Jagged Pigeons-a very old recipe.
Truss and season the pigeons with pepper
and salt, and, having stuffed them with
a mixture of their own livers, shred with
beef suet, bread crumbs, parsley mar
ioram, and two eggs; sew them up at
both ends. and put them into the Jug,
breast downward, with half pound Of
butter: cover up the Jug So that the steam
cannot get out; then set them in pot of
water to stew. They will take two hours
and more in doing, and they, must boil
al the time. When stewed enough take
them out of the gravy; skim off the fat;
pour in spoonful of cream, little lem.
on peel, and snchovy shred, and few
mushrooms; add little white wine to
the gravy, and having thickened it wit
butter and dour, and dish up the pigeons
pour the sauce over them. Garnish with
sliced lemon.

" And this is my incantation," 1 con-
tinued, "you swear that you hate Tim
Somers'--
mol" she almost shrieked.
Poor Tim had been listening. Fearing
harm to his wife from my supposed luna
cy, and hearing the question L had put,
and the response, he rushed in, frantic
with Joy, clasped her in his arms, kissed
her over and over again, and jumped
about the room with the wildness of O
mailman. She did not seen to compre-
hend what she had done for an instant,
but when she remembered that she had
spoken, and OWNED the meaning of my
cabalistic efforts, she came near fainting
with her emotion.
Thank God the spell is broken ~
she said, the hideous spell that has
bound me to silence and sorrow so
long"
The mystical word having been
spoken" said 1, that has brought the
diverging lines together, am free to tell
what 1 sought at midnight, on Rattle
snake Hill.'
What was it ~ they both asked in
breath.
A woman's tongue 2" / replied
"and since have found it, never allow
any trifling cause to silence it again.
My theory was correct as to her not
speaking. She had vowed perpetual ST.
lence, and had kept her vow until
brought to utter one word by stratagem,
which had unsealed her tongue again.
The children were delighted and ran all
around the neighborhood telling every
body that their mother could talk, and
everybody rushed in to ascertain what it
meant. For time it seemed as though
anarchy and confusion had become in
stalled on Tom Somers hearthstone, to
make up the silence that had so long
brooded there; but he bore it all good
humeredly. left them a week after
wards, the happiest couple you ever
saw, and my midnight excursion to Rat
tlesnake Hill was often alluded to.
Did you really go there ?" Mrs.
Somers asked, the morning before
came away.
"No" said 1, initiating her emphatic
accent of the same monosyllable in re-
ply to my incan tation, and we had d
grand laugh about it; Tim Somers
swearing my seership was the best ever
known, and my magic had wrought a
happier effect than that of all the fairies
he had ever seen exhibited at the mu-
scum.
"Good bye," said Burner, as he fin
ished his story, and he left well sat
isfed with the manner in which he had
spent his vacation.

d" DEEN up in the country ?" !
ID queried, as 1 met my friend
Burner in the street few days since. L
hadn't seen him for some time, and he
looked sunburnt and rough, as if he had
been exposed to the country sun. He
informed me that he had, and that he
had been to visit Tim Somers, a mutual
friend of ours, who had moved away
from town two years before. After in
quiries concerning his visit and his en-
.joyment during the warm months,
conversation reverted to our old friend
I" never was more surprised in my
life," said Burner, " than 1 was to see
him in the depot at Ramshead. L had
quite forgotten that he was located
there"
/ informed him that L had also for
gotten it, though 1 believed his wife's
relatives were living there.
His wife's- yes, yes," continued
Burner, " singular woman that; did you
know herp"
" Yes," replied "she is a little,
bustling, talkative thing, full of fun and
chat, and making her house merry by
the music of her voice. Nice little wo-
man."
Burner looked at me moment, and
burst into laugh, to my great wonder
ment. requested him, in a tone of
chagrin, to inform me what the deuce he
was laughing at.
Talkative!" said he, when he could
checkrein his cachinatory colt " found
her anything but that, 1 tell you.
never knew the lady when she lived in
town, but more taciturn body never
saw than found her."
Indeed !" 1 remarked; "then there
must have been change, truly"
:" met Somers in the depot" con-
tinued Burner, land he was very glad
to see me, inquiring after the old friends,
and you with the rest. Through all his
Joy however, saw that there was vein
of sadness; and when L alluded to his
family he appeared embarrassed, and dis
posed to change the subject. / had no
object in view in visiting Ramshead,
other than the change of scene, and did
not intend to remain there but day or
two; but seeing Somers led me think
that it would not be bad thing to tarry
there awhile, seeing that there was a
beautiful pond of water in the vicinity,
as / had seen from the cars as 1 came
along, and deep wood denoting game.
Somers used to be great on those things,
you know. ] limited at our former sport
ing practices, and mentioned my half
resolution to stay but, instead of mani
testing an interest in the subject, he
sighed deeply, and replied:

my hand, nor put gun to my shoulder,
for five long years, and l never shall
again"

but i know that he was sincere.
