':The doctor Uttered. After short grace,
Boswell said
81 suppose | have to carve as usual
Wha, part shall help you top
"The doctor replied-'My dear boy,
did not like TO tell you before, but ! am de-
termined 10 abstain from meat to-day
so dear, This is grea. disappointment,
said Bozzy.
"Say no more, shall make amends with
the pudding.
| "Boswell commenced the attack, and made
the first Gu, al the mutton. How The gravy
runs; what fine favored fat, SD nice and
brown, too; all cir, you would have rellshed
this prime piece of mutton
THE mea, being removed, in came the
long wished for pudding. The dector look
ed joyous; fell TO, aud in few moments
nearly finished all the pudding. And Mr..
| Boswell said
"'Doclor, while was carving the mutton
you seemed inclined to laugh pray tell me
what lickled your fancy
"The doctor then literally told him all
.ha, had passed at the kitchen fire, about the
boy and The bas!ing. Boswell turned as
/ pale parsnip, and sick of himself and
the company, dared out of the room. Some
what relieved, on returning he insisted on
seeing The dirty li'ile rsscally boy, whom
he severe y reprImanded before Johnson.-
/ The poor boy cried--ihe doctor laughed.
"'Y ou lIltle filthy sniveIlng hound,' said
Boswell, 'when you bas,ed the meat why
did you not put on the cap ! saw you in
this morning.
81 couldn't sir said the boy.
"Why couldn't you,' said Boswell.
"'Becsuse my nanny took it from me
TO boil The pudding in.'
"The doctor gathered up his herculean
frsme-stood erect--touched the ceiling
with his -squlned-indeed, looked
any way but the night way. AT last, with
mouth wide open. aud none of The smallest,
and stomach heaving. he, with some dIfiul-
ty, recovered his breath and looking al Bos-
well with dIgnItied contempt, he roared out
"'Mr Boswell sir, leave off laughing.
and under pain of my eternal di>pIeasure,
never utter single syllable Of this admir-
able adventure TO any man living while you
breathe.'"
THE GooD WIFE- She commandeth her
oheying him. ], was alwa,s observed that
what the English gained Of the French in
battle bv valour, the French reganed of the
English by cunning in treaties. SO If the
husband should chance by his power, in
his passion, to prejudice his wle's right, she
wisely knoweth, by compromising and com
plying, to recGlly it again.
She never crosselh her husband in The
springiIde Of bis anger, bu, Stays ill il be
ebbng water. And then mildly she argues
the matter, not so much to condemn him,
as to acqut herself.
She keeps home if she have not her huS-
bands company or leave for her patent to
90 abroad. For the house Is the woman'S
centre.
Her clothes are rather comely than cost
|y and she makes plain cloth to be velvet
by her handsome wearing it. She is none
of our dainty danes, who love TO appear in
variety Of suits every day new, as if good
gown, like d stratagem in war, were TO be
used but once.
Her husbands secrets she will not hi-
vulge. Especially she is careful TO conceal
his nfrmiies. If he be none Of the wisesr
she so orders it that he appears on the stage
but seldom, and then he hath cnnned his
part so well That he comes off with great
applause.
10 her husbands sickness she feels more
grief than she shows. Partly that she may
not dishearten him, and partly because she
is not at leisure TO seem so sorrowful, that
she may be the more servicable.
The heaviest work of her servants she
makelh ligh, by orderly and seasonable en-
joying it. Wherefore her service is accoun-
ted a pre(erment, and her teaching better
than her wages.
