On detached portions Of a boiled
turkey, with oysters, the conver.

she could name more distinguished
individuals who bore the name OF

continued the laughing little vo-
man.
Now if ever a bashful man lived
it was Joe. He dared not look up.
he had been racking bis brain for
an answer, but to no purpose, and
in despair he made one grand effort,
and rasing bis head, replied:
