PALENE,S,S AND PIE.

An English writer declares his impression
to be, that the peculiar paleness Of the New
England girls connects itself with too much
metaphysics, hot bread and pie. He says;
Ihave strong convictions on this subject of
pie. MOTTO speak of mere paleness, 1 don't
see how the Americans can reconcile II with
their notions of what is due to the laws of
nature, tolive to the age they do, considering
the amount of pie they eat. ! don't remember
that ever sat down to dinner in America,
even in n poor mans house, without finding
pie Of some kind-often of several kinds-on
the table, and without finding that everybody
partook of it, down to the microscopic lady or
gentleman whom we shall call the baby. Pie
Is indispensable. Take anything away but
leave pie. Americans can stand the prohibi-
ton of all intoxicating drinks, but attempt
to prohibit pies, and you would plunge Amer.
