FORKS
Are an Italian invention, and in the
day. Of Queen Bess, were a perfect
novelty in England. At the close Of
the sixteenth century, our ancestors,
in eating, made free use Of their fin
gers, as the Turkish Doblesscs at pres
ent do. They were, indeed, most
indicate at their tables, scattering
on the table-cloth all their bones and
parings. To purify themselves from
the filthy condition Of their tables, the
servant bore long wooden ssyoiding
knife" by which he scraped tie frag-
ments from the table into basket, cal
led ga voider." Beaumont and
Fletcher describe the thing
They sweep the table with wooden
dagger"
In Germany, the use offorks was long
rsdiculed. and some uncleanly saints
actually preached against the onna.ur-
al custom, sas an insult on Providence
not to touch on. meat with ourfngers.'
The use Of the fork was Tidiculcd as
a strange afectation for long time in
England; and it does not appear to
have been much used before the res
tcratioE.

MY MOTHERS LAST PRAYER.

"God protect thee, my little one" said
my mother, as stood by her dying bed.
There was tremour in her fainting voice,
which checked the Joyous laugh which
trembled on my lip. 1, in childish JOY full
ness, shook the pale hand of my dying
parent from my head, and buried my
brow in the rich mass of bright hair which
Aoated over her pillow Again her sweet
voice sighed forth: ssLead her not into
temptation, but deliver her from evil. p
raised my head from It's beautiful rest
in place, and young as was, 1 felt the
influence Of my mothers prayer. Her
lips still moved, ano her deep blue eyes
were bent on me a. if they would have
left one of their bright, unearthlv rays, as
a seal to her death bed covenant: but she
spoke not again. The last effort Of ma
ture had uttered that prayer, land she lived
not TO breathe another. Ihave every rea-
son to believe that God, has, in a great
degree, caused that prayer to lie instru-

suspension of the Wing, of presenting our pa

somewhat improved in appearance. These
changes are attended with an expense of sew
eoral hundred dollars, without producing to us
any immediate return; yet encouraged, by the
success which has hitherto attended our under
taking, to hope that the patronage of liberal
community will not be withdrawn, we willing
lily make any sacrifice, and incur any expense
within our power, to meet the wants of the citi
zens OF Illinois, increasing almost daily in
numbers, intelligence and wealth. Our sub
iscrlbers and advertising patrons, have some
reason to complain of our late failures in issu-
ing our regular numbers We owe them MANY
apologies. The best we can offer is that we
were compelled to do so, or submit to greater
evil-to sui ject ourselves to a loss not easily
repaired; as it is we hope hereafter to make I'D
Tor any injury our patrons may have sustained
The present number of the Wing is not Of
/ the size we intend to make it. 1t will soon be
further enlarged by the addition of another
column to each page, which will make the
Wing by far the largest and cheapest paper in
the state. We should have made it of the full
size contemplated, but for disappointment
(no nfrequent occurrence) in the receipt OF
paper. In a week or two, we hope to be able
