " shy" at him with his   deadly  apura.    Shanghai  screamed wilh timazemeni and terror.   He rushed to the rear of hia cage, and thrusting his head beiween the slats jumped and heaved against them as if positive that he had now two enemies instead ofone in hie rear, all ibe time crying murder in his harah- eat and roughest notes.   Here agoin was a mia- tak-a, for in his struggles ho came close to the bars of a Mexican game-chicken, wbo unlike the gasconading Ilidalgoes among whom he was bred had pluck as well aa big words and tall crowing^ Before Shanghai waa aware of his danger tho Mexican bird seized him bythe beard and struck at bini Wiih'bit keen spurs  vi'Iih the force of a catalpult.   Shanghai was now in extremity. He absolutely bellowed wilh   affright; on   ev^ry hand was destruction, and ho know not where to turn.   On all aides was he beset with danger and death, and without Knowing that therein was his enfely, ho yielded in utter despair to hit fate; with a cry liko the scream of a locomotive he settled down in the centre of bia cage and stretch¬ ed his neck cut along the straw as if saying, " t am a bird of peace ; I detest war and fighting; I am an oppressed and persecuted Shanghai, and ifmy destruction is determined upon I will die here an unresisting victim to the crueliieB ofmy kind."   To his surprise he found himself unas- sailed.    He raised his head genlly  from the Biraw, lurned up first onc eye,  then iho other, uttered a low moaning sound as if he thought a hawk was in the sky, bul seeing nothing of dan¬ ger, at last got on bis fcet, and took a survey of bis position and theextent of his injuries. True, a drop or iwo of blood trickled from his wounded comb, but he seemed consoled for that by ihe great fact, that he had been mora scared than hurt.   He keeps his head insido the bars, and corn will not tempt bim to thrust his comb in reach of bis neighbors.   He hae done   up bia crowing for the present, and  contents himself with talking in a low voice,  and confidential way with his wife.
Moral,—Shanghais, whether thoy wear feath¬ ers or not, should remember that a thundering voice and loud crowing, is no equivalent for courage, and if they trespass upon tbe privacy of their neighbora, lhey will be very likely to get their combs cut.—Alhany Scgiater.
Look Before You Kick.—A minister of one ofour orthodox churches, whilo on his way to preach a funeral sermon in the counlry, called 10 sec ono of bis members, an old widow lady, who lived neor tho road he was traveling. Tho old lady had just been making sauaagea, and she fell proud of thom—they were so plump, round and sweet. .Ofcourse, she insisted on her min- I ister taking eome of tbe links home to his fami- ' ly. He objected on accouni of not baring bis portmanteau along. This objection was booh overruled, and the old lady after wrapping them in a rag, carefully placed a bundlo in oither pocket ofthe preacher's capacious greai-coaf— Thus equipped he starved for the funeral.
While attending lo the solemn ceremoniea of tbe grave some hungry dogs scented the sau sages, and were not long in tracking them to the pockets ot the good man's overcoat. Of course, this was a great annoyance, as he was several times under the necessity of kicking these whelps away. The obsequies at the gravo being completed, the minister and the congre¬ gation repaired to the church, whero the funera discourse was to be preached. Afierthe sermon waa finished, tbe minister halted to make some remarks to his congregation, when a brother, who deaired to have an appointment given out, j ascended the ateps of tho pulpit, and gave the ' minister's coat a hitch, to get bis aitention. The divine, thinking it a dog having designs upon his pocket, raisod bis foot, gove a sudden kick, and sent the good broiher sprawling down tbe steps!
" You will excuse me, brethren and Bisters," said the minister, confusedly, and without look¬ ing at the work he had just dono, *' for I could not avoid it—I have sausages iu my pocket, and that tarnation dog has beon trying to grab them over since I came on the premises !"
