MODESTY is a handsome dish-cover, that makes us fancy there must be something very good underneath it. WHEN concession is inevitable, it is wise to concede before necessity destroys both freedom of thought and dignity of movement. FRIENDSHIP is like a debt of honour; the moment it is talked of it looses its real name and assumes the more ungrate ful form of obligation. THE great source of pleasure is variety. We love to expect, and when expectation is disappointed, or gratified, we want to be again expecting. THE forms and ceremonies of politeness may be dispensed with, in a measure, in the relaxation of one's one fireside, but kind attentions never. WHATEVER may be the native vigour of the mind, she can never form any combinations from new ideas, as many changes can never be rung upon a few bells. WHEN an Irish girl was asked a few days ago, where her mistress was, who had gone to a water-care establishment, she replied that her ladyship had " gone to soak." AN American paper says, a man recently poked his head out from "behind the times," when it was taken off by a" passing event !" A WESTERN WRITER, in speaking of a new play- just written by a gentleman of Cincinnati, says,— 'the unities are admirably observed—the dulness which commences with the, first act never flags for a moment until the curtain falls." CASUISTRY.-It is rather a Jesuit's question, whether flinging a crown at a hard beggar, and cutting his head open with it, is charity. ESSENCE OF "PUNCH." CORRECT MEASUREMENT.—TeII me how many ladies'- maids a lady has had, and I will tell you her temper. SIR CHARLES NAPIER angrily refuses to be a G.C.B. We thought he was one already,—Graham's Cross Boy. MONEY MARKET AND SANITARY INTELLIGENCE.=-The un safest of all deposits is the deposit of the banks of the Thames. RAILWAY NEWS.—There is an old lady who says, that she always likes to travel by a trunk line, because then she feels confident about the safety of her luggage. THE USE OF ADULTERATION.— LittIe Girl : "If you please, sir, mother says, will you let her have a quarter of a pound of your best tea to kill the rats with, and a ounce of chocolate as would get rid of the black beadles ?" DOMESTIC AND POLITICAL ECONOMY COMBINED.— Mr. Briefless says, "It is with politics as with your linen—any sudden change is dangerous." A NATURAL REQUEST.—The " Fibre Company" has, it seems, been canvassing certain parties of the House of Lords for support. It is only natural that those who would make paper should apply to reputations that have gone to rags. A WHISPER TO BORES.—Bores should be lenient enough to bear in mind this truth :—that it is with the Fire of Con versation as with any other fire—little Sticks kindle it, great Sticks put it out. KING CLICQUOT'S COLOURS.—The wits of Frederick Wil liam have gone Berlin wool-gathering. The colour of the King's proceedings can no longer pass under the denomina tion of neutral tint ; and affairs in the quarter of Sans Souci are looking decidedly (Prussian) blue. CO-LOANIAL DEVICE.—A financial writer, who appears to have only partially considered his subject with reference to the law of meum and tuum, suggests that " the gold of Aus tralia ought to be used in reduction of our national debt." This ingenious plan for obtaining an advance is certainly the newest reading of the colonial motto, " Advance, Australia." AFFECTING ANECDOTE.— Some of the Russian prisoners, captured in the Kertch affair, have been brought to London. The other day they were taken upon one of the bridges, that they might have a sight of the Thames. No sooner did the odours of the river reach them, than they simultaneously ut tered a cry of delight, as if at a memory of home, and raptu rously exclaimed, " SivciM Sivcish !" —the Putrid Lea ? NEAPOLITAN FROG s.—The King of Naples, a great stranger in his own capital—can Naples have a better recommenda tion ?—went there on the occasion of the late fete. Where upon certain animals exclaimed—" Long live our absolute king !" When the king of the frogs took his subjects by mouthfulls, even the frogs (but then they were not Neapoli tan,) did not, according to Esop, croak—" Long live our abso lute stork !" CLEANSED OF HIS Ennoßs.—An aquatic enthusiast, who has just returned from the cold water cure, says he has had quite enough of it, and that he is fairly tired with the water and the walks, and the walks and the water, that beautifully vary one's amphibious existence at a hydropathic establish ment ; so much so, that henceforth he renounces the path-os and the bath-os that are usually laid on, like so much water from a water company, in praise of a Malvern, or Benrhydding life, the great charm of which consists in washing and rough drying (not to say, mangling) oneself all day long. LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S COAT OF OFFICE. — We understand from a reliable eaves-dropper in Downing-street, that the coat of office which Lord John has lately left oft' wearing will shortly be on view at Nathan's, the costumier, it being found unsuitable for any but mere masquerading purposes, We are told, indeed, that it presents upon inspection a most party coloured appearance, one half being of a bright military scarlet, while the other shows the sombre drab of the Peace Society. The coat, it is said, like the head of its late wearer, hears very evident marks of having been half turned within the last twelvemonth, and one of the sleeves has every appearance of having been much laughed in. SPIRIT OF " _DIOGENES." FISH INDIGENOUS 'TO 'THE RIVER THA.MES.—Scilelts. THE MOST DIFFICULT. ACHIEVEMENT IN DOMESTIC GEOMETRY.