MRS. BROWN ON CHRISTMAS.—I never did know
anythink so downright ridiculus as the way parties goes on
now about Christmas, as they begins weeks afore it come ;
why, as to sayin' it only comes once a year, it seems to me to
come overand over agin ; for I'm sure when I was a gal no-
thing wasn't much 'card of Christmas till a week afore, and
then only in makin' mincemeat and dressin' of the grocers'
shops and the poulterers' Christmas Eve, as looked cheerful
with the 'oily in the winder, and currants tenpence a pound
and the best raisin nineponco and a shillin', and the citron
and spices cost a deal, as now is next thing to nothing.
As to kitchin' sight of a almanac afore the new year, as was
always a shillin', and can now be 'ad for thankee, why it
wasn't to be looked for; and as to knowin' wnen Good
Friday would fall on Christmas-day, why it seemed like
presumption a-foretellin's so long before. But nowadays
it gives me quite a turn to see all about the new year long
afore the old one is out, as I says to Brown, as brought
'ome one of them Christmas books, "Why," I says, "they'll
be haymakin' next January, and wantin' green peas at
Chrismas. 1 ain't no patience with a-forciu' things aforo
they're in season, as never seems nat'ral."—Fun.
liippophagy is making rapid progress in Paris.
The number of establishments for the sale of horse-
flesh is rapidly increasing, especially in the poorer
quarters of the city, and epicures are of opinion that
au over-driven cab horse will soon become as pop-
lar a delicacy as a hunted hare.
