THE YANKEE CAPTA1N'sP
The following story is told of Yankee
in n nd his

SsoAy 40 sVAA Va - 40uAOO
captain and his mate: 6 81
Whenever there was plum pudding made
BY the captains orders, all the plums were
put in one end of it, who, after helping HIM
self passed it to the mate, who never found
any plums inhis part of it. Well, after this
game had been played for some time, the
mate prevailed on the steward to place the
end which had no plums in it next to the
captain. The captain no sooner saw the pud-
ding, than he discovered he had the wrong
end Of it. Picking up the dish and turning
it in his hands as il merely examining the
china, he said, 'sthis dish cost me two shill.
ings in Liverpool," and put it down again
as though without design, with the plum end
next himself. sis it possible" !" said the mate
taking up the dish. ssIshouId suppose it was
not worth moro than shilling, p and as in
perfect innocence, he put the dish with the
plum end next to himself. The captain look
ed at the mate, and the mate looked at the
captain; the captain laughed. 81 tell you
what, young ONE, e said the captain, "you've
found me out; so we'll just cut the pudding
lengthways this time, and have the plums
fairly distributed hereafter.

EATING HOUSES.

Reader, are you bachelor, and do you
ake your meals at Eating Houses? II 30,
We should like TO have your private opinion
q these feeding places? OF late, we have
been compelled to take our dinner at them,
md we view them with mingled feelings Of
rsspect and horror. Of respect, because
We are daily at the mercy of their proprie-
tsrs--of horror, because our recollections
q the meals we have got there are anything
bot delightful. The steam of an eating
house is at least half dinner, and, if you
enter, the manner of behavior Of the fire.
auenters and walters is q considerable dis
count Of the remaining half. Cannibals, on
every side, are yelling for ssroast Iurh' and
ssbaked Indian;'" knives and forks fly about
in alarming skirmishes after truant salt and
mustard; plates, pickles and bread are hurl-
ed fearlessly at the unhappy gouzmands;
sounds more complex than those Of the ma
sons Of Babel, and louder than the sclubbed
sounds of the blown Baltic discordantly
vex the air; ambious walters rush about with
piles Of dishes more curiously built than Q
Hebraic pile of hats, and threatening anni-
hilation to any interposing body; flies feel
themselves priyiledged body, and desposit

prejudice; and miraculous feats of mental
calculation are performed by the hosts,
compared to which EUcLlD's first book OF
Problems is the merest amusement. The
butter looks strong enough to help itself
without your being helped to it; the cheese
seems mitey as truth; the coffee is as unset
tied as some Of the customers board bills;
the mustard looks peppery; the salt as if it
was in the last stage of bilious attack;
the knives seem to have forgotten every
cutting principle Of their existence, and are
disgutingly Indifferent to polish or edge;
the forks forgot to 'sfork over" the bits Of
bread and potato, and turn their prongs all
manner of ways; and the table cloth looks
as if it had been neither baptized in, nor
sprintled with, water, for a twelvemonth.
In short, the whole establishment looks like
the boarding place Of Harpies, and unless
you have an appetite as ravenous as fam
ished hyena's, you feel that it is impossible
