Vegetarian yagaries.

People eat too much meat NOWADAYS.
and, neglecting vegetables, do not learn
the many ways in which these can be
cooked so as to provide a diet cheaper
than meat, and as agreeable for q
change. Therefore the We. etarians
who have been banqueting to show
what may be done with vegetables have
rendered service. But it is pity
that some of them should create preju-
dice against themselves and their dishes
BY nonsensical talk about the killing o:
animals for food. Have they not heard
that q -cording to certain scientists tho
vegetable feels and perhaps thinks? 1t
may be demonstrated to future genera
tions that the blushing carrot is suscep-
ceptible of tender emotions, and that
the retiring ways of the tru'f'e are due
to a well-reasoned aversion to the wick
edness which is 10 be witnessed above
ground. But again every vegetable
contains animalculr, and we never
condemn a potato to boiling without
booming to death thousands of little
creatures who may be az interesting in
their WAYS as the lobster in his. The
truth is, all nature lives, and the man
who would eat without destroying Ii G
will find his task difficult one Il he
sets about it honestly with the help of 4
microscope. However. we may borrow
dishes from vegetarians without taking
their opinions. Meat we must have to
some extent, because nature has made
us carnivorous; but being graminivor-
Gus also we shall find ourselves the bet
ter for letting vegetables play =
greater part in our Interior economy
than they do at present. How comes it
that lentils and white beans, once so
much eaten by our agricultural and
working classes, are now never so much
as named among them?-Londoa
