WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4

TAKE a CHAIR.---An English gentle
man arrived at change-house in Oster-
dale late one evening, and was lucky in
obtaining the only spare bed. Presently,
when he was on the point Of retiring to
rest, a Norwegian lady also arrived, in
tending to spend the night there. What
was to be done? Like gallant Eng
lishmsn as he was, be Immediately Of
Tered to give up his bed to the'unprotect-
ed female who was mistress OF little
English.
MANY thanks. but what will you do,
SIR,
ooh! l will take chair for the night. u
At this answer the lady blushed, and
darted out of the room. and in few
INMATES her cariole was driven off in the
darkness:
What could be the meaning Of i'll
The peasants wife soon after looking in
to the room with knowing sort of look
at the Englishman. He subsequently
discovered the key to the enigma. The
lady thought he said he would take q
SHARE and was of course nightly
offended. So much for smattering
Of foreign language.
Doubtless, from that day forward, she
would quote this incident to her female
friends as an instance of the natural de-
pravity of Englishmen.

There resided some years ago, in the
old Granite State, a singular individual
called Funny Bill" lie boosted that
he could 'crack joke with the best on
EN-" But Notwithstanding his profess
sional ability for testing his great desire
to lay by a little silver ''now and then, y
as he'would say, gave rise to some pleas
ing anecdotes, and he occasionally found
himself "sold." Among them is the fol-
lowing:
He was one day called to work with
several men engaged in making road
through rich field, when one Fred Far
ley, who was not on first-rate terms with
Bill, proposed playing a trick on him, if
an opportunity offered.
Just then, several large GRUB worms
We're dug up, and one of the company
asked-a singular question, to be sure
if any one there had ever eaten acorm
soup. But before any ony one could re-
ply, Fred called the attention Of all, by
saying
"Bill, I'll give you five collars to swal-
low one of these wormsr'
Bill looked up hopefully and said;
"Will ye? Let's see money fust p
Certainly replied Fred, at the same
time showing the money. mind, it
shall be your own, to keep"
"Wall," said Bill, dropping his shovel
and struggling up his shoulders, "this
ere chap amt going to refuse money
what's thrown in his face, no how
And pointing to the man nearest him,
said: ''Let this fellow hold the bill
while | does the business. III soon show
all ofye I'm not afraid of devouring such
small game"
By this time all had stopped their
work, and were watching the movements
of Bill, who had already taken worm
in his mouth audwas end eavoring to swal-
lowit, but found it difficult, as it stuck in
his throat He gagged-swallowed-
gagged again-and finally it went down.
The wager was won, much to the a.
musement OF the lookers-on. The money
was handed to him, and received with ap-
parent satisfaction-while his counte-
nance showed his willingness to do the
same thing again for anotherV Y.
"Bill," said Fred, suppressing his
laughter, Ibid 1 not say that money
should be yours?''
'Sartain,' said Bill, rolling up his
bank note and putting it his pocket
book as quickly as possible, seeming to
fear that ne would get it back.
And so it is yours" observed Fred:
for your friend down at the village
gave me that very bill this morning, re-
questlng me to give it to you-saying he
bad been owing you that amount several
months, and felt ashamed that it had re-
NAMED unpaid go long !"
1t is utterly Impossible to describe the
countenauce of Bill at this announce
ment. 1t is better fancied than portray
ed on paper Suffice it to say, that very
little work was done that day-there be-
ing more laughing than spa ding.

PICKLEs.-kettles lined with porce-
i ain should always be used in preference to
soose of brass, copper, OF bell-metal. The
yerdigris produced by the vinegar on
those metals is extremely poisonous.
For most kinds of pickles, cold Vine
gar is the best. By boiling, much Of the
strength is lost by evaporation-conse-
quently, the pickles are more liable to
spol.
Those requiring hot vinegar poured
over them, should remain uncovered I'M
till perfectly cold.
Pickles should be kept in either glass
orstone jars and closely covered to ex-
clule the air, otherwise they soon be-
come soft. A small piece of alum in each
jar vii make the pickles firm and crisp.
One tablespoonful ofsugar to each quart
OF vinegar will be found very great i'm
provement tosall pickles.
INDIAN BISCUITS. Take one quart OF
e,ld Indian mush, or hasty pudding,
pnt it into pan containing about the
same quantity of either coarse or fine
wheat floor, and add milk or sweet cream
sufficient to make the mush thin, say
upe half pint, then mix in the flour and
lnake up into biscuits as soft as you can

over twenty minutes. Cold boiled hon.

SINGULAR Custom. -In Holland they
have curious custom. Whenever a
child is born, piece of framework of
an oval shape, covered with light pink
colored silk, is placed outside the front
door of the house, where the knocker
used formerly to be placed. If the child
is girl, small portion of the upper
part is covered with white silk. Over
the whole is spread white lace, the rich
ness Of which varies with the wealth of
the inmates. Many different explana-
lions are given in regard to the custom,
aud from what it arose; but most proba-
ably it was introduced to inform all of
the birth of the infant, and give notice
to those who might wish to enter the
house not to knock too loud.
