BY One Majority.

Over half century ago Marcus Nor.
ton was made Governor of Massachu-
setts by only one majority. Had two
young men, who intended to vote in
the election, not been delayed by an
accident in going from Worcester to
Boston, they would have changed the
result, and Mr.. Norton's opponent
would have been elected. They had in
tended to be in Boston in season to
vote, but in their journey the old
fashioned chaise in which they were
riding gave way, and they were not
able to reach Boston till after the polls
closed. One of the two men referred to
now resides in Augusta, and has never
lost vote since.-Aa1gusta (Me.) Jour-

KITTu WHITE.

Oh, Kittie White! fair Kittie White,
ST You've shared my very heart to might,
With glance so like soft sunsets ray,
Which meets the eye at close of day:
We shyly look--we dare Eot gaze
Lest dazzled by those parting rays.
Oh, Kittie White glad Kittie White
gaI OF all the merriest, loveliest sprite,
Your tresses bright seem golden spray.
When tossing in the breeze at play;
Aud childhood g dreams come back once more
OF angel guests from brighter shore. ~
oh, Kitte Whitel loved Kitte White,
Though not with costly gems bedight,
Diamonds or pearls cannot prize.
Gainst pearly teeth and sparkling eyes;
These are the riches past his quest
Who only is Of gold possest.
Oh, Kittie Whitel dear Kittie White,
NO wonder that my heart is Light
smile from thee, thou charming elf,
lllumes for me the world itselfl
And, It Of aught dream tonight
MY dreams will be of Kittie White.

rne Gourmand at the Public Dinner

The individual gourmand is not yet
an extinct being. There are few dinner
tables which his presence does not Of
fend. The walters know him of old !;
they scent him from afar. He is ac-
quainted with the excellences and the
defects in the cooking of every tavern
of note in the city. He knows the
quality of every dish upon the menu ;
there is no mystery for him in the most
incomprehensible of French names. He
takes his seat at the table with the
manner of one who has great duty be-
fore him, and who intends filing it to
the uttermost. He opens his menu,
places it against the decanter in front
of him, and tucks his napkin under his
chin. By these preliminaries you may
know him, and it will be well that you
should recognize him at first, SO as to
spare yourself the trouble of trying to
engage him in conversation, for he is
there not to talk, but to eat. Running
his eye down the card, he ticks his fa-
vorite dishes, and, buttonholing the
waiter, begins to worry him forthwith !:
"Now, don't forget; and mind, I can't
touch it underdone. Crisp, you know,
crisp and brown. What's that you say
mo more asparagus? Why, you've
only brought me twice! All! guinea
fowls, eh? Well, if there's one thing ]

fowl, but where are the peas? Oh, hang

-guinea-fowl and no peas Why
you'll want me to eat spring chickens
without York ham next time I come
here. There; take it away! I shan't
get over this for week; no peas, eh!
Oh, yesl Look here; I'll have somo
peaches Ia Oonde, and let them be a
la Conde, and not Ia anything else.
It's not week ago that fool of
waiter brought me suedoise de creme
and swore it was ice pudding. He
thought I didn't know an ice pudding
when saw an ice pudding; but he
made mistake. And I say, none Of

try to come any fresh stuff over me, be-
cause it won't do; real ripe, with dash

What's IN ! Name?

When Lord Dnndreary gave his ser
vant half:a-crown to buy three ten
penny nails he displayed no more thai,
a pardonable simplicity in accepting
the literal Interpretation of the name
applied to the particular article which
he desired to purchase, and probably
few of those who have laughed at the
famous joke could correctly fix the
origin of the term tenpenny" as APP
piled to nails. It really means that the
nails weigh ten pounds to the thousand,
the original expression being 'sten-
pound nails;n this in time got con-
tracted to ten-pun nails;p and this in
its turn corrupted into tenpenny
nails" g asixpenny" and "fourpenny
nails are nails weighing six or four
pounds to the thousand. There are
many other similar terms, " familiar as
household words" which are in daily
use, and convey very false impression
if accepted literally. A scientific con-
temporary takes the trouble to give a
list of many household articles whose
names, when analysed, go far to justify
the skeptical inquiry of the amorous
Juliet. Salad oil, for instance, is not
oil for making salads, but oil for clean
ing sallades, i. g., helmets; while an
equally familiar instance of incongru-
ous ideas is presented in the use of the
term German silver" this metal being
neither silver nor an alloy of silver, and
not having even been invented by q
German. Ladies who button up the
dozen or more buttons of their gloves
probably seldom pause to think that
their 6 kids " are more likely made of
the skins of lambs, or even of rats, than
Of those of young goats; and still less
likely is the housemaid, or even the
young housewife, to reflect that the
common "blacklead is as innocent of
lead as it is of gold; or the knowing
city clerk to consider that his black
lead pencil contains a natural compo-
sition of carbon and iron. Instances of
the misnaming of things might be null
tiplied from among objects in daily use,
whose names are accepted and passed
from mouth to mouth with scarcely q
moments thought of their incongruity
or their origin -Dicti071ary of Slang.
