DUTCAY AHEAD.
An old, plain-looking and plain-spokcn Dutch
farmer, from the vicinity of the Helderburg, in
pursuit of dinner the other day, dropped i'll
at restaurant. Taking seat alongside of a
dandy-li>simo sort of fellow-all perfume

"Vell, gif me some both.'

presently returns with the desired fodder. The
sourkrout was smoking hot and sent forth its
peculiar flavor, evidently satisfactory to Myn-
hccrs nasal orgail and oice. ycnsu to that of our
dandy friend, who. after the, dish had been de-
posted on the table, and Mynheer was about
commencing an attack upon it, exclaimed:
"I-a-say, my FRIEND, a-aro you going to
eat that stuff :"
Mynheer turned slowly around, and looking
at hls iuterrogator with aIionishment, says he,

"Well," says the dandy HI--a-would as
lief devour plate of guspO!"
"Ah, veil" replied Mynheer, pitching into
the sourkrout with an evident relish, "tlat de.
pends ahogcddcr on ho'o RON tas brought up."
Dandy looked kinder caved in, and we left
with the opinion that Dutcby was one ahead.