" Your reader^ may judge tho effect such an¬ nouncement would have at a' funeral. Tears of Borrow were suddenly exchanged for amiles of merriment."—Germantown Emporium'

AN OLD StOBT EBCAST,
Bruiser waa sadly cnl one mprning—ont at el¬ bows, out of work, but- of caah, and "out of BOTls."   He waa very dry, ahd yei unablo to buy a single glasa of grog.   He was weak aad nervouB, inconsequence ofthe last ;ntght'8 de¬ bauch.   Hifl' hande irembled,    his step was foible, his mind irresolute, his pockets, entirely empty.   And yet, after dragging himself at a late hour of the morning from his miserable couch, he crawled (orth into the atreot*, Ideter-' mined in some way or other to get a drink. ' He '¦ firat ooughi bis old haunts, and tried, where he faad already apent all his money, to gel trusted for "jnst one drink;"  but bis credit was good for nothing, and he was unceremoniously turned away from one dram shop after anoiher, ae dry aa when ho entered.   Happy had it  been for him, ifhe had been ejected from lhe same dens of pollution long years bofore.   Butno, hewas most welcome, so long aahe could bring even three fed coppers at a t'lme.—But with Bruiser all these palmy days were past.   Hewaa clear down atthe foot of the hill.   And yet on this morning he felt tba ho muat have a drink.   He should die if he did not.   And the fact was Bruiser had been a man ofsome wit in his day.— He had been capable of taking cara of himseli — He had been   ready atan expedient to meeta necessity ; allhough there was not much left of him now but bloated beastiality.   Butstilldrink he mus mow havo.   So, after meeting with as many rebuffs among his old friends and bosom companions as he tfaought be could boar on a frosty morning, he sallied forth intothe street. After turning a corner^ andgetting alittle out of sight, he slopped short,   leansd againstihe fionco, and began more resolutely to consider what could bp done*   A thought struck hjm. He started for the house of agood, kind woman wbo was never known to turn the needy away empty frora her door.   On tho way be drew the romnante of an oid bandana "from his  pocket, which was too far gone to have been pawned for a three cent glasa, or elso ho wouldnot have bad it, and tied it with as much caro as he could around his face and head, as though suffering from a dreadful toothache.
Having arrived at the kitchen door, he knock¬ ed and waa admitted. The good old lady was called, and he began his set oration. In hia best days he had excelled in happy address, and he now tried to rally all his remaining strength. "Pray, madam, could you give me anytbing to cure the toothache ? Ihave it so horrible that 1 have not slept a wink all night, and this mor¬ ning I am almoat crazy." And hc piessed his band heavily upon his hand as ho spoke, ma¬ king all manner of contortions wuh that part of his bloated visage which peered above the ban¬ danna. The good woman was quito affecied by his sufferings.
"Well," eaid she, "what doyou want I what wilt relieve you ?"
He thought if he could put a little raw rum in his moutb, it would be most Iikely ofany thing to stop the pain. Tho rum bottle, containing a little which was kept for medicine waa produ¬ ced ; for tba good woman was not so wel! versed in theso things as to suspect any trick, or to observe that he was already soaked in rum. The procesa ofholding the aoothing liquid in hismouth was commenced. The pain wss all in a targe back tooth. In order perfectly to drown that molar, pain and all, it was necessary to take a large mouthful of tho rum and then throw the bead a liule back, lo tho exact ploce. But, strange to aay, the first mouUifull of rum almost immediately slipped down his -throat. He expressed considerabl» regret, but felt the absolute necessity of trying another. Andyet tbai eoon shared the same fato. Andao anoiher, andanother, until he declared he would tri/an hnndred times Itut that he would sitcceed in hold¬ ing some itl his mouth!—But ns we could noi delayany, welefthim in those trying circum¬ stances.
