An Epicure in the Legislature.

A Legislative assembly, gathered as it is
from all quarters and every profession, must
necessarily include all varieties of character,
and some of a most amusing kind.
Several years since, the town of saw
fit to elect a sturdy farmer, whom the love Of
travel had never led out of the precints of his
native county, to the onerous post of mem
Der of the General Court
Arriving in Boston, our friend, being hun
cry, and desirous of taking something substan-
tial 'for the stomach's sake,' found his way
into one Of our principal hotels, at the dinner
hour.
He sat down to dinner, and being requested
by the waiter TO select from the bill of fare
whatever he chose, expressed desire for
some baked beans.
This was brought him, and from tho sus,u
with which it was eaten, evidently suited our
representative. The plate was cleared in an
incredibly short space of time, and the at,en-
tive waiter was at his side.
Will you have your plate changcdl'
-tYes.'
What will you have next,'
The bill Of fare was consulted, and the
guest announced the decision
Il reckon I'll have .few more of them ere
beams
The second instalment was not long in dis
appearing. Again the question was proposed,
Will you have your plate changed! =
"Yes.'

The waiter turned away TO conceal smile,
but did as he was ordered. He kept an eye
on the new fedged Representative, and by the
time his third plate was despatched, was by
His side with the old question.
'Of course, thought he, he'll want some
thing else this time.
What dish shall I bring you, sir!'
The Representative took up the bill of fare
and followed up its various items with his
finger till he came to the end, process which
occupied some ten minutes. He was appar-
emily in some doubt, but in few moments his
face lighted up, and he said
/ don't care if take teio more of them
ere beans
They were brought, and we need not say,
went the way of their predecessors.
Perhaps, SIR said the waiter, as he took
away the empty plate, you would like some
kind of pudding. We have all kinds.

Yes, sir

When at length his services were dispensed
with, and he returned home, he was asked
how he liked Boston!

The congregation Of church were verv
much annoyed at the continual inioxicalion of
their sexton in fact, his misconduct had
reached such height that he had been seen
to squeeze The hands Of several elderly females
while handing them out of their carriages !;
aud although said females had failed to make
any complaints, it was deemed expedient that
the vestry should call the offender to account.
Now, it so chanced that the leading man in the
veSry was certain well known physician,
and he having undertaken to reprimand the SEX
ton, animadverted upon his sin with great Sc

through, but then exclaimed with great indig-

NIAGARA FALLS. Those who wish to see
Niagara Falls in their majestic winter robe,
and in terrific sublimity, should now improve
the opportunity. Probably there is no sigh,
in the whole world SO impressively grand as
the Falls present at this time. The unprece-
dented duration of extreme cold weather, has
allowed the spray, which winter and summer
falls in an unceasing shower, gradually 10 ac-
cumulate in huge cones upon the rocks at the
foot and in front of the Falls, to an immense
size and height. The trees on Goat Island
and on the. Canada side present an aspect OF
being chiseled from alabaster or Parian mar
ble-everything within the influence of the
spray from the cataract presents this singular
ly beautiful appearance-indeed, SO immense
has been the accumulation of the frozen spray
upon the trees, as in some instances to break
down trees with trunks over a foot in diane
ter. The streams which ever percolate
through the over hanging rocks on each side
of the Falls, are gradually CONCEALED into the
semblance of immense stalactites; and in
some instances present the appearance of reg
ular colonades. Then when the sun lights
upon the scene, it gives the beholder more the
idea Of fairy land than of reality. Those who
wish TO view scene of unequalled grandeur
should now improve it.-BufaLo Commercial

REGULATORS VERSUS Pills.

REGULATORS VERSUS
We continually asked, What is the difference be-
tween Railways Regulators and ordinary pills!
We answer that pills, they onlinarily prepared
and sold by different manufacturers generally of
kndshose which operate the bowels merely pur-

Regulators resemble pills merely in shape but differ every
other characteristic.
