Too Great u Tyranny to Endure.


A young lady Of one Of our suburbs, who
married recently and went to a Connecticut
city to live, reports remark on tho part OF a
servant girl which is quite epic in that line.
The lady, having large house and being de-
sirous of running it in good form, called up
her cook each day to the dining room (Which
was ON the main floor, the kitchen being i'll the
bGsement and there gave her her orders for
the meals and other matters connected with
the downstairs work. For day or two the
cook took the orders with rather bad grace,
but committed no overt act of instruction.
But presently, one day after the mistress had
finished her orders, the cook spoke up:
"And now, mum, she said. II want We to
isthen to what have to say, an it's this; that,
if yere go'an' to shtay here, an We have
ordhers to give me, yen have to come down.
shtairs to the basement, FOR I'll not be comm
up here to ye amy more"
Before the young mistress could recover her
breath after that IF ye're go'an to SHAY" the
girl went on:
"An' there's another thing want to tell ye
notice that ye have wine on the tebble aich
day, but that none af 1t WHATEVER gets down.
shtair to the kitchen. Now, that's nayther
roight nor fair, an give ye warnin' that some
of that wine must find its way to the kitchen
or I'll be LAWN ye."
The mistress had by this time recovered her
composure. "You may be lawn mo thus after
noon, pleased" she said.
