Mr.. Flowerdew Into its mouth ma
dam!
Mrs. M'Crie. TO be sure, where
else would you have it pui2 A pigs's
mouth was not given 10 it for morning.
Or jelly will do as well. Now I've tried
large bergamot preserved pear: but
sometimes the pigs neck is not wide e.
nough to admit pear Of size: and it's
troublesome squeezing it in.
MIR. Fiowerdew.-No doubt, madam:
I'd dangerous too.
Mr.. M'Crie.-Yes. if the neck breaks.
But when you make and NEEDLE with
pigs, you must remember that you deal
with slippery gear.
Mr. Flowerdew.-Nery true, madam
Mrs. M'Crie.-Well then, my lass car
ries the pig to the cow,and then she gent,
y milks pint and a half of warm milk
III upon the honey, or jelly, or pear, as it
may be.
Mr.. Flowerdcw,-Into the pig, madam!
Mrs. M'Crie.-To be sure, yes-lhat's
no difficult matter.
Mr.. Flowerdew.-Now madam, as lam
an ordinary sinner, that is on operation
that would puzzle all Lancashre-Into
its mouth
Mrs. M'Cric.-Wcll--I am astonished
at you, sir: Is th"re any mystery or sor-
Gerry in Bell holding pig with one hand,
and milking a COW with the t'other.
Mr.. ElowcrLew-l really, madam. in
my innocence Of heart, thought that the
7ig might run.
Mrs. M'Cric.-Run over? No doubt
so it would if you filed it too full. So
home comes the pig.
Mr.. Flowcrdew-Or itself madam!
Mrs. McCrie-Sir, dear sir, you speak
as if the pig could walk
Mr. Flowcrdew.-l beg a thousand par
dons, madam. truly forgot all the milk
and jelly that was in it. 1t would be ex-
lraoldinary if it could.
Mrs. M'Cric. Very, sir. So the lass
brings me my lame pig
MIR. Flow erdcw.-th! that's another
reason for it's not walking! Well; may
! be drawn to a thread if can divine why
Non prefer IRMc pig.
Mrs. M'Clie.-You need not 90 10
Rome to learn that. A lame pig is al
ways the handiesl. So, ! begin to stir
and stir the milk aud jolly
MIR, llowcrdew.-S!ir and stir. maAam,
Mrs. M'Cric. Aye, to mix all well up
together.
Mr.. Flowcr1cw.-And may entrea, to
know with what you stir ia
Mrs, M'Cric.-WlIh IL spoon to be sure;
you would not have me stir it with my
fingers.
Mr.. Observation-Disclosures forbid;
ma,'am would use (if ever employed in
The manner You mcnlion) spoon with O
mostrcsp"c!ahly long handle.
Mrs. M'Cric.-li's better to be Of length
certainly, Sit: for nothing can escape you
thcn. Well, the mex, thing we 60 is to
gently put the pig afore the fine to sim
mer.
Mr.. FlowerGew.-To simmer.
Mrs, NJ 'Crc.-Yes. sir, and there to LEI
it'stand silI it smokes again. But you
must not let it get ever ho,: it ould burn
The milk
Mr.. Flowerdew.-And the pig too,
madam.
Mrs, N 'Cric.-Oh that's nothing. We
don't trouble ourselves about the pig
What were they made lor2
Mr.. Flowerdew.-Why truly, madam,
| thought till ibis day, knew something
aoou, their history, but find have been
woe'ully ignorant.
Mrs. M'Crie.-We cannot reach perrcc-
ton at once, as our goodman says who
by the bye has been asleep this half hour
as sound as top.) And SO after the pig
has simmered and simmcrcd, we in with
tile spoon again
Mr.. FIowerdew.-Again, madam.
Mrs. M'Crle.-Yes: you must give it
another stir or two, till it sings.
Mr.. Flowerdew-Sings. madam And
does the pig make no other noise during
all this operation?
Mrs. M'Cre. Scarce any other fits a
good pig: but all depends upon that. I've
seen p g that afore the heat had touched
lis sides mater of FIVE minutes would 90
off in crack.
Mr. Flowerdew.-I don't wonder at
that, madam, hot in the least
Mrs. Merely GU ,couId wonder. if
your English pigs had half the strength of
our Scotch.
Mr.. Flowerdew.-Possibly, madam.
Mr.. NJ Crlc.--Of verify, there was
apig once that played me m ost mischan-
ry trick. You see expected party Of
our prcsby!ery to dinner: and had sen,
our Bell out for the most capacious pig
she could grip, and | had poured in the
right quantity of hot milk on the goose
berries | was making gooscberry pos
set and all went we'll: but when though!
it was done t" a hair, out jumped a hot
cinder. Our Bell, the hussey, sprang to
one side the pig went to the oiher--all
was ruipeI