—Keeping the circle of our acquintancs square. ONUS PRODANDI.—A bandy-legged individual having to prove that his legs are straight. , ALE NOT ALL ALE.—It appears that ales are adulterated with an ingredient known as grains of paradise," from which we infer that any one possessed of a grain of common sense would prefer " Adam's ale" entire, and leave the paradise mixture out of the question. A REPLY TO LETTERS.—Sir Charles Napier, with a • sort of surly magnanimity, has refused the distinction of G.C.B. Vv ere all men equally conscientious in these particulars, their merits would become patent, or, in other words, we should know all men by their letters. THE military rewards, given somewhat indiscriminately to the several claimants, leaves one in doubt as to whether, at the game of Beat your neighbour out of doors, one counts most by tricks or honours ALL Wonx AND NO PLAY.—The announcements of the Crystal Palace fountains, invariably state that they will play at half-past four, weather permitting. This appears to us an odd sort of announcement in connexion with fountains, as we cannot possibly see why the weather should have anything to do with such a matter. We can easily understand that a gen tleman who is going up in a balloon would be anxious_to know which way the wind blows—and a tight-rope dancer might be excused hazarding speculations as to an approaching fall ; but the cases are not analogous ; and the squeamishness of the fountains in throwing up their engagements instead of throw ing up their water has not a shadow of excuse—or the most distant precedent. We trust, however, that this unworthy example will not be imitated by other Crystal Palace attrac tions. We should be sorry, for instance, to learn that the Victoria Regia had shut up, owing to a death in the family— or that the industrious artisans, who manufacture medals by the bushel, were turned out theniselves to spare their turning out any more. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY. LEMON CHEESE -CAKES, TO KEEE.—One pound of loaf sugar pounded, two lemons grated, and the juice strained, quarter of a pound of butter, six eggs—leaving out two whites. Let it simmer over the fire till it is as thick as honey : when cold put it in a jar, tied down with paper, and it will keep good a month. SALT SOUR CIIIMNEYS.—In building chimneys, put a quantity of salt into the mortar with which the intercourse of bricks are to be laid, and the effect will'be that there will never be any accumulation of soot in that chimney. The phi losophy is thus stated: the salt, in the portion of mortar which is exposed, absorbs mortar every damp day ; the soot thus becoming damp falls down to the fire-place. [Very agreeable!] —A late American publication. A VERY EXCELLENT AND CHEAP CAKE.—Two pounds and a-half of flour, three-quarters of a pound of sugar, three quarters of a pound of butter, half a pound of currants, or a quarter of a pound of raisins, quarter of a pound of orange peel, two ounces of caraway seeds, half an ounce of ground cinnamon, or ginger, four teaspoonfuls of carbonate of soda ; mixed well, with rather better than a pint of new milk. The butter must be well melted previous to being mixed with the ingredients. EPICUREAN SAUCE.—lndian soy, two ounces, walnut and mushroom catsup, of each eight ounces ; port wine, two ounces ; white pepper, bruised, half an ounce ; eschalots, three ounces; cayenne, a quarter of an ounce ; cloves, half an ounce. Macerate for fourteen days in a warm place ; strain, and add sufficient white wine vinegar to make exactly one pint. The above forms a piquant sauce for chops, steaks, &c. For fish, a little essence of anchovy, and an additional quantity of vinegar, should be added. • • ECONOMICAL Dism—Cut some rather fat ham or bacon into slices, and fry of a nice brown ; lay them aside to keep warm : then mix equal quantities of potatoes and cabbages bruised well together, and fry them in the fat left from the ham. Place the mixture at the bottom, and lay the slices of bacon on the top. Cauliflower, or broccoli, substituted for cab bage, is delicious, and, to any one possessing a garden, quite easily procured —as those newly-blown will do. The dish must be well seasoned with pepper. WHITEWASH FOE OUTHOUSES, FENCES, &c.—Take a barrel that will hold water; put in half a bushel of quick lime; slack it with boiling water sufficient to cover it four or five inches deep, and stir it until slacked. When slacked, dissolve in water and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of common salt, which is to be applied as the ordinary white ! wash, and with same brushes. In a few days it will harden on the wood-work. To make it of a cream-colour, add three pounds of yellow ochre : for fawn colour, four pounds of umber, one pound of Indian red, and one pound of lampblack. To MAKE RAISED PlES.—Take a pound-and-a-half of the best lard, three-quarters of a pint of new milk ; boil them together, stir the boiling mixture , into four pounds of flour ; knead the paste well, and set it down to the fire twenty minutes before using. To raise the crust of a pie, you must take the paste warm, roll it out, and mould it (a decanter will do in default of a proper one ;) when cold, take it off, and fill it with pork and veal, which must be cut about the size of dice, seasoned with white pepper, salt, and a little dried sage ; put on the tops, and to make glossy, smear with the white of an egg. Oak leaves cut out of the paste and laid round the pie, to form a wreath and au acorn in the centre, will be found very ornamental.