CSrAjfELMASTExrEAor.—The sea isthe Urgeat of cemetriea, and iis Blamberera aleep wilhout a monument.  .AU grave-yards, inal| |.other lands, show some aymbol of dlBlinction between the great and the small, tbe rich and the poor; but in thg ocean cemetery the king andlhe clown, the prince and the peasant, are alike undiatinguished.   The same wave  rolla ; pver all—the aamo requium  suog by the min- atrelsyoftbeocean aung to thair honor.   Over | their remains the same atorm boats, and the same aun   shinea; and tbere,  unmarked,   the weak and the powerful, the plumed and unhon* ored will sloep on, until awakened by tho same trump, wben the sea will give up ita dead.   I thought of aailing overthe slumbering but devo- ted Cookman, who after  a brief, but brilliant career,  perished in  the   Preaident—over tbe laughter-loving Power who went down   in tbe same ill-fated vessel, we may have passed.   In that cemetery sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher; but where fae and   thousands of others ofthe noble spirits of the earth lie, no one but God knoweth.   No marble rises to   point out wbere thoir aahes are gathered, or where lhe lovera oflhe good or wise can go lo shed the tear of aympathy.   Who can lell where lie the tens of thousands of Africa's sons who perish in tbe   "middle passage?>'   Yet   thai cemetery bath ornaments ol Jehovah.   Never canl forget my days and nights, as I passed over the noblest of cemeteries without   a single monument.— Giles.
Epauletts akd Hods.—A member of Con¬ gress baa proposed to increase the pay of the of- ficsra of the army, and has offered oa an argu¬ ment in favor of snch increase ef pay, the fact tbat brick-layers in San Francisco receive more pay for their work than colonels in the army^ and hod-carriers get more than captains do for their work.
Ifthis ba so (aays a cotemporary) tbere is no occasion for an increase of pay in ihe army ; all the colonels who want higher pay have only to learn the trade of brick-layers and go to San Franciaco, where they can servo iheir country more effectnolly than most of thom now do.— There tbey can help to build up their country's glory upon a solid foundation. And as for the coptains, ihey can gel an increase of pay witbout taking up their timo in learning a trade, for any body can * tote de hod,' and tfais employment^ woutd suit admirably, for tbeir epauleites would be useful as well^as ornamental, and besides this, to an ambitious man there can be no employ¬ ment by which ho can rise more rapidly.

Cadet Life at West Point-
The majority ot our young n-en, no doubt' think that the life ofa Weal Point student is one of exlraordinary easo and comfort—that be has nothing to do but, to go through a lew miliinry evolutions each day, ramble among the pleasant walks, or recline upon the banks ofthe river, j underthe shading branches of trees, and waich the wbite saila ofsloop or schooner, or the gaily painted ateamer, as they pasa, or linger the ' leaves of aome pleasant book of romance or poet- ; ry. To the ciiy person, the place presents peculiar features of attraction, commanding, as it does, HUch fine viewa of the river and surroun¬ ding cotintry ; and he is apt to supposo, judging from the pleasures excited in himself by a fiying visit, that thc cadet must necessarily lead a dreamy, easy kind of iife, while hemuat toil and loil, delighted ifhe can only aecure one or two daya recreation in the course of the year. To such shallow thinkers, wc commend the follow ing, promising that its perusal will convince them thai the lifo of ihe cadet has leas charms than tbey supposo. We doubt whether the majority ofthe young men in the city would be wiUing to exchange positions with them.
The cadet sleeps in the barracks, in a room with ono other. At five in the morning in summer, and al halfpasi five in the. winier, the reveille awakens him ; ho immediately arises, doubles up his blanketa and mattress, and places them on the head of his iron bedstead. He studies until seven o'clock, at that hour the dium beats lor breahfast, and the cadets fall inio rank and proceed to tho mess hall. Twenty minutes is the usual lime spenl at breakfaat. Guard- mounting takes place at hali-posi aeven, and twenty four aro placed on guard cvery day. At eight o'clock, the bugle sounds, and the re- citations commence. At one o'clock the bugle again sounds, the professors dismiss their respec¬ tive stations, the cadets form ranks opposite iho barracks and march to dinner. Between eleven and one, a part ofthe cadets are occupied in ri¬ ding and othera in fencing daily. After dinner thoy havo until two o'clock for recreation, and from two to four they aro employed in recitations At fouro'clock thc bugle aounda, and ihcy go to oither battalion or light artillery drill. Thia ex¬ ercise lasts an hour and a half. After lhat thoy devote their time to recreation until parade which takes place at sunset. After parade they form into ranks in tront o( the barracks, and the names of the delinquents arc read by an officer ofthe cadets. Supper comes next, and afier Bupporrocreation unti! eight o'clock, when the bugle sounds a call to qusrters, and every cadet m*Bt be found in his room within a few minutes at study, and must remain ihero thus employed until half-past nine. At half-past nine the bugle again sounds; this is called tattoo; and atten tha drum taps, and every cadets must be in bed, having hia ligbt extinguished, and muat remain tbere until morning. If, during the night, the cadet is found to bo absent from his room more than thirty minutes, and does not give a satiafac¬ tory account of himself, charges are preierred against him, and be is court martialed.
