WHAT IS VULGARLY CALLED "A TWISTER V'l
As exemplified by the description of a Stonischii
watching its hard tasks come down to it from the regit)v
above between dinner and bedtime.—First comes a.plate'
soup and bread, and a glass of sherry; "I can mans,
that," says the Stomach. Then a plate of fish, with mole
bread and more sherry; "and that," adds the Stomao
" though these sauces don't quite agree with me." TheO
comes beef, or mutton, or both, and stout ; then game to)
sherry; then a dish of tart; " Confound this pastry," PI/
the Stomach, "it gives me more trouble than anythill
else ; but if the master will only stop here, I think, if I Oa
out all my powers, I can get even this rubbish out of ale
way." But she has hardly taken this hopeful view of tilof
case, when down come 2heese, celery, apples, oranges, rill! r
figs, almonds and raisins, port, sherry, claret, and a turaV`,
of hot Hollands and water. " Good gracious, was ther,
ever such a mess ?" exclaims the stomach; " what can th
man mean? Does he think one pair of hands can 11-alto
all this ?" Still the willing slave goes to work,
presently there is a rush of hot tea from above, with a t"til
slice of bread-and-butter. Aud when the Stomach 91101
infinite labour has got the hodge-podge into some or",
of
homogeneous shape, and is preparing to take a nap •
exhaustion, lo I a devilled drumstick rushes into its lab();
tory, two devilled kidneys, a bottle of stout, and

tumblers of hot brandy and water.

THE MEANING OF " WlLLlAM."—Derived -t0
oo
the language of the old Teutonic race, Wit-hely:l,
helmet of many, signifies one who protects and defroo
many. Willi or Viii is still preserved in the Ger tor
",viel," many; so too is " helm," with the identical 03erip
ing of old (which grew out of the word " hilma"), to C° e
lathe Icelandic " hialmr" is helmet ; in the Saxon " he'.)
signified to cover, to protect ; in our own language, dart
from those above mentioned, familiar to all is the " plug
helm" of Shakspeare and all our poets. Scarcely less bashtiful is the other meaning of this doubly significant p „r(
the Saxon " helma" signitying the helm or upper por,tig
the rudder, which is grasped by the steersman who gel 1
the ship. Is not our common name of William, tbejl;l
name to live up to ? A helmet of defence, a protector ;
helmsman, a guide to many ! To those who care for it/
significance of names there is a delight in readio9
" Life of William Pitt," at the appropriateness °di
name to " the pilot who weathered the storm."49fr
