COOKING AND COURTING.
TOM TO NED.

Dear Ned, no dou BIT you'll be surprised
When YOU receive and read this letter;
Eve rallied against the marriage state,
But then, you see, knew no better;
I've met a lovely girl out here,
Her manner is-we.l-very winning;
We're soon to Bowel, Ned, my dear,
III tell you all from the beginning.
l went TO ask her out to ride.
Last Wednesday-it was perfect weather;
She said she couldn't possibly,
The servants had gone off together.
(tilbernians always rush away,
At cousins funerals to be looking.)
Pies must be made, and she must stay,
She said, to do that branch of cooking
ooh, let me help you," then 1 cried;
'I'll be cooker, too-how jolly!'
She laughed, and answered, with smile,
"All right but you'll repent your folly;
For shall be tryant, sir,
And good hard work you'll have to graphic
SO sit down there, and don't you stir,
But take that knife and pare that apple
She rolled her sleeve above her arm
That lovely arm 50 plump and rounded
Outside, the morning sun shOne bright;
Inside the dough She deity pounded,
Her little fingers sprinkled four
And rolled the pie-crllst up in masses:
| passed the most delightful hour,
Mid butter, sugar and molasses.
With deep reflection, her sweet eyes
Gazed on each pot and pan and kettle;
She sliced the apples, filled her pies,
And then the upper crust did settle.
Her ripping waves of golden hair
In one great coil were tightly twisted;
But locks would break it, here and there.
And curl about where'er they listed.
And then her sleeve came down, and
Fastened it up-hcr hands We're doughty;
On, IL did take the longest fine.
Her arm, Ned, was so fair and snowy!
She blushed, and trembled, and looked shy;
Somehow, that made me all the holder;
Her arch lips looked SO red that L
Well-found her head upon my shoulder.
We're TO be married, Ned, next month;
Come and attend the wedding pleasures
| really think that bachelors
Are the most miserable creatures
You'd better go for some girls hand:
And if you are uncertain whether
You dare to make a due demand,
Why, just try cooking pies together,

THE EQUINE ESTABLISHMENT.

The Executive stables, near the Navy De-
partInent, are fitted up with every comfort
and luxury for the equine members of the
Presidential establishment, There are twelve
animals of various degrees of beauty and
value, kept here for the use Of the President
and his family, with four carriages. besides
an array of open wagons, buggies and other
equipages. The horses include coach teams
trotters, racers, saddle-horses, and two Shet-
land ponies for the exclusive use of the Exc
cutive's juveniles. The arstocratic- looking
Nubian who has the honor of presiding over
this establishment takes delight in showing
visitors through, and in descanting upon the
merits of the different animals. But not the
least attractive feature is the stunning liver
les Of this same Nubian and his worthy coad-
tutor, who occupies the position Of footman.
The coats are Of a rich olive brown, with
broad lappes. cuffs and pocket covers the
whole profusely covered with bright silver
buttons, the size OF an old American silver
dollar piece, The gorgeous top-boots, in
which the feet Of these worthless are encasc d
render attention to the character of the pant
aloons unnecessary. Black stovc-pipe-hats
with broad bands and massive silver buckles,
adorn the heads of these servants Of Presi-
Dental grandeur, and complete their outfit
All the carriages bear the initials - L. 5.

moment. The army ofrichly dressed servants
that fill the mansion are instructed to admit

And then it is required that the applicant for

of the President shall either be accompanied

self in attire BETTING so ceremonious an oc-
casion, very gracious reception is accorded.
But if some of our country cousins, who arc
ignorant of dress coats and French styles
follow the announced names, the frown of
the lady Of the mansion at once assures them
that their room will be more acceptable than
their company. Thus, while conforming to
the time -honored custom Of Presidents wives
to receive all callers, Mrs. Grant very en-
phatically makes known that the wife Of the
President is no ordinary person to be APP
preached in everyday dress.

treated with the utmost Difference and re-
spect. Mrs. Grant insists that whatever may
be the proper homage for him to receive on
public occasions is none the less proper in the
privacy of his own family circle Thus he is
always addressed as Mr.. President, and re-
ferred to as the President, and the servants
are strictly enjoined to observe this mark Of
distinction. On State occasions, the Presi-
dent, of course, with the most distinguished
lady guest leads the way into the dining
room. But this strict etiquette is by no means
confined to such solemn occasions Should
friend of the President, however intimate he
might be, accept an invitation to dine social
ly, and venturng upon his intimacy, presume
to forget the preference to which the Presi-
dent is entitled, he would be reminded of it.
Thus when dinner is announced, the guest
will offer his arm to Mrs. Grant, and move
forward. Mrs Grant checks him with po-
lite bow toward her husband, and the remark,
1.-THE President goes first" So at the table;
the President is first served, and then tn ose
who sit at meat with him. And this rule
admits of no variation under any circuln-
stances.

the body Of the girl Annie Mcnamara.
who was murdered by her paramour at
house ofill fame, gave rise to an affect

Into this room, with its atmosphere of
death, where the cofiins lay, piled like
logs of wood in regular order, just before
the Coroner had arrived, came the moth

dear dead one when little prattling

knowledge OF the right. and who had re-
joiced TO know that her teachings had
not been wasted upon her child until
that fatal night when the intelligence Of
the terrible death in an infamous house
came 70 her. with all the crushing force
of a hope lost forever staggered into
the abode of the dead, clingng the while
TO the arm Of q young daughter who tried
in vain to quiet the heat that gave vent
to its anguish and sobs that the most
hardened present feel As they had proba-
bly, never felt before. Slowly she drag
ged herselfinto the room, and guided by
tho girl at her side on whose shoulders
her head leaned heavily, she made her
way to the coffin in which the corpse Of
her daughter lay shrowded. She did not
lift her head, but rs her hand touched the
coffin, she shrank back with an involun-
tary shudder, and low moan, full of
agony, escaped the tightly closed lips,
and the hand fell helplessly at her side.
A few words OF encouragement from the
young woman on whom she leaned, and
the hand was again lifted 10 the coffin.
and the mother raised her head to look
upon the face OF her lost one. Her eyes
stared wildly and saw not, for the out
stretched hand wandered about the collin
top for long time before it touched the
pale upturned face which il sought; but

aloud and again and again upon the one
who heard not "Annie OH Annie,
speak to me-" she cried; "if you could
tell me all ;" and the only response was
the echo of the questioning voice and the
splash of the waves that broke upon the
stone fronting beside the Morguc. Again
and again was the name of the dead one

come back anl at last. in the midst of
her great grief, the mother va. led from
