BETTY's SrRIkE.-A few weeks ago,
wealthy farmer in Philadelphia, hav-
ing hired a cook who had been highly
recommended to them, she was ordered
one day TO prepare among other things
hash for dinner. rhe hash came
and was charming-all eagerly partak-
ing of it until the dish was scraped out.
So popular after this did the hash of the
new cook become that it was nothing
but hash every day. At last the poor
cook, bringing in large dish of it, the
perspiration pouring down her face,
which was as red as coal of fire, she
set it down, and turning TO her mistress
and drawing herself up, said, Madam
| strikes !" Why, what is the matter,
Betty?' "Cause, ma'am, | can't give

HoLDiNo THE PLouGH. A friend re-
lates an occurrence, which fell under
his own observation, few days ago, in
Andover, which is uncommonly "fresh."
A recent emigrant had applied for en-
ployment to farmer, and being asked
if he was acquainted with all sorts Of
farm labor, replied without hesitation in
the affirmative. He was accordingly
engaged, and the next morning sent to
"hold the plough" with the son of his
employer to drive. After the horse was
tackled in, the boy gave him a start (;
but hearing an exclamation behind, tur-
ned and bebed the son THE green isle,
ploughing up the ground with his heels,
which were firmly set, while he was
straining every muscle TO maintain his
position, and crying out, Stop! stop |!
how can hould the plough, if you make
the horse drag it away from me !"-Sa-

SWALLOWING A MAN.

Some of the papers relate a feat of
Signor Blitz's performances which a.
mounted to the same as swallowing an
entire manor rather he bet that he
could do it, and won the wager.
a gentleman challenged the magician
TO swallow him, and wagered s 100 that
he could not do it. The signor took it
up, and appeared on the spot in due sea-
son with large pot of grease TO help
out with his meal. The gentleman was
also there when the following conversa-
ton took place:
Arc you ready for the attempt 7" in
CURED the magician.
Already" was the reply.
"Will you please take off your hat ~
Certainly" returned the other.
Now your boots, there may be nails
in the heels of them"
go yes," answered the gentleman.
/" Now off with your coat, the buttons
would be likely to cut against my teeth"
"Of course"
" Now your pantaloons and shirt"
"Why, sir, do you intend that l shall
strip entirely?"
Yes, why not? agreed to swallow
you, but the clothes were not in the bond.
By stripping and thorough greasing,l pre-
sumo | shall be able to perform the feat
without much difficulty"
That's your game is it - asked the
man, little timid. "In such case you
are quite welcome to the money"
