In looking through an old book we
came across what is described as the
Yorkshire Doric, the peculiarities Of
speech used by the people around,
Haworth, the birthplace of Charlotte
Bronte, the authoress of "Jane Eyre"
1t has been O mistaken idea that the
people of those barren moors were
devoid Of racy humor. Below is q
sample taken from the book, and
gives specimen OF their Caustic
jokes, quoted from the Classic An
nual entitled, "Tbe Pogmoor Olme-
mack"
Long Division-TCivous in bakers
cake.
Short Division--T'space atween a
miser's purse end his heart.
Cumpaand Addishum, - An auld
lady at tsks snuff, and has her cloes
scented to bargain.
Propoarshun, "A woman lettin hur
waist grow like natur intended il, and
not squeeze 1t til it is ma thicker than
a neck of champagne bottle.
Exchainge,-Two wimmen differin,
and tellin wun another all they nav
Invoices-A woman as tawks more
indoos than aght.
Promiscus Examples-A man tack
10 his BARNS to warships when, T. fit
tacks him.
Rule-a-Three--A lodgln-hause bed.
Single poslshan-An auld mead.
The Yorkshire men call this creed
of satire--"The Dumestick Tutor"
We think this a refutation Of an
article published sometime ago in one
of the eastern papers in speaking of
the stolidness of the people Of Char
lotte Brontes birthplace, 10 biographi-
cal sketches.

When Switzerland was on the verge
OF being overwhelmed by the jealousy
of the Austrians, the Switzers we're
aroused to their danger very suddenly
by the spirited appeal Of one of the
wives, of the afterwards immortal
historic patriots of Switzerland. The
wife of Werner Stsuffacher, one of
the three confederates of the field of
Griith; became 30 alarmed by the EN-
croachments of the Austrisns that
she appealed and entreated her hus-
band to arouse his comrades to action.
The heroic spirit shown by the wife
induced the friends of liberty to take
such measures that Switzerland was
finally delivered. History speaks but
little Of the women Of Switzerland,
but the spirit and love of liberty was
heroically shown as much by them as
by the men. They were the first to
notice the jsalousies shown by the
Austrian bailiffs towards well-to.do
owitzers And the province of Lam
lenberg was the first to start in the
overthrow of foreign and Alien land
holders. Switzerland was for the
Swltzers, and they were going to
maintain it so, and no stranger
should enter who would conflict with
heir established rules, and that little
vailed in country not much larger
han some of our smallest states has
produced more lmpulsive and make
way for liberty" men than any other
country in civilized Europe.