The uie of intoxicating drink and tobacco is strongly repudiated; so are playing at chess, wearing whiskers, and a great many other things Tho punniahmont to which cadet arc liab Ie, nro privation of recreation, &,c., extra hours ot duty reprimands, arreats, or confinemeni^to his room or tent; confinement in light priaon, confinement in dark prison, dismission %vith the privilege of resigning, and public dismission.
Through the montha of July and August, the cadets are encamped, and during the encamp ment the'inatruction is exclusively military-
The only furlough allowed to cadets is two months, when they are in the third class.
The pay ofthe cadets is twenty-four dollars a momh, and his board coats him ten of this. From the balance he is required to dress and defray his other expenses, and ho is prohibited from contracting debis without.
As the reward for hia labor and deprivation, the cadet acquires an oxcellent education; in DiathematicB better probably than he can get s^ eny other institution in tho country. The train¬ ing here of both body and mind is very thorough and complete.
{0~ Have you ever observed how aoon a man assumes the siarchineas of his dickey when " lho people" elevate him a liltle ? The lower the office, aa a general thing, the raore insolent you will find ihe occupant. Some of our pel- bank cashiers put on more airs than the Gov¬ enor of the Stale; while we have seen tbe boss ofa iwo-horae railroad line more difiiculi to come at, than the Judge of a Supreme Court. Preaident Pierce is fnr more accesaiple ihan the Secretaries; while the Secretaries are much moro accessible than the Clerks. The moat in¬ solent man we ever found al the " Whito Houae" waa a footman. 'The fact is ,the mora buck- wheat a man's head contains, where brain? ought to be. the more ho runs away with the ideo ihtt being " sasay" and keeping hia hair slicked up is being dignified. Did you ever notice the matter?

Jfy- Thia is the golden ago of imposters, For tune-tellers, Jeremy ' Diddlera, cheats, quacks, and impostors of overy hue flouriah like the "green bay" treo, wbich establishes-the hu¬ miliating fact tbat the masses are not like men and women, " merely players,'' but downright gulls, credulous to a degree, so intensely green aa to admit of being humbugged to their very facda, and laughed at in the bargain. Herein is the secret of the success of Peter Funkism and every other dollar eiiraciing " ism*' oftho day ; and albeit these things do stir the blood as inslances of successful villainy, one hardly feels disposed to quarrel with the villains for fooling thc dupea to the top of their bent.
There isa closo connection between the war¬ drobe and lhe disposiiion. Let a man wear crosa grained panta for aix montha and begets sour in the head or chest. Checked goods make a woman miscellaneous in ber conduct. Those who flash and dash tn the garment way. always turn out tho same sort of wrinklea internally.— Philosophers on ihe * understanding' should bear this in mind.
Jf^r What is shew bread, Aunt ?' aaked Ike, who wns reading the Biblo consecutively, and tearing out the leavos aa he went along, so aa not to loose the place; " what is shew bread V ' Why, Isaac,' said Mrs. Partington, ' shoe bread ia that which tho people earn by making ahoes. There is plenty of it in Lynn-' DO" Mrs. Partington says that flour rises so fast there isnM the leaat need of ' emptings' in mak¬ ing bread.
