shrimp sauce" Pope esteemed stewed lam

"new honey and clouted cream" and to a vo-
racious attachment to leg of mutton. Dryden
had vulgar stomach. and loved chine Of
honest bacon,'' with love that new no waning.
DR.. George Fordyce held in high esteem for a
single meal the following articles viz pound
and a-half of rump steak, half broed chicken,
plate of fish, a bottle of port, quarter of a
pint of brandy, and tankard of strong ale -
Baron Mosores protested great fondness for dry
toast. In one of his poems he expresses the
opinion that he would have been suitable per-
son to have lived when acorns were the food of
mep-thereby confessing a simplicity of taste
striklngly in unison with that of the Diggers.-
Swift thought more of the "bill of company {"
than of the bill of fare We may also read
that Gen. Washington had peculiar weakness
for old Virginia cash pone," and Othello init
mated, under certain unpleasant circumstances,
singular fancy to "feed upon the vapors of

that our tastes are so varied as to include all of

waved over Sebastopol. latter report says

it may be considered as issuing from the tomb
where truth alone can be respected and the hap
piness of man alone consulted. II will be entitled

good intentions, and from the experience of one
who has served his county in various stations
through a period OF forty years; who espoused in
OF its liberty; and who has borne part in most OF
the great transactions which will constitute epochs
OF its destiny.
The advice nearest to my heart and deepest in
