A Vermont correspondent gives us the
following anecdote Of a little skirmish
on the knife and fork question, IN which
the knife got the advantage: A miscel-
laneous company Of guests were dining
at the Van Ness House, in Burlington.
Among the number was a high-bred,
would-be lady, aud farmer, who under
stood bis business, but not Of the starch
ed up order. During the exchange ofdif-
ferent courses Of food. pie was brought
on. but the farmers knife was missing
whereupon he called loudly, Waiter L
want my knife to eat my pie with. The
lady exclaimed, 20. what countryman,
to eat pie with knife ]" But he got
along IN silence, ate his pie weil'enough.
Not so with the lady. She took her fork
and trying 70 cut her pie into pieces It
was soon lying upon the floor at her
side whereupon the farmer exclaimed.

TOn Typo.

Tom Typo was a printers lad,
hound in the good old way;
And when he'd served his seven years,
The devH was to pay.
So when his boss had paid him off,
To put himself to proof.
He swung his bundle took his stick,
And left his masters roof.
He started in on odds and ends
Pertaining to his trade;
For we'll he knew that much depends
On first impressions made.
Where duty called him he was found,
Still working in his place;
He stood, while setting mp q job,
Which really was the case.
He never swerved an inch from rules,
To make his matter fat;
But spaced life's paragraphs, that fools
Might never scoff thereat.
In course of time his honest heart
'Twined round muslin dress,
And as the wearer was agreed.
Their fond lips ieeHt 10 press.
He married pretty Emma Gray;
With many haws and hens.
This little joke he used to say:
"He'd like ten thousand ems"
Sweet Emma proved to honest Tom
A true and faithful wife,
And freely was admitted to
The Sdnct,m of his life.
Times rollers passed across life's bed,
But never linked Toms wealth
His troubles bore a double lead
Still he compoSed-himself.
And SO he kept his pages clear,
And grew to be a tNpe
Of all that manhood holds most dear,
When Tom with age was ripe.
At last, when came the final rest,
Without one sigh or moan
lie said "My friends, above my breast
Place no imposing stone
He made his last impression here,
While yet his heart was warm;
just In the nick closed his career,
And death locked mp has form.

In sorowing eyes shall swell;
For though he handled much 6revier,
His life was noHpdreH.

The mystery hanging about the fate
of poor little Charlie Ross still remains
unsolved. The opinion is gathering
strength that the child is either dead, or
that some other motive than the desire
Of gain. as yet unknown, controls those
who have him secreted. More than
$4,000 have been expended in the
search, which has extended across the
continent from ocean to ocean. The
printing and photography alone have
cost $4,000. as many as 100000 circu-
lars having been issued. The corre-
spondence has given employment to
