MEN OF UNBoUNDED STOMACH.--lt was
owing, iu great degree, to the wretched con-
dition of their commissariat that the Austrlans
were defeated at Austerlitz. LET US eat and
drink, for tomorrow we may die, is motto
which has often been denounced, aud most
Justly, by Christian moralists. 'Let US eat and
drink we'll, lest tomorrow we die, would be a
good substitute. The pleasures of the table are
not the highest form Of human enjoyment, 1t
is true. but for all that, an oyster pie is good
thing when we'll made.
"A mao," says Dr. johnson, who has no
regard for bis stomach will have 90 regard tor
anything else" A French gourmand declared
that the discovery of new dish is more I'm
portant than tie discovery of new star, De
cause there never can be dishes enough, but
there are stars enough already. 1t is mis-
take to suppose that only bralnless men, with
full paunches and empty pates, have keen
relish for the luxuries of the table--that, as
Shakespeare says.
Make rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the
wits.
The celebrated scholar, DR.. Carr, confessed
love for 'hot Holsters, with a protuslop OF
shrimp sauce" Pope was decided epicure,
and would lie 10 bed for days at BoiDgbroOke S
unless be were told that there we're stewed
lampreys for dinner, when he would rise To-
stanlly and hurry down to table. Cleopatra Is
said to have owed her empire over tpSar as
much to her suppers as to her beauty, aud who
can tell how much the love of the Grand Mon
arch, Louis XIV, for Madame de Maintenou
was owing 10 the invention of the immortal
outlets which bear her name?
Cardinal Wolsey was coucillated by the good
dishes on the Field of the Cloth Of Gold, and
Agrippa won Claudus by receipt Tor dressing

Wasn't Afraid of Bees.

As they saw the bees passing thene&
selves around familiarly, the lady us
tered in timid voice:
Good gracious! we can never 70 by
therew
"Pshaw," calculated her lord and
master, "don't be foolish. Bees never
modest any one that does not m0lesf
them. They are perfectly harmless il you
let them alone. All you need is a little
nerve; when they come buzzing about
you walk right along, and don't SO mucd
as make a motion toward them, even R
they should light on your face. Come
on, now; II you haven't nerve, just I0ok
at me and see how simple it is"
With pardonable feeling Of pride IN
the noble. husband, the wife watched
him as he moved steadily along toward
the tree where the greater part OF th&
insects were having a rehearsal la Gil
mOre's band, while a number were doing
the Skidmore Guard on the fence. and
still others were sliding around in The
ar. evidently on picket duty, humming9
''We'H march around jerusalem See1
ing that her husband was not annoyed
by the little fellows, the lady followed
him, but took the precaution to throw d
light shawl over her head and shoulders,'
leaving only a peep-hole for one eye.
Running up TO her husband, who was
walking along looking cross-eyed at q
bee which had lit upon his nose, and
wondering whether the cussed little
creature was going to give him one, Just
for luck, and thinking how sweet ha
would look with pfoboscis resembling
quarter section OF lobster-she I'M
quired, John, ain't you afraidY mot
thinking of anything else appropriate to
the occasion. He ourled up his lin and
the tip of his nose in disdain at the
thought, and just then he got it from the
bee on the upper deck. His wife will
never forget the exclamation he gave nt1
ttrance to, and the Dystanders generally
remarked that 1t Was exhaustive and
fully did justice to the occasion. \
He struck at the bee yioiously, and tn
q second the whole Skidinore Guard
Jerusalem Warblers and Gilmore Band
were upon him. They took him on tina
face and hands, nibb!ed his ears, pros.
pected his back, ran up his nose and
sank more shafts On the top Of his bald
head than there are ON the Comstock
lode. II he had been possessed Of thou.
sand hands he could not have kept the
enemy OH. ana Ii his name had been J0b
he could not have helped calling dowa'
maiedictions upon all the women as ha
heard his wife advising under her shawl,
"DOn't hit at them, Johnl Don't fghH

laughter from all the spectators as the

arms working like an old-iashionea
