amusements, holds its court as regular
as the evenings come, and frequently
continue to the "wee' sma' hours aJant

would delight the palate Of an epieure
and forbid the criticism Of the most ias-
tidious.

land, the truth of which is fully verified
by the rapid improvement OF several OF

fond OF mater, ] cannot speak expert

fine appetizer, for / invariably felt al
every dinner as IL I could with perfect
convenience and comfort reduce a tur-
key gobler to skeletOn-much less
quail.
